Superman was only ever shot with an alien weapon and it clearly hurt him.
Look if you wanna argue that Kurse has good damage soak, fine. But his durability is crap. I mean do you honestly think he is in any way comparable to beings who can survive nukes?
Faora has been hit by Superman's fist, which I think we can all agree, is far more destructive than a sword wielded by Loki.
Superman was unharmed by Zod's ship blast, just knocked back. He wasn't KOed or anything.
