There was an Israeli mutant superhero in Marvel. Sabra, I think. Does she count?

Kitty Pryde by Chris Claremont? And Magneto by Claremont too.

>Claremont is Jewish on his mother's side, and lived in a kibbutz in Israel during his youth
Ian Evans
He was not intended by Kirby or Lee to be Jewish. That was a later retcon.
I guess they retconned Peter B. Parker to be Jewish in the Spider-Verse movie too if we're counting those.
Jonathan Roberts
Oscar in Summer Camp Island is coded as Jewish. He uses Yiddish words, like mentioning his mom refers to him as bubbeleh. Also the godmonster. She uses words like knish and tuchus. She seems bad at the start but in the end we find out she's not so bad. Someone mentioned Alice Fefferman also has a usually-Jewish surname, although she is a less sympathetic character.
The creator Julia Pott is not Jewish. Someone claimed she had a Jewish boyfriend though, so maybe that's where she got that stuff.
Ayden Bell
WOW, I did not know that.
When did they retcon this?

First mention of it was "Remembrance of Things Past" in Fantastic Four (Vol 3) #56 (August 2002). Four decades after his creation.
Carter Thomas
How did they go about it?
Did they go make Ben say “Sorry Sue I can’t come today, my nephews having his Bar mitzvah” or did they just hang a Menorah in his room?
Evan Wright
Flashbacks to his youth when he visits his old neighborhood, including his bar mitzvah.
Caleb Miller
Nice. Any other retconned Jewish characters?
Charles Rivera
He said positive
Camden Rodriguez
Think this was my first none Holocaust exposure to the Jewish faith.
Ayden Watson
She is the heroine and protagonist, unlikeable as you may find her.
Jack Thomas
Holy shit I forgot about this.
Carson Peterson
The works of Will Eisner, who was Jewish. His portrayals weren't always positive but I found them a bit more realistic and honest as a jew raised in NY myself.
Benjamin Smith
maybe not necessarily POSITIVE, but realistic at least
Jack Watson
>Star is Jewish
>Star is reveled to secretly be (((piefolk)))
It all clicks together now.
Adrian Foster
Will Eisner has a ton of graphic novels about juadaism, but it has (as it should be) its lights and shadows
Ryder Foster
Steven Universe seems pretty Jewish, meaning Greg is probably Jewish too and he's by far one of the best cartoon dad's of the 2010's
Cameron Myers
Sam from Danny Phantom.
Connor Howard
So *that's* why he had Qabbalistic references n X-Men.
