The Human-Wraith Hybrids were a new engineered species that began to appear within the Pegasus galaxy.
Hybrids were artificially created through the use of Humans who were forced to undergo the Conversion process making them a species that matched the qualities of human with that of the Wraith. This was to create a more perfectly balanced organism that merged the qualities of the two races but were engineered to lack the one weakness that was going to be the downfall of the Wraith, which was the need to feed on the life of other beings.
The race were humanoid in appearance with Wraith features namely the paler skin tone and the facial slit on their cheek. Like many of their maker's creations, the Hybrids had triggers implanted in their minds making them susceptible to his influence making them utterly loyal. This allowed even enemies to be transformed into a Hybrid yet remain loyal to their master.
The genetic changes were not complete, however, and required refinement in order to make them perfect. This required the use of a child of two Wraithkin in order to serve as a blueprint to the perfection of the species.
One of the abilities that is given by being turned into a Hybrid is enhanced strength. Michael was able to go one on one against Ronon Dex and win which even most Wraith can't do, although it was a close fight due to Ronon's fighting abilities. Even in a weakened state, Michael was more than a match for Lt. Colonel John Sheppard and it took both him and Teyla Emmagan to defeat him, although his strength seemed to fail him as he was hanging from a balcony. Presumably at that time he was significantly weakened from being shot and the fight however. Hybrids likely also have enhanced healing abilities as Michael said that he took the strengths of both species and one of those strengths for the Wraith is their advanced healing abilities. Also, despite being shot, Michael was able to move around and fight despite being in pain, and while he was somewhat weakened from this, it didn't impair him much.
