Dr Norman Kessick
This is the story of a survivor of a experiments on prepubescent children by a mad scientist named Dr Norman Kessick. You are that survivor.
Dr Kessick used several sociopaths to collect children according to his specifications. Why he selected certain children over others is unknown. What IS known was that he thought he could produce a true superhuman. Many of the children died from the torture. All were given various mutagenic cocktails. Some were subjected to chemotherapy. Some were electrocuted, burned alive, suffocated, crushed, shot, stabbed.
Your Character
You were one of the lucky ones. He never got around to the tests to see if your powers had been activated. And medical testing showed that no observable physical harm was done. Eventually you were returned to your parents - assuming the psychopaths didn’t kill them as they often did. For those without parents, good families were found for them. People figured the children had suffered enough.
The police kept the identities of the children a secret as best they could, largely to save the kids from becoming targets of the Press, giving them a chance at a normal life. In many cases the children (and surviving family) were given new identities.
It has been years and you are now a teenager. (Alternatively we can go with young adults.) I was looking for high school ages, placing them in the same grade.
The doctors had been wrong, of course. Dr Kessick hadn’t been as crazy as people thought. That doesn’t excuse his methods. Eventually your powers were triggered (radiation, electrocution, whatever) And now you lead a secret life, hiding your nature.

Option 3 (but I would have to have hi look plain)
He was there too. Like you he suffered the horrors of the Lab, though you won’t recognize him. (He WILL recognize you.) In school he is the oddball, keeping to himself. Odds are he will be the sort of kid who gets bullied.
Feel free to choose the pic for my character. I am going for a specific look in terms of face and hair color.

List your classes.
If we do go with adults, you’ll need a job.
Powers
Here is where it gets tough. You should appear human - no purple or green skin, glowing eyes, etc. Low profile here. Powers should be under control. Something along the powers seen in the TV series Heroes might work.
Any sort of absorption, nullifications are pointless. This is about two people discovering that someone can even have superpowers. It is not a superhero RP, so much as a slice of life dealing with being ... different.
No time manipulation
No telepathy
No control others
No life sucking or other classically evil powers
Not a complete list
