Who has beaten Superman?

Title in the question, who has beaten Superman? Without PIS/CIS or WIS involved, or brainwashing, or anything that messes with his mind, or at the very least gave him a good thrashing? I can only think of Darkseid and Doomsday, that in an actual fight with no brainwashing or magical things restricting Superman that he has been beaten down. Has Brainac ever?

As already stated, Hal Jordan Parallax back in Zero Hour might probably the biggest lose. One smack. I don't really count Death of Superman as a defeat since both "died" and got resurrected from the fight anyway. That was a stalemate. One clear defeat of Superman was against Atlas where he needed to be saved by Krypto. Other people who's beaten him are the team busters: General Eiling (beat Superman along with JLA), Despero (also did beat Superman with JLA), Emoboy Prime (beat Supes alongside a lot of heroes... temporary loss though cause they eventually won both Infinite Crisis and Sinestro Corps War), Ra's Al Ghul (beat Supes alongside JLA using Batman's plans), etc.

Almost every fight Superman had with Prime, it had Supes eating dirt...Which makes no sense, because Superman said he couldn't beat Prime....HOW COULD SUPERBOY DO IT???

anybody who doesn't dress up in a bender costume and stick their nose into other peoples business. For instance, in the time that he has spent saving people and attacking a bald man, I have learnt how to make a nice ham and cheese toastie. That is a good way to spend time. Lies and deceit and violence are not.

Superman usually beats WW...but in "Sacrifice"..WW did get the upper hand, making her record vs Supes about 1-5.
