It's not about making sense, it's about consistency. Heroes is supposed to be about "normal people" with extraordinary abilities. The abilities are only supposed to come from evolution. Evolutionary changes take time. Up to now, being stabbed in the back of the head (Claire called that a "soft spot") is supposed to result in permanent death as long as the object stays in place. Now all of a sudden it no longer works.
I generally don't mind comparisons with characters outside of Heroes, but keep in mind that Heroes is a unique program and comparisons generally fail because of the different ways people get their powers in the other genres. Heroes is unique in that the only way people get their powers is though evolution. So Sylar should be totally flesh & bones just like the rest of us. The only difference is that he has been fortunate enough to be able to gain extraordinary abilities.
