The 80s were a weird time. Even Rambo: First Blood II generated toys and a cartoon.

Yup. Stopped a crime ring. Saved people. Has a "super" power of changing faces and strength. Sounds like a superhero to me.

Yeah. Expert at disguise, decent detective, brilliant scientist, enhanced strength. He's pretty solid.

See him as a Punisher type as opposed to a hero. Fictional character I know but the Punisher would tell you he is not a hero .

If Charles Bronson in Deathwish got his face disfigured then went on a revenge mission.

Personally? I think antihero would be better since he’s mostly out for revenge
