- Alien Physiology is not so much a super-power, as it is a reflection of a character's biological heritage, which may give them certain advantages over normal human beings, examples being the Kryptonian Superman and the Daxamites. Individuals with an alien physiology are extraterrestrial in origin, but some Earth based races, such as Atlanteans and Amazons also benefit from having a unique physiology. Physiology may also apply to some supernatural entities, such as Leprechauns, who were descended from the Maltusians, the race the Oans are also derived. Beings like Arisia do not have any particularly extraordinary abilities regularly, though when she was apparently killed, her physiology allowed her to place herself into a state of hibernation, thus surviving. Other beings such as the Oans or the Zamarons, are capable because of their physiology to manipulate cosmic forces, giving them god-like status.
- Although some of the abilities held by such races may be natural to their entire species, they are still alien to humans and are therefore termed "superhuman" or "super" abilities. Prime examples of this category lie with the Legion of Super-Heroes. Although many members may appear completely identical to humans, their bodies can activate powerful and varied abilities, or function in ways that are unequivocally inhuman. It should be noted however, that although every alien being has physiology that is different than that of an Earthling, this doesn't always make them superior to Earthlings. For example, the character known as Snitch is an alien, but his race is of a small stature compared to humans, so he would be considered far weaker, on the other hand, this could also make him harder to catch, as he could hide in small places a human would not be able to access due to their larger size. Another example is the Balunians. Although they possess abilities that humans do not, they are also far more fragile than humans, due to their balloon-like bodies, which make them especially vulnerable to sharp objects. A small prick on the finger could be enough to kill them, as all of the air in their bodies would be released.
