A few short thoughts: first up, this come from German, so the proper form is "ubermensch", and is "uber" man. Second of all, the concept comes from Nietzsche himself, the bad boy of philosophy. The Nazis came a long, long time after that and most of the people miss the fact that the original idea had nothing to do with slave farms and killing in the first place. What the Nazis did was to take his theories and misinterpret them, sort of like the socialists did with communism in Russia (or Bush with Democracy, but it depend on your views, and I digress anyway). Can you become an ubermensch? It's a thing for TFP Philosophy really, but to keep it short and sweet: not according to either Nietzsche or the Nazis. Nietzsche pointed out that we are born as "ubermensch" and are enslaved by the weak. Come to think of it, how are you supposed to know if you are a natural born "ubermensch" or not? If you try to achieve the ideals, then I guess he'd say that you are one. The nazis added an ethnic element to the whole thing. If you're not Nordic, blond hair and blue eyes, you're outta luck. What you can do is strive to achieve some of the ideals, but I'd much rather become the "man of Renaissance" myself
