Realistic Supers

Realistic Supers has two meanings.
*Supers themselves are realistic: Supers have powers (abilities) that, while at the upper end of the human spectrum. It would be like the Minutemen of the Watchman comic who were, as exceptional as they were, simply people in costumes. This is "Street-Level Heroes"
*The world is realistic: This can be in terms of physics (no air in space so no talking without communicators in your space suit) or social-political factors (Given how often the Sentinels in Marvel have malfunctioned or been reprogramed no one rational would support the program.)
It is rare, but possible, that a setting is realistic in both senses - Zorro serves as one such example as does the serial (but not movie or most TV incarnations) version of Captain America.
