A ‘zine for superhero fiction!
If you’re looking for a low-stakes way to get a short story (up to 6000 words) published, This Mutant Life might be worth looking into. You can see its submission guidelines here. “Stories which deal with the everyday lives of people with unusual abilities or physical characteristics are ideal, and there will be a definite preference given to stories which present interesting and well defined characters and situations.” The pay is extremely low, though.
UPDATE: A Thousand Faces is a quarterly journal that also specializes in superhero stories. You can see its submissions page here.
