(puts on geek hat)

this may have been the case with the original Superman, but post-crisis
Supes didn't have any super powers when he was a kid. didn't get them till
his late teens. so his morality would have been fairly well-established by
then. and of course, from that point being the most powerful guy on the
planet probably *helped* him stay so nice as he didn't have to worry about
half the nasty shit that turns most people into grumpy cynical adults.
