To possess superhero qualities or traits.

Get the Superheroescent mug.Superhero Fatigue is less about quantity and more about the kind of story being told vs. what audiences want to see. The problem is not that we have a handful of new superhero movies every year, but that they feel very similar to each other, and not in a good way. If the undeniable success of movies like Wonder Woman tell us anything is that audiences are starving for stories that break the usual pattern of superhero films.
Three patterns in particular that can be causing superhero fatigue are as follows: 1) Tone - sometimes you need the bleakness to make your point, as with dystopian novels. 2) Story - Superhero movies are often repetitive in the basic narrative structure they choose, giving us the feeling that we’ve seen that story before. 3) Characters - This is probably the core of superhero fatigue, since you can’t have a great range of stories when they’re always about the same people. Different identities bring in different perspectives and different ways to interact with the world.

“I'm hoping we'll start getting 'Superhero Fatigue here pretty soon,” Gamer On! said. “Not that I don't love the movies. It's just, come on guys, there are other stories to tell besides hyper-gonadal males without families doing death-defying things for two hours and wrecking cities in the process. It's like, oyster!”.

Get the Superhero Fatigue mug.When you get hit by 4 trucks, instead of just one, because the amount of caffeine in your system cloned you briefly and allowed you to get in the way of 3 extra trucks. Then you're superdead.

Get the Superdead mug.An illogical conflation of two adjectives (super & excited) to describe your emotional state when you are extremely hyped-up like a a six year old child on Christmas Eve. It is used mostly by immature celebrities and teenage girls to get their dopamine levels up when they don’t have access to any other alternative.
I can’t believe it; I’m just so superexcited that Justin Bieber is coming to open the new cookie shop in the mall.

Superman is a superhero because the yellow sun gives him incredible powers. Iron Man wears an armored suit with advanced weapons and abilities. Batman is the goddamn Batman.
