A radiation-ridden asteroid heading for Earth can only be stopped by a vintage 1955 solar-powered, succah-shaped force-field, whose components were camouflaged fifty years ago and hidden in important Jewish historic spots across the globe.

In a race against time, The Jewish Hero Corps follows clues to track down where their predecessors hid the devices more than half a century ago.

In February, it will ALSO be available at the Jewish Hero Corps' Web site, http://www.jewishsupers.com.

The Jewish Hero Corps, the world's only Jewish superhero team, fights for truth and justice, and against ignorance. Charter members Magen
David, Menorah Man, Dreidel Meidel, and Minyan Man, have recruited Shabbos Queen, Matzah Woman and Kipa Kid ... and the adventures have
only begun!

It's really cool that these characters are identified as Jewish. Three of my four greatest personal heroes (as opposed to super-heroes) were Jewish (although I guess Jesus technically would qualify as a super-hero, now that I think of it). God knows its hard to imagine the history of the comic book without a lot of amazing Jewish creators.
I just hope that the super-heroes haven't ever been identified specifically as Zionists.
I really don't want to see Zionism celebrated or promoted by any popular heroes. Just like I'd be opposed to a superhero espousing South African Apartheid or the Third Reich. Racism sucks.

Please, everybody, pray for Palestine.

Sorry for offense to anybody anytime anywhere, but on the sixtieth anniversary week of this brutal occupation I strongly felt it needed to be said.

at least give him an honorable mention...

I never really thought about Nite Owl being Jewish. A nerdy, neurotic superhero with intimacy issues and a fetish? Who would have thought!

Unless he's really, really, REALLY in denial.

We know the Wandering Jew exists in the DC Universe because he showed up in Arak, Son of Thunder (which doesn't eliminate the possibility of his becoming the Stranger at some point, of course). As for his converting, I had a short story a few years ago where he remains Jewish in the present ("If he was the Son of God, why would he curse me like this? I wasn't one of the ones flinging cowpies at him.").

I would strongly dispute the idea the Phantom Stranger is just a supernatural force following his nature. Whatever he is or was, I think he's in charge of his own destiny (the Spectre, you have a point on).

As for the Roma, gypsy characters are given even less ethnic feel than Jews in comics, probably because people know less about them and their traditions.

"Colossal Boy was established as Jewish conveniently soon after Kitty Pryde debuted in Uncanny X-Men. Remember, Colossal Boy is from Earth."

I figure you're just joking, but I doubt that it was planned that way. The Holiday Special mentioned above which revealed that Gim was Jewish was published just three months after Kitty's first appearance in X-MEN 129. Kitty didn't actually join the team until almost a year later; she had no popularity to capitalize on at that point. Plus, the scene which showed Gim celebrating Hanukah with his family was just one panel among many where Superboy was learning some of the many ways the holidays were celebrated in the 30th century.

BTW, that story was drawn by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. Absolutely beautiful art.

I don't take that myth seriously either. But many have over the generations. And it's had a hand in perpetuating anti-semitism throughout the centuries.
