Mister Mxyzptlk? One of Superman's weaknesses is magic. He has had various encounters with magic, including "earthly" witches.
Not having read many Superman comic books, I had to look that up on Wikipedia to know who that character is supposed to be. Okay, I accept your claim, and regard Superman as being about equally unrealistic as the X-Files. I had already more or less accepted the general idea from my previous claim about the odds of either stories being an accurate representation of reality.
