Comic book fans might want to throw away an afternoon exploring one of the better time-wasters I’ve stumbled upon lately: the Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Characters webpage. The site features an exhaustive listing of the religions of comic book characters, both mainstream and obscure, with numerous links and bios supporting their assertions.
What do we find out? Superman is Methodist, Spider-Man is Protestant, the Thing is Jewish, and Colossus is an atheist thanks to his Communist upbringing. There are also representatives from the subterranean Lava Man religion, Femizonian female supremacists, and God, who’s made a few comic book appearances. (Interestingly, there are characters who’ve met God but still don’t believe in him…notably, the Savage Dragon.)
