The Superman of Earth-50, Jim Lee's Mr. Majestic has all of Superman's power, but few of his scruples. The difference is that Superman, though born on another planet, is one of us, raised by human parents with human values. Lord Majestos wasn't raised here, but arrived as a Kherubim warlord, stranded on Earth and dedicated to fighting blood enemies the Daemonites, but also evil in general. He's been doing just that for thousands of years. Going "costumed" in the 40s, his analog of the Fortress of Solitude is inside Mount Rushmore. On his world, the most powerful of superhumans are described as "Majestic-class". Considering all that, we can almost forgive the giant ego, but putting criminals in stasis without a fair trial? Dude. This ain't the planet Khera.
Though having Superman-like powers and an off-planet origin isn't really enough to be branded an analog, the point was driven home when Majestic took over Superman's duties following a time-storm that displaced them both. It was a chance for him to clean up Metropolis in a way Superman hadn't (highly illegally and making the other heroes try to trap him in the Phantom Zone), and steal a few of Superman's best poses, including:
Everybody looks good doing that.
