* AmbiguouslyJewish: 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 NinetiesAntiHero not only canonized his Jewishness, but made it central to the character.
