I believe the answer is:

screensaver

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

'in image on computer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'show superhero' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'screen' (screen can mean to show a film).
'superhero' becomes 'saver' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'screen'+'saver'='SCREENSAVER'

'say' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for screensaver that I've seen before include "what slide show may be used for" , "Damage-reducing program for computer monitor" , "appearance of idle display" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
