So aside from Busiek's accolades and accreditations, he's a man who's written Thor for six years as an Avenger and thus not inclined to an anti-Thor bias in his analysis.

SoĪ "turn into a bunny" spell would turn Superman into a bunny. He is simply vulnerable to it the way everyone else is. Superman is not allergic to magic it doesn't affect him like In a CBR forum post, here's what Busiek had to say on Superman and magic: Busiek also wrote the Avengers from 1998 to 2004 Concluding with the historic JLA / Avengers cross-publisher cross-over where Superman prevails over Thor and his magical hammer. But in Superman circles he's known for writing the must-read, Superman: Secret Identity (published in 2004) and his runs on Action Comics and Superman between 20. He's probably best know for Marvels with Alex Ross and Astro City.

Kurt Busiek, highly acclaimed superhero comic book writer having won the Harvey Award for best writer in 1998 and the Eisner Award for best writer in 1999, along with several other Harvey, Eisner, and other Awards for his writing. Indeed, this is exactly how my expert witness frames the issue. The latter is the more logical conclusion and, if that's the case, the there's no need to be informed of Superman's vulnerability since you could deduce he'd be as vulnerable to magic as any other non-magical entity. isn't it more likely that magic- whatever its source- operates on all non-magical mundane things to the same degree? somehow possessing the self-aware ability to distinguish between what magic to let in and what magic to keep out for ALL schools of magic no matter their source, origin, or mechanism. So here's the key question: Does it make more sense for that discrimination to come from Superman's evolutionary, biological, science-based powers. So it's clear that the interaction of Superman's powers with magic- if any- can discriminate between good and bad, hostile and friendly magic. it's not like Superman explodes on contact with the portal, is somehow unmovable by allied transport spells, or starts to rot away under a magic shield. When magic is cast to teleport, transport, or shield. Fate, Zatanna, or simply stumbled upon pre-existing passive spells. Not to mention all the beneficial or allied spells meant to protect, buffs, or buoy Superman if cast by Dr. did his face puff up when they kiss or go unconscious when they embrace? Of course not! The question assumes there are people not vulnerable to magic.Ĭonsider the implausibility of the contrapositive: What would it take or mean for biologically-gifted science-based powers to grant immunity to SELECT magic?īecause we aren't describing an allergy, right? It isn't like if Superman is merely in the presence of magical beings, entities, or objects, he suddenly feels weak and vulnerable, right? In relatively recent continuity, Superman was romantically involved with the magically infused-and-empowered Wonder Woman. Answer: Superman is as vulnerable to magic as all non-magical entities as this is universally true, it's not something Superman would need to disclose.
