Coming up with terminology for humans who turn into superhumans using "-thrope"

[megaplayboy]

The thread title explains it all. I'm wondering what latin(or other, I guess lycanthrope is actually Greek-derived) term you could add to "-thrope" to indicate a human who turns into a superhuman(like DC's Captain Marvel, or the Hulk). Metanthrope? Titanthrope(well, I guess that might be someone who could turn giant-sized)? Maybe Hyperthrope?

I like Metathrope.

 

Kratos is Greek for power, so something like Kratothrope could work, but not be as easily "cool".

I may be wrong but as the word "lycanthrope" is derived from "lykos" (wolf) and "anthropos" (human) the word should end with "-anthrope".

However, Metanthrope would probably still be correct.

Uberthropes or Parathropes might also work..though they're not as exact in definition.

Pneumanthrope

 

From pneuma, or breath/spirit/soul.

 

It is the term used in Greek martial arts for the concept of Chi.

 

Besides, when said aloud, will sound like "New Man Thrope"

Apotheosis is the term for becoming god like.

 

Apotheanthrope doesn't exactly roll off the tongue though.

Neothrope and Metathrope are my faves so far.

 

Omnithrope might be a shapeshifter...
