Optilux

Optilux is a supervillain (or enigmatic figure) who appeared in Alan Moore's run on Supreme at Awesome Entertainment, a period in which Moore reinvented classic superhero archetypes. Optilux operates as a light-based cosmic threat opposing the Superman-analogue Supreme.

Born from the brilliant imagination of Alan Moore during his celebrated run on Supreme, Optilux made their debut in 1997's Supreme: The New Adventures #48, arriving in that fertile late-Copper/Modern Age moment when Moore was reimagining superhero mythology from the ground up at Awesome Entertainment. With only seven catalogued appearances spread across Supreme and Supreme the Return, Optilux is a rare and tantalizing figure — the kind of character whose scarcity makes each appearance feel like a genuine find — sharing the page with Supreme himself, Ethan Crane, Suprema, and other denizens of Moore's richly layered universe. For collectors who love the deep cuts of Moore's Awesome era, Optilux is exactly the sort of gem worth hunting down.
