Conan vs. Superman.
Under a red sun, Conan wins. Kryptonite sword, if just having it near Superman slows Superman down, so he can't fly away or move super-speed, Conan may well win. Magic sword, Conan will win if he hits Superman, but if Superman is moving full speed, Conan will likely not be able to hit him. Each at their best, hard to see Conan having any chance.

If you want to be consistent, Kryptonite almost never works on Superman because as soon as he feels its buzz he flies into space and destroys it with heat vision. He's even done it a couple of times, but the writers are lazy and its a stock plot device.Conan vs. Superman.

And it's just like Superman V. Batman; one can contrive a way in which they could win but it's so overwhelming one might as well say a gorilla could beat Superman as it depends on random luck and outright incompetence by Superman. If we're to take their abilities at face value Superman could just destroy them instantly in any of a million ways before they even knew he was there.

Demi Moore?
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

She was in the first episode. MST3K is so darn indispensable! What could they have done with the knowledge that mumblin' Max Keller there became a go-to director for HBO.

What about Conan vs. Perseus? Perseus battles with the gods and wins. How can Conan beat that? Perseus has that magical sword that does some serious damage.

I would suggest that most of the great heroes of mythology and folklore, if transplanted into REH's world would be toned down somewhat to the more gritty in-world "reality" of the Hyborian age. Some would still be stronger, some wilier, some even more intense than Conan.
Beowulf would be terrifyingly strong and brave, an uncanny swimmer of amazing endurance, but he's not going to hold his breath underwater for hours, swimming in chain mail.
Achilles would be killable - but an utterly overpowering warrior, etc.
Neutral Ground probably is an important concept to keep in mind when pitting characters from different storytellers' universes against each other...
Beowulf would be terrifyingly strong and brave, an uncanny swimmer of amazing endurance, but he's not going to hold his breath underwater for hours, swimming in chain mail.

Achilles might be similar to his depiction in the recent movie Troy: a fighter so quick, slick, and skillful that nobody could lay a weapon on him. Hence the legend of his immunity to damage. A fight between him and Conan might be interesting.I would suggest that most of the great heroes of mythology and folklore, if transplanted into REH's world would be toned down somewhat to the more gritty in-world "reality" of the Hyborian age.

He would spend more time cleaning the blood off his knuckles than he spent in the actual fight.

Conan would not be the least bit afraid of Freddie. After some preliminary engagements and some snarky comments from Freddie, Conan would give Freddie a redition of what he's faced. It might go something like this.." By Crom and Mitra I fear you not! I have seen sights that would freeze even your blood, faced wizards and witches, creatures from the Outer Gulfs, beings from the dawn of time, beasts who could swallow men whole,demons who climbed up from the pits of Hell. You count yourself strong because you slay weak-willed civilized people in their sleep? Bah, count yourself strong when you sink the blades of your glove into the iron sinuews of a Cimmerian bull; I killed one with my bare hands. Your mummery would not frighten a newborn Cimmerian babe. Had you sought to enter the dreams of a Cimmerian, it is YOU who would be plagued with nighmares! You are naught more than a burned husk who cannot accept that he is dead." The Conan would knock Freddie across the room.
I've done Freddy, now I'll give Jason a try.
"Crom's Devils! Will I be forever plagued by walking corpses? And you are far from the greatest fiend I ahve ever faced. You wear a fool's mask that would not frighten a tavern trull. You pant like a baron that just climbed a flight of stairs. You count yourself strong because you use a gardener's tool to butcher hapless fools who wander into your woods. You would not last a day in the Pictish Wilderness, which I have crossed. I know not by what mummery you continy to live, I tell you, you are as much and corpse as the Burned One. Now come Dog, bring your toy a taste Cimmerian steel!"

It wouldn't have to be a versus but maybe inline with classic Marvel. It would be What if Conan met Slaine. They could kill lots of people get drunk in a tavern and beat up Ukko the dwarf
