George R. R. Martin edited a terrific series called Wild Card that is really well grounded. The premise is an alien virus that gives people random mutations and some of them are horrific (the Jokers) but some get fantastic powers (the Aces).
It's pretty gritty and 'realistic' like they really go deep into how the various powers would realistically affect people and be used.
I really liked it up until
Tap for spoiler
one of the authors decided that ALL of the abilities and powers were all just forms of telekenesis , really sucked all the fun out of it!
