Yes, a supervisor on WikiAnswers can indeed be blocked. If a supervisor breaks the Terms of Use agreement for WikiAnswers, he or she is in danger of being blocked from contributing to the site - just as with any other user. A normal supervisor will not have the rights to block a fellow supervisor. Community Assistants only would have that option.
Only supervisors can unblock someone, but users are blocked for a reason and are rarely unblocked. The user themselves can email Wikianswers if they believe they have been unfairly blocked.
Be warned - if you ask on WikiAnswers, how to hack into WikiAnswers - expect to get blocked from WikiAnswers. Nobody has figured out yet how to hack into WikiAnswers and unblock themselves. Nobody will.
