""How? He'll be a god to them," says his father, Jor-El, who believes Superman will be an ideal Earth's inhabitants will strive to reach."
Of course, the -El in Jor-El is a reference to Elohim, the creator-judge masculine plural name of God.
The El is the root of the name and is often incorporated into Jewish names such as Daniel, Ariel, Ezekiel, etc or in other names of God such as El Shaddai or Immanuel.
