First of all, Marvel isn't making him. He's creator owned by Mark Millar.
Second, If he's a clone of anyone it's Captain Marvel, since Superior is actually a kid in a wheelchair.
Third, I hate this idea of labeling characters a "Superman clone" because of their powers. Do you have any idea of how many characters can fly and have super strength? Wonder Woman, Thor, Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel (Shazam), Miracle Man, Black Adam, Sentry, Blue Marvel, Icon, Martian Manhunter, Powerboy, Supernova, Captain Atom, Hyperion, Namor, Silver Surfer, Iron Man, Nova, Invincible, Omniman, Bulletproof, Rocket, Monet, Ms. Marvel, Wonderman, Vision, Ares, War Machine, Valkyrie, Captain Planet, Ultraboy, Astroboy, Andromeda, Sodam Yat, Noh-Varr, Titan, the Plutonian, and I could go on and on and on. They don't have the same origin, personality, and/or motivations as Superman, so they aren't Superman clones. None of those people were the last of a dying race, and got shuttled down to Earth to live in Kansas. They don't work for a newspaper and aren't weak to kryptonite. They don't have 50 breath and vision powers.
Fourth, if we're talking about clones, then Superman himself is a ripoff. The early Superman is based on a character named Hugo Danner in the book Gladiator by Philip Wylie. Look it up. Superman isn't even the first comic book character to have flight and super strength in combination. Originally all he could do was jump and lift stuff. There are other heroes who were flying and lifting stuff before Superman got a power boost. So stop being so self righteous.
