Line 10:
Form One - ''single-generation independent metahuman development''. This development form includes ''Homo Sapiens Superior'' (mutants), and other individuals who are born with metahuman abilities. Less than one percent of the metahumans known are classified as Form One.
 
Form Two - ''anomalous-catalyst metagene activation''. This form includes all individuals (most unknown) who possess a chromosomal/genetic variant known as the '[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metahuman#Marvel_Comics Metagene]]', which causes metahuman development if the person is subjected to some form of extreme stressful situation or environment involving the immediate possibility of death (A usual occurence in these situations is the inclusion of some variant in the environment or situation which provides a 'template' for the 'Metagene' to imprint from.) This is seen as the ultimate manifestation of the ‘fight-or-flight’ reflex. Between 18-20% of the ''entire human population'' is estimated to have Form Two potential.
 
Form Three - ''linear generational metahuman manifestation''. Individuals who were born with metahuman (or the potential for same), but have either similiar or complimentary abilities to abilities possessed by immediate familiy members. 90% of Form Three metahumans will give birth to offspring who will '''also''' possess metahuman abilities (and some will still possess the one-in-five chance of also possessing the 'Metagene').
