Could I say he is the most superior man of all.
In other words, does "superior" has the superlative form?

Similarly, does "fundamental" have the superlative form?

thanks

I doubt that "superior" can take the superlative. Since it already means "the best," it wouldn't make sense to say "the best best."

I think "fundamental" could take the superlative. It means "basic," and one thing could be more basic than another... and so something could be the most fundamental of all things being considered.
