American Jews actually "invented" the modern comic book/super hero industry as we know it. Back in the day, comic books were seen as a "low class" pursuit for artists and Jews were still being pushed out of various high-societal pursuits. There are actually a lot of Jeiwsh paradigms/themes threaded into the stories of major super heroes. It was a match made in heaven. ;)
Book on the subject if anyone is interested.
