[edit] Believed Fictitious Jews

  • Spider-Man (Peter Parker) - never explicitly identified as Jewish, though Silver Age comic book artist Paty Cockrum has stated that the Marvel Comics editorial staff believed Parker to be Jewish.[180]

[edit] Also of Note

There also exists a team of Judaicly themed superheroes known as "The Jewish Hero Corps", printed by Leviathan press. They include Menorah Man, Yarmulke Youth, Matzah Woman, Driedel Maidel, Magen David, Minyan Man, and Shabbas Queen. They are not commonly recognized as actual characters primarily because only one issue of the comic is known to have been produced at this time.[181]
