Should it matter if he is Jewish or not? A little bit. I have no proof Steve Niles is not Jewish, but I have not seen any Bar Mitzvah photos either. The term golem is used as a Yiddish diss meaning stupid fool. It is not mindless or rampaging, but designed with a very specific set of goals based on what its creator needs.” Niles is correct that the Golem is created for a set purpose, but he stated that the monster is “not mindless” this goes against the most every version of the story. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Niles stated “The Golem is monster created from faith and extreme emotion. The golem is a false savior stupid and uncontrollable. One of the main themes of the story is that creation is not to be messed with. The tale is by far the Jewish tale gentiles are most obsessed with, and there have been many versions of it in mainstream media including movies, a Simpsons cameo and an appearance on the X-Files. There is even a Pokémon character based on the clay mammoth. Comic superheroes have been compared to golems because they are artificial life created to protect people. The Golem myth was a clear influence on Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. In most stories the artificial life form eventually goes nuts, loses its purpose and starts killing innocents. There have been many versions of the story, the most well-known takes place in 16th century Prague. The golem is a clay monster created by a Rabbi using magic in order to protect Jewish communities from anti-Semitism and Pogroms. The golem is one of the most well-known Jewish mythological creatures. The giant clay monster from Jewish legend goes on a Nazi-killing rampage in order to protect the inhabitants of a small Jewish stronghold and an injured British pilot. The comic is set for release by Dark Horse Comics on June 12th, with art by Matt Santoro and covers by Dave Watcher. Should I check for a circumcision or does it matter whether Niles is a Yid or not?
