Poll Do You Think Superman is a god? (50 votes)

Yes 24%
No 76%

Superman is a god only metaphorically, but not literally.

This was during Infinite Crisis. Infinite Crisis is basically a story that deals the consequences, and decision not only what happened to Crisis on Infinite Earths, but what choices what heroes make.Dc comics is ideological,symbolic, literature with Judeo-Christian and roman Mythology thrown in.

No. And If he ever starts to think he is........DC has plenty of heavy hitters to knock him off his throne, and back in line.

Since there are actual deities in the DC universe and Superman isn't one of them...

@battle_forum_junkie: Superman said it himself that he is not a god.

Exactly. Like I said; gods, like Zeus, Ares and Athena actually exist in the DC universe - being some of the first things created by the Godwave. So no, I wouldn't consider Superman one of DC's gods.

What prompted you to make this a poll, if you don't mind my asking?

No. I don't know why people keep bringing this up. Are the Daxamites, Martians or any other relatively powerful alien races?

@battle_forum_junkie: I wanted to see how many people think he is "god".Clearly he himself admitted his not. It just people use it as metaphorically.

SOHH what is a "g-d"? The "New G-ds" are physical beings that are born. Thor was born and hails from a physical location. If you guys are talking "The Holy Spirit" then no Super is no g-d. If you are talking about a character that can do anything and go anywhere the Super is the definition of a g-d. Do g-ds in mythology even have the better feats than Super?

This is exactly what comics have managed to do. Create a new pantheon for modern consumers.

He is an American icon. So sure is. Need I mention the neo-biblical metaphors associated with the character?

I suppose it depends on how you define the term, 'god'. He is certainly an object of veneration by his fans, so there is that.

No, he's just a superhuman. He's a kryptonian, take him to a red sun and he's weak. There are actual gods in DC, superman isn't one of them.

No but he can appear godly by performing feats faster than the human eye can see. For example, he can take a glass of water, show it to people, then run so quickly to the supermarket to buy wine and switch it with the water, ordinary people think he turned water into wine
