Champions: Pick Your Powers!
A quote from Champions dev Randy Mosiondz caught my eye today:
There’s currently 18 power themes, 12 different movement powers. The new Earth movement power rocks!
And if those numbers scream anything to me, it’s “SYP! MAKE US INTO A LIST!” I can’t ignore the voices, I just can’t! They’ll murder my cat if I do! And I don’t even have a cat! So although some of this is pretty old knowledge, here’s the power themes and movement powers we know about.

I take it the Power Themes have loads of subsets of powers and abilities? Any info on what’s included in them? I.e. are some power themes only for certain roles (DPS, tanking, melee, long range) or could you say, pick Ice powers and then decide what you want to do with them?
Isnt Radiation a theme?
I hope so at least. this is what i was in CoH…if its not in Champions ill be a sad party worm
I haven’t seen any radiation-specific powers, HOWEVER… one of the first crisis zones is radioactive-themed, with NPC mobs all sporting radioactive attacks. That plus the fact that Cryptic said they’re going to be adding more power themes bodes well for radiation.

and they also recently released a story about a Radiation themed Villain named Gigaton:
