Generally, there are two options, which are explained in TV tropes:

I Just Want to Be Normal - the superpowers are "regular", but they interfere with character's way of life.
It Sucks to Be the Chosen One - the superpowers may not be so "super", but they are exceptional, and come with greater responsibility. The stakes are higher. Entire world may depend on character's success, and he or she may die in the process.

There are other ways to show the character as a reluctant hero, like Han Solo, who is a morally ambiguous antihero at first, but I think they are less applicable in your case.
