Comment – In this tale, Colossal Boy is revealed to be Jewish. At the time, I recall reading that he was the first Jewish super hero in a mainstream comic book. I have never ab;e to confirm or refute this. But it is interesting to note that in 2010, in DC Holiday Special 2010, 31st century Earth celebrates only one noliday, eliminating all other religious and secular holidays.
