Differently-Powered Individual
rdfs:comment
So, what do you call a superhero? Sure, a lot of individual heroes go by the standard coupling of noun/adjective with gender, or an alias cunningly related to their real name and/or their powers, or just something that sounds nice and somewhat appropriate. Well, you could be all politically correct and call them a Differently-Powered Individual. Or, you could call them any other universal term that's used to label superhumans... such as the ones below. Metahuman is an especially common term, based on its use in The DCU (see below). Examples of Differently-Powered Individual include:

So, what do you call a superhero? Sure, a lot of individual heroes go by the standard coupling of noun/adjective with gender, or an alias cunningly related to their real name and/or their powers, or just something that sounds nice and somewhat appropriate. But what do you call all of them? When you think about it, superhero is just a bit... well, overused. And kiddy. And explicitly positive, so it works for neither the evilly-inclined nor anyone whose morality is subtler than "Good" or "Evil". (Not to mention it's trademarked, although there is some legal dispute over that.) So, what do you call a man with Super Strength, Eye Beams, and the ability to belch plasma? Well, you could be all politically correct and call them a Differently-Powered Individual. Or, you could call them any other universal term that's used to label superhumans... such as the ones below. Metahuman is an especially common term, based on its use in The DCU (see below). See also Not Using the Z Word. For Mad Scientist types with a common origin or nature, see Science-Related Memetic Disorder. If they're treated as a minority, they might be asked "Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?"
