Transhuman: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Every superhero who was once a normal human. Inherently superhuman races do not count, unless they enhance themselves even further.

** It's notable that only a small percentage of them gained their powers deliberately; usually it was a [[Freak Lab Accident|Freak Accident.]] This is arguably a necessary component of a superhero universe; if super-powers were easily reproducible, then the heroes themselves would stop being special.

* [[The Incredible Hulk|Hulk]] villain the Leader seems preoccupied with creating more Gamma-powered mutates like himself.

* The short-lived [[DC Comics]] series ''The New Guardians'' (unrelated to the current ''[[Green Lantern]]'' spinoff) involved a [[Xanatos Roulette]] by the [[Green Lantern|Guardians of the Universe]] to turn humanity into a race of transhumans. Unfortunately, the series' execution was... somewhat lacking, and it's been forgotten, with reason. The method for spreading super-genes through the population was to, well, [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex|have sex with as many people as possible;]] by picking people up in singles bars; despite one member of the team being an apparently sterile cyborg and another being gay. Oh, and they were all wince-inducing [[Ethnic Scrappy|Ethnic Scrappies,]] to boot.

* The [[Marvel Comics|Inhumans, Eternals, and Deviants]] are humans genetically modified by aliens.
