So would anyone who has Superman's powers...

Bah!!! X-ray can't see through lead or very dense objects. With the Mjolnir you could look into anyone's house/building via closed circuit TV being anywhere near a shower or locker room.
Everything you mentioned, Superman can do the same. With a different technique, is all.
And you guys also forgot Super-intelligence. That would make anyone with Superman's powers a damn genius.
Thor can't cure cancer or AIDS.
Thor can't create god-like technology.
Thor can't improve the world economy.
Superman's powers are simply more conventional to use in the real world.
