Nova's, Quantum, and Metas.

In this setting I am using Novas from Aberrant as well as Metas from DC, Marvel, Image.

Nova's are basically Metas but draw their power directly from the fundamental energy in the Universe called quantum. Most Novas will radiate 'something' discernible that other metas and Nova's can pick up on and will betray their true being. Some low level Nova's are undetectable from baseline humanity however.

Neither Metas or Nova's are better or worse than each other as each has things that the other might not, but the differences are few and far between.
