Batman is a mortal man whose only super power is an obscene amount of money, and yet he's still categorized as a superhero.
Eh. People say that but heβs canonically in the same level of smarts as Luthor, Supes and Brainiac. He also has reaction times capable of hanging with supes and some sort of precognition (prep time)
Also if Luthor is a supervillain (never heard otherwise), then bats is definitely a superhero.
I'd say Darth Vader was a supervillain but it still doesn't feel right calling Luke a superhero...
