The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (~6 × 10^13 joules)
During the Cold War, the United States developed hydrogen bombs with a maximum theoretical yield of 25 megatons (~10^15 Joules)
A Supernova releases as much energy as the Sun emits in it's entire life or 1044 joules
which is about ten octillion megatons of TNT (~10^28 joules)
So you'd need about 10 trillon (~10^13) of the most powerful hydrogen bombs to equal a supernova.
The most powerful hydrogen bomb was the Tsar Bomb created by the Soviet Union. It was designed to output over 100 megatons of TNT but was reduced to 50 megatons in order to reduce fall out.

Will a supernova cause a black whole?
Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.
How much damage did Typhoon Marge cause?
Not much
How much damage does blizzard cause?
Nothing
What will happen if the sun will undergo supernova?
It won't - it doesn't have enough mass. But if any star converts to a supernova, it will destroy its planetary system in the process, and even cause damage to nearby solar systems (should they have life, it would be in grave peril). After the supernova phase, what remains of the star would normally convert to a neutron star, or a black hole.
