Many have tried... few have succeeded.
Back in the sixties, the first ones to succeed in killing Superman were the Superman Revenge Squad. They came up with the idea of turning Kryptonite radiations into radio waves, and blanketing all Metropolis with them. (They did this by using a scientific device that broke down Kryptonite into energy, and then broke into a radio station and hooked it into the main transmitter.)
They tested it before the left their home planet, on an android that was programmed to think and act like Superman.
When they got to Earth and carried out their scheme, Superman could not figure out where the K radiation was coming from. It felt like it was right next to him! He could not fly out of range of the rays in time and he died.
They took his dead body back to their homeworld to gloat over him. When they put him in a tomb (sick trophy!), the android recovered and felt sorry for Superman. The android found the prototype, the device that was used as a proof-of-concept device, and reversed its action, so that it sucked the K-radiation out of Superman's body. He recovered.(The device killed the andrid, who was not invulnerable, like Superman.)
Then there was some other stuff about having to stop the SRS who threatened to erase all historical and scientific records, plunging the world back into the Dark Ages, unless they were voted into leadership. Superman stopped them, installed a ffreely elected leader, and they enshrined the body of the android, who was the one that really saved them all.
Then, years later, there was some story about a guy called Doomsday, but I'm sure he wasn't very significant.
There is a character called Mongul, who is very tough and strong, like Superman. IIRC, Mongul is the one who destroyed Coast City, which drive Hal Jordan mad and caused him to destroy the rest of the GL corps. So, Mongul is a bada ss.
There was a great story with Mongul attacking Superman in the Fortress of Solitude on Superman's birthday. He almost beat Wonder Woman to death, brushed Batman aside with one hand, and was planning to rip Superman's head off and carryit on a spear-point. It was Robin that finally defeated Mongul but I don't know if this story is considered canonical. It was called "For the Man who has Everything" At the end, Superman spoke of throwing Mongul into a black hole. So I don't know if he is still available. But he was tough.

TONS of people. I don't know many in DC but here are a few in DC.
1- Batman-has beaten his *** regularly (once when batman was 40 years old in the dark knight returns and the sequel).
2- probably green lantern
3- the psyco killer who DID kill superman
4- martian manhunter
Marvel.
Most marvel characters would kick his ***.
1- Iron Man (especially the new extremis enhanced iron man)
2- Thor and the other marvel gods.
3- Dr. Doom
4- Dr. Strange
5- The silver surfer and most other cosmic heroes or galactus' heralds
6- the hulk
7- Iron spidey (recently spiderman was given a "spider suit by Iron Man" that was technologically advanced)
8- possibly captain america- why, jack kirby and stan lee gave him the power to ALWAYS WIN no matter what the odds, so by logic cap will demolish superman, he will find a way. However this might be changed, likely it has as Iron Man recently beat the crap out of him worse than Ike beat tina.
9- sentry
10- professor xavier, jean grey or any other telepath
11- gladiator (the shi'ar guardsman- he is invincible and can never be hurt)
12- magneto
13- reed richards -even though his intellect is not even close to dr. doom's he would find a way.
14- sue storm
15- jhonny storm- he can go nova
16- thanos
17- eternity
18- death
19- molecule man (can control molecules- just rip hm apart)
20- the beyonder
21- lord chaos, master order and the inbetweener
22- the mandarin
23- captain universe
24- dormammu, umar
25- baron mordo
26- graviton, apocalypse, mr. sinister
27- the thing
28- pheonix
29- black bolt
30- the ancient one
31- the dude iron man fought that was enhanced by extremis in the extremis series
32- binary
33- emma frost (telepath)
34- sebastian shaw (he absorbs kinetic energy, the more superman hits him the stronger he becomes, superman isn't smart enough to figure this one out on his own).
35- The vision
36- many more- I'm just tired of listing them.

There's a great debate on who would win in a fight: Superman or Batman. At first glance, Superman would be the obvious choice with his superpowers compared to Batman's gadgets. But Superman is for justice and good while Batman will go use kryptonite on Superman.

Spidey could, but only if he had a piece of kryptonite.
On the other hand, Goku from DBZ might have a real chance, especially if they both had a few practice fights first - since the more Goku fights, if his opponents are stronger than he is, the stronger Goku gets (kinda like the Hulk).
Although I doubt Goku would even think to use kryptonite - for one thing, he's more honorable than that, and another - he'd like the challenge of the fight itself.....

Superman cuts his hair & shaves his facial hair via making use of a blast of his warmth ingenious and prescient directed off of an quite small piece of the rocket he got here to earth in. This replaced into shown interior the rest room Byrne "guy of steel" situation #4 that got here out in 1986. outstanding attempt although. perhaps the hairclippers ought to kill him in the event that they have been imbued with magic. Superman's vulnerabilities are Kryptonite (all colours yet Blue, because of the fact blue basically works against Bizarro) & Magic.

Doomsday Killed Superman already once.
Past that the best have all had a shot and he's always come out on top. Maybe lure him to a red planet system and shoot him with kryptonite bullets.

I would have to say Batman, it sounds crazy, but he has planned for fighting superman if need be. He carries spare kryptonite in his utility belt just in case. And once superman is weakened there is not much he can do, batman would take him out.

Captain Marvel (the DC Capt. Marvel) because Big Blue is completely vulnerable to Magic. I also think Wonder Woman could have a shot.
The Hulk is another possibility, but it would depend which Hulk. It would have to be one of the Hulk's incarnations where his strength grows with his anger with no limits.
