Just found this article and I love it. I always liked origin stories, and it amused me how they've changed over time. (Toxic waste is out of style, now it's all genetic engineering and nanites). In my superhero universe, the fall of Atlantis granted people powers, and the series is drawn more and more back to Atlantis and the catastrophe that sank it. Lots of different power sets that divide into four classes: strength, psi, arcane, or metamorph.

In a sense it seems like almost a historical accident that superheroes became a genre inn and off themselves considering they started as a crossover of different pulp genres.
