SpiÂder-Man, he was apparÂentÂly a ProtesÂtant. The Hulk, a lapsed Catholic. Thor, a worÂshipÂper of a TeuÂtonÂic deity. The X‑Men, an assemÂblage of Catholics and EpisÂcoÂpalians. And StanÂley Lee, the creÂator of these famous comÂic book figÂures, he’s JewÂish. If you’re a comÂic book fan with a thing for trivÂia, you can peruse this dataÂbase of over 10,000 charÂacÂters and figÂure out the reliÂgious affilÂiÂaÂtion of BatÂman and WonÂder Woman, plus lessÂer-known charÂacÂters like Chameleon Boy, Swamp Thing, and PoiÂson Ivy.
P.S. The creaÂtures in the image above, they’re atheÂists, a catÂeÂgoÂry also tracked by this most thorÂough dataÂbase.

RealÂly, some peoÂple have too much free time. Over 30,000 CARTOON charÂacÂters in a dataÂbase with descripÂtions of the reliÂgion of each of them???
Does someÂone have time to look through this list?
It’s comÂpleteÂly nuts, that’s what it is! SomeÂwhere, someÂone in the world must have baaaaaaad dreams at night, that’s for sure: is Thor a deity? PeoÂple actuÂalÂly have THEORIES about such stuff?
