I realize his powers extend deeper than I originally gave them credit, but for the most part they depend on having metal around him to work with. This isn't a problem in any of the comics or movies, because the writers put that stuff at his disposal. Other superheroes have powers that aren't conditional on environment. The only way they wouldn't be able to implement their power is if they had an achillies heel, like Superman's kryptonite.

superman's powers are derived from his environment though. he only has powers on earth because of our yellow sun. on krypton, under a red sun, there would be nothing super about him.

This is true. I actually thought of it when typing my response, but I left it out. I figured I'd keep it on Earth, where as long as the sun doesn't go out, Superman has carte blanche to fuck shit up.
I figured if we got into off planet stuff, it would get narrowed down to a select group of Superheroes anyways.
Unless Magneto has the power to hurl metallic meteors from great distances, and invests in a sturdy space suit.
