Mutant

Mutants are people who posses a mutant gene that allows them to develop superhuman powers, traits, and abilities. These powers range from energy to magic based. Any such attributes are not always controlled by the mutant in question, as some cannot control their powers properly or at all.

The mutant gene usually manifests at puberty, often at times of great stress, while some mutants, like Jared Anderson, could develop it either beforehand or afterwards. Since the discovery of these mutants, several academies have been created to train children into using their powers for good.
