While Odysseus is extraordinary strong, I don't think he qualifies as superhero. More like character from Westworld today.

And having read the odyssey, I think it is completely different then typical superhero story. It is much less good vs bad kind of story, much less focused on action and much less about showing off supernatural skills.

Odysseus himself needs help all the time. Most of the time is spent feasting and talking. Or crying. The action parts are relatively short.

I mean, it is completely different.
