Line 15:
A new run of Supreme by [[Savage Dragon]] creator [[Erik Larsen]] is scheduled to come out in 2012. It will begin with an adaptation of Alan Moore's final script, and from there will go on to present a balance between the original anti-hero vision of the character and Moore's revisioning.

* [[Beware the Superman]]
* [[Flying Brick]]
* [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
----
{{tropelist|page=
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of many, many comic titles, from ''[[Tales from the Crypt]]'' to ''[[Sgt Rock]]'' (or, alternatively, [[Nick Fury]]).
* [[
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Darius Dax, Diana Dane, Judy Jordan
* [[Alternate Timeline]]: One where the South won the Civil War, slavery is still legal, and everything is given a racist, Southern touch is created by {{spoiler|Wild Bill Hickok}}.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: {{spoiler|[[Jack Kirby]]}} Really.
** Also {{spoiler|Optilux.}} He eventually gets brought down.
* [[Back
* [[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 (trope)]]
* [[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 (comics)]] and an Ersatz [[Captain Marvel]] respectively.)
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Supreme actually wonders why it works.
* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: {{spoiler|Inverted. Darius Dax inadvertently creates Supreme with a [[Stable Time Loop]].}}
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
* [[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.
* [[Wham! Line]]: This series is very good at this.
** "Hello {{spoiler|Optilux}}"
** "Tell him {{spoiler|I'm not Judy}}" which is made even more effective with the following:
{{quote|
* [[What Could Have Been]]: To Moore's and fandom's regret, last issue of the series never came to be, because Liefeld had to close his company.
** 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.
