There is a difference at least in degree among the martial heroes mentioned. For example, Harmast looks a lot more "constructive" in his approach than Harrek...

The difference between hero and superhero probably lies in the number after their Ws, which means it's a gradual scale anyway.
But, there are more pacifist "heroes" in Glorantha: eastern mystics. Nenduren spread an aura of peace around him that made people stop fighting. Mashunasan did destroy Oorsu Sara, but not through action. And looking at the hero-superhero scale, Harrek would not be able to harm him.
