Superman could make anyone Warlocks level his B%$^& except for Warlock, because Supes soul isn't any stronger then anyone elses, only his body.
Warlock In full soul gem control fuggin' toys with supes, then blows up his soul.
Warlock with intotal control just rips his soul out of his body, and still wins.

What cop out? That clone was based on Gladiator, (who is a ripoff of Superman). This is not a Warlock vs. Thanos thread...and even if it was, that still wouldn't be a cop out...I wouldn't even use that example.

i thought that one was based on the hulk
If we take any modern Warlock with the Soul Gem, Superman's only real chance is to do that thing he never really does in the comics and fly in out of nowhere and pound Warlock some new orifices before he can blink.
70's Walock with gem is less of a lock, but perhaps more obviously dangerous. He's more likely to Soul Rip early in a fight and experiments more with the gem's whacky powers like devolving foes. He's not as skilled a fighter though, and lacks the razor sharp mind of his later self.
As "Him" he was a cosmic level powerhouse capable of rumbling with Warrior-Madness Thor (though loosing, of course). He could tussle with Supes, but Big Blue beats guys like that for a living.
Classic Magus would pwn Superman. 70's Warlock, Thanos, and Gamora working together couldn't take out 70's Magus. The other Magus manifestations are less powerful, thoug I'm not sure what Supes would do to the current "Wraith" Magus.
Modern Adam Warlock without the Soul Gem is probably the most interesting question. Sans-Gem, he's more powerful physically, closer to his "Him" levels, and is still capable of "impossable" feats like not dying when blasted by Galactus, being completely undetectable to Nebula when she had the IG, physically entering other beings spirits, and so-forth.
I don't see Superman winning even if he does speed blitz. Adam has taken blasts from Galactus and has flown in and out of black holes. His durability is too great for a speedblitz to really work.
With the gem, Adam really can't lose.
Without the gem, but still having left over power from the gem (even without it, he still had it's power), Sup loses.
Without the gem or any of it's power, he could possibly pull a stalemate.
Supes FTW majority of the fight without soul gem 9/10.. With it Adam FTW say 6-7/10, The reason i gave Supes 3-4/10 against Adam w/ soul gem is his Speed in combat.. And that durability feat against G Adam ported out before takin the blast thats why he appeared a top or was it behind G's pink head...

Maybe, maybe not. It's never really explained. His body is clearly visible within Galactus's eye-blast, at least for a moment. Adam's not so tough that he can just shrug of blasts from the world devourer like they're nothing, but I don't think that it's as simple as just teleporting out of harm's way either. The assembled powers wouldn't have been fooled by that in any case.
Warlock is so tough to pin down in part because he doesn't seem to play by the same rules as everyone else does. That's part of his charm.

Warlock could win this fight in a hundred different ways.

So I guess we'll call that SIS.
