An aside... The comic-book hero [|Superman] was originally a villain modeled on Nietzsche's idea (see "[|The Reign of the Super-Man]"). He was re-invented as a hero, bearing little resemblance to the previous character, though still one with a dubious morality. Only as the series progressed did Superman become a wholesome, morally upright figure.
