* AdvertisedExtra: The parody versions of Professor Xavier, Storm and Invisible Woman have a prominent spot on the poster and DVD cover, despite their roles in the film being minimal with mere minutes of screentime (in the case of Pamela Anderson's Invisible Woman {{Expy}}, she's TheCameo at most).

Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalPervert: When Rick first gets his powers as the Dragonfly, several hijinxs ensue - largely due to his new power giving him extreme grip on anything he touches. At one point, this humorously results in his hands landing right on the breasts of the school principal (played by Amanda Carlin). He tries to pull his hands off in a panic, resulting in her breasts stretching comically until he finally launches himself off. The only other shot of her shows her getting up in surprise, with the part of her shirt where Rick's hands were now ripped away.

Not by Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, it's actually from Craig Mazin and David Zucker, the creative team behind ''Scary Movie 3'' and ''4''. While ''Superhero Movie'' still relies on some of their gags, it can still be considered as good a quality movie as the ''Film/ScaryMovie'' series.
