Our good friend & devoted teacher Mike Warner has set up a sweet blog with updates on his recent move to the U.K. From his most recent post re: Superman:
But do I need Superman? I think I do -- even with Jesus as a our "hero" and role model, having characters in fiction and other mentors here on earth certainly are used by God to inspire me to greater things. Whether it's Frodo and Sam, Braveheart, or Superman, my vision is pointed to the greater good -- despite each hero's personal faults. I'm glad Superman's back, and I'll be a lot more glad when Jesus comes back to really put all things to right.
Amen to that.

In the Church, we call these "heroes" saints, and the best part is that they aren't (on the whole) fictional.
Here, here Garland. But remember that we Protestants also have saints- and we venerate them plenty too.
...St. Billy Graham, St. Elisabeth Eliot, St. Nate Saint, St. Amy Carmichael, St. Bill Bright, et al, etc.
..BTW Mrs. J, whats up with Theo of Body not showing up on your profile page any more? Did you mean to jump ship?
O Lord, MM! I mean, sheesh!
Great thoughts, guys. Huck, email me.
