superman (Übermensch)-

Who- Nietzsche

What – goal for humanity to set for itself. a human who has battled modern values and overcome the flaws of humanity. Superman, according to Nietzsche has reached a state of being where he is no longer affected by "pity, suffering, tolerence of the weak, the power of the soul over the body, the belief in an afterlife, the corruption of modern values.” He determines what is good and what is evil, not allowing religion or society to determine these things for him.

When - 1883ish

Where- Germany and first found in nietzsche’s book zarathustra.
