It really just means mythical capability. The superhero is capable of changing reality, largely without consequence. The superhero bypasses the bureaucracy, bypasses budget constraints, evades lawsuits. The superhero is capable of acting effectively in a manner that people wish they could. Whether superman (god level), The Shadow (magician), Spider-Man (demi-god level), Batman (supposedly human); the superhero has it's own rules and common constraints are largely ineffectual.
