It's mostly a blessing, i'm not gonna lie, Kal-El has one of the most impressive set of powers in the whole DC comics universe, maybe in comic books period, however when you put those powers into reality you'll quickly realize that they are also a curse, if you wanna know what I mean, try to play with a little kid, maybe a toddler, you won't be playing hard with them, right? because you'll be too afraid to hurt such a frail, weak body. Now imagine Superman, one of the strongest men in the universe trying to put his strength in the service of humanity, everything is literally too weak to him. If he tries to stop a crashing plane, He'll crush it in his attempt by applying too much strength inadvertently, trying to save someone from a free fall? forget it, human-puree right there and now, or in the luckiest scenarios, he'll cripple them, wanna stop a criminal, maybe try pushing him? the consequences of such a push, even the slightest one, are gonna be disastrous!! what I'm trying to say is: Superman won't be able to regulate his strength and he will cause more harm than good given his power. and I won't be any different. so, in short, do I want his powers? hell yes. are they gonna do more good than harm? No. definitely.
