I noted this discussion over at my own blog (http://captionbox.net/loosepages/?p=375), but there was a really fun-then-thought-provoking commentary over at Comics Should Be Good concerning the Top 5 Jewish Superheroes: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.co … perheroes/

Rather than focusing on the article itself, though, read through the comments that follow. All sorts of posters question what defines a Jew, how readers identify Jews, whether Jewish morality extends more widely beyond practitioners, etc. I really like how this unfolded, the way that the medium allowed this examination.

What do Beliefnetters here -- familiar or not with superheroes themselves -- think?
