Here's an idea, based on a conversation that my dad and I had decades ago when I was a kid.
There already were "super heroes" in the VIIOR world. They just didn't wear costumes or go public. They are, as Norway suggests, ex-cops or ex-special forces, or ex-similar, and well-equipped. Basically, Batman without the fetishwear, and no interest in getting known for vigilantism.

...and my shoes began to squeak.
