Ethan Crane

Ethan Crane is the secret civilian identity of Supreme, Image Comics' enormously powerful Superman-analogue created by Rob Liefeld. Operating as a virtually invincible superhero, Supreme possesses tremendous strength, speed, and durability, appearing across titles like Brigade and Bloodstrike.

Ethan Crane is an Image Comics creation who made his first splash in Brigade #1 in 1992, born at the height of the Copper/Modern Age when Image was shaking up the entire industry. Over a remarkable 26-year publishing history, he carved out a presence across some of Image's most iconic titles — Supreme, Brigade, and Bloodstrike — accumulating 83 catalog appearances and no fewer than three key collector issues along the way. He keeps genuinely exciting company, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Glory, Prophet, and Jeff Terrell, placing him squarely at the heart of Image's bold, boundary-pushing universe. For fans tracing the wild, ambitious early decades of Image Comics, Ethan Crane is a figure well worth tracking down.
