How was Ray Middleton found to play Superman?
Ray Middleton never actually played Superman. He was one of the celebrity judges in the Superboy/Supergirl contest held on Superman Day at the World's Fair on July 3, 1940. If you check the Superman Through the Ages website you can find a photo sent in by William Aronis, the winner of the Superboy contest. It shows Aronis standing next to celebrity judge, Ray Middleton. He is clearly not the same person that played Superman at the fair. They even part there hair on opposite sides. Middleton was a well known Broadway star at the time. It would not have made sense to use a known actor to introduce Superman to the young fans. The true identity of the man in the tights at the World's Fair remains unknown. Nostalgia King

How much is the comic book Cable number 1?
I'm guessing you mean Volume 1 Issue 1 from April 1993 right? Well I've seen it for £3.00 at an antique shop, with the free tattoo attached. It doesn't seem to be a very well known comic; there's hardly any information on it online (although I intend to write a Wikipedia article on it soon) so I don't think you will get much more for it then that. Of course, the condition affects the value as well.
I hope this helps.
Is it superWoman or Supergirl?
It depends on who you are referring to. If you mean Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El, then you are talking about Supergirl. She came to Earth as a teenager. Since Superman grew up here, he was her mentor.
You could say that since Superman was Superboy in his youth (well in some incarnations) she could have grown into the name of Superwoman, except that ... well ... something else happened to her first (for details, see Crisis on Infinite Earths).
That was the easy part. Now for the hard part.
Back in the "Golden Age" of comics, there were a lot of superheroes with familiar code names, but civilian identities and backstories that were completely different from those that would come later in the "Silver Age". For example, there was a Green Lantern, but he wasn't Hal Jordan and he didn't get his ring from a dying alien, he was Alan Scott and his ring was a magic artifact (and one-of-a-kind; he wasn't part of a Green Lantern Corps).
Most importantly for this discussion, there was a Flash. He wore blue pants and a red shirt, had no mask, and wore a silver hat with wings on the sides (a lot like the one the guy in the FTD logo wears). His name was Jay Garrick. When later writers recreated the Flash in the form of Barry Allen, they decided that his choice of the name (and some aspects of his costume, like the little wings on the sides of his head) were influenced by growing up reading about the adventures of Jay Garrick, the Flash, in comic books. One day he was messing around with the sort of semi-sciency stuff the Silver Age Flash used to get up to, and somehow managed to vibrate himself into a parallel universe where Jay Garrick was real. The two had an adventure together before Barry vibrated back to his own universe.
Cute little story, nice wink at older fans. And readers loved it. So there was a rash of stories where the modern Silver Age heroes somehow managed to get from "Earth-1" (the universe where the current stories were taking place) to "Earth-2" (the universe with the Golden Age heroes) and meet up with their own counterparts.
Superman and Batman existed in both the Silver Age and Golden Age and were very similar, so they met sorta-themselves, except that Superman-2 had married Lois Lane while Superman-1 was still single, and so on. They were also older than the Earth-1 versions (Robin-2 was no longer the "Boy Wonder" but a grown man, for example, and had given up the short-shorts for a more respectable outfit).
The crossover stories were wildly popular. So someone decided ... if there are two parallel universes, why not three? And Earth-3 was created, but with a twist: The heroes of Earth-1 had villainous counterparts on Earth-3, and while Earth-1 had the Justice League and Earth-2 had the Justice Society, their counterparts on Earth-3 had formed the Crime Syndicate. There was one superhero on Earth-3: Alexander Luthor (yes, Lex Luthor was a superhero), who was kind of an extremely high-tech version of Batman (and married to Lois Lane).
Superman's counterpart was Ultraman, Batman's was Owlman. And now we get to the point of this whole long digression: the Earth-3 counterpart of Wonder Woman was ... Superwoman.
Earth-2 also had their own Supergirl. She now lives in the mainstream universe (Why? Read "Infinity Crisis".) She goes by the name Power Girl. And that's what happened to thatSupergirl.
The 1985 mega-crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths was supposed to consolidate all the various universes into one single continuity (in the process of doing so, it killed off Supergirl-1; sorry for the spoiler, but seeing as how the "Pieta" cover of Crisis #7 is such an iconic image, it's hard to imagine anyone who might care didn't already know). The single-universe idea didn't last, though; since then, the Superman/Batman comic has visited a sex-reversed universe, where the counterpart of Superman is Laurel Kent aka Superwoman (and the counterpart of Supergirl, Laurel's cousin, is "Superlad").
You cannot really tell if Superman is an atheist or has any sort of faith in a certain religion because he does not tell or show any signs of belief.
A:I'm trying to remember portrayals of religion. In many senses, Superman himself embodies many of the powers of a God... yet he chose to portray himself as a "Mild Mannered Reporter" instead.I don't remember seeing him giving reverence to an "earth god".
However, perhaps the Crystal Palace (Fortress of Solitude) would be the spiritual roots of Superman.
A:">A:That is also very true but I think that all of that would be irrelevant to the character's religion more to the author's.

Who would win in a fight Superman or Thor?
Superman's been killed. Juggernaut can't be. Superman loses.
Hmmm. Tough one. Well first off, they would be about equal n strength, unless it's 8th Day Juggernaut, who has been known to punch holes in dimensions.
Superman obviously has the speed advantage, so ti's not illogical to think he could simply grab Juggernaut and fly him to another planet before he notices. If we remove that possibility, and leave it to a slobber knocker, then I would say Juggernaut. Juggernauts Gem of Cyttorak gives him virtual invulnerability to harm. He can survive being burnt to the bone without any harm and can survive a dip in the sun, as can Superman. Juggernaut also has unlimited stamina and is unable to be stopped when he gains momentum. He doesn't need to eat, sleep, or breath, IIRC.
Superman also has his fair share of durability. He has been known to sun-dp on a regular basis, take planet destroying attacks, take dips in RED suns, and has taken Darkseid's omega-beams.
Superman also clearly has the great speed advantage. Juggernaut probably wouldn't be able to tag Superman if he tried.
So, in conclusion, I would ultimately have to say Superman. Superman with one powerful hit to his crystal the juggernaut would lose his powers. Wouldn't he
