I think they made a comic about that, once. It was a mini-series called 
"Divine Designs" or something like that (I've only read it in 
Portuguese), where all super-heroes lost their powers. Superman was the 
first one to break down and turn into a worthless drunkard, having lost 
his toys.

Bringing this back on topic... Superman gets mentioned all the time as 
the "archetypical" super-hero, the kind of character who exemplifies 
everything positive about the human race. So, by doing something to him, 
you're symbolically doing something to all those ideals and concepts.

I wonder what an insane adept or avatar could get out of pulling 
Superman out of a screen and then ritually sacrificing him.
