| | | | | Squadron Supreme: Encyclopedia II - Marvel Universe - History Though the concept of a shared universe was not new or unique to comics in 1961, writer/editor Stan Lee, together with several artists including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, created a series of titles where events in one book would have repercussions in another title and serialized stories would show characters grow and change. Headline characters in one title would make cameo or guest appearances in other books. Eventually many of the leading heroes assembled into a team known as the Avengers. This was not the first time that Marvel's charac ...

| | | | | Squadron Supreme: Encyclopedia II - Supreme Power - Differences between Supreme Power and Squadron Supreme While the Squadron Supreme had started off as Justice League knock-offs and had moved on in different directions thanks to the works of the late Marvel editor and writer Mark Gruenwald, JMS brought Supreme Power back to its JLA roots, in order to put a different spin to the concept.
The Squadron debuted as a fully-formed regular superhero team. When their origin was revealed, they all had previous experience as solo superheroes. This doesn't happen in Supreme Power, which doesn't focus on much superhero material, and where the charact ...

| | | | | Squadron Supreme: Encyclopedia II - Squadron Supreme - Squadron Supreme's impact The Squadron Supreme concept is well-respected among many comic fans, although the actual work itself has been criticized for being underdeveloped and has not held up well over time.
