heh. I think it makes Jesus happy to be at least as popular as Thor in
every single way. 8{D> But I think you spell it "Samson". 8{C>
As the writer who introduced Satanic superheroes to the LNH universes
(ref. "Devil Legion"), I had better skip the other theological aspects
of this comic. But I can still jump in with fanboy commentary... What
powers do the Bible Avengers have?
* Noah, of course, is a beastmaster. Think "Aquaman", only with every
landborne species. And his expected lifespan is 900+ years. So he's
probably at least as rugged as Aquaman too.
* Moses only lives 140 years or so. (Don't make me look it up.) But
he has a magic staff and can summon plagues. The trouble is, if he uses
all his powers, governments will treat him like a supervillain.
* Samson, well, we all know him already.
* Jesus has an interesting drawback: his powers are at least sometimes
limited if people don't believe in them. And let's not forget,
governments *did* treat him like a supervillain.
There's just one thing missing from this series: a female Bible Avenger!
