* In ''VideoGame/MapleStory'', Angelic Buster fits the bill. She's the only Nova (A race of dragon/human hybrids from a different planet) who can't use mana at all (And subsequently the only class in the game who can't use mana, sans demon slayer/avenger). Instead she gains her powers from an ancient dragon who gives her immense power. It allows her to use very powerful skills but intead uses a recharge system. The system gives the better skills a chance (usually 40-60%) to recharge and reuse skills to "balance" her. At the time of her initial release, she was the only class to be able to consistently break the damage cap (Next major patch allowed anyone to do so, and increase the cap to 50 million so it became moot). She was a blatantly broken, being able to solo many bosses within a few seconds, and the hardest boss at the time in about an hour. She was nerfed in all subsequent releases (All releases outside of KMS got a version WORSE than the nerfed version. This was because the class was STILL in the top five DPS in the game.)

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'', Corvo starts the game as the Royal Protector, bodyguard to the Empress, and manages to fight off half a dozen super-powered mooks until their boss shows up. After that, [[EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity the Outsider]] comes to him in a dream and gives him powers, making him an EmpoweredBadassNormal. However, the SelfImposedChallenge "It was just a dream" involves players ignoring any and all magic in the game, proving that Corvo can carve through an entire city of magitek with nothing but his wits and his gear.

There are no superhumans in Urban Chaos (or at least they are not mentioned)

* In keeping with the above, the survivors of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' count. Four regular humans against a horde of zombies backed up by superpowered sub-boss zombies.
** The Sacrifice comic attempts to handwave the badassery of the [=L4D=] survivors by having each of them be trained in some way with guns; Bill was in the military so he is a natural with guns, Zoey was taught how to use guns by her father (who was also a police officer), Louis spent his lunch breaks at the rifle range, and Francis was in a gang so he would have used guns at some point. Bill's badassery is magnified due to the fact he suffered a knee injury during his tour at Vietnam and it hasn't healed properly since.
** The survivors in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' are also badasses in their own right, being capable of surviving against all odds and can effectively use any weapon just like the old survivors. Like with Bill, Coach suffered a knee injury (occurred during a football game at college), but it doesn't stop him from kicking ass.
