If you REALLY want to see something wild & crazy, sit down with Superman and a STRONG’S Exhaustive Concordance of the KJV.
Here are just a few examples of the made-up words in Superman, and what they mean in Hebrew or Greek (The languages of the New Testament)
Krypton (Superman’s home planet)(Gr) The Secret Place (We get the words “crypt” and “cryptic”
Jor-El (Superman’s Father) (Hebrew) Archer-of God
Kal-El (Superman’s real name) Man of God
Smallville (can anything good come out of Smallville? LOL)
Metropolis (Gr) The Great (or big) City
Lex Luther (Lex is Latin for “The Law” and “Luther” is the name of someone who was an important figure in Christian history, especially with regard to the argument about “Law vs. Grace”
Lois and Lana Lane (Superman had a history of falling in love with ladies whose initials were “L.L.” Of course, “El” means “God” in Hebrew.
“Lois” is derived from the French “Aloysius” which means “Warrior”. It is also the root for the names Louis, Louise, Lou, and Louanne.
These are just memories from 37 years ago when I checked it out, and it was when I had a LOT of time on my hands. hahaha
Now, I truly don’t believe the creator of Superman had any of this in mind, but it is funny how it panned out.
As Superman himself would exclaim, “HOW IRONIC!” LOL.
((((Just yesterday, I was having a very important discussion with my 4-year old grand nephew William. William LOVES Superman, so we discussed how important it was for Ma and Pa Kent to teach Superboy RIGHT FROM WRONG at a very early age, and give him a strong moral compass so that he would always use his powers for good and not evil. William nodded his head very gravely and said, “You’re RIGHT, Auntie!”)))
Wow!
I didn’t know all that.
I could see a book written about all that.
Good work!
