    Default What are some trained superhumans?

    I'm just wondering, what are some superhumans with actual training? Guys like Empress or Shadow Thief?

    are we talking specifically metahumans, like strictly humans, or just anyone with superhuman abilities?
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    Wonder Woman most readily comes to mind. In most interpretations she was super even before she began her training. With most others I can think of, it went the other way.

    The Atom (Ray Palmer) was a skilled gymnast before gaining his powers, and his predecessor (Al Pratt) was a skilled fighter before developing superstrength. Black Lightning was a similar story.

    Post-COIE, we saw Cassie trained trained by Artemis. Fire had some government training, I guess (before her revamped origin for Checkmate). I know there's a bronze age JLA with Canary training Firestorm, though I don't know how regular an occurrence that was. Donna's been in the same boat as Diana for training at times. Kory had some, too, but may not meet your criteria, since she's an alien. Duke should qualify now.

    barring aliens and human-adjacent races like demigods (Wonder Woman) and Atlantians (Aquaman), or people who get their power through some other means (The Atom, Green Lanterns), a few i can think of are:

    Black Canary
    Deathstroke
    Black Lightning
    Duke Thomas/Signal
    Wallace West (most Titans/Teen Titans tend to train together)
    Conner Hawk
    Honor Guest/Silencer
    Katana (recently started delving into magical powers again, so she counts)

    Most of the Amazons would be here. Then you have the low tier/street level metas like Black Canary and Black Lightning.

    Kara/Supergirl was trained by the Amazons at one point in time (a good point in time)

    Kara isn't a metahuman, she's an alien

    Silencer

    Black Lightning was an Olympic athlete before unlocking his powers. He's also a trained martial artist.

    Bea da Costa was an undercover operative.

    Sasha Bordeaux was considered good enough to be Batman's bodyguard before she became an OMAC.
