It took years to confirm in the pages of his Marvel comic book, but Marc Spector was indeed one of the first Jewish superhero alter egos, along with the Fantastic Four’s Ben Grimm. In the comics, his father, Elias, was identified as an immigrant rabbi who survived the Holocaust.
The Marvel hero now has his own streaming series, but it is unclear how much of his Jewish heritage will be reflected, at least from the first four (out of six) episodes provided for review. (But there are press reports of the casting of his Jewish parents, presumably to be seen in later flashback scenes.)
