* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]
----
=== Alan Moore's Supreme provides examples of: ===
Line 34:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Billy Friday
* {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]: Supreme and his counterparts are forced to release Liefeld's Supreme from his prison in the Supremacy as a last ditch effort to stop the invading army of Darius Daxes. He then murders all the alternate Daxes, then exposes the other Supremes to Silver Supremium, permanently depowering them and leaving him the only functioning Supreme left.}}
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: Almost all of them.
* [[The Cape]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Apart from a few [[Rob Liefeld]] characters who survived the retcon (namely Diehard of ''[[Youngblood]]'' fame), and a couple of guest-starring [[The Savage Dragon|Erik Larsen]] characters, pretty much ''everybody''. (And even the Larsen characters, Superpatriot and Mighty Man, are used as an Ersatz [[Captain America]] and an Ersatz [[Captain Marvel]] respectively.)
Line 44:
** [[Decon Recon Switch]]
* [[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!
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Suprema arm-wrestling with an alien baby and ending in a draw. Why? {{spoiler|Because the baby was the incarnation of all evil in the history of mankind}}.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Suprema, his (adopted) sister who by chance gained similar powers.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: An alien warlord named Korgo attempted to become President by dueling Bill Clinton. However, Korgo then quietly begged Supreme to put him back in prison after spending a few hours with Hilary.
Line 90:
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Supreme's well-meaning counterpart from a world that operates backwards is named ''Emerpus''
* [[Secret Identity]]
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: Supreme's comment about Billy Friday's tendency toward [[Kudzu Plot|kudzu plotting]] is phrased in a way that indicates it's an attribute common to all British comicbook writers (ie. including [[Alan Moore]]).
* [[Sequential Artist]]: Ethan Crane
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: [[Satan|Master Sin]], from one of Suprema's flashbacks. He has seven heads, each representing one sin.
Line 100:
* [[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.
* [[This Is Sparta]]
* [[Too Spicy for Yog -Sothoth]]: Korgo the Space Tyrant assumes the presidency of the United States after defeating Bill Clinton in single combat, but after taking Hilary as his consort he is extremely grateful to Supreme for sending him back to Looking-Glass Land.
* [[Trapped in TV Land]]: The Televillain has the ability to enter into a TV show's fictional world as well as draw others into it.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Optilux gets very angry when Supreme tells him that he turned Amalynth back to normal. Just as Supreme intended - he was lying.
Line 110:
** Robert Kirkman's ''Supreme Sacrifice'' mini-series, which was supposed to tell a story of Liefed's Supreme dealing with being revisioned and replaced by Moore's Supreme, ended up as an idea and nothing more.
** We also never got to see Alex Ross's redesign of Suprema's costume in action. ("[[Ms. Fanservice]]" hardly begins to cover it.)
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Suprema, though her hair is white as a side effect of exposure to Supremium, just like Supreme's.
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: In a sense. The Slaver Ant steals children and babies, renaming them "Worker-0X" and has them build hives and hideouts for her. She dubs them workers because she doesn't see the point in getting too attached.
* [[Zerg Rush]]: A bunch of citizens gang up on the Televillain when they recognize him as the guy who killed Monica on ''[[Friends]]''.
