Plural of aberrant (used as a noun); persons or things that deviate from what is normal or expected.
From 'aberrant' used as a noun + '-s' (plural marker). While 'aberrant' is primarily an adjective, English allows adjectives to be nominalized (used as nouns) to refer to entities with that quality.
In science fiction and speculative genres, 'aberrants' often refers to mutants or super-powered individuals—the term carries a moral neutrality that 'mutants' or 'freaks' don't, suggesting deviation without judgment.
