Superman (Kal-El) is Hebrew for "all that is God"...the "x" in x-mas stands for the Greek χ which is the first letter in Χριστός (Christ)...


1. Why does Superman's status as an immigrant and orphan make him deeply American?


2. What is the significance of Superman's ability to fly?


3. How is Superman like nothing so much as an American boy's fantasy of a messiah?


I am a visitor from heaven if you will
I am an improvement on the Western
Israf-el, Aza-el, Uri-el, Yo-el, Rapha-el
and Gabri-el also adopted the image 
of a wimp growing up Smallville
Kal means "with lightness and swiftness"
one is real, one an illusion, take my 
cape for example, which only exists
so as to render flight, a seamless line, 
a veritable growth from behind my pecs
like an angel's wings, a real alien,
an extraterrestrial, a visitor from heaven
