Why did cold war start super powers?
I think you are getting it back the front. After World War Two there were two major world powers - the USA and the Soviet Union. Both had been very distrustful of each other before the war, but were allies during the war due to a common enemy. In the post war era both sides went back to their mutual mistrust. Since the war had changed the balance of power in the world, both sides feared the other side, thinking they would try to expand their influence and possibly overthrow them. This led to the cold war. So the presence of two superpowers led to the cold war, not the cold war leading to two superpowers.... in fact the cold war finally led to the collapse of one of the superpowers (USSR)

Why did the cold war never turn in to world war three?
M.A.D- mutually assured destruction. Since both Superpowers (USSR and USA) had a nuclear weapon, they knew that if one will attack the other, both atomic bombs would have been fired and they would have destroyed the world. Therefore, they fought in Arm race, Space race and Proxy wars (wars fought by smaller countries on the behalf of the superpowers). Also, in the Cold war there were no actual fighting between the USSR and the USA. Hope it helped :)
