Frodo is the perfect example of Nietzche's Ubermensch because just like an Ubermensch he has “a new beginning...a self-propelled wheel”. When the rings is placed under Frodo's care his life changes drastically, and just like an Ubermensch his values change as he sets out to save Middle earth from the darkness of mount Mordor.
Gandalf is another Ubermensch whose “spirit now wills his own will, and he who had been lost to the world now conquers the world.” He was betrayed by his master wizard and now he has the opportunity to go on without someone controlling him.
