It varies per person. Some people gain healing abilities, others gain invulnerability or awesome strength. I can only guess that it has to do with the radiation from the Core.

The locals have powers too, possibly inherited from their time spent in the city around the Core. They're just as much of an issue as fellow Newcomers, regardless of scruples.
