Metahuman
（重定向自Metagene）
In DC Comics' DC Universe, a metahuman is a superhuman. The term is roughly synonymous with both mutant, mutate and more recently "Enhanced" in the Marvel Universe and posthuman in the Wildstorm and Ultimate Marvel Universes. The term "Evo" from the Heroes universe is also synonymous with the term. In DC Comics, the term is used loosely in most instances to refer to any human-like being with extranormal powers and abilities, be they technological, alien, mutant, or magical in nature. A significant portion of these are normal human beings born with a genetic variant called the metagene which causes them to gain powers and abilities during freak accidents or times of intense psychological distress.
