Name: Judah Maccabee
Alias: "The Hammer"
Affiliation: N. Veeblefetzer Pickling Society
Bio: Judah hails from the planet Thune, where he and his entire race were consigned to concentration camps under a dictator called The Manager. His father, Dave and the other Thunes were liberated by the inter-stellar executioner of evil-doers, Nexus. As the comedic foil to his, social activist father, Judah is also the best-bud of Nexus. When he is not working as an independent freelance adjudicator, Judah moonlights as a pro wrestler and is quite the dandy.
Strength: Powered by telekinetic dismembered heads who grant him extraordinary fusion casting abilities that he is able to channel through his near-indestructible sword. He is also a master of the martial arts and a part-time chef.
Weakness: Pig headed and brash, he's been known to rush headlong into a fray with no plan or exit strategy. Too bad the Bush Administration only uses non-fictional characters!
Exemplary Jewish Value: Abundant body hair! Move over Matisyahu and Seth Rogen, Judah is the embodiment of Jewbacca!
Real World Organizational Match: JCC Maccabi Games- He's a wrestler and its got his name, was there any other choice?
Biblical Validation: "As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people." (Book of Maccabees I, 2:66)
