Translation from part of a conversation I had with @themousefromfantasyland

The fact that many of the greatest creators of comic book heroes are Jewish and that many of the actors who have played these heroes are also Jewish means that the genre has a very strong Jewish influence, even if most of the time it has to be in a more implicit, coded way

While in other media the heroes tend to be all blonde with blue eyes, the most iconic superheroes have black hair.

Not brown.

Complete black.

For superheroes, having dark hair is the norm

There is also the issue of secret identity.

These people look like standard white Christian people, but they have to hide their origin and culture for fear that it will bring discrimination and put their families at risk.

Superman, the model for all superheroes literally has an origin inspired by Moses

And that brings us to another point. That trope: "I'm secretly X, but I have to keep it a secret, otherwise my neighbors will turn against me" and the person in question easily passes as a white Protestant.

It's not like this kind of story can't be written by Gentiles, but I really believe that this whole archetype in sci-fi and fantasy comes from the experience of Jewish writers dealing with anti-Semitism.

And in the case of the Avengers, the first Captain America comic book, with the famous cover in which he punches Hitler, was printed months before the US entered the War on the Allied Side (intending to remain neutral) because its creators were worried about what was happening to their family members in Europe under Nazi occupation, and they wanted the US to step out of the comfort of neutrality to confront Hitler and stop what he was doing.

Detail that at that time many American politicians and industrialists were Nazi sympathizers and collaborators, it was more accepted to be a Nazi than the "terrible communist", and the country was as racist and anti-Semitic as Germany, even sending away ships with refugees trying to escape the Holocaust.

There were even propaganda posters with inscriptions like "Communism is Jewish."

Probably a huge chunk of what we call nerd culture probably came from Jewish artists and writers.

Maybe that's why the nerd stereotype sometimes has certain "Jewish" traits.

This also raises other questions, like the real origin of nerd bullying.
