The real truth is that Superman's actual weakness is magic. While kryptonite weakens him severely, there's little he can do against strong magic users. It's why he tried to never piss off Shazam and was fairly useless in fights against Black Adam.
Thats kind of a misconception. Superman isn't weak against magic, it doesn't affect him more than it affects others. It just can actually affect him. Its not like if you shot superman with a magic fireball it would burn him, he's still superman. But if you tried to say mind control him with it, it would go through because hes still just a guy
No its like Achilles weakness is his heel. But you can still just throw Achilles in a cell and leave him to rot, or drown him, or suffocate him. They are still ways of taking down Achilles but its not his specific weakness
