I'm going to point you at Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. The protagonists are highly capable ordinary people who are trying to figure out why their society is falling into ruin; but the true heroes of the book are super normals who have decided that socialist ideology needs to come down, and will do whatever it takes. No masks, no costumes, no colorful names, but consider that you have an incredibly wealthy man posing as a playboy to cover up his revolutionary activities (who at one point is described as walking as if he had a cape streaming behind him in the wind), a philosophy turned pirate whose warships outperform those of any navy on earth, and a mysterious figure whose name has become a household word for despair and who has command of the most advanced technology on earth. Whatever you think of their cause, the literary method is right there.
