I've been wondering the same thing.
(I mean they use "meta-human" in the tv show "Birds of Prey" -- but who took that seriously?)
- ita -- how do I "quick-edit" something in the middle of a sentence? That's what I don't get.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sumi, remember, a single line break doesn't show up as a line break onscreen, only in the posting box.

There is some Batman/Catwoman story (2 issues I think?) -- is that possibly leading up to War Games?

I believe the metahuman thing stems from the Invasion! summer crossover, wherein about 95% of the human superheroes were revealed to get their powers from the meta-gene that a certain proportion of people carry.

Oh. So do you need an accident to trigger this meta-gene sometimes? Barry Allen, meta? Once activated, the powers are hereditary? Superman, not meta because alien, right? And then there are people like John Constantine or Tim Hunter -- meta? Aquaman -- not human, but is he meta for an Atlantean? Black Lightning?
I'm so confused.
I skimmed through the Another Nail or whatever they're calling it for this week. Firestorm's white -- I'm good with that. Halo's black. Anyone know why?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why would they do something stupid like that? Isn't that the exact same idiotic Jedi thing that Lucas did?

I didn't even get that far -- I figured it was just mutancy under another name.
