Both Marvel and DC have played with the idea of superpowers emerging as a stress response rather than deus ex machina in freak chemical accidents or gifts from some higher power.
But do they ever explore how radical that would be for society? Most people with super powers would come from unsafe or downright abusive environments. There would probably be more superheroes in poor countries than rich countries, and more superheroes from marginalized backgrounds.
