Mutated and evolved by the Xorda's Gene Bombs, Mobians (Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog) contain a sizable portion of human DNA.

Osmosians (Ben 10) are humans with unique genetic components in their DNA, each possessing varied abilities. Notable members include Kevin Levin who possesses matter and energy absorption,...

...Gaterboy and Porcupine who possess a humanoid animal physiology,...

...Acid Breath who possess his namesake ability,...

...and Cooper Daniels who is capable of manipulating technology.

Fullbringers (Bleach) are a variant of humans who were exposed to Hollow essence in utero, thus causing them to develop supernatural abilities as they aged.

All of Earth's demon species, like vampires (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) are "half-breeds," possessing human DNA as a result of the Old Ones interbreeding with humanity prior to their banishment.

Richard B. Riddick (The Chronicles of Riddick) is a Furyan, a deviation of humanity that adapted to the harsh world of Furya.

Tycho (The Citadel) is an example of humans who have evolved after the events of the demons' purification, resulting in unisex appearances except their sexual organs.

This mutation process, referred to as Ghoulification, has demonstrated different effects depending on the subject's species and their individual circumstances. In humans, Ghoulification typically results in an extended lifespan (if not functional immortality), enhanced regeneration of wounds such that severed limbs can be reattached and maintain full function, and a natural immunity to physical damage from radiation exposure.
