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!
