But the film\u2019s intro also contains another detail that will shape the rebooted DC Universe in film and on TV: People in this setting have been aware of metahumans for 300 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Metahumans in DC Comics are normal humans with a special gene that can give them superpowers. Unlike Marvel\u2019s mutants, who typically manifest their abilities during puberty, DC metahumans typically have to be exposed to some sort of extreme circumstance, like intense stress or dark matter. Gunn is using a broader definition of the term by making it apply to Superman, whose powers come from being a Kryptonian, and to pretty much anyone else with superpowers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In Gunn\u2019s DCU, metahumans are no longer a terrifying new phenomenon, and have become <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/superman-new-man-of-steel-leads-dcu-of-tomorrow-cover-story-11751060\">more like celebrities<\/a>. But why set their debut 300 years ago? The most likely reason is he just liked the parallelism of everything in his pocket history of the world coming in threes, since the crawl also has Superman intervening in a war in Boravia three weeks ago, starting a relationship with Lois Lane three months ago, and losing his first fight three minutes ago. Still, the \u201c300 years\u201d framing has implications for which familiar DC metahumans are known to be active in this new setting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/what-supermans-promise-of-300-years-of-metahumans-really-means-for-the-new-dcu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">How long have metahumans been around in DC Comics?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Metahumans go way back in DC Comics. The first one is the supervillain Vandal Savage, a prehistoric man who was exposed to a meteorite that made him immortal 50,000 years ago. He\u2019s often been at odds with Hawkman and Hawkgirl, who in some versions of their story have been reincarnating since ancient Egypt. <em>Superman<\/em>\u2019s Hawkgirl doesn\u2019t get any backstory, so it\u2019s unclear whether this version is reincarnated, an alien from the planet <a href=\"https:\/\/dc.fandom.com\/wiki\/Thanagar\">Thanagar<\/a>, or something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are lots of other very old characters with superpowers in DC Comics. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23414843\/black-adam-review-dwayne-johnson-hawkman-doctor-fate\">Black Adam<\/a> also hails from ancient Egypt. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/530453\/absolute-wonder-woman-lasso-of-transformation\">Wonder Woman<\/a>\u2019s age isn\u2019t especially clear, but her mom Hippolyta goes back to ancient Greece. <a href=\"https:\/\/dc.fandom.com\/wiki\/Jason_Blood_(New_Earth)\">Jason Blood<\/a> has been around since the 6th century, when Merlin bound him to the demon Etrigan. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2021\/8\/2\/22605734\/batman-ras-al-ghul-costume-redesign-robin\">Ra\u2019s al Ghul<\/a> dates back to the 13th century, staying young with the power of the Lazarus Pit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The fact that metahumans have been common knowledge for 300 years in Gunn\u2019s DCU doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that none of these characters exist in this setting. Black Adam was imprisoned for 5,000 years before the beginning of Jaume Collet-Serra\u2019s 2022 film, and Vandal Savage, Ra\u2019s al Ghul, and Jason Blood all prefer to operate in the shadows. The Amazonian island Themyscira could remain hiding until the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/news\/606090\/james-gunn-confirms-dc-new-wonder-woman-movie\">Wonder Woman movie<\/a> Gunn says is in development.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/what-supermans-promise-of-300-years-of-metahumans-really-means-for-the-new-dcu-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Bride and Frankenstein in the animated DCU series Creature Commandos level mighty haymakers at each other, punching and being punched simultaneously.

The oldest ones Gunn has introduced to the DCU are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/506398\/creature-commandos-season-1-ending-nina-mazursky\"><em>Creature Commandos&#8217;<\/em><\/a> Eric Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein, who are about 200 years old. There aren\u2019t any DC Comics stories set in the 18th century, unless you count the parts of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/tv\/611153\/netflix-the-sandman-controversy-nada-wanda-trans-character\">The Sandman<\/a><\/em> featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/sandman.fandom.com\/wiki\/Johanna_Constantine\">Johanna Constantine<\/a>. The 19th century introduces the Civil War veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/dc.fandom.com\/wiki\/Jonah_Hex_(New_Earth)\">Jonah Hex<\/a> and is the setting from the Elseworlds <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2017\/12\/5\/16739330\/batman-gotham-by-gaslight-animated-movie-trailer-jack-ripper-dc-elseworlds\">Gotham by Gaslight<\/a> <\/em>stories. DC Comics history really gets going in the 20th century. It seems like the 300-year mark gives Gunn the freedom to tell whatever story he wants, free from canon constraints. But as the DCU continues to unfold, we\u2019ll see whether he has a specific hero or villain in mind to define that 300-year timeline.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dc\/612368\/superman-metahumans-300-year-timeline-reboot\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Gunn\u2019s Superman avoids rehashing the Man of Steel\u2019s origin story, instead opening with a simple round of on-screen exposition explaining that Kal-El arrived on Earth 30 years ago, and has been known as the most powerful superhero on the planet for the past three years.
