After reading endless debates online about the tenets of LDS (mainstream) and FLDS (polygamy practicing) Mormonism and other such minutiae, I found a discussion by Jeopardy ass-kicker Ken Jennings a relief.

Jennings and other Mormon comic book afficiandos have been trying to pin down which superheroes are Mormons.

Add Madman to the list, says Jennings:

Take note, LDS folks and/or comics fans: Madman is apparently Mormon as well. Even back in the ’90s, Madman was being stalked by “the Three Nephites,” which Mormons will recognize as a reference to Book of Mormon-related folk myth. More recently, his archenemy Monstadt tried to corrupt him by paraphrasing dialogue spoken by the Satan character in the LDS temple ceremony. Madman sang the oddball Mormon hymn, “If You Could Hie to Kolob” to himself after being blasted into outer space. And in the March issue, Madman even got married, kneeling at an altar across from his bride, while an alien performed the ceremony. This may be an unusual way for most Earthlings to marry, but it does closely resemble the “sealing” ceremony used to perform marriages in Mormon temples. Um, minus the aliens.

Also, Madman's world is populated by mutants, extraterrestrials and freaks, but just one superhero: Madman. Sound like SLC during general conference?
