Metagene

A metagene is a unit of hereditity found in living human organisms. It defines whether or not an individual has the potential to develop superhuman powers. Not all superhuman beings possess a metagene however. Many heroes and villains derive their powers through cultural heritage or acts of fate. A metagene is the DC equivalent to the Marvel Comics mutagenic x-factor.
