[Hancock] What race of people are Hancock and Mary?

I don't think it was explicitly stated.

I think they were just the same "race" that people in the ancient past referred to as gods, in the distant past as angels, and in the recent past as aliens.  Now they're called super heroes to shoehorn them into a currently-established category - just as had happened throughout history.
