Don Quioxte, a Superhero?

So far from my reading of Don Quioxte, I've wondered if this novel was simply a representation of our everyday superhero. Is Don Quioxte a superhero? Lets do the math: Don has read nearly every book on chivalry and is definitely familiar with the history of knighthood. It's stated on page 138, "...I am a knight from La Mancha, named Don Quoioxte, and its my occupation and profession to wander the world righting wrongs and rectifying injuries." So there's a couple arguments for D.Q. representing a superhero. Now lets analyze why he isn't a superhero: He's always looking for a battle, and when he finds something or someone to interigate, he's often beatin' up or out numbered. He imagines things! On page 128, "And in this fasion he named many knights from the two hosts, which he was imagining, and for all of them he improvised armor, colors, legends, and devices, carried along by the imagination of his unheard-of madness, and without pausing he continued,..." Simply based off this argument alone, I am convinced that Don Quioxte is not a superhero but an 'imitation of an imitaion of a superhero.' An imitation of a superhero (as brought up in class) would be those such as: Batman, Spiderman, Superman, The Hulk etc...But as I continue reading, Don Quioxte appears to me as an imitation of another superhero.
