"Superhero" is a relatively recent coinage. The ancient Greeks considered the mythological Herakles both a hero and a demigod, but didn't really have a word for "superhero".

Both DC and Marvel have a character named "Hercules." Both of them would probably qualify (the DC one was apparently at least somewhat villainous in his backstory, but had reformed by the time stories about him started).
