Jonathan has straight-up killed people before!<br/>AFAIK, there's no specific DNA sequence that confirms Abnormality. Without a specific strain, hunting for an abnormal trait in the DNA is like hunting for a needle in a haystack- or, to put it better, like searching for a <em>specific</em> needle in a <em>barn filled entirely with needles</em>.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That leaves the lasting issue of it being conveniently easy to slip around the system though. Sure enough, hiding away that your kid can light himself on fire and go for third-degree burn hugs is a little harder to hide than that they can lift a little bit more than normal or that they're oddly good with electronics or whatever. It'd make it too easy for parents to conveniently hide away children with "meaningless" powers and just present them as normal, and it strikes against basic maternal instincts to just go "Oh, well, I guess my child can read faster than he should be able to, better ship him off and never see him again".
