A supervillain would enslave humanity instead, then rule with a titanium fist, ruthlessly eradicating any humans whose actions could conceivably increase the probability of nuclear war.

Have you by any chance read Watchmen?

Yes, but the character you're thinking of acts more like a classical supervillain. He is a good example of things working out well with that sort of mentality... although we don't really know how things turn out in the end, so maybe he's not a perfect example.
