This word should have the word “transcend” as its root, and it should describe humans who have improved intelligence and physical abilities (power, stamina, illness resistance, etc) by way of genetic engineering.
The dictionaries I checked didn’t have the answer, yet I remember seeing such a word in trans-humanism literature. Maybe “transcendient” or something sounding similar to it.
"Transhuman" (very closely related to the "trans-humanism" that you mentioned) may fit.
Transhuman or trans-human is the concept of an intermediary form between human and posthuman.1 In other words, a transhuman is a being that resembles a human in most respects but who has powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans.[2] These abilities might include improved intelligence, awareness, strength, or durability. Transhumans sometimes appear in science-fiction as cyborgs or genetically-enhanced humans.

The proper word is Transcendent. "He is transcendent or the transcendent one."
Transcendent: Surpassing others; preeminent or supreme.

Transhumanism is something of a niche subject and which is riffing of a resurgence of eugenics - people having forgotten what the last wave of eugenics thinking entailed.
It's a had a little bit of hype in the media but it seems very much a story of hype over hope. This is why you have found no such word in the dictionaries that you've looked at. It's simply not taken very seriously.
