'possible super exploits' and 'super worms' are terms that press would
love. but staying in reality - even now out there is worms that are 
capable exploiting several vulnerabilities at the same time:

W32.HLLW.Gaobot.AZ

The worm uses multiple vulnerabilities to spread, including: 

The DCOM RPC vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026) using TCP port 135 
The RPC locator vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-001) using TCP port 445 
The WebDav vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-007) using TCP port 80

no doubt, future worms are more and more capable exploiting several vulnerabilities
at the same time.
