I always assumed Magneto was Jewish and The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Characters, from Adherents.com, confirmed that belief. Other prominent Super Heroes on the list include Superman (Methodist), Batman (Episcopalian/Catholic – lapsed) and The Hulk (Catholic -lapsed).

Johnny Canuck: The Great Canadian Super Hero
Author: DPCNov 1
After Wolverine, or his brother Sabertooth, Johnny Canuck is the greatest Canadian super hero. That is a bold statement by any measurements but Canuck took down Hitler and helped save the world from Fascism.
Canuck came to life in 1869 as political cartoon personifing the Canadian populous as a hardworking lumberjack that is also the younger cousin of Uncle Sam and Britain’s John Bull.Canuck faded away after numerous cartoon appearances only to come to the forefront of the comic reading public in 1942 to fight Nazism and ultimately topple Adolf Hitler.
Despite stopping Hitler Canuck never garnered another comic but did receive a greater honor as he was depicted on a 1995 postage stamp from the Canadian Post. For the 2008-2009 season the Vancouver Canucks used the visage of Johnny Canuck on their uniform as a tribute to a symbol of national pride.
