That's why no long running character should give lectures about the benefits of sparing your enemies, especially those that want you dead. Power, intelligence, skills and cunning are definitely crucial assets when it comes to survival. But in the end, a single stroke of bad luck at the wrong timing can ruin everything, no matter how good you are.

And considering all the crazy shit Superman went through over said decades, he was bound to run out of luck and/or make a fatal mistake at some point. The only reason that did happen eventually is because the guy is worth billions of dollars, which grants him the most indestructible of plot armors.
