Many great men and women have come since the death of Nietzsche, are any of them fit to wear the mantle of Ubermensch? Please give examples if you think the answer is "Yes"; please give reasons if you think the answer is "No".

if there are would you be able to put aside vanity, insecurity,intellectual conceits etc. and see them for your better and be happy for them? i met a Jason Ravenwell once and the psi energy that surrounded him told me this hominid was not born of the same era as me though not a wrinkle or infirmity was apparent. having a little shamanic werewolferen in me I challenged his presence in my beloved town of Flint and his right to exist in my space-time. He was gracious and well mannered and if he ever comes back and has the sense to go to a proper Irish pub and not a wanna-be vampire bar I owe him a shot of the good stuff. So yes, ascended masters surround us little mortals and some even share our genetic matrixes, therefore behave!

There is no mantle for an Ubermensch. Ubermensch is not a static state that we achieve once. We don't just have to overcome ourselves once but many times. Zarathustra started out as Ubermensch as he descended the mountain and became "man" again. And everyone who overcomes himself or (herself ,though old Nietzsche might argue with me there) must "go under" and become just a person again.
Everyone who truly strives to do better at just about anything could achieve Ubermensch but it's not a permanent state.

I don't think so, because what's the difference between a confident man and an incompetant man who thinks he's competant? The difference is there's way more incompetant people than competant, and the result is the truely competant get overrun as a result of the arrogant's *********. A good article I read critiques Ayn Rand's philosophical version of the Ubermensch, Howard Roark. The article is more about architecture, but it gives you a good idea what I'm saying:

You cannot find the Ãbermensch by looking for him. He may only be found in an act of creation.
The Ãbermensch is a state of being. A way of life. Not a person, or a people, but a race in every sense of the word. A philosophy to be embraced or - as a true Ãbermensch might do - rejected for its better.
The Ãbermensch destroys everything and, seeing nothing, creates the world which will destroy him. He lusts for that end because in that destruction he will have obtained immortality.
Peace.

Nietzsche is just so anal as to be repulsive. The Teutonic wonder is just a pain. There ain't no superman. Never will be. No saviors, no wunderkind. Ain't so . Zarathustra was just a leather freak without a spa. We humans are gonna fly together, or crash together, but when the time comes to fly to our proper destiny, of owning this corner of the galaxy, or die as starving orphans., when that time comes, we are all going to do it together.
