superhero

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hours wasted with peer one with great powers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'hours wasted with peer' is the wordplay.
'wasted with' indicates an anagram.
'hours' anagrammed with 'peer' can make 'SUPERHERO'.

Can you help me to learn more?
