1. Ok, agreed. I'm not disputing that.
2. No he doesn't. Using the n52 for example, look how many people died during the finale of doomed. Also, how does the flashback in SM/WW prove anything? He was still fighting off the Parademons...if his first and main objective were to save people he wouldn't have bothered fighting back. He also wouldn't have bothered fighting Darkseid because i'm sure there were more people trapped, hurt, or dying elsewhere.
3. This just proves my point more. It always confused me why people expect Superman to have this absolute moral code, yet still be human. It doesn't work both ways. As we see in final crisis, the life of lois is obviously more important to him than the lives of the people dying outside. Does that mean he doesn't care? No, absolutely not. He still cares very strongly for every life, but he does value some above the rest.
4. That's not the issue at hand here. The OP was asking whether Superman would allow a villain to back him into a corner and force him to take his own life in place of another. I don't think he will. And it's a completely different situation from Superman simply thinking the world can get on without him.
5. That flashback didn't prove anything imo
Edit: Wait, i'm pretty sure Superman killed Darkseid at the end of final crisis with his vibrational scream. Its a confusing book lol
