Did you know that Superman was originally created by two American Jewish teenage boys. His real name, Kal-El, is a play on the Hebrew words that means voice of God - El being God, of course. His alter ego's name is Clark Kent. Kent was a common Americanization of Cohn, the last name of the Jewish family of high priest directly descended from Aaron, Moses' brother. There are so many Jewish undertones in the story once one realizes it. Superman is the kind of savior many Jewish people expected their Messiah to be - one who would right social wrongs. They did not envision their savior dying on a cross for humanity's sins. I am so thankful for the REAL SAVIOR of manking, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is more than a Superman; He is God incarnate.
