Originally posted by Dave: It sounds to me as if Supreme has a certain element of parody. The Blaxploitation Supreme, the Kong Kong Supreme, Transformer Surpreme, and the others suggest that Moore is having a little fun at the idea of parallel universes. moore is also specifically having a parodic shot at comics in the 90s when he has a Supreme say (paraphrased), "Oh you 90s heroes are so angst-ridden."

Having Supreme affected by something so silly as "Supremium" is also a parody.
There is a large amount of parody in parts of the book. There are also elements of commentary on the comics of the times and the events around them. Such as the Kurtzman style Mad era homages/parodies I mentioned before. Moore being that "clever bastard" again.
