Superman was first coined by Nietzsche.

Most superheroes were not really of or from an epic tradition. Other Iron Man and Bat Man not really from high society. The names tend to reflect something edgy about them or quirky about their powers, not so much anything glorious.

I find this thread quite interesting as a linguist btw.

with Nietzsche it was the "Übermensch". I would translate this as "superior man". you may argue it is the same as "superman", but I tend to differ
