overman, Übermensch
I guess the German word would be enough in itself. Overman would be OK too, as any Google search demonstrates.
I just don´t think that the word Superman is going to do the job in the sentence: "The Germans are such Supermen."
"Nietzsche claimed that new values could be created to replace the traditional ones, and his discussion of the possibility led to his concept of the overman or superman."
