While Warner Bros. is releasing the new Superman film, “Man of Steel,”
and the superhero himself is celebrating his 75th birthday, it seemed
a good time to ask the author of “Superman: The High-Flying History of
America’s Most Enduring Hero” to reflect on the many Jewish aspects of
the red-and-blue-costume-wearing, Clark-Kent-pretending, kryptonite-
avoiding, Lex-Luthor-battling crusader for truth, justice and the
American way.
 
Here are the top 10 reasons for thinking the Man of Steel is an
Israelite:
 
1) Superman’s creator, Jerry Siegel, acknowledges in an unpublished
memoir that he was strongly influenced by anti-Semitism he saw and
felt, and that Samson was a role model for Superman. Jerry also says
he wrote about the world he grew up in: a Cleveland neighborhood that
was 70% Jewish, where theaters and newspapers were in Yiddish as well
as in English, and there were two dozen Orthodox synagogues to choose
from but only one option, Weinberger’s, to buy your favorite pulp
fiction. It was a place and time where weaklings — especially Jewish
ones, who were more likely to get sand kicked in their faces by the
bully down the block if not Adolf Hitler — dreamed that someday the
world would see them for the superheroes they really were.
 
2) If only we’d been paying attention, we’d have seen Siegel dropping
hints of his hero’s ethnicity when Superman dropped down from a
faraway planet. On Krypton, Superman went by the name Kal-El as in
Isra-el and the prophets Samu-el and Dani-el. It means God. Kal is
similar to the Hebrew words for “voice” and “vessel.”
 
3) The alien superbaby was not just a Jew, but also a very special
one. Like Moses. Much as the baby prophet was floated in a reed basket
by a mother desperate to spare him from an Egyptian Pharaoh’s death
warrant, so moments before Kal-El’s planet blew up, his doomed parents
tucked him into a spaceship that rocketed him to the safety of Earth.
Both babies were rescued by non-Jews and raised in foreign cultures —
Moses by Pharaoh’s daughter, Kal-El by Kansas farmers named Kent — and
all the adoptive parents quickly learned how exceptional their
foundlings were. The narratives of Krypton’s birth and death borrow
the language of Genesis. Kal-El’s escape to Earth is the story of
Exodus.
 
4) Clues mounted from there. “The world,” it reads, “endures on three
things: justice, truth and peace.”
 
5) The explosion of Krypton conjures up images from the mystical
Kabbalah where the divine vessel was shattered and Jews were called on
to perform tikkun olam, repairing the vessel and the world. No one did
more of that than the Man From Metropolis.
 
6) Clark Kent was Superman trying to assimilate. Superman was the real
thing — as muscle-bound as the Polish-Jewish strongman Siegmund
Breitbart and as indestructible as The Golem — and an inspiration to
every Jewish schlump who knew there was a super being inside him. Even
kryptonite radiated with symbolism: It showed the influence Clark’s
homeland still had over its Last Son, threatening to upend his life in
the Diaspora.
 
7) Superman’s lingering heartsickness at leaving Krypton and living as
an alien on Earth was classic survivor’s guilt.
 
8) If most of his admirers did not recognize Superman’s Jewish
origins, the Third Reich did. A 1940 article in Das Schwarze Korps,
the newspaper of the SS, called Siegel “Siegellack,” the
“intellectually and physically circumcised chap who has his
headquarters in New York.” Superman was a “pleasant guy with an
overdeveloped body and underdeveloped mind.” Creator and creation were
stealthily working together, the Nazis concluded, to sow “hate,
suspicion, evil, laziness and criminality” in the hearts of American
youth.
 
9) Superman had strong cultural ties to the faith of his founders. He
started life as the consummate liberal, championing causes from
disarmament to the welfare state. He was the ultimate foreigner,
escaping to America from his intergalactic shtetl and shedding his
Jewish name for “Clark Kent.” Clark also had something in common with
his boyish creators, Siegel and his artist sidekick, Joe Shuster: All
were classic nebbishes. Clark and Superman lived life the way most
newly arrived Jews did, torn between their Old and New World
identities and their mild exteriors and rock-solid cores. That split
personality was the only way Superman could survive, yet it gave him
perpetual angst. You can’t get more Jewish than that.
 
10) A last rule of thumb: When a name ends in “man,” the bearer is
Jewish, a superhero or in this case both.
