What would be the proper political and legal ramifications of superpowers?

Asked by JeSuisRickSpringfield (8238points) June 4th, 2012

Despite the occasional storyline depicting attempts to register or regulate them, superheroes in comic books and movies are more or less allowed to roam about on their own so long as they do not become supervillains. What if people in the actual world were to develop superpowers, though? What would be the proper way for society to react in political and/or legal terms. Would it matter whether it was only a few people or everyone who had obtained superpowers?
