In his 1883 book Also Sprach Zarathustra, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) coined the term "supermen" (Ubermensch) to represent a higher biological type of human, one that transcended certain human morals as well as common human failings. He envisioned the superman to have physical and mental superiority, embodying a philosophy akin to those seen in the Italian Renaissance: a ruthless warrior who nonetheless possessed artistic brilliance. Nietzsche's concept of artificial selection was later developed as the study of eugenics.

In 1938, the term "superman" was applied to the sole Survivor of an evolved superhuman race on the planet Krypton, i.e. the comics character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
