In my opinion, the word "uber" became popular first in the MMORPG world. It's used to express something that is more powerfull than "cool". German people in MMORPG told me it mean superior, which is an adequate synonym of "uber" as we consider it.

"I found an uber sword!"

We don't really care about the real wording, or even the real significance of the word, it's just part of our lingo, as is "pwned" instead of "owned".
