Super Hero. The Super is in capability and power, not in altruism or courage.
In fact, do any Super Heroes have the kind of altruistic “heroic responsibility” seen so far in the new and improved Harry Potter? Given their power, and what they could do, Super Heroes are less altruistic than most. Rather callous in their disregard for others.
Most of them are fairly courageous, but not really much more than an ordinary soldier. Again, they’re probably really less heroic than most. Courage is just the ability to overcome fear. I’d imagine that’s easier when you’ve motivated by saving the universe, instead of just saving one or two people.
A Super Hero is Super, and a Hero. Few are Super Heroic or Super Altruistic. Some really aren’t particularly heroic at all, and only just Super.

I’d say yes. Even with the super powers they have they still face more actual risk to themselves more regularly than any human. The authors throw supervillians, evil geniuses and kryptonite at them constantly. They also take more active initiative to seek out people that need saving, etc. Their failing isn’t a lack of heroic responsibility, just a lack of strategic intelligence and multiplication. Plenty heroic—just not competent!
