Jesus 616

copperbadge:

I was looking for Jewish mutants to include in my Erik As Cap story, and it turns out the Marvel Wiki actually has Jewish characters indexed, which is nice, that makes my life easier and it’s cool to see all the Jewish characters. . 

Then on page two I ran into Jesus of Nazareth.

Apparently they did a comic about him and he’s made a few appearances in 616. His profile is kind of wild.

All I can picture is his business card: JESUS CHRIST: SAVIOR, PROPHET, CARPENTER. (I feel like some faiths would have a justifiable “Citation Needed” attached to some parts of that statement.)

I’m also guessing the God of the New Testament is a little surprised to find that Roy Thomas and Keith Pollard created Jesus. (I believe the Wiki auto-tags the artists on the initial book as the creators.) 

But my favorite part is that his biography on the page is basically a very quick and dirty summary of the gospels…with occasional digressions for comic book trivia.

Comic books, you guys. Comic books.
