Stan Lee
First, he bested Indy heavyweight, Harvey Pekar in a bitterly contested match. Then he clobbered his own creation, the Thing in round 2. Will Stan-The Man- Lee have enough strength to take on the most popular Jewish female in all of comix!? Even though he created the X-men that later on included Shadowcat, can Lee take on the young woman who inspired Joss Whedon to create Buffy the Vampire Slayer?! Lee promoted multiculturalism in comics throughout his epic career, a prime example of Tikkun Olam (healing of the world). We connected him with the real-world community building organization United Jewish Communities.
Shadowcat
First she trounced Go Girl and then she served up some beat down to the green-haired shrink, Doc Samson. Yes, yes she may be dead in Marvel continuity (Thanks Mr. Whedon) but she is alive and well and still phasing our hearts. Because of her indomitable will and pride in her family and culture, Kitty Pryde embodies The Jewish Women’s Archives.
