I looked it over closely and saw that there was not a single JW! Even smaller more obscure religions produce superheroes, so I was wondering if there was some doctrine or teaching, or perhaps the GB does not want any followers to be too powerful.

Why is there no JW super heroes at all?

Jehovah will be their hero after the battle of Armageddon!

Because they would receive a call from Brother Hounder that they cannot participate in any movie or TV series that glorifies themselves or their character. They would rather keep these people as anonymous God machines.

Tired of the Hypocrisy

They do have superheroes. However unlike the haughty superheroes of the world they are very modest and remain anonymous, just like the New World Translation Writing Committee. Their superheroes are their governing body. Who is Superman just because he leaps over tall buildings in a single bound?

The governing body performs almost impossible feats of strength and dexterity by leaping over HUGE obstacles like "Truth" "Justice" and "Decency".

Defeating the missles of common sense and logic with their "Shield of Propaganda".

When cornered they always have a secret weapon too. They can use the threat of shunning to silence their foes or they can exercise their superior mind control powers to lull their attackers into a deep spiritual sleep.

A great question!

I would propose two:

The Conscientious Objector and his pioneer companion, Ultra Naif.
