Understanding Roles & Grant Options - Mailing list pgsql-general

I've been reading the documentation and I'm trying to understand what
'GRANT' options make up a 'superuser' in PostgreSQL.

I've got my account which is 'carlos' and then I have an account
called 'jason'. Can someone please explain the difference between the
two roles:

postgres=# \dg
            List of roles
 Role name |  Attributes  | Member of
-----------+--------------+-----------
 carlos  | Superuser    | {it}
 it        | Cannot login | {}
 jason | Create role  | {it}
           : Create DB
 postgres  | Superuser    | {}
           : Create role
           : Create DB

Obviously 'Carlos' is a superuser but what does that exactly entail
beyond CREATEDB & CREATEROLE?
