I read a novel recently called Blindness about a dystopian situation when a virus infects an entire country except for one woman who hides her ability to see in order to get along with everyone else.  By the Portuguese author, José Saramago.  He won the Nobel Prize for literature.  But there's no hot superheroes in it, just some thugs who extort from others when everyone's blindness renders them vulnerable.

Right now, I've stumbled onto Utopia, the BBC series.  It's kind of grim and has plenty of unnecessary violence in it, so that's irritating in that it detracts from an otherwise interesting plot.  On amazon prime with ads, so those give me the occasional break from the dread.  I thought someone else had mentioned it on here but couldn't find the references.

I had to laugh.  Clearly I'm not on top of this stuff.  I checked Wikipedia and found a slew of newer books.  Wow.  They started releasing them in the early 1980's  So there's 4 more of them.  Maybe I'll get to them, eventually.
