**_[Differently Powered Individual](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DifferentlyPoweredIndividual?ref=eldraeverse.com):_** Given that this almost inevitably means people who have one set of technological enhancements or another, the generic term is _transsophont_ for those who are still recognizable as variants of their baseline species, and _postsophont_ for those who aren’t.
Of course, there are also plenty of derogatory terms around for those repulsive “übers”, “shinies”, and “cog people”, right?
