I'm following my stash of Kid Sensation books with the last two books in Kelly Meding's MetaWars quartet. More superheroing, but on the darker/grittier edge. In this setting, Manhattan - the whole island - was used as a prison for supervillains, and fifteen years ago Something Happened that depowered all the supers. During the first book, the powers begin to return, and the mystery of what happened to remove them gets explored.

Something notable in the MetaWars books is that crimefighting is dangerous, even lethal, if you're not very careful. People also aren't very fond of the collateral damage (human and property), and as book three begins, a presidential candidate is using anti-Meta sentiment as part of his campaign. (I should point out that these books were published solidly before the Rise Of Trump.)
