One with a plot?
I.e. PIS?
If DC and Marve had sat down to create a storyline called WWS, with Superman coming back to avenge his wife on those who had killed her....you guys really think they'd have their premier summer event of the year ending with him being stopped by Black Bolt in issue 1???
Or by Xavier in issue 1 of x-men vs WWS??
Get the phuck out of here.
That's just it. They would never have a WW Superman, because he would not react the same as Bruce did. This is a guy that has always come within an inch of happiness only to have it taken away in one form or another. Jarella, Betty, and then Caiera. The loss of his mother at the hands of an abusive father, and turned into an uncontrollable beast with the pent up rage that he had dealt with his entire life. All due to circumstance. I mean what crummy luck.
WW Hulk, and Planet Hulk was built around his personality, not Superman's. This is why a story like WW Hulk, could never happen to Superman... Zod maybe, or Black Adam, but the minute that Doctor Strange began communicating with him on the Astral Plane, he would have likely burst into tears, fell on his knees, pounding the ground, and that would have been the end of it. Could he rise to every challenge that the Hulk did? Maybe not, because Zom Strange may have had the power to end him due to his vulnerability to magic. In a book series with him in it, they would likely never use Zom, they would replace him with someone that Superman may have a difficult time, with, but he would be able to barely overcome like the Hulk with Zom.
In the end WW Hulk was just not tailored to Superman's character. It's kind of like asking one guy what he would do if someone killed his wife. One guy would say that he would kill the person who did this, while another would say let justice be done by the proper authorities. I'm thinking that Superman would fall under the latter.
