"I have taken godhood to a new level. Divinity made perfect. With a body that befits a Kai, one that is invincible."
― Future Zamasu explaining about his Immortality (Dragon Ball Super)

A trait for physiology powers. This page is not a power, but instead a trait that explains the cause or source of an unnaturally gained physiology such as Superpowered Physiology.

Also Called[]

  • Advanced/Evolved/Micromutant/Micromutated/Modified/Superior Being Physiology
  • Meta/Neo/Super Being/Race Physiology

Capabilities[]

The user either became an empowered subject with powers and abilities that were not gained from birth, or which were gained at birth but were not naturally evolved in their race/species. Empowered races can possess powers and abilities without their physiology being or almost altered. This is not to be confused with Superpowered Physiology as it focuses on specific races that possess straight-up supernatural abilities in terms of what their physiology entails, like the instance of Angels, and Ghosts.

Another difference is that they may have supernatural abilities, but these were in no way have obtained them through events of any kind, as they are supernatural abilities were previously engineered into or otherwise bestowed upon the user's kin. But as for the empowered subjects, the differences are, that the subjects, while they may or may not have unnatural abilities in terms of what they possess ever since of whatever race they are a part of, one of those members have gone through experiences that caused them to obtain brand new powers that don't come with their racial physiology to begin with, supernatural or not. The user of this physiology isn't a different sub-species as they wouldn't be fully altered but are just only that from a theoretical standpoint.

Limitations[]

  • Unless they have specific immunities/resistances, users may have the same weaknesses as regular races in particular.
  • Genetic-based abilities may become unstable and cause unwanted mutations. In worse cases, they might become a monstrous mutant if they aren't treated.
  • Their bodies might take time to get use to the modifications and the effects may not take in soon, as such if they overexert themselves their bodies will break apart.
  • Their powers may be withdrawn for some time, including one to regenerate.

Universal Differences[]

In the essence of having different archetypes in their own terms, micromutation and mutation are drastically similar to each other. By definition, mutation is mainly physical transformation through scientific means, the most prominent being mutagens and viruses. Those with that kind of physiology are mainly known as Mutants, also referred to as Freaks or Deviants. They are a type of monster of various sci-fi media, and they are basically formerly normal beings that have been physically deformed and lost any trace of what they used to be.

Those that have been micro mutated however are identified on the lesser end of the spectrum, they are basically scientifically or non-scientifically micro mutated, but these types of mutations are only just considered minor without their overall physiological statures being grotesquely transformed into Deviants. Another fact to note is that micro mutated individuals, don't exactly share a lot in common with Mutants on the other hand. Micromutation is the truest step forward in gaining superpowers, whereas mutation simply almost does the exact opposite of what the latter does. Micromutation is also considered safer compared to mutation.

Trivia[]

  • By definition, the prefix Meta, simply means beyond, which also qualifies to empowered beings that they are races that are beyond the limitations of their kind, which would make them the very staple of their derivative race that they stem from.
  • Depending on the number of powers they possess, especially regarding resistance/immunity, etc., empowered beings can be much stronger and more powerful than their regular species in the long run. For example, they could survive environments that would be otherwise dangerous to regular races, they can defeat threats that normal races couldn't fight back and can even handle occupations to a much better intuitive standard, as well as acquiring better skills that normal species could never hope to reach.
