Just finished the book The Fragile Light, by David Nurenberg. Good stuff; independent author. Worth reading.

Briefly, it's a SF&F novel about a world where mutants are sometimes heroes, and more often feared; where there are Herotown ghettoes full of supers; and where only licensed heroes can join in the game. It reminds me a bit of the early Wild Cards books, but better written. A fun read.
