Quanchi112, no biggie as far as I'm concerned. Even in the non-canon context of JLA/Avengers, Superman catching a Mjolnir swing with his bare hand is utter garbage. Mjolnir is magic and such an attempt would have broken Superman's hand as easily as a simple swipe of a magical blade pierces Superman's skin. Superman has been utterly dazed by a simple Captain Marvel punch. Even considering that somehow Mjolnir and Superman's hand's interaction was reduced to the level where neither had an advantage over the other, let me just say, if anybody ever tried to catch an object of that size swinging down on their hand... ouch.
Unfortunately, Busiek decided that blunt magical objects are different from sharp magical objects. Utter nonsense. But yeah, chalk it up to editorial mandate and PIS rather then trying to justify it logically through some theory that requires a bit of convolution. According to JLA/Avengers, people who are vulnerable to magic, may still counter blunt physical magic force trauma with pure strength and durability... while they cannot counter sharp physical magic force trauma with pure strength and durability.
Yeah. It doesnt' make sense to me either. Which is why I choose to banish JLA/Avengers from my mind in debating vs threads. The ideas behind it's canon nature are too hotly debated for it to be ever relied on anyway.
P.S. Fangirl101. Let's be honest, here. I'm pretty sure Quanchi112 is unabashedly Marvel-biased. But he makes his points and he doesn't spam or bash when debating. Convoluted theories and narrow points of view are pretty regular here. As far as I'm concerned, let everyone have their say and have the onlookers decide for themselves. The course of your debates with each other and other people are enjoyable to read, honestly. Peace.
