* ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' uses this trope. The people with no superpowers are from different planets or different time periods and they quickly receive powers when they arrive in the main setting. Even Magikarp can hold its own here.

* The ''LetsPlay/OriginsSMP'', ''LetsPlay/AfterlifeSMP'', and ''LetsPlay/NewLifeSMP'' are all centred on the [[MassiveRaceSelection Origins Mod for Fabric]] and variations thereof, where each player either chooses (OSMP) or is randomly assigned (ALSMP and NLSMP) an origin out of a pool of dozens. As a result, a vast majority, if not all of the cast consists of super-powered individuals, referred to as "hybrids" in the NLSMP.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Played with. Syndrome, who feels spurned by not having been born with superpowers and being rejected as a sidekick years ago by Mr. Incredible, plots to retire after his planned career as a FakeUltimateHero by selling his superpower-granting gadgets to anyone who can afford them. In his words, "And when everyone's super... ''no one will be''," combining his envy of supers and desire to see them fall with the threat of a world overrun by people who paid to have those powers, and presumably lord it over those who can't, thus [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis creating a different version of the same problem that led to his fall to evil in the first place]].

* In ''LightNovel/FateRequiem'', almost every single person in the world is either born with or later given a Holy Grail inside of them. This allows them to summon and maintain a Servant, and also gives them eternal youth and life by removing aging, poor genetics, disease, viruses, cancer, and other biological illnesses, as well as the ability to control their physical age with Command Seals. A good example of this is Chitose Manazuru, who is main character Erice Utsumi's ''grandmother'', yet looks like her upperclassman.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and its spin-off, nearly all of the students from Academy City are undergoing esper training. So it is reasonable to expect unnamed street bullies to have some sort of superpower. As one teacher put it, a student not having esper powers is something out of the ordinary and worth researching. The SuperpowerLottery is very much in effect though, and most of these powers are entirely useless.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has the "anyone can learn basic magic, but not everyone chooses to do so" variant. Notably, the swordsman of the group has a high enough "capacity" to become an incredible mage, but his attention span is too short to remember or focus on the incantations. The light novels present it a bit differently with Gourry being a bit smarter than he gives out...But double-subverted, in that his memory is STILL terrible.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', while not ''everyone'' has elemental bending powers, meeting someone who does is about as unusual as meeting someone who's a brunette. So while the show heavily features cool fight scenes involving elemental kung fu, we're also often treated to displays of their {{Mundane Utilit|y}}ies, such as building houses, heating and cooling drinks, powering steam-punk machines, and playing games. Of particular note, the Air Nomads deserve special mention for living up to "Everyone" part of the trope name; because of their spirituality, their entire population is born with the ability to airbend.

* Though not to superhero levels, ''Series/{{Eureka}}'' is based on a town where everyone is super intelligent. Zoey was raised outside, so she has had a normal upbringing and lampshades how different the town being this kind of 'super' several times. Despite this, she actually has a genius-level intelligence, in stark contrast to her father, who only rates at about 100 IQ (i.e. average) but has street smarts, people skills, and ''common sense''.

Atlanteans are the outcastes of the setting, but still live for centuries and have little difficulty defeating demonic beasts barehanded that would require [[BeastMan the yaga]] specialized firearms to fight. The denizens of Olympus itself are [[TheAgeless unaging]], possess ResurrectiveImmortality, and so strong that a centuries out of practice reserve soldier can overwhelm the protagonist's initial party single-handedly.

In serious works, if the hero is lucky, he or she may have some [[SuperpowerLottery appropriately more epic power than most]], otherwise, the heroes may be little more than {{Action Survivor}}s, even if they have superpowers. Frequently, however, it is used in comic works, where the notion of superpowers are lampooned by just giving them out to everyone until [[SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome everyone is so special that nobody is special]]. If the hero is very unlucky, they might have very weak powers or even be an UnSorcerer.

* In the ''Literature/CodexAlera'' series, ''all'' Alerans (the human civilization) possess a degree of ElementalPowers ([[BadassNormal the protagonist]] being [[UnSorcerer a notable exception]]), ranging from peasants who have limited control over one element to [[PersonOfMassDestruction godlike]] [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking high nobility]]. On the nonhuman side of things, the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Marat]] all have the ability to [[BondCreatures telepathically bond with an animal]] (including large, vicious predators), and while only a few of the [[WolfMan Canim]] actually have magic, any one of them is ''still'' a seven-to-eight foot tall centuries-old anthropomorphic canine, and therefore ''plenty'' badass enough to hold their own against all the superpowered people running around.

** Gameplay example on all but the youngest and emptiest realms. At any given time in the capital cities, level-capped players -- many of them armed with epic gear -- far outnumber both [=NPCs=] and leveling characters combined. When enemy players invade the cities, [[PoliceAreUseless the city guards can't put up much resistance]], but anyone can be a BadassBystander. Of course, the main reason enemy players would invade a city in the first place would be to kill its ruler, who happens to be a living (or unliving, in Sylvanas Windrunner's case) example of AsskickingEqualsAuthority.

** In ''ComicBook/EarthX'', everyone's a mutant [[spoiler:thanks to Black Bolt releasing [[SuperEmpowering Terrigen Mists]] into the Earth's atmosphere]]. That's one way to get rid of that FantasticRacism.

Most supers are just normal people who waste their powers or have no use for them, while a substantial number abuse their new abilities for selfish gains. Both types have caused numerous wars and conflicts, to the point that superheroes and supervillains had to step in to maintain governments. Many of the original heroes are totally unable to adjust to no longer being outliers; they've either [[DespairEventHorizon succumbed to apathy]] or begun to fight a doomed war against human self-destructiveness.

For example, one girl can see a [[LivingLieDetector devil tail grow on people when they lie]]. However, this causes a lot of problems, because living with a constant AugmentedReality really warps the way you view the world (often in negative ways). The girl mentioned above is also wears JadeColoredGlasses and has problems trusting people. It's a world where the tropes of KidsAreCruel and AdultsAreUseless are in full play. The 1% of kids who are not born with an Iris are known as "[[TitleDrop Iris Zeroes]]". Main Character Toru Mizushima is one such individual, and this has made him an outcast his entire life.

** Certain racial powers and birthsign abilities, though not magic in the standard sense, are essentially magical spells which can be used once per day and require no training, skill, or even magicka to use. They are simply inherent in those races and in people born under that birthsign. For example, even Nords, who typically ridicule magic users, can call on magical frost once per day as a racial power. Similarly, those born under the sign of the Shadow or Tower can magically turn invisible once per day or magically unlock a lock once per day, respectively. (''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' does away with the series' traditional birthsigns which were chosen at the start of the game and could not be changed, replacing them with Standing Stones which imbue the same powers but can be activated by the player.)

* In ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'', everyone climbing the Tower seems to learn to use [[BackGroundMagicField Shinsu]], which can be used to both make oneself physically more powerful and for SupernaturalMartialArts and firing energy blasts and such. Some people focus more on learning to manipulate probably-{{Magitek}} devices such as Observers and Lighthouses. This is in addition to the various other abilities people may already have and often do. Even people who seem to have no special abilities can manipulate Shinsu at least a little, as see in the "Strongest Regular", where people like Wangnan merely scored lowly in a test of channelling Shinsu rather than being unable to do it. The majority of people just living in the Tower may still be unpowered, but many of even them are not.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', while not ''everyone'' has elemental bending powers, meeting someone who does is about as unusual as meeting someone with brunette hair. So while the show heavily features cool fight scenes involving elemental kung fu, we're also often treated to displays of their {{Mundane Utilit|y}}ies, such as building houses, heating and cooling drinks, powering steam-punk machines, and playing games. Of particular note, the Air Nomads deserve special mention for living up to "Everyone" part of the trope name; because of their spirituality, their entire population is born with the ability to airbend.
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "Planet of the Capes" centered on an entire [[PlanetOfHats Planet of Superheroes]]. There was only one "Normal" in the entire population whose job it was to be constantly rescued by the supers, since without normal people to rescue, the supers just don't know what to do with themselves. Being hounded by them all day caused him to snap and become a gadget-using {{supervillain}}.
