Super-zero

Characters who aren't heroes or anti-heroes because they really aren't heroic at all, or worthy of idolizing or redemption, and they also don't do only what a real person would or could do in the same situations, they go far beyond the pale. Truly un-relatable and unrealistic.

Scarface, Breaking Bad & The Sopranos main characters were all super-zeroes.

superheroness 

Superheroness is the quality of being a superhero. Levels of superheroness greatly vary and depend on courage and nobility and strength. Another aspect of superheroness is how good a person looks in tights...

People who have great amounts of superheroness are looked upon to carry the good fight and never back done in the face of overwhelming adversity or horrifying evil. People of superheroness protect the weak, help the forlorn and defend justice. People of superheroness are relied upon, principled and honourable people.

Superheroness has nothing to do with being nearly mugged.

Superhero Fatigue

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!”.

superhero

1. A being with extraordinary physical or mental powers, far beyond the range of normal human ability, who uses these powers to protect the innocent and for the general good.

2. One who is granted such powers by some external means, such as advanced technology or magic, and uses them with similar intent.

3. Batman.

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.
