Metahumans have the metagene. It isn't a specific part of their brain, but their genetic coding.

Huh. I'd probably need to get a look at a metahuman (willingly) before I'd know if I could disable someone's powers directly - or rather, how I'd do that. I'm 99% sure that I could.

But depending on the power there's other ways to disable them. Easiest is probably to temporarily sever/otherwise disable the spine for any combat oriented powers, or lowering body temperature and metabolic rate so that their body becomes too low in energy to sustain their powers and they enter a form of hibernation. That works for almost every power.

[Wouldn't have worked for the Siberian. But she's a unique case.

Her passenger thrives on thinking of unique solutions to problems. Far more exciting than just healing people over and over. It would take a particularly serious case to get her to act on any of these, but she figures that there's no harm in just brainstorming.]

Lowering their body temperature would be effective. But managing it without doing it quickly is something else entirely.

[A not so subtle reminder that she couldn't help even if she wanted to. She should probably take it.]

Yeah. I'd have to get pretty creative to even make that work.

How dangerous are they? Is this an active threat situation or a contingency kind of thing?

They're a well-distracted threat without regard for human life.

If they lose that distraction, they won't have any reason to play nicely with the rest of us.
ontologically: (My dear.)

[She's still not sure if Robin is a hero or a villain. "No regard for human life" seems like a hero thing to worry about, but even then she could see her father or Taylor Hebert having the same concerns.

She's not sure it matters.]

Well. We can't really die.

I feel like I'd need to know more about the specifics (powers, type of villain, what kind of threat they actually represented) before I actually agreed to do anything but theoretically I'd be able to immobolize them without touching them or giving any indication that I was doing anything if I was in a room with them for a few minutes.

We can die. Repeatedly.

( whether or not that's better or worse depends on the person, but. )

I'll find you later.
