superhuman

"Superominico" rimanda al "superomismo" di Nietzsche, ma forse in questo caso basta tradurlo con "superhuman".

agree philgoddard : Can any native speakers explain the difference between this and superumano?

AFAIK, "superumano" is rarely used and can either mean "sovrumano" (superhuman as in "much greater and more impressive than those of an ordinary person") and "superominico" (superhuman as in Nietzsche's works). Apparently you only have one word in English
agree luskie : agree con il rimando a nietzsche e con la traduzione, ma in realtà io "superominico" non l'ho mai sentito e sospetto fortemente che sia soltanto una parola sbagliata che non esiste
