Comics like Heroes/4400 TV series??

[jamesjuhn]

Hi, I'm looking for comics where it features ordinary individual(or individuals) who discover that he has (or they have) extraordinary abilities - like in Heroes or 4400 TV series
Could you guys suggest some titles to me?

Please exclude the X-men series(I'm looking for something different from X-men although it fits into criteria) and JLA, Avengers or any other typical superhero comics where the hero already has the powers/abilities to begin with.

So far I've read :

John Woo's 7 Brothers
Mike Carey's The Stranded

Mini-series, or long running titles, I don't mind, as long as the main protagonist/s start off ordinary.

Rising Stars sounds like the book for you....
