A Jewish comic I would write if I worked for Marvel
A 12 issue story (or longer if it sells well) about a specific mysterious person forming a team of Jewish superheroes. It is unclear who the mysterious person that brought all these Jews together is, but Kitty is leading the team. It turns out eventually that it was Magneto. Though his reasons aren’t apparent at first. Then, Billy and Kitty convo with Erik, and we find out he misses certain parts of what being Jewish means, the culture, and history. He feels he had to give up that part of himself to be the mutant liberator.
And they fight some antisemites. The cast would include, Kitty, Billy, Songbird, Sabra, Sasquatch, and Ben Grimm. Maybe Tommy too. Cause I need Billy and Tommy to be in things together.
We would also get a recruitment session to explain why certain other heroes don’t make the team. For example, Doc Sampson can’t leave his patients. Bernie Rosenthal offers her legal services and explains that although she’s Jewish she is not a superhero. Justice offers help if they need it but explains he’s working on himself. They’ll need his help later.
And Moon Knight. Kitty sends Ben to get Marc. And Mark is like. “Um…yeah…I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Lorna was also approached but although she would love to, she says she can’t because of her work as an X-man. But tells Kitty to tell Billy and Tommy that she’ll see them for Shabbat Dinner at the Kaplans. We see that David Haller was also on the list of potential recruits but Kitty and the mysterious (Magneto) person say “no!”
The whole thing begins actually though with Rabbi Lowenthal confiding in that mysterious figure about some mysterious deaths or something or strange happenings among the Jewish community. And the figure asks why the Rabbi contacted him, instead of like, Ben Grimm and the Rabbi responds with how Ben has a family, and he didn’t want to burden him (Though Ironically ben will be on the team) and that he knew about this man from stories he heard from his grandfather or father. Eventually, we see a photograph of Rabbi Lowenthal’s grandfather or father and see he was a Holocaust survivor.
IDK who the bad guy is. BUt it would make sense and most of the team would know each other in some capacity or another. But that’s what i got so far.
I’d love that. Hopefully one day.
