Kinds of depends on what sort of magic the magic person does, and how magic works in a given universe/story.

This was just in a litrpg I was reading recently as well. Main char is super rediculously strong, but the bad guy basically just teleported him so far away it would take a year to get back to all the people he was protecting etc (kinda like they did to Black Adam in the comics/animated movie lol).

Superman doesn't actually have to be weak against most magic for there to be lots of ways to defeat him, he just has to be affected by it. If Strange uses his circular teleport thingy (sorry I'm not an expert on strange), in front of superman and he flies into some other place on another planet far far away, does it really matter if he defeated him at that point, or just removed him from the equation.

But yeah depending on howyou play it, even if he just takes normal damage from magic attacks (Even if they are elemental versions like they did in the animated show) it's a HUGE glaring weakness in any universe where magic isn't extremely rare or non-existent.

I kinda wish they did more with that and made supes use other abilities (like his wind blowing effect, eye lasers and super speed) to deal with magic he isn't invulnerable to. It's so rare they actually have superman use those abilities defensively, it would be nice to see it happen more, especially in movies etc.

My favorite superman show of all time has been Smallville, Lex being one of my favorite villians of all time (along with Kingpin from Netflix's Daredevil). In that show they did deal with magic and even had other people swap bodies with Superman and get his powers etc. They did a really good job of making him vunlnerable to magic (but not weak against it). I have tried (3 times) to watch the newest superman show on the CW but ugh, it just.....it's like a chore to watch. I wonder if the inner child that enjoys superman has died inside me, or if the show just plain sucks.
