    They are the same in a sense the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Spider-Man are the same.

      This is the best way of understanding religion. If you understand comic books, you understand the history of religion exactly as well.

      Edit: Except for the geographic component it us exactly the same. Like, in egyptiqn myth each god kind of takes their turn being the juiced-up heel. In greek myth ares is kind of usually a dick but sometimes hes a dick to the other guy but when he shows up in a wonder woman thing hes always gonna be fuckin shit up. Loki is usually a lovable ‘what the fuck did you do!?’ playful accidental antagonist or transgressive guile hero and pretty genderfluid but when going after the hulk or dr. Strange always uses he/him pronouns for some reason.

      Edit: also i think at least one batman villain has crossed over with pro wrestling and that means the POTUS in our story has been punched by someone whos shaken a hand that has punched multuple members of the justice league.
