quote:I asked to have no metagene people around before the '50es because I am toying with the idea of revealing that the metagene is not a casual mutation, but something that waS PLANTED in the humankind at that point.
In the story it has been stated that EVERY human has the metagene, only it is active in some and not in others. The MCCA in the US, M-X and other companies have been testing it which led to an accidental "breakout" which has caused the metagenes in the 90s and present to become active.
