What if Jesus Christ was more than just a historical figure, and instead, a modern-day superhero navigating the colorful pages of Marvel and DC Comics? We unravel this intriguing concept by examining how the iconic figure has been portrayed across major comic book universes. From the classic biblical narratives in DC's "Picture Stories from the Bible" to Marvel's bold 1990s adaptations, we speculate whether these portrayals were reactions to cultural waves like the Satanic Panic or simply creative retellings aimed at specific audiences. With a playful spirit, we reimagine biblical figures donning capes and tights, transforming age-old stories into superhero sagas.
