You have all heard about the French silent film called "Judex" from 1916, about a caped crusader with underground headquarters, gadgets and all that stuff. He's a bit like Batman and The Shadow, but not really a superhero...
And you have probably read a lot about "Maciste". The Italian strongman played by Bartolomeo Pagano, from such movies as "Cabiria" and "Maciste in Hell". He's more Hercules than Superman.
But have you ever heard of "L'atleta Fantasma"? Or in English: The Phantom Athlete. It's an Italian movie from 1919. The main character is a rich guy who puts on a mask and fights evil. He's able to pick up grown men like they were infants, throw them across the room, hang on a rope with his teeth, break floors with his strength...
You can watch it here (French intertitles):
