Awesome! New Supreme is on the way! Even if Erik Larsen's art is nothing compared to Chris Sprouse and Rick Veitch's, it's still written by Alan Moore! After more than a decade, his run is finally being completed! To celebrate, I'm posting one of my favourite moments from the series.

Supreme and Diana enjoy some quality time at her apartment watching Friends:

So, he's blackmailing television networks for a million dollars (*pinky to the side of the mouth*) by using technology they'd pay billions to acquire?

Can you imagine how much people would be willing to pay for a package deal of that and the Baywatch DVD-collection?

Well, when you get down to that, you could say the same about the vast majority of supervillains. Couldn't the Vulure sell his tech to the military for billions? Couldn't Paste-Pot-Pete be a billionaire by now if he'd just patented his pastes? Captain Cold? The Mirror Master? The Shocker? Event Stilt-Man could profit from his inventions, rather than using them to steal.

Trust me, the ones of those that only steal to gain money make very little sense in most cases.

Well, most of those are in the supervillain business because of "the game", Rogues in particular. And then there's the ones that became villains because they couldn't patent their inventions.

But, yes, it's a trope.

Here we are...

Well, in his defense, Televillain spent the last few decades trapped in Supreme's Mirror-Dimension prison. He started out back in the 50s, where he was just a thief with a gimmick tied to a newfangled gadget (TVs) that nobody really took all that seriously.

I don't think he ever considered just how much -power- was now available to him, seeing how omnipresent Television is nowadays.
