* Franchise/SpiderMan [[TropeMaker invented]] this, pioneering the idea of a main character who was also an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent. The most obvious example is how he still has to work for a living despite being able to whip up a multi-purpose, industrial-strength adhesive in his basement.

* ''Comicbook/AstroCity'' refines this to a fine art. An early issue had a recent immigrant to the town (from Chicago) witness to an attack by a gigantic storm elemental. Heading to the roof to watch the fight between the monster and all of the town's superheroes, he sees a bunch of the people in his building have gathered. When he asks one woman where her kids are, she tells him that they're working on their homework. Since if the city isn't destroyed, there'll still be school tomorrow. This almost terrifies him into leaving town the next day, but when he sees how quickly the place is cleaned up and how everyone pitches in, it charms him into staying.

** How does Honor Guard, the world's greatest super-hero team, stay on top of the millions of emergency calls sent in every day? Easy! They have a ''call center,'' with thousands of operators employed. Other than the building having matter transporters, materializing at locations around the world for secrecy, and occasionally being a key component in defeating super-villains, it's more or less just like any other call center employed by large organizations everywhere.

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' lives and breathes this trope. In fact, some episodes focus so heavily on the mundane aspects of Koyomi and Senjogahara's lives and relationship that it's possible to forget that he's an ex-vampire and she was once rendered weightless by a crab god.

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is almost like a StealthParody of this trope, mainly revolving around Kyon. Despite knowing that his friends are, respectively, an omnipotent RealityWarper, a member of a shady organization of psychics, a member of an equally shady organization of time travellers, and a humanoid interface for an [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm incomprehensible alien being]]...he seems determined to live a normal life, and is frequently irritated by the supernatural distractions. It's also an InvokedTrope, since they all conspire to make the omnipotent one's life ''seem'' normal so that she won't realize how powerful she is. But this sometimes backfires and makes her unwittingly warp reality for silly reasons, such as in the Endless Eight arc, where she creates an endless GroundhogDayLoop because [[spoiler:[[SeriousBusiness Kyon hasn't done his homework]]]].

Example feels more fitting for Arbitrary Skepticism,especially since half of the listed episodes involved things the "smart" characters assumed to be mundane turning out to actually be supernatural.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', supernatural creatures like ghosts and witches are openly real and more than one of Gumball's classmates are some kind of monster. However, in several episodes, including "The Curse", "The Poltergeist", "Christmas", and "The Wand", show that only stupid people or children attribute things to the supernatural.
