Ok, imagine you're comic accurate Clark Kent and you're a working-class immigrant raised on a farm. You grow up and dedicate your life to helping people while being a total malewife to your Pulitzer prize winner girlfriend. You're despised and targeted by an unethical, megalomaniacal billionaire who thinks his intellect and his power and his wealth entitles him to your inherent abilities and the adoration you've earned through years of nonstop altruism. YOU WERE CREATED BY TWO JEWISH MEN IN THE 1930S

And then people complain about a movie about you being too woke

Superman is an immigrant Jew created by two Jewish men who were watching things get worse in Europe while quotas for Jews were being cut lower and lower by immigration laws because of the eugenics movement around the world from the turn of the century and into the 20s and 30s.

Captain America was Jewish creators making a superhero who looked like the Nazi Aryan ideal but had the heart of a real American: a sick, poor, Irish immigrant kid from Brooklyn. He didn't punch Hitler on the chin on the cover of the first issue by accident.

Fantastic Four? Created by a Jew, who gave three of the characters super neat superpowers, and the Jewish character the inability to hide his powers at all. And then showed people reacting in horrified ways to Ben's appearance like, perhaps, he'd seen happen to his family and friends and neighbors because they looked "too" Jewish.

The list goes on (Magneto being the next obvious point). If you are reading/watching/taking in superhero media from Marvel or DC (Jack Kirby especially), you are looking at a character created by Jews who put their own identities into those characters.

And this is why it's good.

It says something, I'm not sure what, that the comics didn't acknowledge Ben being Jewish on panel until 2002, nearly 40 years after his debut.

There were hints and subtext if you knew about the bit of New York he was from, and in the 70's Jack Kirby sent out a Hannukah card with Ben in prayer shawl and yarmulke, with menorah, but that was a personal thing, not featured in he comics.

But it was Fantastic Four 56 in 2002 which had him "reveal" his Jewish identity on panel, when he thinks and old man from his neighbourhood is dying and Ben can't do CPR on a normal human because... well, obvious reasons.
