Superuser
In computing, the superuser is a special user account used for system administration. Depending on the operating system (OS), the actual name of this account might be root, administrator, admin or supervisor.
The principle of least privilege recommends that most users and applications run under an ordinary account to perform their work, as a superuser account is capable of unrestricted, potentially adverse, system-wide changes.
(In some cases, the actual name of the account is not the determining factor; on Unix-like systems, for example, the user with a user identifier (UID) of zero is the superuser, regardless of the name of that account; and in systems which implement a role based security model, any user with the role of superuser (or its synonyms) can carry out all actions of the superuser account).
Unix and Unix-like
In Unix-like computer OSes, root is the conventional name of the user who has all rights or permissions (to all files and programs) in all modes (single- or multi-user). Alternative names include baron in BeOS and avatar on some Unix variants.BSD often provides a toor ("root" written backward) account in addition to a root account. Regardless of the name, the superuser always has a user ID of 0. The root user can do many things an ordinary user cannot, such as changing the ownership of files and binding to network ports numbered below 1024.

Superzero
by: Shades ApartSo we meet again
I'm the one to call in
When the big shots in town
Let you down
I'm the last defense
I'm too dense for a weakness
No fear at all
Superzero, Superzero
At an all-time low
The only way to go
Superzero, Superzero
Last chance hero
Don't look so surprised
If I'm not in disguise
We'll get out of this shit
It's no sweat
I've got nothing to lose
What's a few more bruises
No fear at all
Superzero, Superzero
At an all-time low
The only way to go
Superzero, Superzero
Last chance hero
The bigger they are
The harder they hit
Look at these scars
Don't know when to quit
I'm seeing stars
I'll never admit it
No fear at all, no fear at all
Superzero, Superzero
Superzero
Superzero, Superzero
At an all-time low
The only way to go
Superzero, Superzero
Last chance hero
Last chance hero
Last chance hero
The last chance hero
