   The capitalized "S" at the end does tend to throw one off. However,   
   I've known for a long time that it is pronounced as one word. I   
   figured it was an odd attempt to make "super" a plural to show that   
   the rest of the inner senshi get their own "Super" power-up, so now   
   you have several "Supers".   
      
   Never the less, I will continue to say it as two words, Super S,   
   simply because saying it as "Supers" sounds so odd to me.
