That's like saying the world's biggest drunk is a teetotaler. It's a moot point. Being wise enough not to use magic doesn't mean he's a more powerful magic user than others.

I mean the majority of teetotalers are addicts. I didn’t even make the claim. I’m just, “Yes, And”ing a writer who writes for DC comics. It’s largely just a way of reconciling the way that John is written in the Justice League vs how he’s written in his own books.

When they put John with heavy hitters they have him slinging spells all over the place. It’s not really my vibe. I prefer in his own books where he basically just wanders into magic nonsense, makes some snarky remarks, and lets the universe implode on the guy who bit off more than he could chew.

In general Magic is a field where knowledge is power and John knows a lot about magic. As a result he knows all the ways it can mess up your life. I likened it to a guy who’s great at computer science but doesn’t keep tech in his house because of how much spies on you
