Line 22:
*Alpha - metahumans born with their abilities who have undergone special gene-therapy to produce the Nightbreed solution in their bodies. [[Kyle Armalin]] is the last of the four ''known'' Alpha Nightbreed.
*Beta - receive their abilities through blood transfusions or 'mixing' of blood and the Nightbreed activation solution. Betas are generally not subject to any psychological inhibitions on their abilities that Alphas possess. Considered the most powerful of the Nightbreed. Transformation to Beta class is referred to as 'being turned.' [[Franklin Davers]] is a Beta Nightbreed.
*Gamma - receive their abilities through the Nightbreed solution. Their power levels are typically far less than those of Alphas or Betas, and are limited to physical enhancements of ten to twenty times their pre-boost state. Unlike Alphas or Betas, Gamma Nightbreed cannot produce the Nightbreed solution in their own bodies. Transformation to Gamma class is referred to as 'being sired'. The majority of Nightbreed operating at present (at least 90%) are Gamma Nightbreed.
*Delta - individuals who have developed trace amounts of the Nightbreed solution in their bodies due to long-term intimate contact with Nightbreed. They do not develop powers, but have a vastly increased resistance to disease and have a slightly higher rate of healing. Most Delta Nightbreed are unaware of their status. [[Erin Danielson-Chambers]] is an example of a possible Delta Nightbreed.
*Omega - individuals who already have metahuman abilities, or the potential for them, and have been exposed to the Nightbreed solution. These individuals usually possess some of the typical Nightbreed abilities, but are usually an intermix of Nightbreed and the original abilities. It is unknown (at present) if Omegas can pass along their powers. Stacy Rowe of the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] is an example of an Omega Nightbreed.
