Welcome to Gaia! ::

Which comes in handy. Look at Batman, he couldn't do anything without gadgets and a giant mansion to hide everything.

He gets the chicks too. BALLIN'! xp

Are you talking about the show on Sci-Fi? I haven't watched it, but it looked interesting.

To King: Yeah I'm talking about the show.

Dark: Who Wants to be a Superhero is a Sci Fi channel reality show, like American Idol. Whoever wins, their character becomes the focus of Stan Lee's next superhero comic.

Jewcano? That's what they called me back in high school!

Actually, after the Great Gatsby, people liked "Jewess"...

What were the names/abilites of the others?

If I'm not mistaken, Marvel is a Jew. Thus, all the heroes from his comics are Jews too xd .

I don't have one hero I wanna be. I'd like to be like Drizzt though...

Superman's name, Kal-El, was originally supposed to be Kol-El -- "the voice of G*D." He was meant to be much like a golem, a figure straight out of Jewish legend, in terms of his superhuman strength and speed and his strong "boy scout" mentality, that everyone could be good, true, pure, and righteous; he himself was incapable of being anything besides those virtues, much like a golem is incapable of breaking any mitzvah because he is created specifically to do mitzvot.

Surely you know of The Hebrew Hammer. The name, by the way, is based on the real 'super'hero, Y'hudah ha-Makabi (Judah the Maccabee, Judah the Hammer), of Chanukah fame.

Ben "The Thing" Grimm is Jewish.

Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde is Jewish.

Lord Zedd, chief villain in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Not a hero, but still, quite powerful. A villain to be proud of.

The only thing that's running my head right now is,
David Lee Roth, lights a menorah
So does James Cahn, Kirk Douglas, and the Late Dina Shore-a
Guess who eats together at the Carnige Deli
Bowser from Sha-na-na, and Authur Fonzarelli

I love that song. But then, I love playing "spot the Jew." I've been known to see a new TV series and go, "Huh... I wonder if that actor's Jewish." Then I have to go look it up and find out. Anneliese van der Pol, who played Chelsea Daniels on Disney Channel's That's So Raven struck me that way, and sure enough, she's Jewish. A gorgeous example of Jewish womanhood, if I may say.
