Perhaps they've already hinted at things to come. I remember hearing from one of the developers that Columbia's original theme would have been a great battle between technophiles versus luddites. Perhaps the Cold War theme people have been posing could function as a mantle-based bunker created by one of the major powers to escape from the conflict and the conflict that occured within the bunker could be between the Luddites who beleive that the entire war was caused by invention and use both overwhelming tactics and consistantly use pre-atomic age (but still capable) weapons and the Technophiles who beleive in quality over quantity and use their own anachronistic versions of both modern and still developing technology. For Plasmid-esque powers, instead of extracting mutagenic fluid from a sea-slug or using condensed dimensional fragments, perhaps they could have a direct application parasite that bonds with a user until exposed to. . . something, maybe salt or light? That's my two-cents anyway, hope it's not to convoluted.
