Thinking about it, if they were only looking for people to give powers to, why would Lagoon Boy be a perfect specimen, as Kaldur stated? Granted Kaldur was making an excuse not to kill him, but still. Neutron certainly points to the Partner giving people powers, but perhaps he's also capturing people who already have powers (perhaps unknowingly in Tye's case) in order to study them?
