It's just a step removed. He's from an order of space wizards basically, similarly to how Harry Potter hails from an order for regular wizards. Both groups tend to qualify as superheroes for the most part, but are usually referred to by the subgroup, as opposed to the more general categorization.
Another more traditional, yet similar example, would be the Green Lanterns or Marvel's wizards. Space wizards and regular wizards respectively, but clearly superheroes due to hailing from well-known purveyors of superhero media. Structurally and mechanically similar, though.
Green Lanterns are space paladins. They aren't magical themselves but are selected by, dedicated to, and empowered by godlike being that predate the current multiverse.
