Superman’s Secret Jewish Identity Finally Revealed
Unpacked
This video delves into Superman's origins, highlighting how his character was shaped by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Jewish teenagers from Cleveland. Before becoming the iconic superhero, Superman was envisioned as a villain, but this concept was revamped into a story reflecting the experiences of Jewish immigrants in America. His identity as Clark Kent, as well as his Kryptonian alter ego, were inspired by the creators' own lives of economic struggle and social marginalization. The video emphasizes Superman as an allegory for the immigrant success story, embodying themes of resilience and transformation, central to both Jewish and American narratives.
