Real genetics doesn't include your base Supers Package, and Class I through IV Supers concept. Considering I already mentioned that it was possible even someone with good genetics wouldn't manifest, I would hope context made it clear; I just mean that, if a Super manifests at all, they're still at least Class I. I'm not married to that concept, just trying to stick to one of the parameters you gave us.
Wait. Wait. Wait. I re-read your comment, AlexanderHowl, and now I'm a bit confused. Did you catch that I've been discussing this change in the context of initial power manifestation? Your last sentence doesn't make sense when viewed in that light.
