you're missing the point here: deep down Steve is a good guy, this was evident before he became a super soldier, Erskine said as much when he revealed why he chose Steve in the first place. Bottom line is Caps heart comes from a good place. Thor on the other hand does good things but his core is that of an entitlled douche, as evidenced by the whole first act of his first movie. At their core they are two different characters; Mjolnir BELONGS to Thor, Caps ability to even budge it goes to show how great his character is that Asgards magic would even recognize his good nature
Man of Steel Superman could resist it easily. It wouldn't even be a temptation for him. He already has enough power to easily rule the entire planet if he wanted to so the ring wouldn't really be offering him anything new. Plus, he is just too good of a person to be tempted by something like that. He is about as close as a character can get to being "perfect". His earth parents raised him well and his willpower is almost as strong as his physical body is.
The will of Sauron is nothing compared to the will of Kal-El.

okay where to begin... cap, Professor X and Loki (resist the best)
first: the ring was created "And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life" + "but the power of the ring could not be undone" this meaning the part of saurons soul poured into the ring is pretty damn strong
second: sauron was one of the maiar... meaning he was a freak"n god/angle/power before the creation of middle earth and served the valar
third: in the second age sauroon became imensely powerful with each passing year and he was a few thousand years old
the reason professor X, cap and loki resist the ring long enough is because captains values, spirit and morality keep him pure and worthy but wouldnt last a full year. Professor X last longer because he is a powerful mutant with a great understanding of the whole emotional physology soul shit. Loki lasts the longest because he is a advanced being whose "magic" is based around trickery, greed and desire... its basically a contest of who can maintain their persona's the longest but loki doesnt have the strength to go toe to toe with Saurons soul poured into the ring for a year

You mean like Pa Kent who when Clark said 'Was I just meant to let them die?' after saving a bus full of school kids replied 'Maybe.' Yeah he's a real stand up guy.

That is not how the Ring works, Gandalf is Maia, as is Saruman. They both however would succumb to the will of the Ring.
As far as Thor and Superman > Sauron is concerned, erm no. Sauron's magic and illusion would school them.
Assuming he can be destroyed whilst wearimg the Ring, like have you ever read any of the books?
Sauron is a demi-god(Maia) and used the Ring to become more powerful than anyone in Middle-Earth. His magic and illusion is what will prove to be their un-doing, good luck fighting Sauron whilst he's burning your soul out of your body.
