Supreme Power composed of a few characters that made tiny apearances in the Marvel Universe, back in the day. Their origin is simple: a knockoff of DC’s Justice League, complete with impervious aliens, feminist goddesses, rich vigilantes, powerful space-jewelry, and someone who runs fast. Hell, they even found a way to improve Aquaman.
Marvel Max’s return to the characters not only acknowledges the almost shameful ripoff nature of the characters, but parodies the originals! Can’t get any better? Aquaman’s a chick, and Bizzaro is an ex-con military assassin! Buh-bam, bitches! Batman’s even turned into a Black Panthers advocate! And fuck my ass with a ten-foot pole if that’s not the best revision of a heavily convaluded and hole-filled plot with characters who bear amazing untapped potential! The story get’s far too difficult to bear when it forgets what it is, and wants to form Squadron Supreme, but the original run is a fantastic modern comic, something not quite comparable to Watchmen, but just as enjoyable.
