TL;DR: Joker is a metahuman with the power to change probability, but his power is subconscious and only works when the odds are way out of his favor. Consider how many times Joker has been in situations in which he should clearly be in over his head.
Yep, Batman is now considered a metahuman by the federal government in DC proper. Now, this isn't the first time he's been categorized as such, but it is the most recent. Even if not, he is now still considered a metahuman, and odds are that will start showing up more and more in DC's upcoming Metal event.
No. Like Deathstroke her inhuman traits don't come from a metagene, therfore she technically is a metahuman.
In DC Comics' DC Universe, a metahuman is a human with superpowers. The term is roughly synonymous with both mutant and mutate in the Marvel Universe and posthuman in the Wildstorm and Ultimate Marvel Universes.
No not usually cause it's not a genetic thing. They're just people with rings. Alexander Luthor of Earth , who has the powers of Mazahs, tried to steal Sinestro's powers during Forever Evil, but was unable to because he gets them from his ring. DC uses meta-human as a blanket term.
Aquaman is a mutant in this regard; like Namor in Marvel, due to his dual heritage he is able to do things others of his kind cannot, on land or under the sea. He is extremely strong.
There are even toy-based versions of superheroes, resulting in a perfect storm of merchandising. But while these fictional heroes seem unbelievable, there are actually real superpowers among everyday human beings. These powers are rare, but they can be exploited for their incredible abilities.
Medical Definition of MetageneMetagene: A pattern of gene expression. Not an actual gene. "We identified aggregate patterns of gene expression (metagenes) that associate with lymph node status and recurrence, and that are capable of predicting outcomes in individual patients with about 90% accuracy."

IIRC according to some canons, Savage is immortal, full stop. He cannot die by any means, ever. There's an episode of Justice League where Superman is sent tens of thousands of years into the future. However, in other canons he can be killed by being exposed to material from the meteor that made him immortal.
Given the codename Gravedigger, Sykes became a secret weapon for the US Army and the first metahuman in recorded history.
Deathstroke is a metahuman; all of his abilities and talents are enhanced several times beyond that of a normal human being of his size, condition and age. Deathstroke possesses low-level superhuman strength, speed, stamina, senses, intellect, and resistance to injury.
She not human. And since all Kryptonians gain powers from yellow sunlight, she's not even a metakryptonian. But in comic Kryptonians are considered as metahumans in anatomy of metahumans.
A superhuman is a person with superpowers. A metahuman is the same thing… It's easier to treat “metahuman” and “superhuman” as just the more modern word for superhero (and supervillain), and that concept does include people without powers if their skills and gear make them equal to true superhumans.
Among the contents of Lex Luthor's metahuman files in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was footage of how Victor Stone was transformed into Cyborg.
One of the weakest characters in DC Comics, Color Kid aka Ulu Vakk is from planet Lupra. This member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes was once hit by a beam of colorful light and can now change the color of everything.
Here are 10 Characters Who Have Beaten Superman.
- 3 WONDER WOMAN.
- 4 LEX LUTHOR.

- 7 TRUCK STOP DINER BULLY.

- 9 DOCTOR DOOM.

DoomsdayHe was environmentally moulded to kill Superman, and low and behold, he did. Superman was, even in his post-crisis form, the most powerful (living) being in the DC Universe, so to have Doomsday kill him - even if it did come at great cost to his own wellbeing - proves that he's fairly ridiculous.
18 DC Superheroes Who Are Insanely Overpowered

- Phantom Stranger.
- Doctor Manhattan.
- Captain Atom.
- Supergirl.
- Superman.
- Captain Marvel/Shazam.
- Martian Manhunter.
The one DC Comics superhero you wouldn't think is stronger than Superman but actually is would be his cousin, Supergirl. This fact is canon both in the comic books and on television as Kara Zor-El is older than Superman, even though he has been on Earth longer.
More of Marvel's characters have won in more categories, but DC's victors far outshine their competition. No one from the Marvel Universe or the DC Universe compares to Superman, whereas Iron Man and Hawkeye just barely edge out their rivals. Still, we'd say that Marvel has stronger characters for now.
