I've never read them, but I gather that sf writer Stephen Stirling's series
of novel about South African Nazi racist supermen, the Draka, does
something like this. And one of Jerry Pournelle's spin-off series
glorifying combat apparently has the gene-engineered Sauron supermen who
luckily get defeated by the brave free normals (yeah, right). If anyone's
read these books, it might be interesting to hear how they fit into this
discussion.
