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:
- EU
- USA
- 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.
