Get the hubermensch mug.The Ubermensch is Friedrich Nietzsche's answer to the problem of Nihilism. Nietzsche begins his premise with the assumption that God does not exist, and if God does not exist, thus objective morality and inherent value are not possible since there is no ultimate being that exists to create morality and value in the first place.
Nietzsche's Ubermensch will act as his own God, giving himself morality and value as he sees fit according to him alone. The Ubermensch is neither slave or master as he does not impose his will upon others. The Ubermensch is an independent individual who has the power to banish herd instincts from his mind and become a master of self discipline.
Above all, the Ubermensch is the next step in human evolution. Every human must deal with the question "What is the meaning of life"- some say God and Heaven, others say ultimate objective virtue, but the Ubermensch will give life value that is not based on superstition or mystical folly. The Ubermensch finds value in his life experience because it cannot be reasoned out through argument and logic. The Ubermensch would say that the meaning of life is that you die, so make it valuable.

The Ubermensch is the opposite of Jesus Christ.
The Ubermensch is the ultimate realization of the Will to Power, but no necessarily over others. His most valuable power is over himself. "He cannot rule himself will certainty be ruled by others"- Nietzsche

Get the Ubermenschin’ mug.The overman, for Nietzsche, did not and could not exist as a contemporary, since he saw himself as living in decadent times incapable of spawning ones who were capable of "standing security for their own destiny." Personally, i would suggest that the Overman would be one who could bear the horror of memory and cognizance of the present while simultaneously retaining the vigor and purpose of those who Nietzsche describes as nobles in "The Genealogy of Morals."
Examples are not helpful. German foot soldiers in WWI carried copies of "Thus Spake Zarathustra." The twentieth century bears witness to the idiocy of Nietzsche interpreters...

Get the Ubermensch mug."Nietzsche syndrome", also known as "ubermensch syndrome", is a psychological problem where a person without the capacity and talent to create value in a societal structure relies upon exaggerated self-worth and delusions of grandeur to prove to themself that their lack of success is a direct result of them being an "ubermensch". Other symptoms of this syndrome include a sense of entitlement, internalized misogyny, racism towards the races deemed weak, and inability to control one's emotions resulting in aggressive outbursts. The afflicted refer to themself as "ubermensch", "overman" or "superman" and everyone else as "the herd". The afflicted also refer to themself as "alpha male" or sometimes "sigma male" as most of the afflicted are male. The person afflicted with this illness usually relies on social safety nets for their day-to-day needs and fending for themselves in the real world can prove to be challenging and depressing for them.
