The New Humans.An original web serial story by The Wizard of Woah, starting in 2016.Allison Kinsey is an eight-year-old girl incarcerated at the McClare Demi-Human Containment Center for study of her power, copying the skills of others by listening to their "song." If the researchers had any idea what she could really do, it's unlikely they would have ever put her there. Fortunately, she is taken from that place to the New Humans Institute, a school for superhuman children like her.

Differently Powered Individuals: The official term is "demi-humans". Dr Lawrence finds it insulting and prefers "new humans" or "posthumans". "Supers" and "demis" are common shorthand slang.
