[DC] Why is magic always listed as a notable vulnerability for Superman? Aren't beings like Martian Manhunter similarly affected?

Magic is one of Superman's vulnerabilities, as he isn't weak to it like kryptonite; he just doesn't (usually) have any resistance to magic.

But individuals like MM are the same, right? If a god-tier entity cast a spell on MM, it should work like intended.  Why is magic vulnerability so notable for Superman, as well as other Kryptonians?

Because so little else bothers them. Martian Manhunter can be disabled (at least mentally) with a flame thrower. Taking down Superman isn't nearly as easy.

When you've got a guy who can tank planet-busting attacks, being able to say "this bolt of lighting will do to him exactly what it would do to a normal human being" is a pretty big deal.

Also, people tend to forget that Martian Manhunter is as powerful (if not more so) than Superman. He mused on that fact himself in one of the JL books. MM can do pretty much everything Superman can, *plus* turn invisible, shapeshift, and control the minds of damn near everybody on the planet. But he doesn't look human, and so people forget about him.
