Woman’s embraced by awful poseur – one with special powers (9)
I believe the answer is:
superhero
'woman's embraced by awful poseur one with special powers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'woman's embraced by awful poseur' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'embraced by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poseur' with letters rearranged gives 'supero'.
'her' inserted inside 'supero' is 'SUPERHERO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for superhero that I've seen before include "Fantastic character" , "really great guy" , "Her poseur (anag.)" , "Batman, say?" , "lifesaver?" .)
