Comments: Samson has a daughter, Omega Girl, and she is not like him. She does not care about others the way he does. Samson also has a brother, Solomon, who has special abilities as well.
Solomon’s powers first manifest when he is a child. He uses his powers to help others, and as Samson’s powers emerge, he becomes even stronger. His attacker is bigger and more savage, yet Samson knows what to do to defeat him. He fights back. Both brothers do. It is great to see the underdogs fighting back—and not only fighting back, but winning.
The trial of the Uberführer begins, and the witnesses testify to his cruelty. Yet is he really as cruel as he is made out to be? Or was he just a soldier doing his job?
As children, the two brothers work together against the soldiers at Scheriner’s lab. They cause a great deal of damage as they make their escape.
In the present, Solomon wants the truth.
The Nazi super trio is a dark, ominous team, and they are after Samson.
Through the use of superheroes, this book brings to light the evil that was inflicted upon the Jewish people by the Nazis. They did not deserve to be treated this way.
Having a Jewish superhero step forward to defend his people shows us what a true hero looks like. Samson, however, is not just a superhero—he is a super soldier. His character is written and illustrated in a more realistic way. He is both a hero and a man.
