superheroic
Beyond ordinary courage
Superheroic describes qualities associated with superheroes—extraordinary courage, strength, or moral conviction beyond normal human capacity.
The word applies to both fictional characters with superpowers and real people performing remarkable feats: a superheroic effort to rescue survivors from the rubble.
It can be sincere or hyperbolic, depending on context.
