Well lets mix together Steelheart, Worm and a dose of our ideas.

Super Powers suddenly manifest in 0.3-0.5% of the population (I am open to change that number). The powers are diverse and the power level ranges from street to epic.

In some places the state totally collapses and you essentially have super villains that rule oder their fiefdoms as tyrannic rulers. Thats not the Norm though. In most areas the state prevails and is able to co-opt heroes.

The Powers manifest spontaneously and with no clear pattern, so a mental asylum where the inmates suddenly gain powers is entirely possible and is going to plounge a region into Anarchy....

Epics can rise their power level or even gain whole new powers when they explore their powers further.

The game I would do starts immediately after the powers manifest in a city where the state Authority collapses and where turf wars break out.

The players can be heroes or villains and everything in between.

Ideas:

-A stepford wive type woman that gains extremly strong psychic powers. She desperately tries to pretend everything is normal in her corner of the city and even has her weekly meeting of the tennis Club. If another Gang attacks her district her "friends" turn into mind control drones that attack the enemies with suicide attacks...

-A white Power Gang that ruthlessly and efficiently carves out an Empire and attracts other supers... (Yeah Empire 88 actually was cool)
