Isn't one of the level names for the old school fighter literally 'super hero'?

Wait, you're not going to get drawn into an argument but you are going to make such an assertion at the end? [emoji854]

Not in 1e I don't think - Hero is in there somewhere, and they cap out at Lord/Lady.
I don't know the level titles in BECMI, it's entirely possible Super-hero is used there.

Superhero was the level 8 title for the fighting-man in original DnD. Actually, looking it up, it looks like it was kept for ADnD as well.
Somewhat related to level titles, does anyone use the old level titles to create NPCs? Like sometimes I create footpads and prestidigitators and swordmaster and then I have a number of NPCs to create an encounter with. It was more of a thing I'd do in 2e and, I think 3e, since 5e already has a number of NPCs already made up.

Ha ha good point. Amended.
In 1e (et al) you are a Superhero at F8, before you become a Lord at F9. It more refers to characters like John Carter of Mars or maybe Conan though, not The Hulk.

bot john and Conan would be and minimum Olympians in modern terms.
By Olympians you just mean Olympic athletes? Not the gods of Olympus?
I think they'd both be well over Olympic standard generally; there's a 3rd level Fighter Time Lost Adventurer NPC imc Jane Poole of Bognor Regis, who's noted as having been in the British Olympic Women's Fencing Team back on Earth.
