In my opinion having a superiority complex is not a problem as long as you don't manifest it before your peers as this can turn into arrogance.
If it so happens that you are the superior kind in your group, then try your best to add real value to the whole team; don't just boast, help in solving the problems, and in case you have an opportunity to teach your juniors (in case they welcome it), then dispensing some of your wisdom to them will be an invaluable means advancing the team and yourself.
Knowing that you are superior can sometimes be a false belief if not backed by 'real' results, thus harbor this feeling with caution, but then it's very healthy to strive after it -- that's the hacker spirit in a way -- to be a master of the craft.
