Doraemon - wisdom always outweighs fighting skills in a battle. Doraemon has a pocket filled with gadgets from the future. His tools, such as Anywhere Door, can help him deal with attacks. His time machine will enable him to find out tactics Superman will use. Knowing this in advance will help him win.

If Superman had to face and subsequently lose to one person in a duel, I believe he would meet his downfall at the hands of Professor Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. This is because Superman's weaknesses include magic, and Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of his time. There's no doubt he has a lot of magic tricks up his sleeve. So he is the best candidate to prevail.

The Green Lantern would beat Superman because Superman's weaknesses lie in kryptonite and physical forces larger than his own. The Green Lantern has no weaknesses except the colour yellow, and he has the power to imagine anything and make it real. He could easily dream up kryptonite, defeat his rival and become the next Superman.
