I find it wonderfull that the best super heroes there are are based on christan belifes. We've just seen some of Ultraman's referances, and even Superman has his own but not as much I don't think. His original name Kal-El is actually hebrew for Voice of God. To be more detailed I'll put in what wikipedia say's: Because Siegel and Shuster were both Jewish, some religious commentators and pop-culture scholars such as Rabbi Simcha Weinstein and British novelist  Howard Jacobson suggest that Superman's creation was partly influenced by  Moses,  and other Jewish elements. More recently, this interpretation has been endorsed by biographer Larry Tye. [46]  For example, Superman's Kryptonian name, "Kal-El", resembles the  Hebrew words קל-אל, which can be taken to mean "voice of God".  The suffix " el", meaning "(of) God," is also found in the name of angels (e.g.  Gabriel,  Ariel), who are flying humanoid agents of good with superhuman powers. Tye suggests that this "Voice of God" is an allusion to Moses' role as a prophet.  Moreover, Kal-El's parents send him away in a vessel, delivering him to new adoptive parents in an alien culture in order to save him from impending doom, just as Moses' parents do.  "The narratives of Krypton's birth and death borrowed the language of Genesis." T

There's also Jor-L's line in the first movie in the 70's: the people of Earth "can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all...their capacity for good...I have sent them you, my only son."

Doesn't that remind you of someone?
