Pope Reborn as Superhero in Comic
Wed Apr 6, 9:38 AM ET
BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Pope John Paul II is being reborn in a
Colombian comic book as a superhero battling evil with an anti-Devil
cape and special chastity pants.
The first episode of the "Incredible Popeman" is about to go on sale in
Colombia and shows the late Polish pontiff meeting comic book legends
such as Batman and Superman to learn how to use superpowers to battle
Satan.
"The pope was a real-life superhero, of flesh and blood," said Colombian
artist Rodolfo Leon, a non-practicing Catholic who has been working on
the comic book for about a year.
Like any self-respecting superhero, the Incredible Popeman has a battery
of special equipment. Along with his yellow cape and green chastity
pants, the muscular super-pontiff wields a faith staff with a cross on
top and carries holy water and communion wine.
In the comic book, the pope dies and is reborn with superpowers beyond
the infallibility Catholic doctrine gave him on Earth.
Leon said he was saddened by the death Saturday of John Paul II, whom he
admired. The artist worried some people might be offended by such a
revered figure becoming a comic book hero, but said the reception so far
has been good.
Apart from predominantly Catholic Colombia, the book will be sold in
Poland and publishers in Mexico, Canada and the United States have
expressed interest, Leon said.
He also plans to produce Incredible Popeman action dolls.
"He isn't John Paul II any more," Leon said. "From now on, he's the
Incredible Popeman."

This may sound like I'm taking the *****...but this isn't the first time
there's been a pope comic book. I was a collector and fan of Marvel comics
for many years, and in the early 80's they actually had a two part comic
book on the life of Pope JP2....needless to say I didn't add it to my
collection...but now I'm actually regretting it!

Strangely enough no.....that means there are at least 3 different pope
comics. The one I remember was from Marvel Comics.

I didn't know that. When I was a kid, I read all sorts of comic books,
Batman, Superman, Captain Marvel, The Green Hornet, etc. I wish I had
kept them. I also collected baseball trading cards. I threw them out
when I moved away from home. Some of them could be worth serious money
now.

I wonder how the comics explained his Parkinson's disease?
Perhaps it was some evil arch-enemy cartoon character that cursed him?

It wasn't Parkinsons. He had sworn off boys and the shakes were the
withdrawal symptoms.
*Now* someone gives the RCC 'Chastity Pants' and the person so clothed
doesn't need them now!

Pope Reborn as Superhero in Comic
Wed Apr 6, 9:38 AM ET
BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Pope John Paul II is being reborn in a
Colombian comic book as a superhero battling evil with an anti-Devil
cape and special chastity pants.
The first episode of the "Incredible Popeman" is about to go on sale in
Colombia and shows the late Polish pontiff meeting comic book legends
such as Batman and Superman to learn how to use superpowers to battle
Satan.
"The pope was a real-life superhero, of flesh and blood," said Colombian
artist Rodolfo Leon, a non-practicing Catholic who has been working on
the comic book for about a year.
Like any self-respecting superhero, the Incredible Popeman has a battery
of special equipment. Along with his yellow cape and green chastity
pants, the muscular super-pontiff wields a faith staff with a cross on
top and carries holy water and communion wine.
In the comic book, the pope dies and is reborn with superpowers beyond
the infallibility Catholic doctrine gave him on Earth.
Leon said he was saddened by the death Saturday of John Paul II, whom he
admired. The artist worried some people might be offended by such a
revered figure becoming a comic book hero, but said the reception so far
has been good.
Apart from predominantly Catholic Colombia, the book will be sold in
Poland and publishers in Mexico, Canada and the United States have
expressed interest, Leon said.
He also plans to produce Incredible Popeman action dolls.
"He isn't John Paul II any more," Leon said. "From now on, he's the
Incredible Popeman."
