[General] I was bitten by a radioactive turtle and got the ability to fly. I thought this seemed odd, but now I’m wondering: Why do radioactive animal bites normally grant thematically appropriate powers?

The radiation merges your genetics with theirs. One would expect for the turtle shell gene to have been inserted into your DNA resulting in overnight growth of armor that's protective power in the human world is proportional to the protective power of a turtle's shell in the animal world. Because your turtle half would be at war with your human half, you could learn to manifest and suppress the armor as needed, perhaps by training yourself with vocal commands like "Turtleman, armorize!".
