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".
Known powers
Image | Power | Description | Known users |

Invisibility | The power to become invisible at will. | Linda Park (Earth Two) | |
File:Cisco opens a breech to Earth Two.png | Interdimensional travel | The ability to open portals to other dimensions. Cisco Ramon is able to do this by manipulating the dimensional energies of the multiverse, while Barry Allen can accomplish this by moving fast enough to break open portals between dimensions. | Barry Allen Jay Garrick Cisco Ramon Cisco Ramon (Earth Two) Hunter Zolomon |
Nucleokinesis | The ability to generate and absorb nuclear energy through the body. | Deathstorm Firestorm Al Rothstein (Earth Two) | |
Organic sand transformation | The power to turn oneself into a matter similar to sand, and rearrange it to make weapon out of it. | Eddie Slick (Earth Two) | |
Organic steel transformation | The power to turn one's skin into a metallic substance that enhanced his strength and durability to that of steel. Only sonic booms ehanced strike at the weak point of the metal can reverse the ability. | Tony Woodward | |
Pathokinesis | The power to manipulate the emotions or feelings of an individual, for example making them feel joy or pain.[10] One such meta-human caused his victims to act completely impulsively - rather than holding back thoughts or actions, they would become angry and act upon these emotions.[11] | Roy Bivolo Nathan Bliss | |
Photokinesis | The power to control and generate light at various intensities which can be used to temporally or permanently and melt through steel | Linda Park (Earth Two) | |
Plasma projection | The power to generate a form of plasma. One meta-human, Jake Simmons can generate plasma in the form of laser beams,[12] while other meta-humans can generate plasma in the form of flames.[13] | Deathstorm Firestorm Jake Simmons | |
Pyrokinesis | The power to generate, and/or manipulate fire. Due to their nuclear physiology, Firestorm and Deathstorm are able to produce fire from their hands and head, as well as Joseph Monteleone, who is able to generate flames from the tar his body produces. | Deathstorm Firestorm Joseph Monteleone | |
Quantum tunneling | Commonly known as Intangibility, speedsters can vibrate their molecules so fast and become one with the Speed Force, therefore being able to phase any part of their body through objects and people.[14] | Barry Allen Jay Garrick Eobard Thawne Hunter Zolomon | |
Shapeshifting | The power to copy the appearances and the clothes of others people by touching them. | Hannibal Bates | |
Shark physiology | When Shay was exposed to the theoretical particles of the particle accelerator, he was being injected with regenerative shark cells, in the hopes of curing his stage-four illness. He was combined with these cells, causing his head to mutate in to that of a shark's.[15] | Shay Lamden (The Flash: Season Zero) Shay Lamden (Earth Two) | |
Sonic wail | The power to scream with super sonic frequencies powerful enough to destroy buildings | Laurel Lance (Earth Two) | |
Speed mirage | The power to create after-images with their speed, making it appear like they're in two places at once, when in reality, they're just in one place at a time but just bouncing back and forth so fast that the human mind can't perceive the difference.[16] | Barry Allen Eobard Thawne Hunter Zolomon | |
Super durability | The ability to withstand high levels of physical harm and sustain little to no injury, such as when Grodd was unaffected by Barry's supersonic punch.[17] Speedsters possesses a level of superhuman durability due to their bodies being adapted to the effects of super-speed. | Barry Allen Grodd Shay Lamden (Earth Two) Al Rothstein (Earth Two) Jake Simmons Eobard Thawne Tony Woodward Hunter Zolomon | |
Super hearing | The power to hear and distinguish frequencies and sound waves far better than the average human, such as radio waves, or simply have an hearing more powerful than average human. | ||
Extreme force generation | The power to generate great amounts of physical force, such as kinetic energy and friction by packing speed into one's blows and enhance the users impactive force to inhuman levels. | Barry Allen Eobard Thawne Hunter Zolomon | |
Super speed | The power to generate large amounts of kinetic energy in one's cells to allow for movement at incalculable speeds, most notably while moving their bodies or even simply one part of it or more at a time. This ability to accelerate their movements allows them to vibrate their molecules and cells at various levels of effectiveness. Those who wield this ability are called "speedsters" and usually gain the capability to expand their power set to fields such as time travel, intangibility, speed mirages, and manipulating the electricity their accelerated movements generate. The electricity generated in a speedster's body can usually be found emanating backward while running along with an aura of color.[2] |
Barry Allen | |
Super strength | Being able to pick up much heavier loads than would normally be considered humanly possible, or throw, punch, kick, grab or otherwise strike harder than humanly possible and being able to cause significant and even permanent bodily damage to an opponent.[18] |
Griffin Grey | |
Tar generation | The power to generate tar and manipulate it. | Joseph Monteleone | |
Telekinesis | The power to manipulate the movement of an object with the mind only. | Rajeet | |
Telepathy | The ability to read, communicate with, attack and control minds.[19] | Grodd | |

Vibrational blasts | The ability to manipulate the natural vibration of an object and to be able to project vibrations as a form of concussive blasts. | Cisco Ramon Cisco Ramon (Earth Two) | |
Zoopathy | The power to control any species of animal with one's mind.[1] |
Non-magic Powers from other sources
Following the assassination of Chay-Ara and Khufu by Hath-Set, meteors made out of alien technology known as Nth metal impacted the Earth and had a great effect on their bodies. They were granted powerful powers similar to meta-humans. However, this is not magic as these powers change the genes inside. Along with these three ancient Egyptians, there are more beings with similar powers throughout the Arrowverse. Here is a list of similar powers, though not magic nor meta-human powers.
