Samson is teleported to Modern Day Gotham (by Boomtube) and mistakes it for the capital city of the Philistines and goes on a rampage, killing hundreds of civilians. Batman and Nightwing arrive on the seen and Samson, calling them unclean demons (in Ancient Hebrew), tosses a car at them before grabbing another civilian and decapitating her. Batman and Nightwing think Samson is just a random meta on a rampage and engage.
Stips:
Samson is armed with the jawbone of an ass and iron arm bracers (plus his magical super-strength, of course).
That wasn't how it worked. God punished him for cutting his hair off. Cutting his hair off was not his weakness. You guys should read the bible before chiming in.
This thread is actually offensive to me, it should be closed. How strong of a case should I make? Samson of the bible is not a comic book character. If this was a Batman vs Luke Skywalker thread it would have been closed long ago.
Very serious. it offends me. If this were a thread that poked fun at homosexuality, or even at scriptures contained in the Quaran, people would be up in arms. As such the people that chimed in tried very hard to make this into some sort of comedy, and poke fun at scripture. i didn't think it was funny, and am offended. Not just by the comments, but by the lack of knowledge. This thread is not based on the comic book version of Samson or it would have said so in the OP. This is the actual Samson that was born with supernatural nephilim or giant strength.
I don't care who would win, nor should i have to justify my reasons for being offended by this thread. Like I said if this were a thread that poked fun at homosexuality, there would be many people jumping out of the woodwork to show their offense at the subject, and the Mods would have closed it long ago, and given a stern warning to the offending parties.
It was the breaking of the third part of the vow when God's Spirit, who was providing Samson with his strength, left him. This is not to say that up to this point God was pleased with Samson's deeds; He was not because Samson sinned against God. But God had continued to use him as long as the vow was partially kept. The breaking of the third part of the vow rendered Samson without power. Samson fell in love with Delilah. The five lords of the Philistines bribed her with silver to find the source of Samson's strength and reveal it to them. After some work, she enticed Samson into stupidly revealing the connection between his hair and his strength. When he was asleep, she cut it and Samson was captured by the waiting Philistines (16:4-22).
Seriously dude? Thor, who is also a deity from a real world religion, is also discussed here, and is a flagship character for Marvel Comics and interacts with Gods from various pantheons, including Hindu Gods. In DC comics Judeo-Christian Gods are also used on a regular basis along side other real world religious characters. Superman fought with an angelic host on panel. Lucifer (Satan) even has an ongoing comic. There's also Spawn comics that deal with Judeo-Christian religious themes. You're really offended over a thread using Samson, a biblical 'superhero' that killed an army with a bone and had magical super-strength? Maybe you should just click on a different thread.
Samson used his strength to kill thousands upon thousands with his last breath by pushing two giant pillars apart and brought down an entire stadium. His strength was immense. He was directly powered by the Holy Spirit.
