The Supers genre has a lot of subgrenres.

Detective Supers[]

Detective Supers is more about the heroes needing to find their way to the fight by investigating the actions of their foes rather then solving a traditional mystery,

Fantasy Supers[]

Fantasy Supers is more toward Supers being magically powered or in magical settings. The Titans in New Titans Annual Vol 1 #10 (June 1994) and the stories in Green Lantern: 1001 Emerald Nights (March 21, 2001) can serve as examples.

Mutant Supers were made popular by the X-men. Basically mutants are Supers who are born with super powers. In Marvel, characters that gain powers after birth though other means (such Spiderman and She-Hulk) are considered mutates.
