Known as "The Man of Stone," "Defender of the Downtrodden," and the "Kosher Crusader,"[1] Shaloman was created by Al Wiesner.
Shaloman was created by Wiesner in 1985[1] because he believed there were few Jewish heroes serving as positive role models.
Wiesner drew inspiration from the creation of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster, both of whom were Jewish.
Three wise men used magic to give a rock (shaped like a Shin after being struck by lightning) the power to become Shaloman and stop the evils of the world.
In human form, Shaloman has superhuman strength, an unspecified degree of invulnerability and does not need to breathe.
