Stacy Hart has a terrific in-progress fic on Schnoogle called Darkly 
Inclined (she says, waving to Stacy in case she's here too):
http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/S_Hart/

Her unique, extremely interesting OC is a definitely not a Mary Sue; 
in fact it's this OC in particular who "humanized" Snape for me.

And of course, no mention of characters with superpowers would be 
complete without Lori Summer's Paradigm of Uncertainty, and its 
sequels, The Show That Never Ends and The Hero With a Thousand Faces -
 which happen to be among my favorite fan fics but NOT because of the 
superpowers!
