Metahumans (Earth-Prime)

"I have run into quite a few metas around the world. Turns out there's folks all over the place with latent meta genes. All it takes is the right set of circumstances for their powers to manifest."

- Sue Dearbon

Metahumans, also known as Mutants, are humans who gained unnatural and enhanced abilities, often known as superpowers.

World War II
During the World War II, the US government executed experiments on African-American soldiers who disobeyed the rules, giving them a choice of going to court-martial or undergo the experiments. However, countless individuals died in the experiments with Tyson Sykes gaining exceptional abilities and the first Metahuman in history.

Mirakuru
In 2014, Slade Wilson used the Mirakuru drug on his own army, using their enhanced physiology as a method to invade Starling City.

Particle Accelerator Explosion
On December 11, 2013, "Harrison Wells" created the particle accelerators and sabotaged his own invention, speeding up the creation of The Flash and causing Metahumans in Central City.

Enlightenment
In 2018, The Thinker executed the Enlightenment and used his satellites to brainwash Humans. Team Flash later thwarted the plan and caused a satellite to fall to the city. The Flash soon destroyed the projectile and created the Dark Matter-infused pieces to injure dozens of people.

Green Light Babies
As of 2018, the ASA took over Freeland and captured countless users of the Green Light drug, who later developed Metahuman abilities and placed in a pod. However, Black Lightning's team was able to free the kids from ASA custody and disbanded the organization.
