Right now? Slim, but nonzero.
The use of the atomic bombs in WW2 left a lasting impression and has encouraged leaders to step back from major power wars. But as more and more small and unstable nations acquire nuclear weapons, the odds that one or more might be ruled by unstable individuals willing to use them (and trigger wider usage) is growing.
Iran and North Korea are extremely concerning. Iran is ruled by religious fanatics, and North Korea is ruled by despots who are crazy in their own right. Whatever our disagreements with China or post-Stalinist Russia, their rulers aren't insane and aren't going to launch nukes out of spite or religious fervor
Still, with the Cold War in the rear view mirror, the world is less on the brink than in the past.

Which countries were considered superpowers after world war 2?
Democracy (aka the Free World) and Communism combined to defeat Fascism in World War 2. It was only natural that these two ideologies should become adversaries after the war. The USA and USSR emerged as the two most powerful countries on the winning side, so they became the global superpowers for the next four decades. * The rivalry between the USA and USSR is long and complicated, and they became superpowers as a result, with Great Britain and France remaining as world powers for Democracy, and the People's Republic of China emerging as a world power for Communism. * In the postwar years, a country could not be a world power without a nuclear arsenal, which is why the five countries named above became the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Today, many other countries have nuclear weaponry, but they are not world powers, let alone superpowers.
