I wonder what would be needed to gain 51% hash power? How many super computers would that be?

>How many super computers would that be?

you're asking the wrong question. mainly because bitcoin mining is done with ASICs and not general purpose computers. I would be surprised if the bitcoin network hashrate isn't higher than all the general purpose computing power in the world combined (converted to double SHA256 hash rate).
