Sentry is like made out of paper. His "invulnerability" gets pierced like in every comic of Dark avengers. It seems his "invulnerability" is more like Captain Atom's. Superman's hide is way harder to pierce.
In any case Superman has survived a godly magical arrow in the back and a godly magical sword in the chest just to mention a few.

I've never rated his durability. He couldn't even get close to the Sun without burning away. The Void heals him which is why he's still going.

Oh God, I was waiting for this one. So Superman is durable enough to take a full swing from Ares axe with damage so minimal that he would just keep on trucking?
This is why I hate Superman threads. Its a joke.

Yes. He tried to commit suicide. Sentry can will himself to certain extents. He basically just shut himself off at that point.
Ares' adamantine axe should be able to cleave through Superman.
Only problem is, he often carries less formidable axes or other weapons instead. Daken's bone claws have cut his war cleaver into pieces, for example.
I guess we can safely assume Siege Ares was using the one made out of adamantine, though. Sentry was pretty damn durable, so I don't see how anything lesser could've harmed him.

This'll help. In an interview Bendis says this.
Q: CBR NEWS: In this scene, Thor finally ends the threat of the Void AKA Bob Reynolds by killing him. It seems like when you consider the Void's power level, the only way this could have happened was because the Void wanted to die.
Brian Michael Bendis: I see there is a lot of online speculation about that, and I thought it was pretty clear. I don't like to over analyze these things. I prefer the work to speak for itself, but I'll put two things out there. [...]
Bob realized that things had gone as far as they could possibly go. There was no other end for him and without his cooperation he doesn't go away. I just didn't want to have a line in the script where someone like Spider-Woman goes, "Boy, if he didn't want us to kill him, we couldn't have killed him." I see a lot of people got it, though.

Basically he was killed because that's what he wanted. Think of it being like the opposite to when he returns form being taken apart by Molecule Man.

The only reason he burned when he was in the Sun was because he wanted to die but as revealed in the conversation he didn't want it that badly.
Which is why after SIEGE when he was in Sun and was able to stay dead.
He was still alive as a soul in the Sun fighting off the Void for control of his body. He wasn't being burnt by the Sun because of anything to do with durability. It was him wanting to die (but as seen not enough to stay as a skeleton.)
You saying the Void heals him is (in my opinion) incorrect if you are referencing that specific situation. Although I might be wrong in this instance in which case we can discuss the other.
