Right off the bat I'm going to say that this isn't the kind of fic you requested, in fact it's pretty much the exact opposite in the beginning, but I think you would enjoy it.
Dean is the very shy 'normal' son of the superhero couple Captain Freedom and Laser. His younger brother is the superhero, Prophet. Then he gets kidnapped by an evil supervillian and comes into his own. Here is a little snippit.
'Dear, sweet' his ass. He was totally a BAMF. Wasn't a fighting skill he hadn't mastered, he had an IQ every bit as big as his brother's (even if he was more modest about throwing the genius label around) and he could absolutely, completely take care of himself! Okay, so he had one fatal weakness. He could absolutely, positively kick the ass of whatever villain tried to (insert horrific threat to his virginity, limbs, life, whatever here), but he had a problem dealing with … people. Hey, tower! Locked up! Isolated! Okay, okay, so they never let him go outside to play alone and he was ridiculously shy. He was really badass in his head. Totally! And he really could maim someone with a blade of grass if need be … if he could manage to look them in the eye.
