Until we have a 'master of the universe' category, super-hero will have to do for Sheng. He's the worst (and most powerful) mystic we've seen in quite some time in Glorantha.

Notice a trend in what gets you noticed as a superhero? Sartar didn't
do 'noticable' things. I'm not sure if he's a superhero, myself. But
he certainly is unusual. His roads are as good as the Conquoring
Daughter Whom I Cannot Pronounce The Name Of and more extensive. Was she
a superhero?
...she killed them, afterall.

...because he didn't kill them?
