Few are as iconic and universally recognized as Superman in the vast pantheon of superheroes. With his vibrant red cape billowing behind
him as he soars through the sky, Superman has become a symbol of hope, justice,
and invincibility. Yet, beneath the surface of this beloved character lies a
fascinating connection to ancient mythologies—the notion of Superman as a
modern incarnation of a sun god. Join us as we delve into this captivating
interpretation that infuses the Man of Steel with an aura of celestial
divinity.
Superman: The Embodiment of Solar Power:
Throughout history, various cultures have worshipped sun
gods, attributing to their attributes of power, life-giving energy, and
invincibility. In many ways, Superman embodies these qualities:
Solar Energy Absorption: Superman's power comes from Earth's
yellow sun, granting him extraordinary abilities. This concept mirrors the idea
of sun gods drawing strength from the sun's radiant energy.
Life-Giving Force: In numerous mythologies, the sun is
associated with the source of life on Earth. Superman, too, is portrayed as a
protector and savior of humanity, shielding it from threats and ensuring its
safety.
Ancient Parallels:
When examining Superman's characteristics and narrative,
intriguing parallels emerge between the Man of Steel and various sun gods from
mythology:
Apollo (Greek Mythology): Apollo, the Greek god of the sun,
was renowned for his strength, healing abilities, and connection to prophecy.
Similarly, Superman possesses incredible strength, has the power of
self-healing, and is often portrayed as possessing a keen sense of justice.(1)
Ra (Egyptian Mythology): Ra, the Egyptian sun god, was
associated with creation, life, and protection. Much like Ra, Superman's role
in protecting Earth from threats aligns with this symbolism of guardianship. (2)
Huitzilopochtli (Aztec Mythology): Huitzilopochtli, the
Aztec sun god, was revered as the deity who protected his people in times of
conflict. Superman's role as Earth's protector draws parallels to this aspect
of guardian deities. (3)
So, is the Man of Steel like Jesus Christ or a Sun God?
Is Superman Really a Sun God?
In Superman: The
Last God of Krypton by Walt Simonson, Greg Hildebrandt, and Tim
Hildebrandt, published in 1999. A Kryptonian god named Cythonna(the villain) awakens to find Krypton destroyed
and seeks out the last remaining member of its civilization. She discovers Superman
on Earth and, after a display of his power, believes him to be a god-like her.
The two later have an altercation when Cynthonna realizes Clark is mortal, only
growing more outraged when he tells her he belongs to the House of El. Cythonna
tells Clark that the Els are the descendants of her greatest enemy,
Rao, the Kryptonian sun god. (Souce)
While this look at Clark's celestial heritage came from an
Elseworld story, it would help explain why Superman is as powerful
as he is. Fans already know that the inhabitants of Krypton gain powers when
exposed to yellow sun rays, as seen with Clark, Kara, and even Krypto. But the
father of Clark's house is Rao, the most powerful figure in the Kryptonian
pantheon. Rather than his biology, the Man of Steel's steadily increasing
levels of power could be credited to his divine bloodline and bathing himself
in the rays that Rao is connected to. Perhaps Superman's trip to the solar
system wasn't a last-ditch effort to save him but a matter predetermined by
the gods of Krypton. (Source)
Famed comic book writer and Chaos Magician Grant Morrison had
this eye-opening statement that Superman doesn’t represent Jesus Christ,
but a mythical sun god. Morrison’s quote from an interview with Zach Smith in 2008, called Allstar Superman:” Superman
is by no means a pacifist in the Christ sense. Superman would never turn the other
cheek; Superman punches out the bully. Superman is a fighter. When did Christ
ever batter the Devil through a mountain? A lot of the mythical sun god
elements which are layered unto the Christ story also appear in the story of
Superman.” (4)
What is the Association Between The Sun, Sun Gods, and 666?
Within the mystery religion circles and the occult, esoteric knowledge, and teachings, the Sun and Sun gods have connections with the number 666, which in the Bible in the Book of Revelation is the Mark of the Beast(The Son of Perdition, The Beast, The Antichrist).
In astrology, the sun is associated with the number 666. Some astrologers know that 666 is the summary number of the sun god. The sun itself traces a path through the sky, moving through the constellations, which the pagan astrologers count to 36. If you add all the numbers together between 1 and 36, you get 666. (Source)
666 in Kabala is also associated with the sun. In Hebrew Kabbalah, the names of the Intelligence of the Sun and the Spirit of the Sun were designed to equal 111 and 666, respectively. (Source)
The number six within Kabbalah is also considered the solar number, but the number of man, because man was created on the sixth day. 666 is looked at as the number of man raised by virtue of the Trinity( special note: Satanic Trinity The Dragon/Satan, Antichrist/ First Beast, and The False Prophet/Second Beast in Revelation 13) to the highest degree; as Revelation tells us that it not only the number of the Beast but also the number of a man.

Notice how, within the pagan occult world, they turn the Bible upside down, calling evil good and good evil. Most people believe that Hollywood portrays Superman as a type of Jesus Christ figure, but in reality, Superman is more or less the Antichrist. We will explore more on this subject in a later blog post series.
