Well, he did open the wrong end of the bag...
Considering that fictional characters break the laws of reality before breakfast every morning, I'd like to know how we would handle a character who performs such an impossible feat, granted the following bits of information.
1. The black hole is treated as the real deal. The author did his research on how it works. The tone of the work also hangs closer to "Action-Comedy" than "Looney Toons," which makes this feat, while not an outlier for the setting, highly notable and to be taken seriously.
2. The character who performed the feat did so through a combination of impossibly great strength, magical ability, and being too dumb to understand that what he just did was impossible.
3. The destruction of the black hole was shown. Specifically, it was ripped apart in a very physical and violent manner by the character in question.
4. Those who know about how black holes work don't believe that it happened when told, citing the very same logistics as this site as the reason why. Those who know the character who performed the feat consider it just another day of work for him, as breaking the laws of reality by being too dumb to understand them is part of his whole shtick.
5. Later interactions with him and black holes play out similarly, such as being hurled into one and pulling himself out, feeling more insulted than indefinitely crushed.
Basically, "How powerful would you have to be in order to ignore the strong-arm the laws of nature without being named Bugs Bunny?" I'm looking for as low-end of an explanation as possible, mostly because I find low-end characters who do the impossible more fun than advanced calculus in character form.
