The collective idea of the superhero draws more inspiration from ancient heroic stories than anything exclusively from judaism. Comics also predate the superhero, but it's fair to suggest that superheroes have dealt irreparable reputational damage to comics as a whole.
Superhero writers can be unsurprisingly unoriginal and opt to just steal/"adapt" from existing material instead of making something new (example: Thor). The kabbalic imagery is just another example of that. Funnily enough, the "one above all" was introduced in 2004 at a time when both [the writer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Waid) and [the editor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brevoort) were non-jewish. The comic you reference was also written by [Al Ewing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Ewing), who also doesn't appear to be jewish at all but is [probably a judeophile](https://web.archive.org/web/20241216034552/https://www.cbr.com/immortal-hulk-al-ewing-joe-bennett-relationship-reprehensible-illustration/).
