SUPREME is overrated.
I read through the entire pre-Moore Image run. He's got nothing. No real feats. He's just an asshole Superman archtype who instigated a lot of trouble, and got in a lot of fights he could have avoided.
And his fights were against featless wonders like Thor and Loki, invading aliens and such. And he LOST fights against characters who actually DO have feats, from crossover events.
I don't care what Liefeld said about his Supreme beating "any man of steel", the writing simply isn't there.
Fanboys probably go by his fights with Gladiator or Omniman, or use Alan Moore feats.
If I'm wrong, please by all means show me early Image era feats. The Youngblood days, the Liefeld days. I'd welcome it.
Speaking of genuinely good things:
Achewood. Anyone here read it or heard about it?
Pendleton Ward, creator of Adventure Time, was a big fan. Jake the Dogs father was clearly based on a character from the webcomic.

Has a rough start, hearts up once the cats come on board. You'll know them when you see a 5 year old kid get offered "Kettle One".

Created a Tri-Sentinel army out of thin air.
Killed Spider-Man without effort mulriple times on one page, while making a meta joke about Spider-Man usually overcoming the impossible odds in a situation like this.
So far he doesn't have a single low showing, Kingpin and Osborn prep teamed up and amped The Spot who got completely new powers this way and imprisoned him in some "darkforce block" or something only to be revealed that it was his plan to end up there in the first place.

i just can't take Harry seriously
Not when Norman was giggling like a school girl when he told him " im so proud of you". And why do all this? Because mj dumped him a bazillion years ago and peter emotionally hurts people. Hes still Harry the b###. Harry Mr daddy issues.
So, Spider-Island.
I haven't read the entire thing, but essentially Spider-Powers are duplicated in everyone, right?
And Hulk had its own thing where Hulk powers were duplicated in everyone.
And Falcon and Winter Soldier is doing a thing where Super Soldier Serum is duplicated.
And Captain America's entire back store is predicated on the basis of wanting to build a better soldier, and only getting it right once, and never being able to reproduce it again. Much like Caps shield, Captain America is meant to be one of a kind.
My point is, why hasn't the military been churning out Super Soldiers or Super Spider-Soldiers or Super Hulk-Soldiers?
I mean, they aren't even trying. Caps entire existence is based off the military's obsession with military super-men, and now they have so many options to make military super-men, but don't.
