goat who dreamed he was a sheep
I could see an Orthodox superhero being pretty easily doable if a devout Orthodox writer was involved. They have to pretty much be a superhero who happened to be Orthodox, if that makes sense. I'm reminded of the story in Fr. Arseny about the soldier who was devout. When another soldier reported him to the commanding officer the CO castigated the soldier and basically said, "He's the best soldier we have, he's brave, honest and considers the lives of his comrades above his own, we will not have him imprisoned because he's a Christian, just overlook it.
Genuine faith and Orthodox values would make for a very heroic person IMO. The things Cap does, and the bravery he demonstrates before the procedure really resonates with people on a deep level. The grenade scene in the movie gave me chills and made regard him as a hero right then. I mean, the guy jumped on a grenade he presumed real, to save the lives of men who were likely making fun of him on a regular basis. Now if we could put such Christ-like virtues in a character who did them because of his/her faith, that would be awesome to see.
