I'm currently doing research into Gianni Vattimo a Nietzsche scholar 
and I thought this quote might be of interest. He states that 

"the Nietzschean idea of the superman" must not be "confused with 
some concept of  `hyperhumanity' in which the very features of 
bourgeois/christian subjectivity it intends to negate are simply 
magnified to the nth degree". (Vattimo, "Adventure of Difference", p. 
54.)

Cheers,

Justin Kennedy, Swansea University, Wales.
