There has never been a Democratic nominee determined by Super Delegates. When Obama surpassed Hillary in voter/earned delegates, the Super Delegates previously supporting her did not override the people's majority choice.
Do you think if Bernie Sanders somehow surpasses Hillary Clinton and secures the required 2,383 voter/earned delegates that the Super Delegates at the Democratic convention would vote for Hillary and deny Bernie the nomination?
Delegates are not held to whomever they were delegated as far as popular vote is concerned, they can change as the end of the circus draws to an end. Many will not step off the plantation but some do.
And yes if Bernie gains the majority (I don't see that happening) I could see them defecting towards the anointed one in a heartbeat.
