How did The Union get their powers in Jupiter's Legacy?

In some of the latest episodes of Jupiter’s Legacy, it was depicted how Sheldon Sampson begins to experience blackouts along with visions to draw some circular patterns. It was then revealed how those visions were sent to test the strength of his character and trying to make him go against his loved ones. The island then chose the other five candidates to make them appear in his visions. The challenges set up on the island were then overcome by the members of The Union including a bunch of some difficult obstacles. As they head towards the final challenge, they realise how they needed to work together to overcome it. As they move ahead, they find a doorway where some of the people of the island were seen waiting for them in the chosen avatars. They then congratulate the six of them on overcoming all the hurdles and challenges on their way and reward them with superpowers. As the powers were given to them by the island beings, it could be theorised that either it could be some advanced technology or as per the theme of the series, it could have been derived from the Roman pantheon namely Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Apollo and Vulcan with each of them providing different powers to the members of the Union.
