Back in the Silver Age someone noticed that the Legion of Super Heroes had more members than its charter allowed and were looking for a valid reason to pick out who would have to leave. Part of that debate centered around members Superboy and Supergirl (visiting members from different parts of the 20th century to the 30th) having the same powers, because the same charter forbid duplicate superpowers (they changed Lightning Lass to Light Lass because of this rule). The point was also raised that Superboy's powers were essentially the same as both Mon-El (except that he was vulnerable to lead instead of kryptonite) and Ultra Boy (who had the same powers but could only use one at a time; couldn't be invulnerable while flying under his own power, for example).

At roughly the same time they "cleaned up" their continuity yet again, doing away with Superboy as a member of the LoSH. Since they needed someone to fill in for Superboy, they created Mon-El.

One of my favorite, both because I'm a Rob Liefeld Stan (no regrets, still my favorite artist/creator) and I was a huge fan of Image back in the 90s, is Supreme, who literally has all of the powers of Superman but with the word "supreme" attached: strength-supreme, speed-supreme, supreme vision, etc. He also had a slightly more realistic explanation, if you dive into theoretical physics. Supreme was exposed to exotic matter as a child, so his body is profuse with exotic energy/matter and this lets him do stuff like fold space to teleport (i.e. a wormhole) and stuff and fly faster than light by creating a warp field. And yes, by the way, in theoretical physics there is a basis for this.

He was originally part of a JLA pastiche/homage in Avengers called the Squadron Sinister - villains from an alternate Marvel Earth based on the JLA. Somewhat later the concept was re-used, but this time they were the Squadron Supreme and they were heroes from another alternate Marvel Earth. In fact, in JLA/Avengers, Hawkeye actually called the JLA "Squadron Supreme Lite".

I've written my own in the form of "Midnight", though there's a dash of She-Ra tossed in (the alter ego uses a magical transformation), and all of the powers are themed to look like divine power. The point is to have a hero that cannot avoid being worshiped like a god as the rival of an anti-hero protagonist who can be best described as "If Batman, the Question, and Iron Man trained an archeologist to be a hero.". God vs "dude with some gizmos".
