Morphology

superpowered = superpower (transparent) = super + power + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to the noun 'superpower', producing an adjective meaning 'having or endowed with a superpower'.

Etymology

Superpowered comes from the prefix super- meaning 'above' or 'extra' and the word power meaning 'ability' or 'strength', as you can see in superhero. So a superpowered person is someone with much more 'ability' or 'strength' than a normal person.
