Kid Supreme is series of fictional characters appearing in the comic book series Supreme and related books. There have been three versions of the character: Charles Flanders,[1] a World-War-II-era sidekick of Supreme, who could tap into the hero's powers; Danny Fuller,[2] who received super powers during a fight between Supreme and Union; and a younger version of Supreme (known as Supreme-Mite as a toddler) written by Alan Moore as an homage to Superboy.[3]

Fictional character biography

Charles Flanders

The first one was Charles Flanders, a boy who could tap into Supreme's powers. He became Kid Supreme, Supreme's World War II sidekick, though his relationship with Supreme was not one of equal partners – rather, Flanders was more of a pet than a friend to Supreme.

Danny Fuller

The second original version of Kid Supreme was a teenager named Danny Fuller. He is caught at ground zero of the battle between Supreme and Union, and received super-powers in an explosion that occurs during the fight.[2] He finds that he has become invulnerable, super strong and capable of flight. As Danny is a fan of Supreme and super-heroes, he decides to become one himself. However, after a mistake of Danny's indirectly leads to a man's death, he moves back home to his grandparents' house to live a normal life.[4] This doesn't last. He continues using his powers. He meets superheroes like Glory[5] and Lady Supreme. He travels to the Supremacy, only to return.[6]

Young Ethan Crane

Both the Charles Flanders and Danny Fuller versions of Kid Supreme were removed from existence after the Supreme continuity was rebooted by Alan Moore, though they still exist in the Supremacy.[7] However, Moore's version of Supreme featured numerous childhood adventures of Kid Supreme, a teenage version of the adult hero. In addition, in the preview for the unreleased Brigade vol. 3 series, the Danny Fuller version appears to be back in continuity, as he teams with Badrock, S.P.I.C.E. (the cyborg sidekick of Fighting American), and the two protagonists from Jeph Loeb's KaBOOM series.

Several of these adventures featured Kid Supreme's colleagues in The League of Infinity, a team of teenage heroes from different eras (loosely based on DC Comics Legion of Super-Heroes). Grown up versions of these heroes would sometimes appear with the adult Supreme.

Apart from Kid Supreme/Supreme and his younger sister Suprema, the most prominent members of the League of Infinity include:
