With all the oversaturation of superhero content I’m surprised I haven’t seen anything where all superhero abilities are lost at puberty (and still only rarely seen before that).
I can see a lot of mileage in a setting where some people are castrated to try and retain powers (maybe this works partly and dulls your power), where non superheros are exploiting children and their powers, seems like there’s a good amount of potential narrative in there which I’m way too lazy to come up with myself.

You know how baby snakes are more dangerous because they don’t know how to inject the proper amount of venom?
Child super “heros” would be terrifying.
