Capabilities
Users are human beings that have developed powers and abilities from a variety of causes, such as evolution, genetic experiments, having powers bestowed upon them by other beings or sources, through birth, etc.
Also, thanks to the human side of their heritage (if the powers are genetically-based), the user is able to use these abilities without becoming a monster (i.e. keeping their human physique, sanity, and humanity without it being altered from possible instability).
Depending on the amount of powers they possess, especially regarding resistance/immunity, etc, Metahumans can be much stronger and more powerful than regular Humans in the long run. For example, they could survive environments that would be otherwise dangerous to normal Humans, they can defeat threats that regular to peak Humans couldn't fight back, and can even handle occupations to a much better intuitive standard, as well as acquiring better skills that normal to peak Humans could never hope to reach.
