hyperpowers
Globally dominant nations
Hyperpowers are abilities or capacities far exceeding normal human limits—the stuff of comic books and science fiction.
Superman has hyperpowers; ordinary athletes don't.
In geopolitics, a hyperpower is a nation whose dominance surpasses even superpower status: After the Cold War, the United States was often called the sole hyperpower.
