Augustine was able to reconstruct the technology and use it to begin transferring her powers to the soldiers. Once the first batch was made, the original subjects could be used as the source for more.

The part about only manufactured conduits is Jossed though, as it's made clear by the age of characters and the fairly small time-skip that there were conduits the RFI missed.

* Given that Conduits tend to have an innate HealingFactor, perhaps they also have an innate empathetic power to share a portion of that regenerative capability to others via their elemental power? Sure, it might not cure major, potentially mortal wounds like "a dozen concrete spikes embedded through your lower body", but for something like a stray bullet wound, no biggie.

[[WMG: All Conduit powers can be used to heal the sick and wounded.]]
With Cole, it was slightly understandable how he could heal the injured people laying in the street, since he was a human defibrillator. But Delsin simply uses his smoke powers to lift them off the ground and onto their feet. How does this work exactly? Maybe all Conduit powers, no matter what they are, are able to be used to heal others just by their nature.

Also, I don't think companies want to perpetuate the notion some people have about prevalent wifi being a harmful force, as ''somebody'' would inevitably draw on that as "evidence" for their argument.

[[WMG: All the powers Delsin gets are going to fall under the air motif]]
His first power is Smoke, the air equivalent to fire, and then there's Neon, which the lighting type of the same name requires gas to be in use. It also shows how he contrasts Cole, who used Lightning an element commonly associated with Air when in relation to a sky god such as Zeus but can also be associated with fire(plasma).
* So he won't get water powers but nothing stops him from getting Vapor, he won't get Earth powers but instead gets Dust and any of the other powers goes along these lines. Nice.

In the good ending of inFamous 2, [[spoiler:the boat that Cole and Zeke are on is hit by lightning in the shape of a question mark. While this could easily just be SuckerPunch hinting at another game, it could also be how Cole comes back to life, with the lightning 'recharging' Cole like a dead battery.]]

Alternately, [[spoiler:Cole could still be dead]], but Zeke could return to teach Delsin how to use his powers and how to fight the government. He was, after all, very against government control in the first inFamous.

In the original timeline, John may not have been fused with the Ray Sphere since the events of InFamous never happened. Also, considering the Beast in Kessler's timeline was out for destruction and hunted Kessler for years, it seems he wasn't the same Beast ([[WellIntentionedExtremist John White]]) that went across the countryside activating Conduits.

In Kessler's timeline, ~8 years from what would have been the [[InFamous Empire City Ray Sphere Event]], Cole marries Trish and has two daughters, the government slides further into becoming a PoliceState, and the First Sons are still working on the Ray Sphere without Kessler's guidance. Delsin, a [[PlayingWithFire fire and smoke powered Conduit]] rallies against the tightening grip of the government, and in this timeline, is or [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becomes]] canonically [[ChaoticEvil Infamous]]. As his powers become stronger, he becomes closer and closer to the fire-and-brimstone Beast from Kessler's vision, and eventually grows strong enough to wipe out the government altogether, and begins hunting strong Conduits to give him a good fight. Kessler jumps back in time and sets into motion the events of the first two games.

If Cole managed to survive the RFI blast at the end of InFamous2, or otherwise was brought back to life, he realizes he can't go back to his old way of life with Trish dead, and having nothing left for him to do with the Beast gone, when the government begins to crack down on Conduits, Cole decides to follow in Kessler's footsteps, and leads his own group (the Second Sons, maybe?). In canon, Cole would have had to have taken the good ending, so Cole would be the BigGood of the game. If Delsin is played evil, Cole is the FinalBoss.

Sucker Punch can't just pull away from the lightning motif that's been representing inFAMOUS for years. Maybe you'd get some sort of ability that is connected to electricity. Sucker Punch did say that the smoke powers are only the tip of the iceberg

Given that being a Conduit is genetic, it's highly likely that he has the gene. With that in mind, the only question is how this will come into play.
* Option One) He's had powers longer than his brother, and just has been concealing them.
* Option Two) Depending on karma choices, he'll get powers due to something Delsin does, but with a horrible price, or he'll get them from the DUP, at no price beyond working with them.
* Option Three) Reggie has the exact same power as Delsin, and copies Delsin's collection of powers in time to take over as the player character.

In that Delsin is the younger between him and Reggie while the splinter group is a new group lead by a secondary protagonist.

[[WMG: There will be a DownloadableContent dealing with Werewolves.]]
Delsin is a ContrastingSequelMainCharacter after all. Like with Festival of Blood, it'll be a made up story but with him being Native American it can be portrayed as a modernization of lore passed down through the generations.

[[WMG: Zeke will appear in the game.]]
And outside of being ProperlyParanoid about the government, he'll seem like a crazy homeless guy who talks to Delsin about Cole but in a way that implies he's still alive. Delsin of course would brush him off at first but in the ending monologue Delsin will say something about Zeke not being so crazy after all as he sees in the distant that [[HesBack blue lightning]] crashes down and goes off to greet(good karma) or fight(bad karma) the individual who has just arrived.

[[WMG: This game will reference the first but be different at the same time.]]
All the conduits will either be natural like Kessler or similar to Kuo [[spoiler:(injected with stuff is what is believe to give her those powers)]] The game will end similarly too, with a few key differences between Good and Bad Karma.
