Another thread got me to thinking a bit about religious super heroes. They do occur in comic books. Some it barely gets mentioned, some few are quite devout in their faith...

How much or little does your typical super human in your campaign (or game if you are a player) let his/her faith affect his/her life especially AS a super hero?

Should also mention that my games take place in an alternate Marvel universe, one player did worship Apocalypse as a god, another was a time traveler (and Magneto's great-great-granddaughter) who had a religion founded by Sam Guthre worshiping Professor X, Magneto, Cable and Apocalypse.

That was kinda cool. People have written entire essays on the religious denominations of various super-powered folks...

I'll repeat my criticisms of this list as I've done every time it's posted...

Apocalypse doesn't worship the Egyptian gods. He was raised in a nomadic tribe who had their own beliefs and he has posed so often as gods (Egyptian or not) over the years and his actions against Loki on what he deemed outsiders meddling in human affairs make a strong case that he's not into worshipping any deity...

[Editor of Adherents.com website responds to poster Dizzy D's comment: I wasn't aware of these points. I will remove Apocalypse from our collage page picture depicting comic book characters who are adherents of Egyptian classical religion.]
