How am I supposed to mutate into a superhero if radiation has no effect?

I know you're joking, but from what Udo is saying, it seems like this is stopping the body from killing off corrupted cells. So if anything, this would actually be a step closer to super hero mutation.

Not really. It's a step closer to randomly dispersed neoplasia/tumours popping up around your body!
step closer to have super hero mutant children, perhaps, if it's keeping your gonads alive but mutant.

Well, to be fair, a step closer doesn't mean it's not still basically impossible... but you're right, children are a far more likely vector.
