The Metahuman Arms Race Heats Up - Trouble Alert May 30, 2019 pg. 48 - 49

In the wake of the Supermen Theory, countries across the world have turned their attention and resources away from nuclear arsenals and towards building metahuman armies. Some are even scanning their populace, thanks to new technology by LexCorp, in hopes of finding those rare few with a metagene. Once identified as meta-positive, the subjects are put through "traumatic events" in an attempt to trigger metamorphosis into a metahuman. The metahumans listed here do not represent every foreign metahuman, but those known to be aligned with their government.

Pozhar: Mikhail Denisovitch Arkadin, a husband and father, was thought killed in Chernobyl in 1986. Years later, he returned as a living nuclear reactor. Nearly impervious and able to transmute elements, the upper limitations of Pozhar's powers remain untested.

Leader of the metahuman group Hayoth, Seraph has kept the true number of his teammates secret. It is rumoured that the three most powerful metahumans on the planet are members of Hayoth. However, there is speculation that this is little more than propaganda created by the Israeli government.
