THE LAW IN THE EDGE!VERSE
A number of national and international laws directly relate to the metahuman community and activities. In the United States, the Halstead Act grants Federal jurisdiction over any crime involving metahuman abilities or exotic technologies. The Amberson Amendment makes research into creating or enhancing metahuman abilities a federal crime and bans federal agencies from such efforts; a separate Executive Order also bans such research in the Executive Branch, as well as Federal funding for such research. Internationally, the Metahuman Test Ban Treaty forbids signatory governments from research and experimentation into creating, developing, or enhancing metahumans or metahuman abilities. The Tokyo Annex to the Geneva Convention forbids the use of metahumans or metahuman abilities as instruments of war.
