Because Gamma Rays Totally Work Like That.
[ACTION, in the labs]
[There's a commotion in the corridors of the Labs. Alarm lights flash. Sparks fly from the mainframes. The scientists show their cohesion during crisis by all dutifully panicking at once. A dumpy man in an even dumpier spandex outfit trundles past them all, wielding what looks like a tazer lashed haphazardly to a stick. He rips open another mainframe housing and jabs the taser inside, creating another shower of sparks and a distant plaintive cry of "MY FILES!" from some forgotten terminal.]
"AHAHAHAH, Run, RUN, scientists, for I am the dreaded SYSTEM CRASH! I hold in my hands the the CRASH DRIVE, that will scour your systems and render them ALL unusable! I am the force of entropy! Murphy is my master! And YOU are his slaves! HAHA--"
[He cuts off as the CRASH DRIVE is pulled backwards by the hook of a red crowbar. A brief scuffle, the jolt of a few hundred kilo-volts are thrown around, and with the loud PAANK of crowbar meeting head and a meaty thud of body hitting floor, System Crash is effectively shut down.]
...Really, guys? I got paged from hazmat for THIS?
[VIDEO, soon after]
[The camera shows Gordon at the Labs in a strange orange-and-grey suit that only a handful of people in Sirocco had seen so far. He doesn't explain that yet, and instead aims the camera downward to show a blobby blue-and-yellow spandex-enclosed human sprawled on the floor.] Found another one. "System Crash." [He rights the camera again.] He did some minor damage, but nothing we can't eventually replace.
[This said while his colleagues are in the background mournfully sobbing over lost data.]
...Booster, you want 'im over at JLS for questioning? Because these guys don't want anything to do with him right now. Everyone else... is there someone out there who knows anything about brain biology, pharmacology or hypnosis? We've got a running theory that these guys are altered somehow, and we need to know what's being used.
[ACTION, later, just outside labs.]
Those out and about in the center of town may see Gordon, in the same suit, half-dragging a slightly overweight and profoundly dazed man out of the labs. The man is asking all sorts of questions, and Gordon, for his part, is not trying very hard to answer them at all.
"Whut happen'd...? My head hurts. How'd I wind up in the labs? Why m' I wearing this? Why're you wearing THAT? Wait... waitwaitwait I got it! You guys irradiated me with something and turned me into a superhero, didn't you? HA, I knew this day would come!"
Gordon audibly facepalms.

[Tired of dealing with this stuff? JUST A LITTLE.]
Take him to the cops. Do you know where the station is?

[He makes a mental note to just toss any of the other freaks he finds their way too. If nothing else, it'll make Booster a little bit more tolerable of a roommate at the end of the day.]

Sounds like the Labs. It looks like on top of anemoi research, micallany and new admittance stuff, hey, I'm de-facto security now! [Bitterly humorous tone there.] Having an impenetrable suit of body armor weighed a little on this decision, I'm sure... Anything else I should know if I find another one of these guys?

Well... maybe this isn't going to be so bad after all! These guys aren't even particularly dangerous, just annoying and destructive.
[Plus he won't admit it, but part of him actually kind of likes the idea of playing the hero.]

[Oh yeah, like he'd REALLY do that.]
