All the interpretations work, although I think believing you have super powers is a definition of a mental disease.

Anytime I read anything about someone who plays/played a bad guy in a soap, they always mention getting abuse on the street about it. But I guess the perpetrators do watch soaps.

But I think all interpretations work.

You meant only mentally handicapped people would think they have superpowers, but what you actually wrote means that mentally handicapped actors have superpowers.

Yeah, I think most people, even kids know that the actors don't possess superpowers the heroes have. But I think some of the kids will expect that the actors have at least some of the good characters the superheroes have, like always ready to help people in need.
