Also, the Randian superman does not exist and is a juvenile fantasy.

  "Also, the Randian superman does not exist and is a juvenile fantasy." I am not a follower or a fan of Ayn Rand but I really don't see any other category within which to place: Steve Jobs, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elon Musk ... perhaps even Donald Trump ? George Lucas ? They seem to fit the archetype ...

    Are they actually super? Do you really think they would have amounted to anything if they happened to grow up in poverty or with a poor education?

      Would Superman have amounted to anything if he hadn't been from Krypton, and if his father hadn't been a scientist who was able to put him on a spaceship and send him to Earth?

        Very good point. There's quite the level of priviledge to have a spaceship purpose-built to whisk you and only you out of a doomed planet.
