HOW HAVE I NEVER CONSIDERED THE QUESTION OF WHAT A LIGHTSABER WOULD DO AGAINST SUPERMAN'S INVULNERABLE SKIN BEFOREpic.twitter.com/46n8t0MK6F

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
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.
that's an interesting angle, yeah! for Byrne's model to work, his psionics have to be *deeply* subconscious. i don't remember any stories involving messing with his physical powers by messing with his mind, but i'd be fascinated to know if there are any.
I guess if it is totally autonomic, you would have to take control of some very low level brain functions to deactivate it.
