Hamza Riaz of Mic Cheque deemed it as one of the 'bone-chilling cuts' and best tracks from Heroes & Villains, although also writing that 'When there is a new voice, they are shoehorned onto a disconnected strand of a track that would've benefited without it', bringing up the song as an example. The song received generally positive reviews from critics. The song also contains a sample of rapper Jay-Z's line about living 'long enough to see yourself become a villain' in ' So Appalled' by Kanye West (which is a reference to Harvey Dent's quote in the film The Dark Knight).

'Superhero (Heroes & Villains)' is a trap song that features 'pummeling 808s and muted horns' in the production, over which Future raps in his 'customary, chant-like flow', and style similar to 'the days of DS2' In the latter portion, the instrumental 'fades into somber synths', for 'distorted melodies' from Chris Brown, who sings about people who do not want to see him succeed. The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was produced alongside Allen Ritter and David X Eli. ' Superhero (Heroes & Villains)' is a song by American record producer Metro Boomin, American rapper Future, and American singer Chris Brown, from the former's second studio album Heroes & Villains (2022).
