Background
Post-Crises Superman’s origin is similar to most versions of Superman. The planet Krypton was rendered unstable and its core was predicted to explode by Superman’s father Jor-el. Jor-el was unable to convince Kryptonian leadership to do anything to avert the crisis, and as a result Jor-el sent his son Kal-el (AKA Superman) to Earth in a rocket ship. Once Superman arrived he was adopted by the Kents and was renamed “Clark Kent”

Magic
Superman is “vulnerable to magic”. It bypasses his bioelectric aura allowing it to deal more damage to him, and his own blows tend to be less effective against entities protected by magical bolstering.

Resistances/Contingencies
Superman can resist some spells depending on the type of magic used and can even break some spells via his willpower. Likewise he’s not “weak” to magic the same way he’s weak to kryptonite. He can survive massive attacks bolstered by magical energy, given they were not enhanced to have specific attributes to bypass durability.
Superman survives being blasted by a magic staff wielded by Gog, that has the combined power of the Lanterns, the source, Zeus and Shazam combined. It breaches the walls of hypertime https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Kingdom/Issue-2?id=83865#23 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Kingdom/Issue-2?id=83865#28 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Kingdom/Issue-2?id=83865#30
