COTR Museia Series – Jesus vs Superman
The Man of Steel vs. The Son of God – Unpacking the Cultural Impact
Join us for an engaging exploration of the origins of Superman in the comics and his ongoing cultural influence. In this thought-provoking session, we’ll dive into how the Man of Steel has become more than just a superhero, drawing surprising parallels to the Son of God. Through this comparison, we’ll examine how fans and media often conflate the two figures and unpack the deeper implications of this cultural phenomenon. While fandom may not be religion, you’ll see why some treat Superman as a divine figure!
Don’t miss out on this chance to rethink the hero who’s defined generations.
