Metahumans

**Metahumans**, or in some universes, known as **"Quirk-Users"**, **"Supers"**, or **"Enhanced Individuals"**, and derogatively known as **"Mutes"**, are a race of Humanoids that have the X-Gene triggered in their bodies. They are known to have superpower, which are much simpler versions of Stand Abilities.

## Description

Metahumans, also known as their informal term "Quirk-Users," are a subspecies of Hominids that naturally evolved from Humans, and it is revealed that they are currently existing as a Dominant Gene in the Homo Sapien species. They are known as Homo Superior Sapien. It is stated that Metahumans will be replacing Humans in the next one thousand years along with Wesen and Seers. They are a race of Hominids who have the ability to develop and use superpowers called Quirks. When Metahumans gain Quirks, they gain an extra joint on their pinky toes.

Meanwhile, when an organism is exposed to Mutagen, the organism will not be a Stand-User nor gain a Stand. Instead, the organism will gain a quirk. Quirks give the person an adaptive ability for a situation rather than an ability that is a representation of their personality. Quirks are usually found on the western side of Earth and the Middle East: Where they originated from. Quirks are named after words or phrases from the English Dictionary, and in some cases, foreign words. All Quirks do not have a physical form, unlike Stands, which are a representation of one's personality. (Oh...! Oh, I get it now!) (SHUSH!!!)(Sorry...)

There are precautions for gaining a Quirk, since having a nigh completely dormant gene could possibly mean that you could very well die. However, an ability for a Quirk will depend on that person's environment, not their personality. Quirks are essentially easier to get than Stand-Users, which explains why according to JBA: BoG, Stand-Users are apparently much rarer than Quirk-Users. Stand-Users are also more connected with Hamon, Spin, Chi, and Ki, while Quirk-Users aren't.

Metas can also become Stand-Users, though, these cases are very rare since most of them do not survive very long due to their Stands overwhelming them. Such is the case of Stefan Rivers, the first stable Stand-Using MetaFortisite who was able to use both a Stand that allows him to have infinite durability and his Quirk that allows him to unlock his Y-Gene.

Metas' powers are fairly much more simpler than those of Stand-Users. This is because a Meta is made to adapt to a certain environment, which isn't as complex as a person's entire soul and personality. Since Stands are a manifestation of the soul and one's personality, Stands can be literally anything, whether it be a normal ability, a bizarre ability, or a spirit in the form of an object or organism emerging from the body. Each Stand-User also has a set of abilities that represents the User's personality. For example, The Reaper is misanthropic. Therefore, his Stand represents his need to be isolated, thus, he can stop time. Another is Strength and Sticky Finers, two Stands that represent Killer Krusader's natural leadership and her optimistic fun-loving attitude which allows her to slip out of sticky situations. Her Stands represent her ability to connect with people and open doors of possibilities for the people around her. Meanwhile, Quirks like "Super" of Kal-El is an effect of his environment, a mutation that gives him abilities like a Superman, though, Clark is technically a Kryptonian, making him a Metakryptonian. Another is Peter Parker, who gained the Quirk, "Spider", which he gained after getting bitten by a Radioactive Spider carrying Mutagen.

## Subspecies

There are three classes of Metahumans. These are the Mutants, Mutates, and Inhumans.

It is said only sentient organisms have the X-Gene, a hidden gene in the body that allows the sentient creature to gain Quirks, abilities linked to the sentient soul, but there are, in fact, non-sentient creatures able to gain Quirks, thus becoming "Evolved". The X-Gene is usually dormant in any creature. There are three types of Metas.

### Mutants

-Mutants are the first type of Meta and are the original ancestors of the Inhumans. They are Sentient Organisms that naturally developed Quirks through stress and trauma. They naturally gain powers. Metas who are born with their abilities, but are dormant. The first being Apocalypse, or En Sabah Nur, from 8,000 B.C. who was the all-father of all Metahumans that had the ability to copy Quirks. Mutants found outside their secret kingdom descended from a powerful ancient city known as Attilan. Mutants are known as Homo Superior Mutatio Sapien.

### Inhumans

-Inhumans are the second type of Meta who are just developed versions of the Mutants. They are Sentient Organisms who develop their Quirks immediately after birth and are thought to be because of the species' exposure to the Terrigen Mists, but likely, that is just a myth. In some cases, the Mother can wield the Child's Quirk during birth. The Inhumans are simply born with the mutation and have powers since birth. They became a race of highly advanced people known as the Inhumans, currently led by King Blackagar Boltagon. Inhumans currently rule Attilan along with Mutants. Inhumans are known as Inhomo Superior Sapien.

### Mutates

-Mutates are the third type of Meta. Unlike Mutants and Inhumans, they are not recognized or welcomed in Attilan. They are Sentient Organisms that develop their Quirks via Chemical X, which can be found in Mutagen. The substance is called Mutagen, a radioactive material that either unleashes the X-Gene or kills the person. There is a 50/50 chance for the Sentient Creature to gain the Quirk this way. Metas who carry the Mutant Gene that can be triggered via chemical reactions or physical trauma. Mutates are known as Homo Superior Artificialis Sapien.

## Subtypes

### Cheyarafim

Angel-like Metahumans.Cheyafarim are the descendants of ancient Nephilim from long before, such as Goliath for an example. The Cheyafarim would later lose the angel gene which would later reemerge via the X-Gene many years later and would grow angel-like ability, such as wings or the ability to control the universe.

### Radars

Metahumans with enhanced senses. Radars are incredibly dangerous and gain their abilities via the triggering of Mutagen, a hormone in their body, from radioactive material.Radars are usually Mutates.

### Visionary

Metahumans with super vision. The vision abilities can vary, including Heat Vision, X-Ray Vision, Microscopic Vision, Telescopic Vision, or a combination of all. These

Metahumans are closely related to the Radars. Visionaries are usually Mutants.

### Dominant Species

Animal-like Metahumans. The Dominant Species are not like Wesen and are thought to be as such because they can woge, with the only difference that when unwoged, they still have body parts that remain animal-like. There are Dominant Species falsely called as Werewolves, but are actually a the Dominant Species. These "Werewolves by Night" are yet another Dominant Species able to woge but are not really Mutants. There are others who can woge as well, such as the Beast Types. There are also Dominant Species called Clawfingers, who have retractable claws either from the fingers, the knuckles, or between and many can regenerate. Clawfingers are able to live for around 250 years. These creatures are closely related to Hulks, Ragdolls, and Super Soldiers.

### Externals

Immortal Metahumans. These Metahumans have the ability to resurrect themselves even after death.

### Insectus

Arthropod-like Metahumans. These Metahumans have the ability to wall-crawl and sometimes even have insect like abilities, such as shoot webs from certain body parts and some can shoot stingers. Yet others have insect-like wings and others yet can shrink.

### Ragdolls

Metahumans with near-instant regeneration. Immortal. They have Regeneration Level Four and possibly Beyond.

### Super Soldiers

Metahumans that are just Humans with enhanced physiologies. They are around the same strength as Grimms and can rival them, but are usually slightly stronger but have a lesser potent instinct to hunt and kill. They have Regeneration Level One.

### Hulks

Very powerful and deformed Super Soldiers with strangely-colored skin. They have Regeneration Level One.

### Supermen

Metahumans who have extremely enhanced physiologies. They are similar to Superman. They have the powers of a visionary and a radar and have powerful cooling breath while also being incredibly strong. However, most Supermen do not have most of these abilities.

### Manipulators

Metahumans who can manipulate the world and its elements around them.

### Warpers

Metahumans that carry the Wizard gene and can change how the world works.

### Constructors

Metahumans who can create psychic constructs and wield them as weapons.

### Speedsters

Metahumans who have Speed Force Connection.

### Psychics

Very powerful Metahumans who can control the world with their minds.

### Shapeshifters

The most powerful Metas who can transform into anyone, or possibly, anything.

### Omegas

Very powerful Metahumans who can have energy-levels AKA potentionals that can harm the universe.

## The X-Gene

The X-Gene is a mysterious X-Shaped gene in the DNA in each organism that is triggered in any organism's body that allows them to evolve. The X-Gene was first discovered by a mysterious alien scientist and its information was sold to the Kree who proceeded to create the race.

## Trivia

* Metahumans are mostly touched upon in the Secret Crisis parts and the School with Deadpool series, being the majority of the protagonistic and the antagonistic force of the respective series.
