Superheroes can be quite challenging if you don't set the proper framework. It is best to onboard the team with an example to set the tone 'For example, Mark is Ironman! He is super rich, smart and resourceful. His deep knowledge on our field is both his Jarvis sidekick and his Nemesis blocking him thinking out of the box.'
The "Superheroes" activity is rarely used among Team O'clock teams. It seems that only a few teams use this activity for their retrospectives.
