In a review for Marvel Comics’ Marauders #11, Bleeding Cool reporter Jude Terror writes:
The X-Men gives Kate Pryde’s body a Viking funeral, as Jewish tradition dictates.
This, of course, is grossly in error; Jewish tradition dictates no such thing. And even if the (pseudonymic?) Mr. Terror had his tongue deeply in his cheek, it’s a joke in poor taste.
Why’s that? Because, as writers like Rachael Knight at Women Write about Comics point out, it’s a pretty large insult to her religious heritage, particularly as one of the most prominent and long-time Jewish superhero characters.
