even the most devout Superman fan must admit that Superman has a vulnerability to magic , yet from reading many discussions on here there seems to be a lack of consensus.

Superman's vulnerability to magic
i think there's A lack of consensus on how much magic hurts him, rather then if it hurts him. (although Quite a few versions are resistant to it)" even the most devout Superman fan must admit that Superman has a vulnerability to magic , yet from reading many discussions on here there seems to be a lack of consensus.

" @JediXMan said:I personally like it better when he is vulnerable to magic. I know Kingdom Come Superman was (to a point, as he did fight through Captain Marvel's lightning blasts). Superman Prime isn't. As for normal New Earth Superman... pretty sure he is." I honestly don't know. Sometimes he's written as being vulnerable, sometimes he's not. The problem is that the writers don't know if he is or not. "No wonder people on here argue all the time. "
" @JediXMan: That was my understanding. I think it makes more sense if he's vulnerable to magic, although Superman-Prime is the most interesting new villain I've seen in a while. "He's interesting, yes, but I like when he learns his place by being taken down.
The other issue i've noticed is how much it hurts him. Some treat him as if Magic cuts through his invulnerability like a knife through butter, and other's more like a plastic knife through steak. I wish we knew exactly how affective it is on him, it would cut arguments down trememdously. I mean take the Thor fight. He was able to power through it b/c he's still invulnerable, it just had more of an effect b/c it was Magical Lightning, same w/ Cap Marvel.
