TGIY Ep. 23 - Samson the Superhero

from History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind · host History Goes Bump

Samson in the Bible had superhuman strength and this strength was connected to his hair. His parents were told by Yahweh to never cut his hair and Samson was raised to know that he must never let a razor touch his head. For anyone who knows the story, it isn't Samson's hair that gives him strength, but Yahweh. There is no one else in the Bible that Yahweh showed this specific type of favor towards. Samson was like a precursor to Superman, only he wasn't an alien. He was human. The strongest human in the history of mankind. This kinda makes Samson a superhero.
