Mutations
After the Calamity certain people have have gained powers ranging from super human senses to basically magical abilities.. The World Government had officially labeled anything within those ranges as mutations, but the people with these mutations tend to refer to them as powers. Being branded as criminals was already demeaning enough so they at least wanted something better to call their gifts.
Mutations can either be categorized as a trigger type ability or not one. Trigger type abilities requires something besides the users own willpower to activate. The trigger will vary from person to person and can even be something as minor as blinking. Trigger-types are one of the main reasons the World Government deemed mutants to be dangerous, if someone unaware of their trigger.. unaware of the fact they even had a power.. were to suddenly find that trigger it could be extremely dangerous in public. Even if they weren't to harm somebody it would make the people feel unsafe and the Government would be condemned.
