see the problem is if i call people with superpowers 'parahumans' in my story it's obvious i'm stealing from Wildbow but if I call them 'metahumans' it's obvious I'm stealing from everyone else.

I just call ‘em supers. It’s like zombies—you don’t really need to come up with a name like zeds or crazies or freakers, because everyone already knows they’re zombies.

The scientists are explicitly stealing from Worm! In-universe!

Super isn't really all that different from para. "Superhuman" (or, if you want to be really clever, "suprahuman") seems like a plausible technical term.

Call 'em "ultrahumans".

(I typed that and then stared at it for several seconds trying to figure out whether or not I was joking.)
