Ragman (Comic Book) | comment |
Ragman is a DC Comics character created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert. He first appeared as the title character of his own series in 1976.Rory Regan is Ragman, the latest in a long line of family members entrusted to wear the Suit of Souls and protect the Jewish community they are part of, and their community as a whole from those whose souls have been corrupted by their own evil actions. As a Gotham native Rory keeps plenty busy at home but has also found time to be part of several teams including Shadowpact and the Sentinels of Magic.In his civilian life Rory runs a junkstore called Rags 'n Tatters which is another bit of inheritance from his father and is where he found the suit. He is entirely unaffiliated with Gotham's other patchwork hero Simon Dark. | |

Ambiguously Jewish | |
Ragman (Comic Book) / int_2be15316 | comment |
Ambiguously Jewish: Rory was often thought to be Jewish by fans during the comic's original run in the 1970s — his status as the son of an impoverished immigrant who worked collecting old fabric, ownership of a pawn shop in a very Lower East Side-like neighborhood of Gotham and ambiguous appearance sealed the deal. The second run as a '90s Anti-Hero not only canonized his Jewishness, but made it central to the character. | |

Empathic Healer: He is a walking purgatory, taking the souls of killers. They get redemption by sharing his wounds. Distributed widely enough, they remain relatively unaffected. Some souls get 'permanent' injuries. Taking on enough injuries (or giving strength to Ragman) raises the Karma level, sooner or later, a Good Afterlife results. | |
