Supreme (Comic Book) | comment |
Supreme is a comic book superhero created by Rob Liefeld who has gone through two distinct phases of existence.Created in 1992, Supreme was originally a grim '90s Anti-Hero who had a very similar power set and appearance to classic Superman, but none of his morality or humility. Supreme was violent, brutal, aloof, and with a massive ego: he made no attempt to connect with humanity or live as a human, and was convinced that he was a god. Within the Image Comics Shared Universe he was one of the first superheroes to emerge publicly, originally becoming active during World War II where he fought against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan – soon after the war ended he left Earth to go explore the universe. Fifty years later, after making a name for himself throughout the universe as a mighty warrior, he returned to Earth to find it now overrun by superheroes of all kinds. Although he still battled supervillains and took down criminals, he considered himself unquestionably above humanity, and the general public feared and distrusted him.In 1996, Alan Moore took over as writer on the series with complete freedom to do whatever he liked with it. Moore opted to reboot the series and its main character entirely, keeping only Supreme's name, appearance, power set, and original human identity of Ethan Crane. Furthermore, he introduced an element that would come to define the series going forward by making the reboot part of the story itself: Moore's debut in issue #41 saw the newly rebooted Supreme discover that his universe had gone through periodic "revisions" across his lifetime, with all past incarnations of himself and his associates ending up in a limbo dimension called the Supremacy.Moore's incarnation of Supreme was a much more overt homage to Superman, and particularly to the pre-Crisis version of the character. Over the course of the initial twelve-part story arc "Story of the Year", Supreme reconnected with the people and places from his new backstory: his small-town upbringing, his history as a child superhero and teen membership in a superhero team from the future, his childhood sweetheart, his younger and more innocent Distaff Counterpart relative, his membership in various super-teams, and finally his scientific arch-nemesis with an alliterative name ending in X. At each stage his memories would be shown as flashbacks, written and drawn in the typical comic-book style of the time period they took place in. Meanwhile in the present day, Supreme in his civilian identity (along with his equivalents of Lois, Jimmy and Perry White) worked at a comic book company, where their conversations provided meta-commentary on contemporary comic-book trends and even on things happening around them in their own story. In short, Alan Moore's run on Supreme was a loving homage to the comic books of the Golden Age and Silver Age which had fallen out of fashion in part because of Moore's own work in pioneering the Dark Age.With Liefeld splitting from Image Comics in September 1996, Moore's run on Supreme then bounced over to Maximum Press (under the temporary title Supreme: The New Adventures) and then to the new imprint Awesome Comics. After issue #56, the series went on hiatus for a year before being relaunched under the title Supreme: The Return. Six issues later, Awesome Comics collapsed and the series was over, leaving Moore's run open-ended.A new run of Supreme by The Savage Dragon creator Erik Larsen came out in 2012. It began with an adaptation of Alan Moore's final script, and from there went on to present a balance between the original anti-hero vision of the character and Moore's revisioning, with the plot focusing on the escape of Liefeld's Supreme from the Supremacy into the revisioned world. Larsen's run was cancelled after four issues due to low sales.In 2014, Image started publishing the Supreme: Blue Rose miniseries, written by Warren Ellis. A new revision takes place, but the system is broken. In the new world, investigative journalist Diana Dane is hired by Darius Dax, who specializes in strategy forecasting related to rare and unusual cases for wealthy and influential people, to investigate the mystery behind a golden object that fell from the sky and a man named Ethan Crane. | |

Expendable Clone | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_145babc0 | comment |
Expendable Clone: There are shades of this whenever multiple incarnations of Supreme appear. The miniseries Legend of Supreme ends with him fighting and killing a clone of himself. The final story arc on "Other Earth" also sees our Supreme, still de-powered, switch bodies with a powered alternate-timeline version of himself; that alternate Supreme, in the original's body, is later killed. Averted in the flash-forward issue #25, where the alternate-universe Supreme survives... although that incarnation of Supreme ends up getting killed off in Deathmate. | |

In the Alan Moore run, Jack O'Lantern is a member of the Allied Supermen of America alongside Supreme. Zayla Zarn is implied to have committed some dark deeds, such as killing Storybook Smith. This is in stark contrast to her resolve from the Alan Moore series. It's later revealed Zayla hasn't really killed anyone, and instead was saving them by taking them into the future. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: A few, resulting from changes in the creative team: The superhero team Heavy Mettle was probably meant to lead somewhere – if not in this comic, then in another Extreme Studios title – but they never showed up again after the first story arc. The story arc with Simple Simon – in which Simon uses Grizlock's leftover tech to possess the body of an alternate-reality Supreme and wreak havoc – is an interesting one in that its climax was published in issue #25, but its beginning was not. #25 was published between #12 and #13 as an "Images of Tomorrow" flash-forward story, teasing where the series was intended to go over the following year. The Supreme Madness arc in issues #13-18 then had a subplot with Simon finding Grizlock's lab, clearly intended as setup. But the story arc was apparently abandoned when Kurt Hathaway was replaced as writer by Gary Carlson, and the series went in a completely different direction from #23 onwards. Editorial comments in the letters column also indicate that Hathaway intended for Supreme to learn how he'd been de-powered in issue #26, and ultimately confront his greatest enemy to get his powers back. The villain Dexter Cortex abruptly disappeared from the book after Carlson's run ended. The last few issues (story by Jim Valentino, scripted by Tom and Mary Bierbaum) set up a number of things on Other Earth for the upcoming Lady Supreme series to play with: it implied that she would take a job as a journalist alongside gender-flipped equivalents to Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen (Louis Samuels and Jamie Bartholomew), and also introduced the villains Balthazar and Dr D'Prave. Most of this was ignored by the Lady Supreme comic by Terry Moore, which reinvented Other Earth as a high-tech dystopia and turned Louis into a jerk. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: Actually, if you call yourself Supremium Man you may as well change name to "Mr. Stable Time Loop" as this name is associated with two of those that happens in this series. First one: A meteorite made of Supremium land on Earth, giving Ethan his powers. Later, the monstrous Supremium Man appears out of nowhere, accidentally gives Suprema her powers, absorbs the Supremium meteorite and disappears. Supreme never finds any other Supremium, but makes synthetic Supremium from his blood. Many years later Darius Dax fights Supreme and Allies in the body of android Magno. Desperate to win, he absorbs synthetic Supremium, but it makes him fall through time where he becomes the Supremium Man. Then when he absorbs the Supremium meteorite, he goes back even further and become the meteorite itself. Second one: During his day as Kid Supreme, our hero has to fight a Supremium Man called Meteor Master. He claimed to come from another timeline and has a collection of Supremium in different colors. When he added fragment of the Supremium meteorite to his collection, it all turned into the White Supremium and Supremium Man suddenly realized he wants revenge on Supreme for sending him to an asylum. He then heads to the future. He reappears in the present, fights Supreme and is suddenly approached by Billy Friday, who just come back from an asylum where he was sent after his traumatic adventures. When Supremium-infected Friday touches Supremium Man, they fuse together into... a Supremium Man with a multi-colored Supremium collection, who immediately goes back in time to find white Supremium. The strong implication is that Supremium is what all time-looped matter eventually turns into. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_3908cf5b | comment |
Un-Installment: The original Supreme series was deliberately identified in its indica (and on the first issue's cover) as "Supreme volume 2". Rob Liefeld wanted to eventually create a "volume 1" that would cover Supreme's exploits during World War II – this never ended up happening, with the glimpses of Supreme's Golden Age adventures being limited to occasional flashback stories. | |

Adaptational Heroism: Darius Dax assigns Reuben Tube to shadow Diana and Linda during their investigation and he saves them from Jack Lancome. In the previous continuity, Reuben Tube is the Televillain. However, the last issue has him preparing to kill Ethan Crane under Dax's orders. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Sort of. Supreme deliberately made one of his robot doubles autonomous so he could have a full-time backup in case things got really hairy, but he returned to the Citadel Supreme after a decade in space to find that S-1 had gotten a little lonely in the meantime. That is, he made robot doubles of all his old friends and pretended to be both the real Supreme and a member of the family. | |

Meta Fiction | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_4304666a | comment |
Metafiction: This comic is basically fueled by metafictional tropes. Aside from what we already mentioned, a noteworthy example is an issue about Ethan and Diana's date, during which they discuss the plot to the next issue of their Omni Man comic, which is about the eponymous character having a date with his Love Interest. The issue follows the same plot structure as the one they're discussing including the cliffhanger at the end. | |

Personality Powers: Suggested to be at work when the series does the obligatory Superman's-Pal-Jimmy-Olsen-gains-weird-superpowers plot. Comic Book writer Billy Friday, exposed to Violet Supremium, begins sprouting extra limbs, rapidly becoming an ungainly mess that collapses under its own weight. Supreme remarks that it reminds him of the way Friday plots story arcs. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_4eb0815 | comment |
The Nth Doctor: After Supreme is apparently brutally killed by Crypt in the Extreme Sacrifice crossover, the next issue has a new incarnation of Supreme appear: younger, fully powered, and with amnesia. His personality is also different, being less arrogant and more cooperative with others. Supreme's ability to regenerate to a new physical form upon death had been set up earlier in the series, and was tied into how he originally got his powers. Ultimately averted: this is not Supreme himself, but his daughter Probe in his son Val-En's body. | |

And even the Larsen characters, Superpatriot and Mighty Man, are used as an Ersatz Captain America and an Ersatz Captain Marvel respectively. | |

Identity Impersonator: Liefeld's Supreme invoked this. Upon his return from the Supremacy he attacks his former allies and demands to know why no one looked for him in all the years he was gone. Of course, no one knew he'd been missing at all, and Patriot explains they just assumed he'd gone through some sort of life-changing event which resulted in his new personality. Liefeld's Supreme was not amused by the answer. | |

World of Pun | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_86eea0e5 | comment |
World of Pun: Supremium, the comic's Kryptonite, is white in its most deadly form. This is a Stealth Pun for most of the series until it's explicitly Lampshaded in a flashback with "the deadly power of white supremium!" Let's not forget that there was an issue where time got altered so that the South won. Supreme ended up as "The Supremacist," and wrote a comic about the Klansman. The issue where the defeated/dead Darius Dax winds up in the Daxia, home of every incarnation of Supreme's greatest enemy, is titled "A Brief History of Crime", which is both a pun on the fact that Dax is a criminal and a scientist and a fairly accurate summary of the issue's story. | |

And Knowing Is Half the Battle | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_8a8b2a87 | comment |
And Knowing Is Half the Battle: One issue had a one-page mock public service strip, in the style (of course) of old Superman comics, promoting "National Flashlight Battery Inspection Day." Supreme reminds a brother and sister about this important day, and things get a little morbid as they all imagine the potentially fatal accidents that could befall their family if they don’t make sure all their flashlights are working properly. | |

Kudzu Plot | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_8b5e8731 | comment |
Kudzu Plot: Things start to become a little complicated when Supreme loses his powers and has to use Mjolnir to substitute them. Then: he dies, and two new Supremes pop up. A younger one on earth, and a normal one in space. Then, the younger Supreme is turned into a woman, which makes her realize she's actually Probe, Supreme's daughter from the far future, who switched bodies with her twin brother Val-En in a failed attempt save his life. Their hero team, Starguard, was defeated by Loki despite the help of a time-traveling Supreme (who was later sent back to the back and had his memories erased, but felt an unexplained sense of failure.) Val-En actually also survived, and has become a villain on an alternate earth where the real Supreme was kidnapped and is currently being held hostage, powerless. Kid Supreme, the new dubbed Lady Supreme, the Alternate Supreme and a mysterious new hero named Enigma are all drawn to this alternate earth. The powerless Supreme switches bodies with the Alternate Supreme to get his powers back, and the now-powerless Altnerate Supreme is rapidly aged and is given a series of high tech weapon by a mysterious villain who wants to pit them all against each other. The mysterious villain, aided by Val-En in a brand new, disfigured body, reveals himself to be the Nordic god Loki, who wants revenge against Supreme for ruining his plan to start Rangarok by creating the Third Reich and starting World War 2, which Supreme single-handedly won. When he tries to destroy everyone all at the same time, Enigma brings Stargard back from the past to try to help (this is not the battle Loki killed Starguard, mind you.) However, they are defeated. Val-En sees his old body and tries to retake it, but it causes a time distortion that dematerializes his body and flings him forward into the future, turning him into Enigma and making him realize the error of his ways. Enigma meets up with his future-past self and together they combine their powers to disrupt Loki's illusions long enough for the three Supremes to beat him. Combine ALL OF THAT with multiple one-shot villains, side character subplots, tie-ins to company wide crossovers and other books, and you can see why Alan Moore wanted to start completely from scratch. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Liefeld's Supreme used to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but a couple decades in an extra-dimensional prison turned that heart black. Additionally: Diana Dane becomes a cheater, Squeak the Supreme Mouse is now foul-mouthed, and just about everybody is a bit more bitter and angry. Of course, given the circumstances, most of the latter ones make a bit of sense. | |

Kid Sidekick | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_8e0bedfe | comment |
Kid Sidekick: Kid Supreme. The original back in the 1940s was Charles Flanders, who was able to absorb part of Supreme's power into himself and fight alongside him. The modern-day Kid Supreme is Danny Fuller, a teenager who gained superpowers similar to Supreme's via a massive explosion involving Supreme and Grizlock.note Later references credit Danny's powers to the subsequent fight between Supreme and Union, but in the story itself it's from the explosion that killed Grizlock. At first Supreme absolutely didn't want to associate with Danny and teamed up with him only grudgingly – Danny was only brought into the fold once the new younger (and nicer) Supreme showed up. | |

Asshole Victim: From Supreme's origin story: he was in prison for murdering a man who had raped a 15-year-old girl. Grizlock's entire business building was destroyed due to Supreme's indifference to saving it. His business? Producing chemicals for atomic bombs. Alongside many other unspecified illegal activities to prop it up. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_8f842f45 | comment |
Multiple Head Case: Baxter Frunnt... sort of. He's got one head so to speak, but it's got two bodies and personalities and faces to control, since his back is the other guy's front. In one issue, Suprema encounters a demon, Master Sin, who has seven heads, each embodying one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They don't get on with each other very well. | |

Unscrupulous Hero: Supreme himself. He's violent, delusional and egotistical, but he has a clear moral code and always fights villains who are undoubtably evil. The perfect example of this is his backstory, where we learn he killed a man, but only because he was a rapist who assaulted a 14-year old girl. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: Thor was duped into fighting for the Axis Powers in World War II, and so became one of Supreme's foes. When he realised what had happened, the Germans took him down and imprisoned him beneath a mountain. Upon breaking free after fifty years in captivity, his first action is to try to find Adolf Hitler and kill him. Supreme himself goes through a bit of this on occasion. Fighting his clone at the end of Legend of Supreme humbles him enough to stop his crusade against genetically-engineered superheroes and leave earth again. | |

Identity Amnesia: The issue after Supreme's apparent death at the hands of Crypt, a younger-looking superhero with powers and costume very much like Supreme's suddenly appears with no memory of his past – for a long time it is ambiguous if this is the real Supreme or not. Eventually it is revealed that this is Supreme's future daughter Probe, body-switched with her brother Val-En – she regains her memories during an event when a large swathe of male superheroes across the Image Comics line are transformed into women. After this, she deliberately avoids being transformed back to male and takes on the new codename of Lady Supreme. | |

By way of a Stable Time Loop, the villain called Master Meteor fights Kid Supreme to acquire white supremium for his collection, then travels to the future where he will fight Supreme as an adult, merge with Billy (due to the Supremium traces still in his body) and thanks to his memory being damaged by the merge, returns to fight Kid Supreme all over again. Meaning Billy is doomed to re-merge with himself and fight the two versions of Supreme over and over again. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: Larson's run changed the original 90s Supreme from a brooding anti-hero to a ridiculously cruel, hateful, racist and psychotic villain who brutally beats up innocent people for no reason. Even at his worst moments, Liefeld's version of the character was never as much of a Jerkass as Larson portrays him. Somewhat justified in that he believes he's been trapped in a dimensional prison by villains for an unknown length of time and all his friends abandoned him, but he's clearly not meant to be sympathetic at all. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Lampshaded frequently as the comic explores changes in society's attitudes towards gender and race over the decades. Best shown when Supreme takes his lady interest to the city of alternate continuities, and she gets some advice on how to get a man from her alternates. Grim 80's Battered Traumatized Drug Addict Diana Dane says they like it when you cry! Another example during the story when Wild Bill Hicock travels back in time to help the South win the Civil War, the League of Infinity take a vote on how to deal with him; Supreme, who is from the Present, and Zayla Zarn, who is from the Future, vote to try to reason with him. The other members are all from various points in the past, and unanimously vote to kill him. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Optilux, an insane alien evangelist, showed up at a Bon Jovi concert and converted hundreds of fans into light, which was then transported to the prism world Amalynth. After Suprema manages to send Optilux back, she explains to Supreme about the fans. He simply says "can't be helped" with the least amount of care. A few issues later, we find out the fans are referred to as cultists in the prism world and are kept in jail. Earlier, we have Billy Friday, a British Comic Book writer and parody of Jimmy Olsen who's been transformed by some Supremite into an ever-growing mass of arms, and is considerably growing more and more complex by the second. Then we get this: Korgo the Tyrant willingly surrenders to Supreme after a few hours spent in the company of Hillary Clinton. | |

Death-Activated Superpower | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_bf88aeec | comment |
Death-Activated Superpower: Related to Supreme's Came Back Strong powers: during the process of creating Supreme he died seven times, and came back to life stronger every time. The process also changed his appearance, down to the fingerprints. That’s why when Supreme appears to die fighting Crypt and then in the next issue a new younger and re-powered Supreme with amnesia turns up, it's entirely plausible that this could be Supreme himself having regenerated into a younger form. | |

Supreme (Comic Book) / int_c0068b0f | comment |
Flower Motif: Blue roses are a prominent theme in this series and appear frequently. The name refers to the fact that blue roses are not natural occurrences, so a "blue rose case" is something very bizarre and nearly impossible. On the other end, Chelsea Henry's "blue rose graph" maps how far out the revision has changed reality and time, including where it began and where it most likely ends. | |

Naïve Everygirl: Suprema, by virtue of having been in what amounts to a coma for decades, is not very worldly for her age. As it happens, a lot of people besides Supreme quickly get annoyed with her because she tends to be very pushy. While she was in Youngblood (Image Comics), the only person who could stand her was Twilight and that was because they were old friends. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Is a throwback to the Silver Age and thus Supreme is more of a proper Superman Substitute with little of the edge from the beginning run. Apparently, Moore, who's known for his Darker and Edgier writing, did this intentionally as a break from his usual style. Plus, since Supreme was already an darker Deconstruction of Superman, there wasn't really much more Moore could do with his signature approach. | |

A God Am I | |
Supreme (Comic Book) / int_dc1761bd | comment |
A God Am I: Supreme believes that he, himself, is a god. Or possibly the God – he is known to quote scripture when implicitly referring to himself. The Norse god Thor, who is a recurring antagonist, objects to this idea, saying that gods are born while Supreme was created by science. Supreme gets called out on this by reporter Maxine Winslow in Legend of Supreme. She reminds him "thou shalt have no other gods." It clearly strikes a nerve, and even though he gets mad he doesn't argue back. | |

No Ending: While both the original version and Moore's run ended rather abruptly, they still had somewhat satisfying conclusions that tied up all the loose ends they could. Larson's ending just stops right in the middle with nothing resolved. By the time a new creative team retooled the book, everything from Larson's version save a scant few plotpoints was thrown out. | |

Pet the Dog: Even though Supreme is a Jerkass, he still has a moral code and cares enough about other people that he has some nice moments. The first issue has him refusing to participate in a government superweapons program out of disgust. The last issue before Moore's revision has him hug his daughter goodbye and wish her good luck with her new life as a superhero on an alien world. | |
