Is Goku a superhero?

[The Cellmaster]

Does Goku count as a superhero?

 

[Beerus]

"A superhero is a heroic stock character, typically possessing supernatural or superhuman powers, who is dedicated to fighting the evil of their universe"

He isn't from earth like Superman.
He has superhuman strength and power like Superman.
He is dedicating to fighting and stopping evil like Superman.

So I guess you can say he is. However, in the DB universe, plenty of other beings and even earthlings are capable of training and learning powerful moves using energy as well as superhuman strength so I guess it depends on how you view him really. The only reason I would say no is because he is more so obsessed with fighting than saving people, he just happens to always be doing both. He is a Saiyan so it is in his "DNA" to be obsessed with strength and fighting.

Superman is also not from Earth, but from Krypton.

I guess I used the wrong words. I meant Goku and Superman are both not from earth. lol
Maybe I am not from America cause I don't know how to English.

Goku is basically the Japanese Superman, so yes

 

[Kid Goku]

i would define goku as a hero!
Him and most members of the dragonteam are heroes in my opinion!
not counting: Olong, lunch, Tien, Chiaotzu, Pre kami fusion Piccolo, Vegeta, Goten (most of the time) and kid trunks
