Is the ideal 'Nietzschean man' that of a criminal?

Pirates, Mafiosi and other criminals all seem to share a Nietzschean outlook of freedom. What would/did Nietzche say about these types of men?

By the way, I'm not talking about the Superman, I just mean a present-day person who lives the Nietzschean ideal.

no no, He pointed out how limited and distorting words can be.
For Nietzsche there is only flux and chaos, which can be creatively forced into shape through individual will.

No, I disagree. Nietzsche valued such qualities as integrity, honesty and even kindness. I believe he would disgree with the lifestyle of the people you have mentioned.
