Ethan Crane and Thomas Crane

Exploring the Night Forest for clues about Lemuria, your wizard encounters Hierarch Lucien. He refuses to speak to you unless you help prepare the village for the nightly assault of the Malughast. He directs you to Goody Mary-Crane for instructions on how to aid the efforts of the villagers. Mary-Crane Watson asks you to board up windows, patch the town wall and gather the horns of Wight Rhinos. She is very pleased with your efforts.

Ethan Crane and Thomas Crane are two of the villagers who thank your wizard for their help. Though they are doubtful whether your help will be effective or not.

Supreme is a superhero created by Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics (1992–96 and 2012–15), followed by Maximum Press (1996–98), Awesome Entertainment (1999–2000), and Arcade Comics (2006). Although Supreme was originally conceived as a violent egotistical antihero and Superman archetype, he was retooled by Alan Moore as a tribute to Mort Weisinger’s Silver Age Superman. The character had a 56-issue comic book series, a six-issue miniseries, and a revival in 2012 consisting of six issues.

Supreme is introduced in issue #3 of Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood limited series as a flip book story before being spun off into his own series. His history varies; at one point, he is an angel of vengeance who quotes the Bible to justify his actions. At other times, such as when he defeats the Norse god Thor and takes his mystical hammer Mjölnir, Supreme considers himself a god. Although the most powerful being in the Liefeld universe, he has his share of defeats: he is killed in the cross-title Deathmate Black series (published by Image and Valiant Comics), loses his powers in Extreme Prejudice, and is killed by Crypt in Extreme Sacrifice.

Ethan Thomas Crane, the adoptive son of Joe and Joanne Crane of Littlehaven, USA gained his exceptional powers through exposure to Supremium radiation in 1925, when he was only five years old. The radiation caused his hair to turn white and gave him a variety of formidable abilities including flight, incredible strength, near invulnerability, super-senses, the ability to project heat beams from his eyes and speed-supreme. Supreme is vulnerable only to Supremium radiation. Supremium has ties to Radar the Hound Supreme, Suprema, Darius Dax and the Supremium Man as well as to magic. As a boy Ethan Crane had adventures in and around the small town of Littlehaven as “Kid Supreme.” He also joined the time-traveling heroes of the League of Infinity. In 1939 he left Littlehaven for Omegapolis, changing his name to simply “Supreme.” He served in the military during World War II and joined the Allied Supermen of America, the first superhero team. Supreme later became a founding member of the Allies, the premier superhero team of the 1960s.
