Conan would just dual wield Yyrkoon and Elric of Melnibone. Wherupon Conan would replace Conan and Conan with Conan O'brien and Carrot Top, who, being gingers, are immune to the soulsucking powers of Stormbringer and Mournblade, as gingers are not in possession of a soul.
Conan would thus fight Conan to a stand still.
This is starting to read like a Yellowdingo thread.

This thread is still alive?
The only reason Conan is still alive is because he has fled in terror at the thought of the whupping he would receive from the Great American Hero AL BUNDY!
Yeah, yeah, Conan fought a bunch of commoners and first level warriors here and there blah, blah ...king by his own hand. So what?
Al Bundy scored four touchdowns for the Polk High Dots in ONE GAME! (Ask him and he will tell you about it).
He sold shoes to the hordes of infernal she-beasts.
He is a master of philosophical debate.
Conan hunted down the slayers of his family and took bloody revenge? Bah! Al endured decades with a family of sniveling parasites and held his justified wrath in check.
Conan grew through pain and deprivation, battled sorcerers and demons? Try a day with Peg. Now imagine it "till death do you part".
Al weathered life's slings, arrows, outrageous fortune and living next to Marcy. He toppled all obstacles put before him and sat upon his throne (with his hand stuffed in his pants) even with an empty stomach, no coin and no will to live.
Al Bundy cannot be stopped by life. He cannot be stopped by some pansy Cimmeron in furry speedos.

“He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.” ― William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
How about Conan's own chin?
We know that Robert E. Howard based Cimmeria on the Celts.
If that is true, why is Conan always shown as clean shaven?
It is possible that the reason for Conan's wandering is that he was unable to grow a proper beard, a mark of status in Celtic culture.

Interesting time capsule of a thread. The casual gay bashing back in 2006 absolutely wouldn't fly today.
Conan's an extremely skilled dude with a sword, but ultimately still just a dude. A better question might be who're are equivalent characters (like Fafhrd or Parn from Lodoss War), not who can beat him. Because plenty of characters would beat him simply by virtue of punching in a completely different weight class.
Though now I'm wondering how he'd work as a Heroic Spirit in the Fate series. He'd probably have a whole grab bag of powers because he's done so much.

Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: f*%&in' A...
Burke: Ho-ho-hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.

If Superman picked up Conan and threw him into the Sun:
Conan would hang out for a while and enjoy the warmth. Later, when he missed his girl he would cut the Sun in half with his battle axe; the explosion would throw him back to earth.
Falling through the vacuum of space at absolute zero temperatures, he would enjoy the view on the way in and think deep thoughts about the nature of Man and existence.
When he landed he would look for Superman.
He would say, That was hot but after a while I wanted to chill out.
Soon after landing, John Wick walks up to Conan and hands him a gun.
Conan says, "Thanks Johnny Utah. And, Vaya con Dios."John Wick says, "You know that really means `go with God`?"
Conan nods his head.
