* HumanAliens: Rokk and the other Braalians are usually humans, descended from a group that was taken and experimented on to give them a uniform powerset--like Kryptonians or Martians--rather than humanity's unpredictable potential powerset brought about by the meta-gene, but while not all continuities keep to this version of the story Braalians are always physically indistinguishable from humans save for occasionally purple eyes.
