Superheating water can absolutely fuck you up. Steam is like 700 times less dense than water so what happens is a steam bubble forms inside the superheated water at a nucleation point and explodes the water out of the cup since what used to take up 1ml of space now takes 700ml of space.
It might not splash out every time but it happens often enough to make superheating water extremely dangerous.
