One of the things I like most about science fiction and superheroes is that they allow us to explore what it means to be human! Comic books, like all great literature and art, cover all the range of human experiences and expression. This includes religion and spirituality. No one can deny that your religion informs your world view. Your world view control how you think and what you do. It's no different for Superman or Spiderman; Wolverine or Batman. Check out the site to see some well-thought out analysis for the religious affiliations of some well known fictional characters. This is a real cool website! They writers of the site gives good reason for coming up with the religious affiliations they are prescribing to the characters. I may do more posts based on some of my favorite characters.
