**Superhumans**, also known as **Mutants**, are humans with natural-born superpowers or like the og-mutants, they were caused from a major "accident". Even humans who were not born with powers but gained them through non-supernatural or non-technological means (known as Metahumans) can still be classified as a subtype of Superhumans, as they had to have the necessary genetics that allowed them to gain those powers in the first place. The world's most popular scientist, Dr. Archie Hill is the creator of these vastly powerful species.

## History

The first Superhumans came to be some time following the public appearance of Buck Jones. A chemical compound known as Metamorphium was supposedly "accidentally" spilled into one of the world's major water supplies by the A.C.O., following the failure of one of their secret projects. This chemical found its way into the drinking water of humans all over the world. Some of those who ingested the substance had their genes mutated, and shortly afterwards gained remarkable abilities for a seemingly inexplicable reason, not realizing the cause. The first ever Metahuman would be recorded sometime in 2025. From this point, the world would forever change. Many of the world's governments and powers were aware of the true cause of the Superhumans' origins, but they chose to never officially go public about it, as the revelation would have caused great public outrage and started numerous wars. Over the years, there would be naturally born Superhumans, those who were born from the first-generation Superhumans. And then other Superhumans would be born from that generation, and so on over the years.

## Biology

Superhumans are usually the exact same as normal humans in terms of appearance and physiology. They and normal humans are still in the same species, *Homo Sapien*. It could be likened to breeds of dogs: each dog breed is diverse and unique in its own way, but every breed is all still part of one species. This same analogy can be applied to the powers that a superhuman has. Every power is unique, and may change the human themself to varying degrees, but at the end of the day they are still human. As for the exact powers, there does not seem to be any correlation or pattern in regard to the superhuman themself or the powers they have. It seems entirely up to chance what powers a superhuman will have and cannot really be determined unless by direct experimentation or genetic modification, at which point the human is instead a Metahuman.

When the first-generation Superhumans were created, it seemed that only a select few who ingested the contaminated water manifested powers. This may have been because while everyone's genes mutated at least to a small degree, not every human was mutated to the extent of gaining powers. Additionally, the superhuman mutation was known to sometimes skip generations, which ended up with seemingly normal humans bearing superhuman children. There has never been any known cure for the conditions of superhumans and metahumans, and there likely may never be.
