Rach El | 6 comments it's a book series. I don't remember exactly how many books there were. Basically in each book there's a teen that discovers their superpower for instance; a girl having the ability to stay under water for a long period and also a boy producing electricity from his hands or something.
They were all connected somehow. there was also this guy ( from a secret organization i think) who was trying to kill or kidnap those teens.

thank you for any assistance!

The night Russ Becker witnesses a strange astronomical event, his world changes forever. Before long Russ discovers he's developed incredible superpowers, and he’s not the only one. Three other young people—beautiful Mallory, arrogant Jameson, and mysterious Nadia—have had the same experience and all of them now have powers of their own. Mallory can control peoples’ minds, Jameson moves objects with his thoughts, and Nadia has empathic abilities.

At first the four relish their newfound gifts, but things become serious when they learn they are being hunted by an organization that wants them for its own nefarious purposes. When Russ’s family is threatened, he’s forced into action. What transpires will change all of them in ways they never imagined.

I don't think that's the one. As far as i know they were normal teens before; their abilities just randomly appeared.
thank you though :)

Marie | 273 comments Kelley Armstrong's Darkness Rising series

This is from The Gathering, the first of the series:

...Last year, we’d timed her at a swim meet and she’d stayed under for five minutes before the coach ran over and made her stop.

Lost of teens have superpowers. I think I remember another character being able to shock people unconscious so that might be the electricity thing you're thinking of. They are being hunted by a big corporation that does experiments on people
