List of powers

Following the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator an unknown, but large, number of individuals had their lives transformed and many of them came from Earth Two. Many of those affected by the explosion and its further effects were given superhuman abilities or powers, being named meta-humans, nicknamed "metas."

Not all individuals have superhuman abilities or powers by being exposed to the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, as many experienced a different type of mutation. In ancient times the first way of becoming a meta-human was by exposure to the philosophers stone. Some, like Slade Wilson, had their DNA genetically modified by being injected by the Mirakuru serum, giving them superhuman physical attributes, senses and an accelerated healing factor. Eobard Thawne's biomolecular enhancer would have similar properties, additionally turning its users into monstrous creatures; as would the Stardust drug, modified to change beings on a molecular level. Aliens like Supergirl also sometimes possess superhuman attributes from birth (though Kara is fueled by a yellow sun).
