Maybe I don't know, was there a one on one conflict where Kal couldn't deal with the Flame Dragon?

The 1st one, the Dragon was from Krypton, since is was far more powerful than Kryptonians on their native planet, when it came to Earth, logically it was of course more powerful than Superman. Superman only manage to defeat it after exposing it to Red K, he could not defeat it using his powers alone. Did you read the story? The fact that he was more powerful was the whole point of the story.

Lord Satanis and Syrene pretty much had Supes every time in a straight-up meeting.

Could the/a Sun-eater be considered a villain, or was it more of a weapon?

Validus, too, is likely more powerful than Superman (didn't I read somewhere it took Mon-El, Ultra Boy, and Superboy combined to even restrain him?).

The Galactic Golem, too, had the advantage over Superman in sheer physical might, IIRC.
