So many to choose from. Pick 3 of your favorite Superman copies.

I voted for Black Adam, though I don't see him as a Superman clone.

Given three choices, I opted for Bizarro, Captain Marvel (I'll be damned if I'll call him Shazam), and Astro City's Samaritan.
Cei-U!
I summon the Titanic Trio!

I don't care what Judge Learned Hand had to say (and he was a legendary judge) Captain Marvel was not a Superman clone.

No Megaton Man? For shame.

Went with Hyperion, Samaritan, and Other (Mon El/Valor). Would have gone with Homelander, but he's far better in the show than the comics.

If I were to choose, I go with Samaritan and my personal favorite Mr. Majestic.

BTW, I voted for Samaritan, Captain Carrot and Captain Marvel (not a Superman doppelganger).

I really liked the Supreme series when Alan Moore was scripting it.
It just hit at the right time for me.

I went with Samaritan, because I loved what Kurt Busiek did with him, in Astro City, but almost went with Mon-El. He was one of my favorite Legionnaires, similar to Superboy, but with his own more mature personality.
I don't consider Captain Marvel (Shazam is the wizard, not the hero) a clone, as when you look beyond the surface costume, they are vastly different characters, in tone, the use of their powers, the villains and their adventures. Black Adam is the mirror of Captain Marvel...the warning that there is a price to the power that Shazam grants to Captain Marvel. Nearly everything interesting about Superman that came about in the Silver Age was a copy of Captain Marvel and his stories, from the people who used to write and draw them. There is no Supergirl, without Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr preceded Superboy (though Jerry Siegel submitted a Superboy script, in 1940).

I went with Other: Wundarr.
Otherwise, I agree that Captain Marvel (Shazam) is not a Superman clone.
And is "Count Nefarious" supposed to be Count Nefaria?

I picked Mon-El (big Legion fan), Apollo and Other: Mr. Majestic (loved the Joe Casey limited series, Alan Moore's take on him in WildC.A.T.S. and DnA's run years later).
