if you're looking for something in the rules to justify NOT letting magic attacks bypass BA, BR, AS, BC, or FF you DEFINITELY won't find it.-Powersurge

though not those attacks that ignore Body Armor (such as magic or mind control). - SD
The attack referred to is not an attack meant to cause physical harm, it is an attack in the sense it is meant to do harm in general. Have you ever heard of someone knocking a hero thru a wall with a Mind Control blast? No, beacuse in this case the harm is in taking control of the persons mind. In the case of

No I haven't seen it, since moving back to VT I haven't kept up with the comics at all I am sad to say.

When Doctor Strange officially became the Sorcerer Supreme he was changed by the forcers that be so he now no longer ages as a normal mortal, He is as the Ancient One was before he finally handed the burden to Strange.
And Strange is was and always will be one of the defining characters as to what is an Altered Human. Captain America uses a few high tech items but that doesn't make him an

hmm I didn't think what you said was in any way complicated.

Likewise, some bullets strike with ALOT of force and have the potential to knock one back and even lift a man off his feet.
Actually they don't. The scenes in movies where some guy gets shot and flies back thru a plate glass window are just that, scenes from a movie. Any bullet travelling with enough force to actually lift a man of his feet is gonna simply pass right thru him. What it comes
