Given free rein over Supreme and the wider [[Maximum Press|Maximum]] (later [[Awesome Comics|Awesome]]) universe, Moore created a storyline to both entirely reinvent the character's world, and meld it with Liefeld's extant continuity. In Moore's first issue, Supreme returns to [[Earth]] and discovers that he is living in a new revision of reality. |

The new version of Supreme has a secret identity as Ethan Crane, a mild-mannered artist for Dazzle Comics whose powers are a result of a childhood exposure to a meteorite made of Supremium, an element which can alter reality. When not saving the world as a superhero, Crane illustrates the adventures of [[Omni-Man]], a Supreme-like character being reintroduced with a change of writers. |

Echoing this change, Supreme encounters a number of previous/retired and parallel iterations of himself living in another reality, called the "Supremacy." The Supremacy is a form of afterlife for characters whose stories had ended or have been written out of current continuity. After experiencing [[amnesia]], Supreme's returning memories are told on the page in flashback form revising and ret-conning the character's complex and oft-rewritten [[backstory]], often in [[pastiche]] style evoking different periods of comics history. |
