traditional American comic books didn't start until 1933, and the first traditional superhero not until 1938. There were characters with superpowers however prior to both 1938 and 1933.

Popeye (pre-spinach) had superhero strength and powers from his beginning in 1929, when he first appeared in Thimble Theater.

the Whiffle Hen (yes a chicken) gave Popeye strength and invulnerability.
