I don't know how the books handle it, but from what we've seen on the show beings either adapt to cope with the radiation, are mutated/deformed by it (in early developmental stages, it's not like you'd just sprout an extra head) or die from it.

While we've seen horses with two heads, we've also seen horses with just the one head.

There's been no suggestion that radiation based mutation gives any "abilities". The "super" strength shown by Lincoln is caused by the red serum (It floods the body with adrenalin. This is mentioned on the writers blog).

Others are curious about the deformed figure that Octavia sees...

I'd guess that he may be something like a grown up Zoran. Osias and Sienne can't be the only parents in 97 years to refuse to sacrafice their child because he looks a little bit different.

I love this show, there's always plenty to talk about... :)
