In airsoft, the superman syndrome means that a player does not admit hits and continues playing. This is usually paired with "rambo"-meaning that a player does not cooperate with other members of the team and goes off by himself, just like Rambo. This Superman-Rambo combo is probably the most annoying kind of player you can encounter on the field. They are hated by all and get kicked out of the game pretty quickly.
1: WTF?! I shot him at least 10 times and he just doesnt want to admit it!
2: Guess he has the superman syndrome.

2. Same effect as 1, but for a different cause- being so sad that you lose your fear of bad things happening to you. Most commonly found in people with depression.

1: having the qualities of a fukboi akin to that of the ultimate bitch made fukboi named kal el (or however you spell his gay ass cunt filled name)

2: being of the state of mind in which one believes superman is god; and not actually the little fuck boi cunt whore fag that he is and therefore rides his dick in anyway, shape, or form. Therefore feeling the need to discredit real HEROS just because there favorite character is a fucking sheep fukboi who is the definition of basic.
