Morphology

supercow = super + cow (transparent) = super + cow

The humorous/superhero sense is a direct extension of 'super' applied to 'cow' (a cow with extraordinary powers).

Etymology

Supercow comes from super 'very' or 'above', the same 'super' as in superhero, and cow 'the animal'. So a supercow is a funny or fictional cow with hero-like powers, such as flying or great strength.
