Dr. Fate can use magic. Can he best Superman? No. Is magic Superman's bane like Kryptonite? No.

Please explain what magic would do to Superman. He's not an ordinary mortal.

Magic is not his bane, per say. It doesn't effect him anymore than it does anyone else in the DC universe. However it does completely circumvent his invulnerability. While he can take a stroll through a mundane volcano and not feel a thing, a magical fireball would burn him just as badly as it would a mortal human. It's one of his least known weaknesses and least extreme weaknesses but magic is a weak point for him regardless. It doesn't take away his powers and magical effects aren't increased when used against a Kryptonian, unless the spell is meant to do that, but the typical invincibility that Kryptonians enjoy whilst frolicking around on earth doesn't help them any.

It's why Shazam is one of the only DC characters that can go toe to toe with Supes and occasionally manage to pull a win.
