Mm. Something to include in 1997:
Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Plot by Joanne Rowling is released. The first book in the wildly-successful Harry Potter series, it tells the story of the orphaned child of a pair of metahuman heroes, raised ignorant of his heritage by his anti-meta relatives. When his own powers manifest on his 11th birthday, Harry finds himself whisked off to Charles Academy for Metahuman Children (a thinly-disguised stand-in for the IST Academy), where he learns the truth about his history -- and learns that his parents' arch-enemy is still alive and has targetted him.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
