ReinnieR Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 what if his foster parents were jews? were they?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 There are four options here: 1. He was circumsized on Krypton before he was sent to earth, while still able to be cut. 2. The Kent family (or others) exposed him to kryptonite for a short while to make him weak enough to be cut. 3. He used a mirror and his own laser vision to do it (this, according to some of the older material, is how he shaves). 4. He isn't circumsized. [quote name='ReinnieR' post='1011195' date='Jun 23 2006, 11:44 PM'] what if his foster parents were jews? were they?? [/quote] Unlikely...Jewish farmers in the middle of Smallville, Kansas?

[/quote] you are right. for us when the bible is unclear about something we turn to tradition. we have the Magisterium. what about when DC comics is unclear about something where do we turn to?

THAT COULD KILL HIM[/quote] It could, but you know how many times he's been exposed to it. It's what he did on Smallville when he had to give blood.

Jaime Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I would think a society as advanced as Krypton, they would probably have the technology to take care of circumcision while the baby is still in utero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman is Methodist, or maybe later in His life became Catholic in "Superman of Tomorrow" Read up, its good! I didnt get to read it all but maybe His circumcision or the lack there of is mentioned.
