I must say that I can understand why people would assume Superman would be weaker than he actually is; especially since restraint is a major part of his concept as a character.

But I think it's because he's surrounded by so many other characters of absurd magnitudes; Darkseid nearly destroyed the multiverse, Green Lantern can destroy planets and sometimes stars, several Justice League members can move the earth, and then you got broken characters like Doomsday or Mxyptlk who are theoretically unbeatable.

But with a franchise as massive as DC, Superman always has some low moments; especially with his massive list of weaknesses. DC officially declared kryptonite to be 'rare': BULLCRAP, every supervillain used it at least once.
