Line 125:
* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDxgNjMTPIs this] ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC]]'' video, [[Iron Man]] is daydreaming about the opening day of ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' and how it's stealing the hype for his movie. Everybody is rejecting his movie (released a few months before) as being yesterday's news, but the culmination is the arrival of Jesus.
{{quote|'''Jesus:''' My children, I have come back to you. The sheer awesomeness of ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' has brought about my Second Coming, and with it the Rapture, which shall begin immediately. ...after the 7:45 session. I gotta see this bad boy!}}

* In the ''[[Mr. Deity]]'' series, Jesus isn't perfect, but he's almost always standing up for the general good of humanity and objecting to particularly unreasonably aspects of the way his father does things. Out of Mr. Deity (God), Larry (archangel), Lucy (devil and Mr. Deity's girlfriend), and Jesus, who are the four main characters, Jesus generally gets portrayed as being more concerned with doing good than the other three and more reasonable than Mr. Deity.
Line 133:
* Jesus is a semi-recurring character in ''[[Penny Arcade]]'', where he hangs out with Gabe and Tycho, playing video games and being a cool guy in general. Though he is apparently a bit of [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/08/04/ a poor winner] at ''[[Street Fighter]]''.
{{quote|'''Gabe:''' What can I say? Jesus is fucking metal.}}
* Quoted nearly word-for-word in [https://web.archive.org/web/20110819004736/http://jjrowland.com/wigu/20020124.html this strip] of ''Wigu''.
* ''[[Sinfest]]''—in which Jesus Christ is the most awesome superhero since [[Barack Obama]].
* ''The Devil's Panties'' has "J.C.", who often hangs out with the comic's version of its creator Jennie Breeden. He's presented as a really cool, pot smoking "long haired hippie" who often waxes philosophical with Jennie and [[Satan|some guy with horns]] and has a [[Friendly Enemy]] relationship with the latter.
Line 220:
* He later (1300 years, give or take) appears to Julian of Norwich (who 'wrote' "Revelations of Divine Love") and told her, after showing her multiple fairly horrific visions, that "It has been behooved that Sin should exist; but, All will be well, and All will be well and All Manner of Thing will be well..." which is the basic belief of Universalists (Julian was described as a Proto-Universalist) that, even the Traitor (Satan) can be given the chance, even in Hell to be redeemed and Return to Paradise with the Father. It's ''very'' cool.
* Jesus' got his first fan (John the Baptist) just minutes after being magically introduced in Mary's womb.
* '''[[Averted Trope|Averted]]''' for many, many people, right around [https://web.archive.org/web/20120604135930/http://www.veritasbible.com/drb/read/John_8:58 John 8:58], or, y'know, when he makes his own [[A God Am I|claim to fame]]. Basically put, he claimed to be one with the [[God]] of the Hebrews, the transcendent God of all existence, as a manner of begetting, which means either he was was telling the truth, or was one of the world's greatest psychopaths.
** If what Jesus said was the truth it changes from Jesus '''was''' (past tense, implying that Jesus is still dead) way cool to he '''is''' (Jesus is still with us) way cool. Being God is pretty cool.
