The references to being Earth's savior, listening to peoples prayers from heaven, the only son given to Earth, the immaculate conception?
 
superman has always been that. what immaculate conception though? jor-el definetly was banging supermans mom just like superman was definetly banging lois lane
 
Well, in my opinion, religion is found in too much popular entertainment.
*coming from watching a sci-fi series where everyone started praying for a solid 5 minutes halfway through*
 
superman gets with lois in superman 2
bryan uses 1&2 as background
granted supes had his powers taken away before he got jiggy with lois (but dna is dna)
then several months pass, superman leaves for 5 years
 
While kind of an immaculate conception. In superman 2, superman used his super powers to erase Lois' memory of his secret identity. Thus erasing her memory of when they fucked. So to her it is an immaculate conception
 
Story of how Michael Uslan got his comic book course accredited.


Scene: Early 1970s. Wiseguy kid (Uslan) in Spiderman T-shirt and jeans talking animatedly to group of skeptical Indiana University department potentates.

First professor (half-glasses perched on tip of his imperious nose): ?Comic books are not folklore, not mythology. They?re cheap entertainment for kids?no more, no less.?

Uslan: ?Are you familiar with the story of Moses??

First professor: ?I am not sure what game you are playing here, son, but I will go along with it. The Hebrews were being persecuted and first-born sons were being slain, so one family took their son, put him in a wicker basket, and sent him down the River Nile. He was discovered by the Pharaoh?s daughter and raised as her own. Then he grew up, learned about his background, and became a hero.?

Uslan: ?Okay, stop there. Do you remember the story of Superman? Planet Krypton is about to be blown up, so a scientist and his wife put their son in a little rocket ship and send him to earth. (Celebratory music builds.) He?s discovered by the Kents, who raise him as their own.?

First professor (staring at the upstart in bemused defeat): ?Your course is accredited.?
 
Das ubermensch-- Nietzsche
During the 1950's people were afraid of the kkk and some guy infiltrated kkk radio and started the superman series (i am not fucking kidding. it wa sin freakonomics)
Current superman now is off the comics, movies, tv shows, games, cartoons etc. All stemming from Nietzsche's ubermensch. Albeit VERY different
