In Freudian theory, there are three parts to the personality: the Id, the Ego and the Superego.

The Id is the part you were born with that seeks pleasure and avoids pain.

The Ego is the part that makes decisions based on comparisons of what the Id wants and what the Superego requires.

The Superego is the part that makes moral judgments based on social ideas of what is good or right.

Do serial killers have super ego?

"super ego" is a Freudian concept. Freud saw the super ego as the part of the psyche that limits behavior to meet social norms. He would probably argue that serial killers have a weak or missing super ego. That said, super ego was a purely hypothetical concept. Freud concocted the idea in an attempt to explain/understand the behavior of his patents. So there's no way of telling who has or doesn't have one.
