Queen's Indian Defense

is queen's indian defense supposed to be a super hero?

No.

why does the picture show a heroine?

I'd say she is the Black Queen.

Stupid advertising.  You can't even play the Queen's Indian as a standalone defense.  You have to pair it together with either the Nimzo-Indian (3.Nc3 Bb4), Queen's Gambit Declined (3.Nc3 d5), or Modern Benoni (3.Nc3 c5), and you better have an answer for the Catalan (3.g3).  After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6, if White plays 3.Nc3, then 3...b6? would just demonstrate that the player playing the Queen's Indian has no clue why they are playing it.  It's only playable after 3.Nf3.  The reason is simple.

Why do you play 1...Nf6 in response to 1.d4?  To prevent e4!

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3, does White threaten e4?  NO!  Therefore, you can play 3...b6, intending 4...Bb7 or 4...Ba6, maintaining control of e4.

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3, why does Black play 3...d5 or 3...Bb4?  To prevent e4!  The former by adding another defender of the e4-square, the latter indirectly by pinning the attacker of e4, namely the knight on c3.

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 b6? 4.e4!! - Advantage White!

Do u feel like a superhero when u play the queens indian defense

Or not.  

That is correct.

In normal over-the-board games, that is quite correct.  However, the opening in question is played regularly in our group through preset starting positions.  There are 47 Queen's Indian Defense starting positions in chess.com's database that are used for our Vote Chess games, Team Matches, and Tournaments.

Opening discussions of this nature are enlightening and informative.  It is a pity, however, that it is held in absence of any practical method to test these ideas or put them into immediate practice.  The Queen's Indian Defense group and other similar opening groups afford the best of both worlds by providing a venue to discuss opening ideas while in the midst of an actual game.

No, but perhaps you may feel like a "superheroine" if you play it.

Below are the aforementioned starting positions.

Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov (born May 23, 1951) is a Russian grandmaster, former World Champion, and considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.  Karpov is the Queen's Indian Defense's most notable exponent.  His style is exactly like this opening: correct and safe with possibilities for active play. 

Correction, 49.

The Queen's Indian Defense (QID) is defined by the moves:

1. d4 Nf6

2. c4 e6

3. Nf3 b6

This opening is a solid defense to the Queen's Pawn Game, 1.d4. With 3...b6 Black increases their control over the central light squares e4 and d5 by preparing to fianchetto the queen's bishop. The opening derives its name from this maneuver.  As in other Indian defenses, Black attempts to control the center with pieces, instead of occupying it with pawns in a more classical style.

By playing 3.Nf3, White sidesteps the Nimzo-Indian Defense that arises after 3.Nc3 Bb4. The Queen's Indian Defense is regarded as the sister opening of the Nimzo-Indian, since both openings aim to impede White's efforts to gain full control of the center by playing e2–e4. Together, they form one of Black's most well-respected responses to 1.d4.
