But what was there, really? His age, the fact he was born different from everyone else (Immaculate Conception--> First natural birth in centuries), when he jumped off the spaceship he had a Christ figure, he went to a church and was compared to Jesus, he is taken in by strangers who found him and raised differently than usual (Moses reference, but still), the Holy Trinity (Jor-El and Johnathan= The Father, Kal-El= The Son, Jor-El's ghost/hologram thingy= The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost), and him arriving on Earth to help but still being persecuted by the people (the goverment in MoS). There's a lot, but I guess you do have to think to make the comparison.

1. Age is just a number, and we only speculate how old Jesus was (early-to-mid thirties).

2. Meh, no argument there.

3. I don't recall that.

4. Important to the mythos.

5. I think the coolness made up for that, and that seems a tad too looked-into (I might have just made that phrase up, but I digress).

6. Most superheroes go thorugh this anyway.
