I think the answer depends upon how you define superpower. The internet suggests:

- "a very powerful and influential nation"

Based on this definition but stretched to include the EU, I think that currently we have: 

  1. EU
  2. USA
  3. China

In the long term I would expect to see India join that group. This is just based on population size. It could take another 50-100 years but eventually I think it will happen.

EU could slip away from the list if it breaks up. This is the main driver of Russia / USA-rightwing in pushing for Brexit and EU break-up.
