I liked Gren the moment I read about him.

As a fellow powerhouse character maker, and cyborg enthusiast, I really like your idea of Gren. I actually have leaning toward going down the cyborg route with Ferris. He already has a prosthetic arm and leg [s]and some artifical internal organs[/s]. I planned for him to get beat up pretty good several times. Emotional scars to match the physical ones, if I may be poetic for a moment.

That is also one reason I wanted to see Ferris meet up with Gren during the wrestling tournament. I wanted to explore how they may interact with their similar interests.

I'm not entirely sure what transpired in the past about being too powerful, and cyborgs that seems to put a quite a chip on a few shoulders, but I think its fine to have a powerful character. Not something to be self-conscious of. Even if they end up more powerful then average, as long as they a. Are not game-breaking b. Unreasonably so (like they have a good reason for it, a good backstory, and they gain it over a reasonable amount of time) and c. Are fine with the GMs. 

I speak from experience because I like to make my characters powerful to explore ideas like power can't solve everything. And that has caused me to come into conflict with some GMs before.

My last bit of thought on getting new and cool gear, think of real life limitations, things like budget, storage, learning and or adjustment periods. Technology limitations, and perhaps govermental limitations. Things might be illegal for the public due to possible safety reasons (think if terrorists got a hold of them). Also, think what would be sacrificed by giving him something. Like mobility, dexterity, and speed for armor. Weight balance and arodynamics for jetpacks. 

But, its very likely that what I'm saying is nothing new.

And your woes are just as important as debating how we will continue because it will affect how we as players function as a group from here on out. Its important to settle differences. If not quickly, then resolutely.

But again, newcomer here. What do I know? I'm not tring to reawaken any previous discussions.
