For the powers of superheroes, see Superpower (ability). For other uses, see Superpower (disambiguation). Superpower is a term used to describe a state with a dominant position, which is characterised by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. This is done through the combined-means of technological, cultural, military and economic strength, as well as diplomatic international relations and soft power influence.
