But what does being part anodite even mean? They have no DNA, so it would seem that the notion of a human-anodite hybrid is mistaken. Verdona is known to have assumed a human form; this is likely how she and Max were able to have children. In other words, it seems that Max and Verdona's children stem from Max's genes and artificial human genes created by Verdona. If this is the case, they are essentially entirely human, unless that part contributed by Verdona was imperfect or altered intentionally. And while it is possible that it was altered, possibly to better facilitate the inheritance of the enigmatic 'spark,' Ben, Gwen, and all of Max and Verdona's other decendents seem to be enhanced humans more that part-alien hybrids.
