I really love the Buddha's simplified definition of enlightment as the end of suffering. There is nothing superhuman in that ,is there? As a definition ,it's incomplete. It only tells you what enlightment is not; no suffering. Meanwhile what's left when there is no More suffering? The Buddha is silent on that ,and his silence implifies that you will have to research on own. He uses a negative definition so that it can not be into superhuman accomplishment. A goal that is impossible for you to attain. Despite this precaution, the majority of Buddhists still believe that enlightment is for the Buddha,not for them ,at least not in this world.
