What's the point in having a Superman if he can't break adamantium?

Does the DC universe have an equivalent "unbreakable" metal? And if so, has Superman ever been shown to bend and/or break it?

Marvel has adamantium. DC has Supermanium. Fawcett had Shazamium. I suspect we could say they were all the same metal. And both Superman and Captain Marvel could, with effort, mold their respective metals*, though both stated that only they had the power to do so. So, yes, Superman can at least bend adamantium, if not outright break it. *At least, at their eariler power levels. Now, maybe not.

Correction: After thinking about this, I recalled that Fawcett had 3 metals, Shazamium was the one that Shazam wore as a bracelet that let him exist as a phantom and teleport to/from the Rock of Eternity.
Sivanium was Sivana's 'Living Metal' that he used to make androids of himself with.
It was Marvelium that was "The World's Mightiest Element"; so strong that no known force in the universe could work it, except Captain Marvel.
All these are from Captain Marvel Adventures 100, 1949
Supermanium appeared first in World's Finest 41, also in 1949

****
In the 30th century era of the Legion of Super-Heroes they have inertron, an "indestructible" metal. In know Mon-El burst through inertron once, so I would assume Superman could as well.

John Byrne's Superman could NOT - but he was at about mid/late Golden Age power levels.
Today's Superman -- who friggin' knows ? I can't follow what the hell is going on with comics these days -- I've asked my LCS to just sell me my old back-issues each month and tell me they're "new books".
Silver Age (pre-crisis) Superman - yeah -- he`d snap Wolverine like a twig.
The real question is:
Can Admantium CUT Superman's skin ?

I'm just the geekiest. Once it sets, nothing can damage Adamantium. Nothing. Now, Element Lad could get rid of it, though!!

"Could Wonder Woman and GL together bend supermanium?"
In my opinion, either of them alone could.
Whatever the difference in strength is between Superman and Wonder Woman, I don't think it's great enough to make a difference here.
As to GL, what that ring can accomplish is limited only by the wearer's willpower. Hal could probably muster enough to bend it. A few others might, as well. But that's the least interesting way to write a GL story. Far better to say he can't, and then have him come up with a creative workaround. Say he's in a Supermanium cell. Failing to bend the bars, he might use the ring to, oh, say travel back in time to before the cage was there, or shrink himself and travel between the bars or even atoms of the prison. Or he could use the ring to pick the lock, mind-control his jailer, or turn the cell or himself invisible to trick his captors into releasing him. Written well, there's not a whole lot GL can't do.
