Comic-book or movie crime-fighter (9)

I believe the answer is:

superhero

(Other definitions for superhero that I've seen before include "lifesaver?" , "Captain America, for example" , "Fictional character with special powers" , "One possibly involved in saving" , "Eg, Batman; surer hope (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
