Nazi propaganda invoked Nietzsche's idea of an " Übermensch" ("superman") when it promoted the idea of a "master race." (Although they were distorting what Nietzsche meant by the term.)
Siegel and Shuster were two Jewish teenagers from Ohio who reacted to this by thinking, "If there were a "superman", why assume he would use his abilities to dominate others? Why wouldn't he help others?"
