I think it comes down to how you define “superpower.” If were just talking mutations, I think superspeed and super-strength would be the most plausible.
Think of someone line Michael Phelps. His physical attributes make him - compared to most others - inhumanly fast and strong due to his wingspan and body structure. I wouldn’t quite call it a superpower, but I think deviations in size and body comp could lead to abilities deemed “super.”
i think the best thing for this post is to think of abilities that aren’t natural to humans, and how they could become natural. like for example AR surgery on a person’s eyes increases their cyborg %. otherwise people will just list normal things and people that go a tiny bit beyond them. I was thinking of a big leap.
I mean, if you consider cyber-augmentations, and spice it up with some futuristic assumptions of how technology would advance, then a lot of things become possible.
Both Batman and Ironman could technically be plausible superheroes in a sufficiently advanced world.
Having a mobile device that fits in your hand with the power of communicating with computer networks wirelessly and access all kinds of information like we do today would have been considered a super power 30 years ago.

sounds so exciting and terrifying at the same time!
