If it's possible to superheat water, why not superheat superconductors? If transiton to normal state does not occur, they will remain superconductive, right?

Superheating water takes intense pressures.
To raise a superconductor by 300 degrees without a phase change would take too high a pressure and who knows, it might not work anyway.

Your question is based on the belief that a superconductor has undergone a phase change in the first place which it has not.

I feel that a superconductor doesn't offer any resistance and so the same will not get heated unlike ordinary conductors which have some resistance. And if you try to heat by some other means than the passing of electricity, the electron structure gets disturbed and the superconductor will no longer be a superconductor.
