The last one is more famous as a building/monument than the place where it's situated.

Your clue about the building/monument being more famous than its location helped me eliminate a lot of other possibilities. I know the Taj Mahal is in India but that's it. Even the Cybermen know it's an important location if you are going to take over the world.
A hero (of sorts) is fighting a villain he doesn't normally fight but who is strangely appropriate when Superman helps the hero by decapitating him. Which hero lost his head to Superman?

No Red today. No - sounds a bit too permanent.

No, although I can imagine how he would survive the experience. Squish! No. Stretch! No. A hero (of sorts) is fighting a villain he doesn't normally fight but who is strangely appropriate when Superman helps the hero by decapitating him. Which hero lost his head to Superman? Clue: The hero's adversary is a classic Superman villain, who is in many ways a doppelganger of the hero.

I can see that maybe but no. Breaking his back wasn't enough? You want to decapitate him too? No. A hero (of sorts) is fighting a villain he doesn't normally fight but who is strangely appropriate when Superman helps the hero by decapitating him (the hero). Which hero lost his head to Superman? Clue: The hero's adversary is a classic Superman villain, who is in many ways a doppelganger of the hero. Clue: Versions of both the hero and the villain have appeared on DC TV shows in recent years, but not on the same show.

trying to think of which Superman villains would have a heroic doppelganger...
also thinking of whether the decapitation was "real" or "fake' through illusions or something. hence my guesses re Cyborg, Batman. but from your responses that seems to be the wrong track.
erm
thinking of "hero of sorts"
The Parademon that joined the Secret Six?

Robotman of the Doom Patrol...and the villain would be Metallo? Yes! Chaim has it! Early on in post-Crisis Superman comics, there were mysterious raids on various technology companies with some indications of superhuman strength. It turned out that Metallo was the culprit and had been modifying various robotic parts to increase his abilities. In Doom Patrol vol 2 #10 we learn that some these enhanced parts have accidentally be installed as repairs to Robotman's body and Metallo wants them back. Problem is that thanks to Metallo's modifications he can control the parts remotely, taking over Cliff's body and making him fight his teammates. In Superman vol 2 #20 Superman joins in the fight and Cliff encourages him to take the only way of stopping him, to literally rip Cliff's head from his body so Superman can deal with Robotman's errant body without endangering Cliff. Your turn Chaim.
