I think Toni being a superhero is in his imagination because that is his definition on what being a hero is. It didn't matter to him if doesn't any powers because for him what he's doing is enough to be a superhero.

Toni did not have superhero abilities because the author does not want to include violence in the book. Since , this book is a children's book the author polished Toni's character in a suttle way rather than attacking villians.

Toni doesn’t have superpowers in reality because that was not the motive or message being communicated.

I was surprised Toni didn't have superpowers but I think the author is trying to tell children another thing. The book portrays the act of kindness which makes one a superhero.
