Yes.  You still call Batman, Daredevil or The Phantom a super-hero, 
don't you?

BTW, the first Night Owl looks remarkably similar both to The Phantom 
(mask, hood and smile) and to Robin (scaled underwears, shirts).

They are still ruled out by the government.

Tell that to Gazerbeam, who even went as far as uncovering a password.

 From the get-go Mr Incredible is interested in the missing of 
Gazerbeam.  When he finally gets aware of Syndrome's plan, he goes 
investigating and enters the computer room where he finds about all dead 
heroes.

Mr Incredible is tortured and locked in prison.  Rorschach is -- ok, not 
tortured -- badly beaten by cops.

Still his allies.

Sure, I was pointing out the similarities.

You certainly can.
