Then explain how Marvel was able to sue Liefeld for doing Fighting American, which is just a homagE of Captain America.

Or the Russian writer who got sued for paying homage to Harry Potter.

Exactly what, for you, makes Fighting American and the Russian female Harry Potter different from Supreme?

All three of them use someone elses plots and the only difference is that they changed how the characters look and what their names are, yet only two people got sued over their homages.

Can you explain it?

It's not a homage when all you do is rewrite what someone else came up with, that's called stealing.
IT'S NOT THE SAME STORIES! THEY AREN'T SILVER AGE COMICS WITH THE COSTUMES CHANGED! They are MODERN AGE COMICS that MAKE REFERENCE to SILVER AGE CONCEPTS. They are sel-aware comics, they are completely councious of what they are and because of that have the possibility to explore and develope the characters your dear Manboob Lefield couldn't even dream of. I know that without reading the book, you should too!
