...I still think that they can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son.

On the other hand, it's nigh impossible NOT to see Superman as a Christ figure, IMHO. One of the things I've always really liked about him is that he's this literally superhuman figure but he doesn't seek out the job of hero--he does it because it's necessary and no else can.
