There’s not enough stupid threads on the front page, damn it! It makes me feel lonely.
In answering, feel free to specify wehter you mean movie Supes, television Kal, or comics Clark.
Well, definitely, if you count Superman IV: The Quest for Peace as part of the canon. But, then again, by the end of the movie, we were pretty much back to the status quo…
Way too many versions of Superman for this to have one answer.
Classic Golden Age weaponized Superman beating the armies of foreign nations for US security interests probably not. In thinking about it the only real peace that Superman IRL could enforce would be fairly clearly through the implied threat to use his powers to punish a non-cooperating party. I don’t think that’s going to
get him the prize.
No. He’s a dick.
Well, that’s why I said pick a version. 
I think the Chris Reeve version would probably deserve it. No other super-heroes, and not enough super-villains for people to start blaming him for attracting villainous attention; I always thought he spent most of his time dealing with disasters and such.
Truth? Okay.
Justice? Sounds like a contender.
And the American Way! bzzztt. Sorry, Mr El, that is an incorrect answer, but thank you for playing.
Deserve the prize, yes. Realistically have a chance of having it bestowed on him by the committee? Sure, right after Mogo throws a cocktail party.
No. For his power level he hasn’t made any lasting difference. As much as people would squawk about their freedoms, the correct person acting unilaterally could inflict (and I do mean inflict) a lasting change. Of course in real life I’m not this authoritarian.
I think most versions would. Frist, because he’s always saving the world from something or other. And second, because part of the purpose of the prize is to encourage the desired behavior; such as Superman saving the world and getting accolades for it, instead of setting himself of as Kal-El the First, God-King of Earth.
We would kill him, like any other Messiah.
If he wanted it.
Well, we might try. Jesus died because he was really just a cult leader; nigh invulnerable superhumans are a bit harder to take out.
Besides, Muhammad didn’t get killed before his time, nor did Buddha, which disproves your basic idea.
He managed to arrest both Hitler and Stalin and give them to the World Court for their crimes against humanity. That alone would get Superman the peace prize.
Didn’t they just give it to someone who became commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces upon swearing to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? Tall guy? Barry something? Talks to his fellow Americans about how our freedoms have made this country the envy of the world, adds that there’s no force in the world more powerful than the example of America, patiently explains that America is the greatest country on Earth, and spells out that the unique genius of America involves holding fast to principles that make us a beacon to the world?
The Alex Ross Superman from “Superman: Peace on Earth” would probably be a good candidate. http://www.rambles.net/superman_peace.html
Nah, Lex Luthor would get the peace prize for failing to kill Superman, to make sure he continues down that path.
That is perfect!
Only if he were a Democrat
Like Kissinger?
Neither set themselves up, or were set up by their followers, as Messiah figures.
Beyond that, no way the world at large would tolerate super interference in their affairs. There’d be secret labs and secret organizations world wide trying to figure out how to kill the fucker. Once there was one solid attempt that showed the slightest chance of success (Kryptonite?), every two-bit organization in the world would be conspiring to make it happen again, only harder.
