I eat this shit up.

In western comics there's Batman obviously, although between his billions and versatility of gadgets it's often like he may as well have powers.

In manga, the only one I can think of is Nagisa in Assassination Classroom.

Do you know any?

there's an isekai titled "It's Sudden, But I Came To Another World! But I Hope To Live Safely"

the MC (who we shall not name) is just a guy without any power, except his intellect.

don't let the title fooled you, the MC is even more cunning than plebs like like Kira/Light.

Most of anime examples I can think of are annoying af cuz its just used to pretend to MC isnt overpowered but secretly is/is outrageously gifted in some other capacity that just so happens to hard counter the setting theyre in.

Its incomplete and canceled but M0 is all i can think of.

About a dude that accidently enrolls in a magic school. Every1 thinks he is OP af because of some rumours. He doesnt have any magic in his blood tho and gets extremely lucky with certain scenarios. He isnt a talented genius either. Just gets lucky like Mr Satan from dragonball but he doesnt try to take credit for stuff. I guess a better comparison is King from one punch man lmao .shame that it got canceled

Its very similar to the manga Angel Densetsu which came before it.

Edit: oh i just remembered that the manga " Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun" has a very similar premise to Mx0 as well. Except the MC has to hide the fact that he is human. Also gets extremely lucky with certain scenarios.

Danganronpa 1 (aka Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc)

Every student is the "Ultimate x" so the best in their field. The MC, Makoto, gained entry to the school through a lottery and so is the "Ultimate Lucky Student" which doesn't really count for much in the setting

It's a great ADV game and I'm looking forward to playing the rest of the series

Did you see trailer for season 3? They got powers now like the comics.

Iirc in the comics the serum made all of the boys in the 80th percentile of supes. So not super OP but they could gang up on any supe and kill them lol.

wtf did you not read all of Assassination Classroom

Nagisa is such a talented and natural assassin that he can walk right up to you, with you knowing full well that he's about to stab you in the throat, and you just stand there and let him do it because he's so smooth and casual about it. Motherfucker knows exactly what you're thinking just by looking at you. Son of a bitch claps his hands one time and you pass out.

There are a lot of characters in Assassination Classroom who can be called "powerless", but Nagisa is definitely not one of them

Anybody can do the hand slap knockout with practice, it's just a technique in the series' world.

Nagisa has strong natural talent for stealth due to his size, demeanor and upbringing, but he still had to do the same rigorous training everyone else did for a whole semester to get up to the point of stealthing on Irina for example (who isn't exactly a hyperawareness-type assassin anyway).

Worst anime adaptation of all time. People complained about Neverland cutting out an entire arc

But Rosario Vampire was basically stripped to the point if you read the manga and watch the anime you'd think the later was a slice of life spin off. It's that bad

Gadgets are superpowers if the gadgets are technologically impossible / break laws of physics and Batman has plenty of those.

They're called "foci" in a general sense. You don't say wizards have no powers because you can take away their wands and then they can't cast any magic.

I mean, take it further and even if you ignored the difference in the MC, other stuff like the Sunflower Hill arc was a trip when comparing the two.

The only thing the Anime and Manga have in common is the characters name.
