I also read somewhere else (though I'm sure someone here will come along and prove me wrong shortly) that we've never actually seen Peter use two powers at once. So maybe he can only use one at a time and since he had Ted's turned on, he couldn't fly away.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, people keep saying that, but I'm pretty sure we've seen him use two at once. Wasn't he telekinesing paint buckets at Isaac while invisible ?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
No, I think he was tripping over them.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Still even if he could use two at once, he was trying to contain a nuclear explosion.
That's gotta take a bit off ones focus.

As he was invisible, he could have also been throwing them.

Trust my rage
Does Peter now have Sylar's powers? I think he should, given the proximity during the fight. And Hiro's power too.
eta: I think the "can't use two powers at once" or "couldn't use powers while trying to avoid exploding" is a total fanwank. There was nothing in the story to explain why he couldn't fly away. To me, he didn't fly because the writers wanted Nathan to have a change of heart.

He already had Hiro's power, from Future Hiro.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
He didn't use Hiro's power very much - I think we've only seen him literally stop time and teleport (perhaps), not move between future and past.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Does Peter now have Sylar's powers?
Ooh, he should. Really kinda makes sense that he hasn't used Hiro's power much - that one must take some serious practice - even Hiro messes it up sometimes!
If Peter returns alive next season, I wonder if "dying" in a nuclear explosion will take away some of his powers, maybe "reset" him from the beginning with only his own power. (What do we call Peter's native power? Hero-sucking?) Because right now, he's way too powerful, even if he doesn't have all of Sylar's accumulated powers too. Something's got to exist or happen to dial him back a bit, or the show will become "Peter and His Superfriends".

Peter met Sylar at Homecoming.
Hasn't Peter used telekinesis?
