The original Superman , the comics one is more like Moses, now the movies are "converting" him in Jesus-alike.

  Superman's origin story in both Movies and Comics is absolutely based on Moses. But I don't think Superman really acts like Jesus, or Moses would in any situation. I'm curious how you think the comics express Superman's personality or actions differently than the movies?

    In the absence of anything other than a common origin, it may not be based on Moses. The story of Moses abandonment and adoption is itself a retelling of an older Sumerian myth, and thst was probably a retelling as well.

      Go far enough back, and it's a metaphor for the fact that humanity themselves are descended from aliens, rather than evolved from terrestrial primates. Perhaps humans remembered this in ancient Sumeria or before? See also: The Jungle Book.

      That would be Sargon I: http://www.fortfairfieldjournal.com/fte/060717.html http://www.fortfairfieldjournal.com/fte/060717.html There's a great big book about it.
