Differently Powered Individual	comment	So, what do you call a superhero? Sure, a lot of individual heroes go by the standard coupling of noun/adjective with gender, or an alias cunningly related to their real name and/or their powers, or just something that sounds nice and somewhat appropriate. But what do you call all of them? When you think about it, superhero is just a bit... well, overused. And explicitly positive, so it works for neither the evilly-inclined nor anyone whose morality is subtler than "Good" or "Evil". (Not to mention it's trademarked, although there is some legal dispute over that.) So, what do you call a man with Super-Strength, Eye Beams, and the ability to belch plasma? Well, you could be all politically correct and call them a Differently Powered Individual. Or, you could call them any other universal term that's used to label superhumansâ€¦ such as the ones below. Metahuman is an especially common term, based on its use in The DCU (see below). On the opposite side, with politically incorrect terms, you've got Fantastic Slurs. See also Not Using the "Z" Word. For Mad Scientist types with a common origin or nature, see Science-Related Memetic Disorder. If they're treated as a minority, they might be asked "Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?". For another meaning of Differently Powered Individuals, see One Person, One Power. Compare Magic by Any Other Name.

The gene that marks a human as a Conduit allows one to channel, or be a conduit for, Ray Field Energy and gain superpowers through exposure to it. The Good ending of the second game has Cole destroy all conduits (including himself) in order to save the Muggles of the world while the Evil ending has the reverse happening... At least until In Famous Second Son, which reveals that Conduits survived and are now treated as "Bio-Terrorists" by the Department of Unified Protection.

Differently Powered Individual / int_1367cea0	comment	In Worm, people with powers in general are known as "parahumans," meaning they're considered next to humans, whereas those who put on a costume and try to become a villain or hero are referred to as "capes." Parahumans who use their power exclusively for business or personal reasons, or choose not to use them at all (e.g., Parian, who takes paying jobs animating cloth mascots as promotional stunts) are referred to as "rogues." The term originated when it was assumed that the majority of parahumans would be heroes, thus the negative connotation, but as the total number of parahumans has increased, governments are generally encouraging more parahumans to become rogues and live more-or-less normal lives. In fact, using one's powers for profit is perfectly legal, and rogues who choose to register themselves may even be provided government assistance in a few different ways. There are also a number of classifications like "Mover" or "Blaster", usually followed by a number ranging from roughly 1-10 (there's technically no upper limit, with more powerful abilities being above 10), which are used as a shorthand to explain roughly what type of power a person has and how powerful it is. For example, someone who can fly might be a Mover 3, whereas a teleportation ability might be a Mover 5 or more, depending on its restrictions. Considering the enormous range of powers that exist in the setting, many parahumans will have ratings in two or more categories, as well as those that don't really fit neatly in any category.

The term nÅ�ryokusha is commonly translated in the fandom as "Esper"note Though this is technically incorrect for many of the characters as it implies the acquisition of ESP, and proved to be so popular that Seven Seas Entertainment eventually switched their official translations from the original "Psychic" to "Esper" after lobbying by fans.

Word of God states this is because the show can't use the word "Mutant" due to Fox having the rights to the X-Men Film Series. "Enhanced" and "powered people" also get thrown around in the second season, with Simmons actually complaining at one point that categorizing them under a blanket term isn't working because it doesn't differentiate between genetically intrinsic gifts and those gained through outside sources such as experimentation. The issue is further clouded by The Inhumans, who have a genetically intrinsic gift that must be activated by an outside source.

The powered beings of the Adventure! game (set decades earlier, when a lesser version of the Aberrant Meta Origin kick-starts a Golden Age) are "stalwarts" or "daredevils". (Daredevils are either Badass Normals or characters with "luck" powers, depending on which sourcebook you read).

Differently Powered Individual / int_42ffb88e	comment	There aren't a whole lot of superheroes in the SCP Foundation, but Dr. Clef runs through the gamut of those who can shape reality: Anomaly and Anomalous are used to describe the category of SCP objects in general and is the only official term used to describe the objects in general. As such, human (or human-like) SCPs are described as anomalous. Likewise, individuals affected by an SCP to have unusual properties are described as, simply, 'affected' or 'anomalous', with anomalous being used when the effect seems to be long-term and stable, in which case the individual will receive a number designation based on what affected them, or in rare cases, a new SCP. The Global Occult Coalition, which is one of the SCP Foundation's rival organizations, classifies anomalous humanoids with color codes. For example, a Type Green is a Reality Warper, Type Blue is a Thaumatologist, and Type Black is a Demi-Deity. More code words are listed on this page. Another word used in the Foundationverse is Anartist, a portmanteau of anomalous and artist. They are people who create Anomalous Art. Anartists may possibly be Type Greens or Type Blues.

Differently Powered Individual / int_4522fd1	comment	In the Whateley Universe, most of them are "mutants", unless they're being called names by someone who doesn't like them: "Gene filth", "gene deviant", and so on. There are also various other types of 'Empowered' who are not mutants: these range from "Imbued" (empowered by a supernatural being, similar to Shazam! or Moon Knight), "Dynahosts" (an external spirit being called a 'dynamorph' bonding with you), "Augmented" (someone put through a Super-Soldier process or similar empowering procedure), "Espers" (non-mutant psychics), "Exaltations" (empowerment through another super's powers, usually temporarily), "Schimmlehorn Scientists" (Mad Scientists who have The Spark of Genius which warps reality to fit their theories), or "Origins" (Pretty much anything else, with the causal event sometimes called a "Batson Factor" when no one understands how it happened). There are also "mages" who are skilled in the use of magic but not because of a mutation, and also various supernatural entities such as Faerie (who may be mutants whose power is 'turn into a Fae', or else ancient hold-overs of the bygone 'Five-Fold Court' that ruled Atlantis), spirits, gods (of various flavors, including Olympian, Egyptian, Japanese, and Lovecraftian), and werewolves. All of that is before even getting into the elaborate jargon which experts use to categorize them by power (especially the mutants, thanks mostly to Whateley Academy itself) or power source, with terms such as 'Warper', 'PK Brick', 'Manifestor', 'Energizer', and 'Avatar' getting bandied about. They all still get lumped together as 'superheroes' and 'supervillains' by most people, though.

Differently Powered Individual / int_4ba53320	comment	Superman/Batman: The artificially-created world of The Maximums uses the term "super-soldier", in contrast to the main DC universe's "meta-human". One can infer that this is in reference to the way most of the Ultimate Marvel universe's heroes resulted from attempts to create super-soldiers, so this Bland-Name Product version uses that term for all superheroes.

Differently Powered Individual / int_62570927	comment	The Marvel Universe takes care to distinguish between "Mutants" (people who develop superpowers through an inherited trait) and "Mutates" (people who gain powers due to exposure of foreign elements), mainly because of the Fantastic Racism against the former (the pejorative term "Mutie" is quite popular among anti-mutant bigots). note It should be noted that this distinction only really exists among fans and writers. In-Universe, the term Mutate is never actually used to distinguish superpowered beings, and it's never really explained how the general populace of the Marvel Universe are able to tell the difference between someone with powers who is a Mutant, and someone with powers who is not a Mutant. A good example would be to compare the Mutant, Pyro, who can control fire and the Fantastic Four member, The Human Torch, who can also control fire, but is not a Mutant. Ironically, many superhumans are still mistaken for Mutants, with Spider-Man at the top of the list. This actually is a minor plot point in the event House of M, where Spidey is a popular entertainer in an Alternate Universe where Mutants are the majority of the population, because he lied and claimed that he is also a mutant, even though his non-mutant origin is still the same. Mutants can further be broken down into Alpha, Beta, and Omega, in reference to how well they can control their power: Alphas are able to turn theirs on or off at will, like Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, or Colossus; while Betas' powers are always active, like Logan, Cyclops, or Rogue. Omegas are rare (by which we mean 90% of the main cast are listed as such at one point or another) and are basically some of the most powerful beings in the universe — the prime example of an Omega is Jean/Phoenix. There are also lower Gamma/Delta levels for mutants who just got screwed, like the one whose sole power was a ten-foot neck, and those who didn't get (or lost) the Required Secondary Powers they needed. As of House of X, "Omega-level mutant" has been further refined to mean that the mutant has no upper limit in their specific power, and that very few forces in the universe can best them at it. Iceman is omega-level in temperature manipulation, Storm is omega-level in weather manipulation, Magneto is omega-level in magnetism, Jean Grey is omega-level in telepathy, and so forth. Lampshaded in Peter David's X-Factor run. Strong Guy gets angry at the media's use of "mutant" as a pejorative buzzword, and says they prefer being called "Genetically Challenged, or GeeCees for short." He later tells Havok he did it to divert the reporters' attention, but much to Havok's dismay, the term stuck (at least, during David's run on the book). Ultimate Marvel uses "posthuman". In The New Universe, "paranormals" is the common term for those altered by a Mass Empowering Event. "Costume" is sometimes used as a noun to refer to people who dress up in spandex and fight or cause crime, regardless of whether they have powers or not. "Cape" is a similar term in the DCU, and the DCAU gives us the great line, "Uh-oh. Long-johns at 10 o'clock!" "Cape" is occasionally used in the MU as well, despite the rarity of Marvel superheroes actually wearing capes. One notable instance in World War Hulk has a soldier reporting into General Thunderbolt Ross that the Hulk is "mixing it up with the last of the Capes", while the Hulk is fighting a team of heroes that don't wear a single cape between them. In the New Excalibur series, Pete Wisdom would similarly disparage superhero-types by referring to them "skin-tights". In early issues of Daredevil, the title character is referred to as a "costumed adventurer". Of course, the public did not know of Daredevil's blindness, and thus his metahuman senses, so they had no reason not to presume him a "costumed hero" (term used by Max Allan Collins in Amazing Heroes #119) similar to the early Night Raven, the pulp Shadow (who could not "cloud men's minds"), the Spider, the Green Hornet, the Phantom (of Phantom Detective Magazine), etc. Marvels coins "the Marvels", which stuck for a while. Marvel 1602 refers to the Elizabethan area as the age of Marvels. Runaways once featured an arc where they ended up in 1907, while there they ran across multiple gangs of super-powered teenagers called "wonders". While some of these kids were obviously using magical or mechanically-based powers, a good number were undoubtedly mutants or mutates. Those who get powers through Gamma radiation are called "Gamma mutates". Marvel also has The Inhumans, who are like Mutants except their powers come from intentional exposure to a substance known as "Terrigen Mist".

Justified in that it isn't pure brainpower that lets them perform incredible feats, and several in-universe sources hint that the name was deliberately chosen to keep people from misunderstanding what biotics are capable of (e.g. no mindreading). The Asari complicate matters, as they are all biotics and they do appear able to read minds. This is related to their method of reproduction (synching their nervous system with that of another person), however, and not biotic at all. Further complicated by Protheans, who were capable of scanning someone with a touch and transferring memories the same way. This is why their beacons are psychic. They just didn't realize that this ability wouldn't manifest in the next cycle.

The terms are different in the Japanese version; both the powers and the people are called "Seventh". In the Japanese version of Luminous Avenger iX, the powers are called "Septima", but the people are called "Septima Holders". iX series also features an inversion - non-Adepts are called "Minos", since Adepts are the new norm, and non-powered people are a minority now.

Those born with an organic wireless Brain/Computer Interface with the Old World internet amongst other powers Note Telepathy with others of their kind, and an Inverted Trope version of TheEmpath abilities (broadcasting feelings into others) are Old World Domain Connectors.

Dolls, who have little personal volition and whose powers usually focus on ESP through a chosen medium.

However, not every superpowered individual becomes a superhero, with most of them living ordinary lives. The remaining 20% of the population who have no powers are referred to as being Quirkless. An interesting fact revealed in the Meta Liberation Arc is that Quirks originally had a different name. In the past when superpowers first appeared, they were called Meta Abilities. The name, Quirk, wasn't used until much later in history when society began to more openly accept superpowers as the percentage of people with powers started to outnumber the people without powers. The Meta Liberation Army, a longtime group of villains attempting to overthrow the government, are the only ones who still refer to them as Meta Abilities.

The DCAU seems to use "metahuman" and "superhero" interchangeably. "Metahuman" is also sometimes used as a DC-equivalent of "mutant"; Some people are just born with an active metagene. The "Powers passed to kids" part is an example of Lamarck Was Right, which is sorta-kinda-Truth in Television, in the form of epigenetics. Before DC's properties were merged into a shared universe Wonder Woman (1942) called humans with powers like Hypnota and Gail Young new humans. PS238 also uses the term "metahuman."

They also use "abhumans" for stable human subspecies (like Ratlings and Ogryns). Many in the Imperium simply consider them "mutants" out of prejudice. For actual "mutants", most have bodies that are twisted and deviant from the normal humans, most times from circumstances of birth (such as being gestated and born into a heavily polluted area or a poor genetic legacy). Then there are people who become worshipers of Chaos whose bodies twist and change through exposure to Chaotic energies. (These people would more accurately be called "mutates", but the devs missed that one.) Chaos worshipers' twisted bodies are heritable, giving rise to the former kind of mutant, but the progeny will likely be both. The first kind of mutant will often become both, since the Imperium will either kill them on sight or tolerate them as second class citizens, and only just.

In British English, they're called "powers", hence the UK's Government Agency of Fiction being the Ministry of Powers.

Awakened people who can copy other people's spells (and may or may not be able to gain their own) are wizards, while wizards who have an inherent understanding of magic are seers. Uryuom hybrids are called "seyunolu", which is the uryuom word for chimera. That's further split into both lesser and greater seyunolu depending on whether they actually have uryuom DNA.

Empowered people are referred to by those in the know in terms of standard deviations ("sigma") above the mean, and super-powereds are generally referred to in this way, with a moderately superpowered individual referred to as a "2-sigma" for example.

Differently Powered Individual / int_c399cd39	comment	From Eclipse Phase, in the wide, weird world(s) of transhumanity, one of the few things that simply refuses to be explained is the Exsurgent virus that came about during The Fall, one of the strangest, most horrible, and most unpredictable weapons created by the Titans. It's so virulent that it can change from computer virus, to biological plague, to nanobot plague, to a sensory stimulus that can subvert the human mind. For a few biological and nanobot strains, they can mutate people into horrible alien creatures; or if you're "lucky," you'll get infected by the Watts-Macleod strain, which turns you into a psychic "async" (named for their asyncronous brainwaves). While the good news is psychic powers, the bad news is that they often suffer mental disease and psychological conditions, psychopathy and feeling a "tremendous presence" being some of the most common. It's not known how asyncs work, but it's thought that their brain is turned into a new kind of wetware device that runs on Sufficiently Advanced Technology.

Mistings and Mistborn collectively are known as Allomancers. There are also Feruchemists, who can use all Feruchemical powers. The sequel series Wax and Wayne adds Ferrings (one Feruchemical power), Twinborn (one Allomantic and one Feruchemical power), and Compounders (a Twinborn whose Allomantic and Feruchemical powers use the same metal). Metalborn is the blanket term for all of the above, although the powers have gotten weaker across generations, such that full powered Mistborn and Feruchemists are extremely rare to the point of being basically nonexistent.

Differently Powered Individual / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has most of its superhumans keep a low profile, even the powerful ones - as Harry notes in chapter 56 of the sequel, the Avengers are very definitely the exception, rather than the rule. However, among those who do know about them, they're broken down as follows: 'Magicals' or 'Practitioners' are broad terms for magic users, with those two being broken down into 'Wanded' and 'Wandless'. The latter distinction is more important than it initially seems: 'Wanded' wizards only live for about a century and a half, max, and need their wands to do anything substantive. 'Wandless' wizards have lifespans that vary based on power-level, with weaker ones living about as long as normal. Powerful ones, White Council members, live for at least three centuries, if not four or five, and don't need wands - but they have to develop their own spells, figure out their own unique gifts, and they're Walking Tech Bane. It's compared to being right or left-handed - you're born with it, but with time and training, you can bridge the gap. Both live in communities, though the Wandless tend to be much, much looser than the Wanded (who have actual governments. The Wandless have the White Council, and that's it). 'Mutants' are, well, mutants, and sub-divided into the Gamma, Delta, Beta, Alpha, Omega sub-classes based on power by SHIELD (as are all superhumans, it's just most prominent with mutants) - specifically, the kind of area they can affect. There's a degree of sub-division within each class, too - Charles Xavier and Storm are right at the top of Alpha Class (functionally defined as 'not Omega, but so close it hardly makes any difference'), while Cyclops is nearer the bottom of the same. Omega Class (examples including Magneto, Jean, Bobby Drake, and Harry), on the other hand, is pretty much anywhere from 'Continental' to 'Universal', with it being noted In-Universe that the scale was designed before humanity really started encountering potential planet-busters, let alone those higher up the scale, and consequently was adjusted on the fly. 'Enhanced' are classed under the same power-scale as Mutants, and vary from Super Soldiers like Captain America, to the likes of the Green Lantern. Essentially, they get powers from the outside, whether it's via a serum, or an artefact.

They were originally called exotics. Deuces got a lame or useless superpower like changing the shape of their tattoo (Ink) or the ability to smell wild cards (Digger Downs). A character with the ability to set his hands on fire (but without the Required Secondary Power of a fireproof body) and an extremely high bodily temperature claims to be little better than a joker, forced to always have his AC on and sleep in asbestos sheet to prevent accidents. Jokers got their appearance mutated by the infection, ranging very minor to full-on Body Horror. However some jokers also got some powers out of the deal and are sometimes referred to as joker-aces. In fact Peregrine, a Winged Humanoid, is considered as an ace by the public, but as a joker by medical science (and herself). The distinction between ace and joker-ace tends to be fuzzy and seems to largely come down to how conventionally attractive an individual is.
