Who the hell is that Nordic superman in contravention of Exodus 20:4 supposed to be, James Hetfield?

It's a Jewish superman with a European model, no doubt.  And the interpretation of Exodus 20:4 is extremely varied, and many commentators have spoken on that point.  Muslims will not have any paintings of any animals or people in their possession, while Catholics have statues of saints and Christ himself.  Protestants will usually have paintings, at least of Christ on earth.  Usually the common consensus is that it is a commandment forbidding the construction of idols in place of worshiping the true God.

BTW, for one who doesn't believe in the devil, you sure spend a lot of time playing as his advocate ;)
