How can I become dominant over my cat?

No I’m not joking.
My kitten ( 6 months old ) has turned into a little monster. Anytime someone does something he doesn’t like he attacks claws teeth and all. Right now he is dominant in the house. I want to become dominant over him so he stops viciously attacking me. When he was smaller I thought he would grow out of it so I just punished him for biting and left it at that, but now he is older and his teeth almost break skin. If he continues this behavior my mom threatens to give him to someone else.
Water bottles have little effect on him. Talking to him in a stern sharp voice doesn’t work at all. Locking him in a cage doesn’t work it only makes him more vicious. And ignoring him just makes it easy for him.
How do I become dominant and train him to behave?
