Talk about obscure websites! Check out
The Religious Affiliation of
Comic Book Characters

I couldn't believe this is an actual website. It's pretty entertaining. By the way, there are very few Lutheran superheroes. Probably because Lutherans tend to be self-effacing and work behind the scenes. We're introverts personally and Christo-centric theologically. The few Lutheran superheros that there are, are definitely second or third tier, definitely B-list as they say in Hollywood. I thought for sure that Thor would be, being Norse and all that, but then I remembered that he's a god himself, so that wouldn't work.
