Actually, the question was answered, more or less, nearly 60 years ago in Superman 137, May 1960.
Storyline:
On the journey from now-exploded Krypton to Earth the vessel carrying super-infant encounters an Alien space ship somehow fires a duplicator ray that creates a new rescue capsule complete with child. Both craft land on Earth in separate locations.
The original baby lands in a rural area and gets adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, both good. The duplicate baby gets raise in an urban setting by scoundrels Wolf and Bonnie Derek.
The original baby grows up to becomes Superman, a force for good, whereas the adult duplicate properly describes himself as Super-Menace. The two finally meet and Super-Menace gets a startling revelation about himself: he's not as perfect a Superman duplicate as he had believed. He also learns that his gangster foster parents did not regard him highly. So he kills them and himself.
