Answer
1 - Since his debut in "Action Comics #1" (dated June 1938), Superman has been in hundreds of comic books. "Action Comics" is now up to issue #882 (out this week). "Superman" (which debuted in 1939) is now up to issue #692. Other current Superman comics currently being published include "Superman: World of New Krypton", "Superman/Batman" and "Super Friends". Superman also often appears in "Supergirl", "Justice League of America" and other comic titles. There are also older titles that have been discontinued, such as "Superman: Man of Steel", "Adventures of Superman", "Superman: Man of Tomorrow", "Superman Adventures" (just to name a few). You can see a complete list of all Superman's comics at http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=comics-index-intro

2 - Check out this page for details on Superman's power levels: http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=comics-superman Also check out: http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=comics-sfaq

3 - There are characters in the DC Universe and Marvel Universe who are no doubt more powerful than Superman. For example there are characters who have god-like powers, or mystical powers. But for brute strength Superman is up at the top levels, more so because of his strength of character and will power, as much as his physical prowess.
