Answer 2

You've obviously never read the story of the Golem, the original Jewish superhero.
Check "golem" in wikipedia for the full story, or read "The Amazing Adventurs of Kavalier and Clay" for a very entertaining look at the Golem and superheros/comic books in general.

and fyi, it's "Semitic," not "semetic."

Answer 3

Just how exactly do you know that there are no Jewish superheroes? Might it be that the superheroes chose to keep their choice of religion to themselves on the grounds that it is nobody else's business?

Answer 4

I think that if you have a problem or you want something in a superhero or any kind of story, you should create your own. If you want something to be a certain way, make it your way
