Considering how much progress has been made on this Earth in the 14 years since 1991 in the field of genetic engineering,I'd say that the Cavillo test would have been improved,especially as the version described can only determine the potential of metahuman powers in a test subject,and not whether the subject has actually developed such abilities.
Since the U.N. forbids non-latent metahumans from joining the military(I.S.T's excepted),it seems likely that a test to determine whether a character can actually use their metahuman abilities could be developed.
(In fact,now I'm remembering that Professor Power's origin (as described in GURPs Super Scum) stated that the Eastern block scientists who activated his latent metagenes could tell that they'd suceeded in activating his latent metabilities,but required elaborate tests to dtermine which powers he had manifested)."There's only one kind of monster that uses bullets"
