What if the most famous superheroes — from Superman and Thor to Captain America and Doctor Strange — were all inspired by stories far older than comic books?

In “Biblical Superpowers: How God Inspired the Age of Marvel Superheroes,” we uncover the divine origins of extraordinary power — the moments in Scripture when humans wielded abilities beyond imagination. From Moses parting the sea to Elijah calling down fire, from Samson’s supernatural strength to Christ’s mastery over nature and death, the Bible is filled with real accounts of divine might that echo through today’s myths of modern heroes.

We’ll explore how comic book creators borrowed archetypes of faith, redemption, and divine power — transforming prophets into icons, miracles into mutations, and heavenly missions into cinematic universes.

This is not fantasy — it’s the forgotten truth about where true power comes from.

“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.” — Matthew 6:13
