What do George W Bush and Superman have in common? They're both Methodists. Spiderman is a lapsed Catholic, the Invisible Woman Episcopalian, Elektra Orthodox and Wonderwoman pagan. This section of the adherents.com site catalogues the religious affiliation of hundreds of superheroes, their archenemies and sidekicks. All questions on this vast subject are answered, with the notable exception of "Why?" It may surprise you to see the Virgin Mary listed, especially as she comes in as evangelical Protestant.
My favourite comic book character would be CAPTAIN CAVEMAN!!! - yours?

Does Speed Racer count? If not, I go for Hellboy, but I didn't see him listed. He's Catholic though.
I thought this thing listed Spidey as Protestant, not relapsed Catholic. That's Batman. (who are both pretty cool too)
nevermind, i found him.
