This is an old link, but I remembered it this morning and want it on my blog. Chris Sims over at Comics Alliance, among his endless number of funny and intelligent articles, does a series called Great Comics that Never Happened. This is one he did in December of last year with a guest artist:

The Hanukkavengers #1 (December, 2010)
Story by Chris Sims

And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat to the holiday season On that day, the Hanukkavengers were born!
When the sinister Dr. Doom hatches a plan to harness the energy generated by worldwide top-spinning to power his own Cosmic Dreidel and gain mastery over the entire world, Israel's own Sabra gathers a group of heroes to save Hanukkah itself! But can even the combined might of Magneto, Moon Knight, Kitty Pryde and the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing stop the maniacal Von Doom?! Maybe not -- but the addition of Wolverine, whose contractual obligations to appear as a part of every single team in the Marvel Universe have led him to embrace the teachings of the Torah, ought to even things up!
It's a gants or nischt battle for the fate of the Festival of Lights with a Mildly Magnificent Mighty Marvel Mazel Tov! L'chaim!

Moon Knight a Jew that's a new one for me. as a gag or as something more serious i like this concept. as something more serious the idea of all these Jewish characters banding together despite their differences because of some kind of universal threat to Jews world wide could be a really cool story idea.
