How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used in the context of Western science fiction media, particularly the X-Men franchise. It is a direct translation of the English concept rather than a native Cantonese descriptor for biological variation. You will rarely hear it used outside of discussions about movies, comics, or speculative fiction.
