A "metahuman" refers to a fictional character with abilities beyond those of ordinary humans. This term is commonly used in comic books and movies, particularly in the DC Comics universe, where metahumans possess superpowers such as super strength, telepathy, or the ability to manipulate elements. They often play significant roles in superhero narratives, facing challenges and villains. Metahumans can be seen as a blend of science fiction and fantasy, exploring themes of identity, power, and morality. The concept has gained popularity in various media, including television series like The Flash and Arrow, where characters navigate their extraordinary abilities while dealing with everyday life.
