One in particular is supposed to have inspired him, Zishe Breitbart. In the children’s book about him I used to read my granddaughters, there are pictures of him in a red cape, but none in the trunks over tights thing. In the image library available on DuckDuckGo, there are pictures of him in trunks, but no tights. Must have been other strongmen in the mix.
