* ''TabletopGame/WorldTreeRPG' is a setting where literally everyone has some level of magic, though 90% of the population mostly uses it for MundaneUtility. Their technology is based around it(sinks are enchanted bowls that duplicate any liquid placed in them, fire extinguishers are replaced by fire-extinguishing spells set with a trigger, etc), housewives use it to clean dishes and small children will summon cookies to eat.

* 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 the "Everyone" part of the trope name; because of their spirituality, their entire population is born with the ability to airbend.

* ''Toys/SuperThings'': The majority of Kaboom City is made up of [[AnimateInanimateObject object-based]] superheroes and supervillains, often created thanks to the power of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Kazoom]]. There are a few rare characters that develop their powers through their lives instead, along with a small minority of non-powered civilians. In the case of the [[KidHero Kazoom Kids]], they are a far more recent addition to the pool of heroes, turning ordinary humans into superheroes.

* ''Manga/BlackClover'': Everyone in the world is born with the ability to use magic, usually in the form of creating and manipulating a form of matter or element. The class system of this world seems to be based around one's magical ability, the nobles using their magical skills as a way of lording superiority over the less magically inclined peasants. The only character that does not seem to possess any latent magical ability is the protagonist [[UnSorcerer Asta]]. [[spoiler:Ironically, it is this complete lack of magic that allows him to wield the Five-Leafed Clover Grimoire, allowing him to wield [[ExcaliburInTheRust swords]] [[SpellBlade imbued]] with AntiMagic.]]

* In the setting of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', 80% of humanity has some kind of superpower, which are called "[[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Quirks]]".

The main character, who wants to actually be a superhero, is one of the 20% without a Quirk. [[SuperEmpowering This changes shortly after the series begins]].

** ''ComicBook/XMen'' is a {{deconstruction}} since it shows how society would react to a growing population of super-powered beings. ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' is an ''X-Men'' story with Characters/ScarletWitch changing the world so that most people were mutants, resulting in a role reversal with regular humans now being the victims of FantasticRacism instead of mutants.
