      most Superman writing since Byrne attributes his invulnerability to a zero range psychokinetic forcefield; Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan running away from the destroyer droids in Phantom Menace suggests lightsabers aren't great against force fields, so Clark is probably in good shape

          If a lightsaber is a projection from the hilt wouldn't the saber just stop at his hand unless he was making an effort to hold it gingerly

          Also if his hand can block it wouldn't his entire body be invulnerable just the same way? Why try to catch it at all?

          i could see where if he's invulnerable enough that it can't injure him but not invulnerable enough that it doesn't sting, he wouldn't want Vader poking him in the eye with it

          Could Vader deflect Superman's eye beams with the saber? I'd assume yes. Can Supes be injured by his own eye rays?

          whoo, now that depends a hell of a lot on who's writing. even whether he has "beams" depends on that. but various version of Superman have been shown to only be able to shave by using heat vision in a mirror, so that at least suggests when he does have beams they can hurt him

          The real question is whether Vader's helmet is radiation-shielded so Supes can't see through it and stop himself before pulping an old man

          oh god, it probably is, and Clark would feel so bad about mulching Anakin. probably wouldn't happen, though; the fact that he's fighting a guy in a mobile iron lung isn't likely to escape his super-hearing

          Superman is vulnerable to magic. If lightsabers serve as a focus for the Force, maybe vulnerable to Vader's saber... #SeekingArgument

          a fair number of sources claim lightsaber use involves direct Force manipulation (as opposed to just using Jedi combat precog to avoid cutting your own arms off), so that's likely if the Force is magic

          Replying to @chaosprime @ersatzverite @ryanqnorth

          that's pretty debatable, though, and in thematic expression Force use is closer to traditional psionics than traditional magic, and Supes has no special problems with psionics

          Now I'm looking up Psimon, Psycho Pirate, Queen Bee, and Hector Hammond to try and figure out how Superman fairs against psychics.

          his mind isn't invulnerable, that's for sure. he's strong-willed, but only superhumanly so when it suits the story. if he were actually *vulnerable* to psionics the way he is to magic, though, his physical invulnerability wouldn't work against a physical psionic attack.

          If his invulnerability is psychokinetic, interfering with his mind would leave him vulnerable to conventional attacks as well.

          Which is probably a strong argument against why his invulnerability is a physical attribute and not psychic.

          same psychokinesis anyway, yeah. and under the Byrne "everything is PK" model, heat vision is psychokinetic molecular agitation (he tried to get people to stop representing it as beams, failed miserably)

          Does seem like beams are much easier to draw than him mentally grabbing every molecule he's looking at it and giving it a good shake.

          yeah, Byrne's version was a red glow inside his eyes accompanied by whatever he's looking at bursting into flames, which is honestly sexy as hell if you're a nerd about the nuances of PK but lacks a certain visual drama expected by sequential art audiences

          Yeah -- it works if you're FOCUSING on it, but doesn't work if you want him doing a fly-by in the background of a big fight or the like.

          I'm headcanoning that he's not super PRECISE in his use of it, so the beam we see is all the air being PKed between his eyes and his target.
