I kinda wonder if the helmet guy didn’t originally have “powers” so to speak, but when he got his head blown off, he got possessed/taken over by some anomaly (kinda like venom or something, or like the werewolf baseball guy in the 1st pairing) and then it took over his body/part of his conscience and allows him to live. But maybe it’s unable to regenerate him, only kinda reanimate his body, hence having no head. It would explain his seemingly weird comfort with the vulgar talk of death and murder. He may view himself as sort of walking a weird line between dead and alive.
All under the assumption that the audience (us) is supposed to interpret their world as mostly functioning with “similar” common sense as us….which seems to be the case since the whole thing is about a team of people working to contain anomalies.
