The super-powered hero is raised by normal human foster parents, sometimes unaware of his true heritage until his abilities manifest. This can be used as an open plot device for a Luke, I Am Your Father later in the series. Though they might not get combat training or magic instruction while hidden, they usually find out Upbringing Makes the Hero. This is a frequent trope in mythology. If the foster parents are not called the child's mother and father, they are frequently their aunt and/or uncle. This is a throwback to older times, where children whose parents died were often adopted by the parent's brother. Don't expect them to live too long once they've served their purpose, and their "offspring" might not be terribly grief-stricken either. On the other hand, if they are still around into the hero's adulthood and you are stupid enough to threaten them, it's not going to end well for you. See Tell Me About My Father, can be Happily Adopted. Contrast Muggle in Mage Custody, Raised by Orcs, Turn Out Like His Father, and Raised by the Supernatural. See also Changeling Fantasy and Raised by Natives. |

Tokyo Ghoul Ikuma Momochi, a reoccurring character in the side novels. After her own child died, Mrs. Momochi encountered a female Ghoul fleeing Investigators and the two women traded babies to save his life. She used her position as a doctor to steal flesh for him to eat, and created a fake record of him having severe food allergies to prevent anyone from learning about Ikuma being a Ghoul. The novels also subvert this with the Utsumi family, featured in the second novel. A wealthy human adopted a pair of orphaned ghoul siblings, but only because he was a Serial Killer that used them to carry out his crimes. He fully intended to have them take the fall for it, should the crimes ever be exposed. Even so, Koharu loved her adoptive father very much and struggled with guilt over helping in his crimes. Matasaka "Shachi" Kamishiro reveals that he was raised and trained in the martial arts by a human. |

The Dogfather is a Harry Potter What If? fic where an infant Harry is placed in foster services and Happily Adopted to a Muggle couple, whose positive influence and close ongoing interest in his Hogwarts life cause major changes to the plot of the books. Harry corrects anyone who calls him Harry Potter and, much less politely, anyone who implies that the MacIntyres are anything less than his real parents. | |

Subverted in Heroes, where Claire's foster adoptive dad is an incredibly badass secret agent, whereas her superpowered mother is a regular woman who lives in a trailer. Though her real dad is a flying incredibly wealthy politician. Sylar is later revealed to have been adopted by Muggle relatives. His real father has a similar power to him, which makes him just as Ax-Crazy as he is and caused him to murder Sylar's mother. |

Supergirl Fred and Edna Danvers were the adoptive parents of Pre-Crisis Linda Lee Danvers/Kara Zor-El and Secret Keepers for her role as Supergirl. Post Crisis Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers - two agents of the D. E. O. (Department of Extra-normal Operations), a Government agency created to deal with and neutralize alien threats- became Supergirl's foster parents in Supergirl (Rebirth). They helped Kara understand Earthlings and adapt her new home-world. At the beginning of Bizarrogirl, Kara wants to be adopted by Lana officially. |

Pratchett's Discworld has Carrot Ironfoundersson, born human but raised by dwarves; he is in fact the legitimate heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork. He doesn't claim the title, though: he doesn't want the job, and there's a good chance Vimes would literally have his head if he did. It's the biggest Open Secret in the city. Somewhat applicable to Wee Mad Arthur as well, as he's a Feegle who was carried off by a bird of prey as a toddler and was adopted by gnomes, who found him lying beside its strangled carcass. Although too much the Feegle to ever be The Cape, his pictsie strength and aggression made him an important defender of the gnome community until his move to Ankh-Morpork. |

In the Golden Sun series, Ivan was surrendered by his family to the merchants who founded Kalay to ensure his eventual destiny, and Sheba is a foundling who was Happily Adopted by the town leaders of Lalivero. One side effect for Ivan is that no one ever taught him reading minds is rude, causing him to develop a bad reputation for knowing everyone else's secrets. Amiti of Dark Dawn counts as the "raised by uncle" type, though Paitos's "Muggle" status is uncertain — one line he has suggests that he is a very weak Venus Adept. |

His parents remain oblivious to Zac's status as a merman for the run of the show, but in the final episode, Zac (reunited with his biological mother) declares his intent to tell them the full truth. | |

Deconstructed in Supreme Power. The U.S government attempts to invoke this with Hyperion in an attempt at turning him into an obedient, All-American metahuman weapon, by making two agents raise him together as their adopted child. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Not only does Hyperion realize what's going on by the time he's a teenager, as his enhanced senses mean that they can't effectively hide the surveillance, but it's also heavily implied that the agents not only don't love him as a son, but are actually afraid of him and his powers, and are only following orders. | |

Majokko Meg-chan not only had a muggle foster family (except for the mother, Mami, who was also a witch): she actually had no concept of family life herself being a witch from a realm where families don't exist. The focus of the show is Meg learning what a family is like. Mami, the motherly ex-witch and Parental Substitute, uses what remains of her magical powers to make people believe that her protegèe is her biological daughter, including her own husband and biological kids. | |

InCryptid: Johrlac, also known as "cuckoos", leave their babies with unassuming human families, where the infant's subconscious telepathy convinces them that it's their own child. Once their powers fully manifest at puberty their Genetic Memory/Ghost Memory "hatches", imbuing them with the Johrlac species' cultural memory, and the knowledge of what they are. This usually makes them (from the human point of view) temporarily Go Mad from the Revelation and murder their human family. When they resurface, they're fully aware of their own telepathic abilities, and their status as an ambush predator. | |

The fact that said daughters are both combat cyborgs that his late wife rescued from an illegal research facility on the other hand... | |

Lloyd Irving in Tales of Symphonia was raised by a Dwarf, unaware that his mother was involved in experiments to create Cruxis Crystals (crystals that turn people into Angels) and that his father really is an Angel. Rumors also claim that Colette's real father, Frank, is really a Muggle Foster Parent and Colette's real father is an angel. Angel Remiel tells the party that Colette is not the daughter of an Angel but simply a human chosen to become the new host for Martel, and that he never actually said he was her father and just played along since they assumed it was so. | |

To a degree, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED does this with Kira Yamato's adoptive parents Haruma and Caridad, though Caridad is actually his maternal aunt. He was created to be the perfect human, with capabilities beyond the reach of anyone else. But it was his adopted parents who raised him in a neutral nation, making him a peaceful and kind young man, rather than a weapon for war. | |

In the Gargoyles AU fic "Guardian of the People", while Elisa Maza is a gargoyle rather than a human, she was raised by the Maza family after the rest of her gargoyle clan died out before her egg hatched, her mother passing the egg on to the Mazas and suggesting her name before she died. | |

Agatha from Girl Genius was raised by people she knew as Adam and Lilith Clay, and she referred to them as her parents, but it was later revealed that they were the Heterodyne Boys' construct sidekicks, Punch and Judy (not quite Muggles, but pretending to be), and the famous Bill Heterodyne was her real father. She still treats them like her parents and is enraged when Von Pinn curtly dismisses their destruction at her hands. | |

In Animorphs, Tobias is raised alternatively by an aunt and uncle who live on opposite sides of the country; neither was very good at it. An odd example of this trope, because while Tobias has a supernatural origin (his father was an alien who Shapeshifter Mode Locked himself as a human) he was in every other way a Muggle himself before the series begins. | |

In The Wheel of Time, Rand is found by Tam al'Thor on a battlefield, and Tam decides to take him home to his wife Kari to raise as their son. Tam isn't completely a muggle however. He is a skilled swordsman and Rand uses basic techniques Tam taught him to survive his first brushes with baddies before he can get more training. Also subverted in that it appeared Tam was going to be a Death by Origin Story, but he survives and becomes an active member of his hometown's resistance fighters and has a heated confrontation with Rand in book 12 that leads to Rand having a My God, What Have I Done? / Epiphany Therapy moment. | |

In The Sword of Truth, Richard Cypher is kind of raised by a muggle foster father in the non-magical land of Westland, and although his mother is his real mother, she's also non-magical. It's only much later that he finds out that the Big Bad who is a powerful wizard, is his father and that the 'friend' he's known all his life is actually his grandfather and a powerful wizard as well, which is where he gets all his awesome wizard powers from. Since magic is passed down by familial lines, and Richard is explicitly said to have inherited magic from both the Rahl and Zorander sides of his family, it's very probable that his mother did have magic, but there doesn't appear to be direct evidence either way. |

In the background story of Warhammer 40,000, the Primarchs (bio-engineered Super-Soldier sons of the God-Emperor of Man) were scattered across the planets of the galaxy in their childhood. While some were forced to fend for themselves on these planets, many more found themselves in the care and protection of normal human foster parents. The way they were raised differed from person to person; people like Roboute Guilliman, Vulkan, and Magnus had rather loving foster parents, while people like Angron and Mortarion had cruel parents who treated them like slaves. Eventually the Emperor would find all of his superpowered sons and take them home (with varying degrees of cooperation). | |

Inko and Hisashi Midoriya both possess a Quirk, a natural superpower possessed by 80% of the population, but that makes them "normal" in a world where 90% of people have superpowers. They also become the loving foster parents of their wayward Kryptonian son Izuku, raising him into a Hero Fan Boy with a heart of gold and a desire to save others like his idol, All Might. Then it's subverted when Hisashi is revealed to be one half of Firestorm. | |

Child of the Storm: The Grangers turn out to be this for Hermione, whose biological parents are Wanda Maximoff and John Constantine - since it was at the height of the first Wizarding War, Wanda had all the enemies she'd made as Apprentice to Doctor Strange, as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and as the daughter of Magneto, and that's before one gets on to Constantine's enemies, it's not surprising that she had real reason to doubt that Hermione would live beyond infancy. And, of course, the usual examples of Clark and the Kent family, and Harry and the Dursleys (at first). Needless to say, one is considerably more positive than the other. It turns out that Clint Barton's mother had a case of this, being the daughter of Minerva McGonagall and Bucky Barnes, and winding up being raised by the parents of a certain Jonathan Kent. |

Pictured above: Superman was raised by the Kents in Smallville. In an Alternate Universe named The Nail, he was raised by Amish and didn't become Superman, but was a simple Amish farmer. By the end of that issue, his Amish parents were brutally killed in front of him, almost causing him to cross the Despair Event Horizon. The Kents take him in, and this is how Superman was "born" in that particular AU. In Superman: Red Son, after landing in the USSR, Superman was raised in a collective farm in Ukraine rather than in Russia, which later causes Supes to become a reluctant Evil Overlord (after a brief, but concise, and perfectly timed written Breaking Speech from Lex Luthor, he winds up pulling a Heroic Sacrifice actually faking his own death and taking on the Clark Kent identity to live a quiet life in secret), as mentioned above. And in Superman: True Brit, he's raised by British nitwits to become one himself, resembling John Cleese (who co-wrote the story). |

He thought of himself as one until his long-lost brother told him of his alien origins and how he was sent to Earth on a mission to destroy humanity and take over the planet to sell for profits. The reason for him being on Earth was retconned in Dragon Ball Minus as his parents Bardock and Gine willifully sent him to Earth in order to save him from the destruction of Planet Vegeta at the hands of Frieza. |

ElfQuest: Wavedancers has Wavelet, who was raised by humans from infancy. Being an elf, the "adopted" part was rather obvious, though her being one of the few treeshapers, she became very respected by the tribe that raised her as "good spirit of plenty". | |

In Charmed, Paige Matthews was given to normal parents after her birth and didn't know her true heritage until her powers started manifesting in her early twenties, thanks to a spell Piper had cast to bring Prue back awakening her powers instead. | |

In Merlin., this applies to the Uther and Morgana relationship, until season 3. Then we find out Uther IS Morgana's father as he had an affair with her mother, though he isn't a sorcerer either. | |

In Sailor Moon, Usagi's parents were her biological parents; but she also had a moon ancestry through Reincarnation. However, it comes closer to the description with her daughter Chibi-usa who (not knowing them to be her Grandparents and Uncle, at least not in the anime) hypnotized Usagi's parents and brother into thinking that she (Chibi-usa) was their niece and cousin. Chibi-Chibi is probably closest, in the anime she's not related to Usagi at all, and hypnotizes her Mother into thinking she has a second daughter; she does the same in the manga but there she is, apparently, a disguised version of Usagi from an alternate future and so is related to Usagi's family. | |

Glass Fleet's Vetti and Cleo were raised by these. Cleo was raised by his father's right hand man, while Vetti was raised by former subjects of his father's, who weren't so nice to him. | |

Subverted in the '80s cartoon Wildfire, in which our heroine is a mystical princess from another dimension being raised on Earth by a Muggle foster father... who, it turns out, is her father, brainwashed to think he comes from Earth. | |

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "True Q" involved a similar scenario for Amanda Rogers, except that her biological parents were self-depowered Q living as humans, although her subsequent adoptive parents fit this trope. | |
