Considering Superboy is half human, is it possible for him to gain/activate a power due to metagenes? Lagoon Boy was experimented on by the Reach (learning that he is an average Atlantean and capable of gaining powers aside from his Atlantean phisiology and Atlantean magic/sorcery). Must one be full human? Additionally, do all human contain the metagene, which is just dormant, or is it a selective mutantism?
P.S. I do not think he needs new powers and I do not want him to gain them. Just curious about the general concept.
Does this belong in a metagene forum rather than Superboy? If so sorry. Also, I understand that we do not have all information about the metagene in this Earth, but what is the knowledge from the comics? (I've tried reading online for more info but couldn't find the direct answer.) Thanks!
