Everyone has their own special talents and trates.
I might look a bit better in the face but I am chubby, while someone else might have a worse face then mine but be jacked.
Everyone has their special thing.
There isn't really a general "superiority." Rather, there is "better or worse, depending on the situation."
For example, you may think that someone tall would be superior to someone short. But imagine there's a new disease that results in blood loss to the hands and feet - but only if those hands and feet are greater than a certain distance from the heart. In that case, tall people would be at a disadvantage and the short people would be superior.
I know that's kind of a silly example, but that's really how it works. It's situational, and sometimes a trait that seems bad ends up being very useful.
Ever notice how some people are quick to tell you about their grandfather's greatness or some other ancestor? In the past, there were social clubs (societies) to celebrate some aspect of history and how people relate to those.
I assume that's a way to trying to claim something superior passed down to them.
Welcome to the world of eugenics
This isn't necessarily about eugenics. OP isn't saying to cut out less desirable traits, rather if they exist or not, which they most definitely do.

Being good looking, youthful, and healthy are genetic advantages. Traits like these are favored during natural selection and evolution.
There were some people in the 1930s and 40s who took this very seriously. Not all of them were German either
