Superhumans (Earth-1600)

Superhumans are any individuals who have been genetically enhanced to develop/or are born with special abilities.

Origins
Millions of years ago, a Celestial called the Progenitor crash landed on Earth after being infected by the Horde. The Celestial's diseased body fluids seeped into the planet and percolated through the planet's primeval surface, forever altering the Earth's evolutionary trajectory and giving rise to the mutations and superhuman abnormalities that would be present in many of Earth's inhabitants. The Celestials visit Earth and experiment on humanity's prehistoric ancestors (a process they also carried out on several other planets), resulting in the creation of new species with said superhuman attributes; baseline humans, along with other races throughout the universe, with genes specially modified to develop abilities through a mutagenic agent were referred to as mutates, while those who are born with a genetic anomaly that grants them an extra-normal ability not possessed by normal humans are called mutants. The experimentation also created two new races, the Eternals and Deviants.
