[Superman] If you hit Superman with a sword would the blade bend around him or just break?

It's more about the construction of the sword than the man. A low hardness/low ductility sword (like a shitty mall gift shop sword) bends on impact and stays bent. A low hardness/high ductility sword (like a light foil for sport fencing) or high hardness/high ductility sword (like a very good, modern make spring steel blade) bends, but rebounds to the original shape unless heavily stressed, with the high hardness sword potentially suffering some damage. A high hardness, low ductility sword (like a traditionally forged katana) breaks if swung into Supes with sufficient force.
