in airsoft, the superman syndrome means that a player does not admit hits and continues playing. this is usually paired with “rambo”-meaning that a player does not cooperate with other members of the team and goes off by himself, just like rambo. this superman-rambo combo is probably the most annoying kind of player you can encounter on the field. they are hated by all and get kicked out of the game pretty quickly.
1: wtf?! i shot him at least 10 times and he just doesnt want to admit it!
2: guess he has the superman syndrome.
