I never understood why they have them touch their amulets as if its some magic button to activate the magic. Just wearing it should be enough.
I know "Metahuman" is a very general term but at begining of the show when they were called out at Metahumans..

[FONT="]The terms "meta" and "metahuman" do not only refer to humans born with biological variants. Superman and Martian Manhunter (aliens) as well as Wonder Woman (a near-goddess) and Aquaman (an Atlantean) are referred to in many instances as "metahumans." It can refer to anyone with extranormal powers, no matter the origins and including those not born with such power. There are roughly 1.3 million metahumans on Earth, 99.5% of which are considered "nuisance-level" (such as kids who can bend spoons with their mind and the old lady "who keeps hitting at Powerball").[1] The other 0.5% are what Checkmate and the O.M.A.C.s consider Alpha- and Beta-level threats. For example, Superman and Wonder Woman were categorized as Alpha-level, while Metamorpho was considered a Beta.[/FONT]
Homo Magi
Main article: Homo MagiSome humans have inherent ability to utilize magic, and these humans are part of a branch, or offshoot, of humanity referred to as the "Homo Magi", who have interbred with normal humans. As with aliens and mutants with superhuman powers, Homo Magi are also often classed together as Metas by the general public.

Meta refers to subjects that are beyond modern standards of reality. Such an example can be found in the term "Metahuman"; a term used to describe any being on planet Earth with abilities beyond human limits.
Following the release of the Exobytes by Future Lex Luthor, Superman took on the role of mentoring the new Meta-based heroes while Lex Luthor took to mentoring the new Meta-based villains.
The terms "Meta Science" and "Meta Technology" are used in a similar way to "Metahuman" to refer to sciences and technology "beyond Earth-based standards"; usually the terms are used to refer to any Extraterrestrial/Extradimensional technology or Earth-based technology that exceeds what is considered "standard" to a considerable degree.
Metagene
During their attempted invasion of Earth, the Dominators discovered that some humans had a "biological variant" they called the "Metagene". Scientifically defined as the genetic source of an Earth-born metahuman's "super abilities", this gene often lies dormant within an individual until a moment of extraordinary physiological stress activated it, and upon activation it would use the source of the biostress as a catalyst for "genetic change," resulting in metahuman abilities. However, examples have also arisen where individuals are born with their metagene already active or their metagene suddenly becomes active later in life with no apparent instigation.
It is possible for individuals skilled in science and biology to manipulate, dampen or modify the activities of the metagene: while the Dominators were able to devise a "Gene Bomb" able to accelerate the metagene activity to the point of cellular and physical instabilities, Earth scientists have been able to create devices that can also repress the metagene; enabling a metahuman to be incarcerated in a prison facility.
The origin of the metagene can be traced back to the alien overlord Lord Vimana of the Vimanian alien race who, over 3 million years ago, in an effort to create a race of super powered slaves for their empire, forced their worker drones to mate with humanity's ancestors Australopithecus afarensis (3 million years ago), and later Homo erectus (1.5 million years ago). While it is unknown what became of the Vimanians, the genetic potential of the metagene was discovered in Homo sapiens (500,000 - 250,000 years ago) by the White Martian race. The White Martians performed experiments on these primitive humans and changed how the metahuman phenotype was expressed by the metageneTrivia
- "Metahuman" is a term used to describe superhumans in the DC Universe and is roughly synonymous with the way the term "Mutant" is used in the Marvel Universe and "Posthuman" in the Wildstorm and Ultimate Marvel Universes.
- Use of the term "Metahuman" in reference to superheroes was coined in 1986 by author George R. R. Martin, first in the Superworld role playing system, and then later in his Wild Cards series of novels.
- The Dominators speculate that the location of the Metagene is somewhere near the brain.
- There are roughly 1.3 million metahumans on Earth, 99.5% of which are considered "nuisance-level" (such as kids who can bend spoons with their mind and the old lady "who keeps hitting at Powerball"). The other 0.5% are what Checkmate and the OMACs consider alpha, beta and gamma level threats. For example, Superman and Wonder Woman were categorized as alpha level, while Metamorpho was considered a beta level and Ratcatcher was considered a gamma level.
- The People's Republic of China Metahuman Program focuses on the highly controversial and illegal usage of Durlan alien technology. Resulting "Super Functionaries" of the program include August Captain in Iron, Socialist Red Guardsman, Shaolin Robot and Immortal Man in Darkness.

Metahuman was a term used by Static to describe himself, when he felt that mutant or "Bang Baby" were too derogatory.[1]
It would later be adapted by those in the government, such as General Hardcastle, to refer to all regular-born humans who had their genome mutated to give them extraordinary powers.[2]
It was used by the general public to refer to all those who had superpowers.[3]

yes both my youngest sister and that watch both this show and the flashI just can not get behind a moron with a Fire gun is a "Meta Human" what if someone else picks it up, guess they are a metahuman now and Mick is not.
Sarah who is just trained to fight would mean anyone trained to fight is a metahuman, guess that female agent is a metahuman as she fights as well if not better.
Ray I gueess could be classified as he actually has an entire suit.
BTW has he gotten.. I wont say dumber as he is still smart.. how about less wise.. year after year.. In Arrow he was no where near this goofy and naive, how he manages to not die is surprising. And I mean from his own team not killing him.
