Bible Character Justice League
After playing the Bible Fight flash game (which is awesome), I recently had a conversation with a fellow atheist about how cool it would be if there were a cartoon where all of the most significant bible characters came together (we'll say they were assembled by god in order to flout any problems with chronology... god can do anything, you know?) and formed a bible character justice league.
Based on their lives and stories, what kinds of unique abilities could we expect their superhero versions to possess?
When we start mixing and matching stories and talents, what kind of adventures might unfold?
Bible Justice League: Episode #1: The Drop
The chief (God) sends Jesus a message via an inscription on a wall telling him that his work on Earth as a powerful orator is far from over. With the help of the Bible Justice League, he'll need to cross an ocean and start over in a new land. Out of custom, the message self-destructs, destroying Jericho a second time.
Jesus and the Bible Justice League set out across the Atlantic on Noah's tricked out battle-ark. Halfway through their journey, they are set upon by Satan's dreaded armada of evil. With some impressive cane work, Moses begins parting up a shitstorm for the demon fleet, but things soon unfold into heated hand-to-hand combat aboard the deck of the battle-ark. Jesus raises Cain---literally---before sneaking out the back with Jonah, who offers to take Jesus the rest of the way in his personal submarine. (His crew consisting of one Pinocchio and one Gepetto.)
Jesus accepts, explains that as soon as they get to shore, they'll need to engrave and bury some metal tablets. Upon uttering the word "tablets", Jesus has an afterthought and tells Moses he can't come. Moses is sad to be demoted to B-squad, but he understands and knows that he and Noah really make an awesome team. Jesus and Jonah hop into the whale and Jesus gives Jonah the run-down. Agent Smith will make the pick-up.
Next episode, more shit is made up!
A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.

I'm guessing you haven't seen the Super Best Friends episode of South Park.
There actually is a cartoon like this, but I'm not remembering the name. I caught it one saturday morning flipping through the channels here. Basically Jesus and the disciples (poorly drawn and animated) were portrayed as a super hero team.
Sinfest often do things like that, quite amusing. Part of my daily morning routine.
Dude, you forgot about Noah the Beastmaster sending his army of animals in a frontal siege of the demonic forces.

The only problem is that, with the exception of Jeeesus, all of the other bible heroes are homicidal maniacs and have killed many more people than satan.
The story should go more like: Satan goes up to a guy and says, "how bout them other gods?"
Then the bible heroes storm in and massacre the entire city and give it to John and his missus.

heheheh.... well played.
It seems like Joshua would be one of the most impressive superheroes. Whenever he's around, all he's got to do is raise his staff over his head, and the Super-Bible-Friends start winning the battle. He'd need an impressive phalanx to protect him, since all the demons of hell would be trying to dislodge that staff from his hands...
Then there's um... was it Elisha or Elija... anyway... I think Elisha, who has the power to summon bears to kill groups of small rock throwing children. Whenever the Children of the Corn are attacking, he's your guy.
