  • Superman ripped off Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter novels.

    John Carter was from Virginia but was transported to Mars where he exhibited super strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Siegalman and Shuster reversed the premise and had an alien come to earth with…great strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Flying came later. Nothing about Moshe.
