Regular ghouls have incredible healing powers and the Red King basically did something similar when Harry amputated his arm. So none of the abilities displayed by the super ghouls is really unprecedented - the strength of their powers is just amplified.

I figured it was a call out of sorts to the classic troll, which can only be killed by fire. everythign else heals in minutes :)

Yeah, the whole "proto-creature from the dawn of time and darkest depths of human memory" vibe really suited the super ghouls.
Since multiple sources indicate that there is an almost endless amount of odd places/creatures in the Nevernever and since we mostly only see those that are close to the mortal world (and only a small portion of those even) I never really had any reason to look any deeper into the origins of the super ghouls.
I do really hope that we find out how in the hell Cowl managed contact and control such ancient powerful creatures though. Eb pulling the Kenku out of his arse is the only other example we have of wizards summoning or leading really exotic and cool beings from the Nevernever.

What about Binder? the minions he summoned weren't that powerful but (IMO) were certainly exotic and cool.
knnn:
There was also the guy who summoned the spiders on the island.
