Wikipedia seems to say that there is not a single idea of what countries are superpowers. Some say that the US is currently (and since the end of the cold war) the world's only superpower. Some would say that the term "superpower" is not applicable any more. Wikipedia also gives a list of "potential superpowers", being "the countries (or political entities) most cited as having the potential of achieving superpower status in the 21st century" : " China India European Union Russia Brazil" This might answer the question.
