I believe in the predestination theory on super-powers. Anybody else would have died if given the same amount of radiation Banner took. Taggart exploded because his body couldn't handle what Pepper' s could. I believe that that all three (lightning, device, drug) contributed to Gill's powers but he was "structured" to get them. Dormer was not, so he died.

I was an X-Men fanatic and believed that these type of people had mutant children, but needed an extraordinary circumstance to have powers themselves.

I believe there were four factors to his powers. But what about Scorch; how'd he get his powers...
