Is Ethan Katzberg a superhero?

Meanwhile, some Australian Olympic enthusiasts were quick to add that he had an Australian look-set and resembled 'solid Aussie men'. Others took it as far as comparing him to Chris Hemsworth' character, Thor, from the Marvel movies. For reference, Thor, in the movies and comics, is the God of Thunder and used to wield his mighty hammer at his deadly opponents. This comparison, however, was a massive stretch, but quite relatable, based on Katzberg's dominating performance in the Olympics, simply not bothering about any of his opponents, and just surging ahead.

Karzberg's looks were even compared to David Crosby while others exclaimed that Canadian athletes could not have such might and power, and Katzberg's roots were definitely from somewhere else, preferably from Australia.
