Real Superhumans ?
I can see one of three things happening.
1. The public is revealed to the existence of the Superhumans and reacts violently. Days of Future Past occurs, with every Superhuman being tagged, collared and identified. Possibly even killed is Nazi esq death camps.
2. The Us/Uk military sanction the existing superhumans within their respective countries and deploy them within Iraq, subsequently Iraq either drops the bomb or begins a Super human arms race.
3. The Super humans create their own Genosha and attempt to live in peace.
Needless to say ordinary people will not react very well....

Tell that to the relatives of the guy 'Spidey' put his fist through.
Personally, I'm pretty sure that if superpowered beings existed in the real world, we'd never really notice.
Most people, if they got say... telepathy, wouldn't go around using their powers to try to conquer the world. They'd use it to get hot girls to sleep with them and get out of paying for bills in resteraunts and tricking the bank into seeing a check for a hundred dollars as a check for a hundred thousand.
It would be pretty much the same with any superpower. Most people would realize that regardless of how powerful they were (unless they had like Superman level powers), they wouldn't be able to beat an army. They'd use their powers to drastically improve their day to day life, but I doubt very much anyone would become a superhero or villain.
Unless we got LOTS of people with superpowers. Then crazy things might start to happen.

Well sure, a person with Spider-powers could go on a rampage.
But I'm talking large scale. Anyone, even without super powers, can kill someone. But Spider-Man doesn't pose a threat to humanity like someone like Superman would.
