Multiple choice general knowledge

I'm amazed that some authors have the audacity to simply make up new words. Friedrich Nietzsche is credited with coining the German word that, translated into English, became "superman". However, other translations were possible, such as "overman". Who is generally given credit for establishing "superman" as an English term?

  1. Oscar Wilde

  2. Winston Churchill

  3. Hank Stram

  4. George Bernard Shaw
