The coherent emission of multiple atoms gives rise to superradiance, a cornerstone phenomenon in quantum optics with wide-ranging applications in quantum information processing and precision metrology. Despite its importance, how the superradiant scaling with respect to the number of participating atoms can be effectively controlled remains largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate a cavity-QED system and demonstrate that atom-photon coupling can significantly alter the emission behavior--suppressing the collective superradiant scaling while enhancing the scaling associated with individual atomic emissions. Our study provides a pathway toward controllable collective emission in state-of-the-art experimental platforms.
