Super Heroes is the family ship between Kel and Hero from the Omori fandom.

Canon

Both in Headpsace and in the real world, Kel and Hero are shown to have a very close brotherly relationship. As the elder of the two, Hero almost always assumes the role of the responsible one, most notably mediating fights between Kel and Aubrey, which always happens in the story's game. The two have a true brotherly relationship though. Kel is shown to respect Hero and possibly admire him. The two like to compare their heights. Their friends often say "brotherly love", referring to them.

In comparison to Kel, Hero is also shown to be a high excellent student, holding several awards and pursuing a career as a doctor. Kel does not appear to be resentful of his brother for this, but he has expressed jealousy of his brother's talents, such as calling him a "show-off" when Hero played Mari's old piano. He is determined to "win" against Hero in a variety of situations, such as being the taller brother or participating in physical competitions such as arm-wrestling. Kel can get frustrated if he loses in these competitions, but he and Hero always make up in the end. As Kel grew his relationship with Hero grew more and it was almost like they drifted when Mari died.

Kel was worried about his brother and missed spending time with him when Hero became severely depressed for almost a year after Mari's death. However, he seemed to want to give Hero time to grieve, simply offering to take care of his brother when he could. Kel attempted to make Hero feel better almost a year after Mari's death, seeing that he was still depressed. As a result, Hero lashed out his anger at Kel until they both cried. Hero embraced Kel and apologized repeatedly after coming to his senses. Despite the fact that Hero has returned to school and is more active, Kel believes his brother is still somewhat closed off. However, once Hero returns from college, they continue to hang out together and are just as friendly.

Both brothers are finally in good terms with one another thoughout the game and with Mari gone, they're mostly the ones who comfort their other friends when there's a quarrel between their friend group. As can be seen in their old hangout spot when Aubrey was apologizing for pushing Basil on the lake.

Fanon

Super Heroes is a popular familyship in the fandom and it's mostly shipped along with SunMari since both characters are also siblings. It's also very disliked in the fandom when it comes to romanticizing the two brother's relationship. Some shippers would also like to add their little sister, Sally, to make the siblings complete in one familyship.

Most fanfics and comics about them are wholesome and being in good terms with each other, despite everything that happened in the story. They have currently 130+ gen stories on AO3 and it's the second most popular familyship behind Sunny and Mari.
