Patient Zero Theory

The Patient Zero Theory is a theory on how individual humans have gained supernatural powers. This theory suggests that there had only been one parahuman at one point. This individual is often theorized as being part of a scientific experiment or blessed by divine powers. This individual has since then begun to bestow powers to other humans by observing them from television, social media, or from their own set of powers.

Criticisms
Critics point out that this theory still fails to explain the origin of these physics-defying powers. They also point out that this patient zero has yet to of been discovered.
