While there may be some parallells, I think it's a stretch to claim she's a copy of Nietzsche. Neitzsche's focus was on the operation of societies, whereas Rand was more of a philosopher of the personal. For Nietzsche, the Ubermensch was an exceptional character, that deviated from the norm; Rand seems to be suggesting that we are all, when properly understood, Ubermenschen.
