Superman translated to German, incidentally, is Übermensch.

We may never know why dictators were obsessed with an American superhero, but it made for decades of awkward translations. :D

Well... Do me this Hitler and Mussolini as Robin and Batman look ironic, but this "Superman Stalin" is just dumb soviet propaganda (what is also most common today).

We should not glorify this mass murderer here!

"Stalin" literally means "Man of Steel" though, it's an amusing coincidence which the OP is making fun of by saying he named himself after Superman.

There is a really neat Superman short story called Superman Red Son where he lands on earth 12 hours later into the heart of the USSR.
