the.com/superhero

means A fictional hero with extraordinary powers (or extraordinary gadgets and willpower) who uses them to protect others, usually in a cape and usually against someone monologuing.

from Simple sum of 'super' (Latin 'above, beyond') plus 'hero' (Greek 'hērōs,' a protector or warrior of legendary courage). The compound surfaces in early 20th-century pulp writing, but it exploded into the language with the comic-book boom of the late 1930s — Superman landed in 1938 and basically made the word mandatory.
