Doc Samson relates the story of Hannukah to a Hebrew school class, but makes it more exciting by introducing modern and superhero elements into it. In his version, Antiochus is an evil robot and superheroes Captain America, Wolverine and the Hulk were fighting alongside the Maccabees. This revision is similar to the one found in Arthur Teaches the Tick about Hannukah.

Leonard Samson (aka the superhero "Doc Samson") visits a Hebrew school to talk to the kids about Hanukkah. When they find the story too dull, he spices it up by inserting contemporary references and super-powered characters (e.g. Hulk, Wolverine, Elvis). Not unlike the Tick's version of the Hanukkah story.

The Thing may be the heaviest hitter to announce his Jewish roots, but he's far from alone. There are plenty of fellow Israelites in tights to join him at the Seder table... Then there are characters who happen to be Jewish. From Marvel, this includes Hulk supporting character Doc Samson, who we know attended yeshiva (Incredible Hulk #373).
