Yes! In ASL, the same sign is often used for 'super,' 'great,' 'wonderful,' and 'awesome.' The exact English translation depends on the context of your sentence and the mouth movements you use while signing.
It can be signed with a single, strong forward push or a double, slightly smaller push. Both are correct! A single, larger movement often emphasizes that something is exceptionally super.
While you might occasionally see it done with one hand in very casual, relaxed signing, the correct and standard way to sign 'super' is with both hands. Using both hands properly conveys the enthusiasm and size of the word.
