Your commentary about superman reminded me of something I saved a number of years ago in my database. I just found it. Here it is:

“Superman was invented by two Jewish kids in the late 1930s when there was also a worldwide upsurge in very frightening anti-semitism. Superman is discovered like Moses in the bulrushes. He’s an immigrant from another planet who comes to Earth. He has his identity as a mild-mannered intellectual, but really underneath, he’s a man of steel. I think that’s a very suggestive Jewish fantasy”.
