supposedly he can do anything but fail, so I guess he would be able to.

Yes.
He can say, "Right now I can only lift a quarter billion trillion tons." And having said that, he has put a limit on his strength. So now he makes a rock that weighs a half billion trillion tons. He now has made a rock he can not lift.
Then he can approach the rock and say, "I now can lift a billion trillion tons." He has now changed his limits. He can easily pick up the rock.
With God, all things are possible, even finding the answer to such stupid questions.

Asking God to create a stone which it cannot lift implicates two tenets: an ability, and also a weakness. For example, if you ask a person to create a boat that they cannot lift, it implies two things: first, that the person has the ability to create a boat (ability), and second, that the person cannot lift it (weakness). Asking God to create a stone that it cannot lift asks it to exercise an ability (create a stone), but also not be able to manipulate the product of that ability (be able to lift a stone), which is a weakness. The paradox is based on performing an ability which exposes a weakness.

You've just hit upon the paradox of omnipotence. Originally, the Gd of the bible was thought to be powerful, but not all powerful. Somewhere along the way a long time ago, we started believing that Gd was all powerful, which causes a whole lot of theoretical problems. As it is, yes he can because he's all powerful, and no he can't because he's all powerful.

haha nice question, yes god would be able to make a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it, then if he decided to lift it he could just call Superman

If you mean in an any way metaphorical sense, yes, yes I do. We are the stone. God, I believe, gave us free will. God has giving us the responsibility to live our own lives, for good or ill.

Most powerful is one of God's nature and attributes. Making something more powerful than Himself is out of His nature.

No, because by definition it's impossible for such an object to exist. It's like asking "Can God make another god more powerful than He is?".
Since He has ALL power there cannot be a being with more than ALL of the power.

Yes, but then he'd say the rock has free will and blame everything on the rock.

An all-powerful god is illogical. You are going to get some BS answers but they are really just question dancing...
