Well, I feel that the flesh would revert, in time. The body continuously
regenrates and rejuvenates itself, growing new cells, etc. albeit slowly.
Without magic, the metagene is inert, and cannot tell the body to build,
repair, replace, metahuman traits, skin consistency, bone thickness, etc.
So the body rebuilds itself into its genetic model, based on its DNA "map",
which is now missing the metahuman compotent. Result? The metahumanity would
slowly be "washed" or healed right out of the system. As you can see, a very
slow process indeed. But from a roleplaying aspect, I would rule that a
methuman character travelling through time to the past would somehow be
subject to an accelerated regression to human, a result of the temporal
displacement. Of course, going home to the future would reverse the
process. Man, after all that, wouldn't he be glad to be home....and Dorothy
thought she had it bad...
