During a long and arduous battle against a horde of male Amazons known as Gargareans, Supreme was introduced, somewhat formally to members of what once was the JLA, arguably Earth's greatest team of superheroes. This introduction came as one by one they came to on the scene to aid their fellow heroes. Among them were The Flash, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Power Girl, and Plastic Man. The introductions were generally short well dones, good job and so forth, but The Flash, Wally West seemed to take an immediate liking to Ethan after all was said and done with the Gargareans.
"... Yeah you definitely remind me a lot of Supes, definitely different in delivery, but similar power-wise and all."
"I really don't see myself as in Superman's league, I'm just plain old Ethan Crane, born and raised on a small farm in Louisiana."
Wally scratches his head, the story seeming fairly similar to him. After introducing himself formally as Wally West, their conversation continues.
"Speaking of Superman though, I always loved watching your annual races for charity."
"Oh, that was actually my uncle, Barry."
"I never knew that their was another Flash besides him, other than Jay Garrick of course."
"Yep, well I got the gig after he died." Ethan's face changes to a remorseful mask at the new of Barry's death. "No, no, it's ok, he got better... er, long story."
Having a complicated and unbelievable history himself, Wally needs not to explain much for Ethan to grasp that some folks can cross the threshold of death. Right about that moment, Donna Troy, Wonder Woman, and Power Girl all three approach the duo to thank them for the help. Ethan is instantly struck by the appearance of Power Girl. If Vixen had the grace and style of Suprema, this woman had the poise and power, not to mention an uncanny resemblance to her.
"That's Power Girl, her and I hit those punks from the south end while you Donna and Wonder Woman dealt with them down here." Wally looks back to Ethan to find him still starring on. "She seems to have that effect on a lot of men." Wally chuckles lightly, mostly because he doesn't know what else to say.

Great another meat head that's drawn to my.... Kara's train of thought derails as she met eyes with Ethan, and found that he was looking at her face instead of elsewhere. She quickly scolded herself for being impressed with the man's ability to look above her neck. Don't get all starry eyed all because this one has a little bit of manners.... although he is sort of cute in a Sean Connery kind of way.
Another short introduction is made between Ethan, Kara, and the others. Kara offers up some excuse so half-heartedly that once she takes to the skies she has already forgotten it.
"So where did you guys come from?"
Diana adds "Yeah, you guys seemed to have came out of nowhere."
Wally's hand points vaguely towards the south end of town. "I was down at the...
Ethan's hand went to his forehead as he tilted his head back slightly. "I was in the middle of a press release. I'm going to have to see if there's anyone left at the park."
"Hang on, I'll tag along." The scarlet speedster offers. And after asking the ladies if they'd like to accompany them, they are on their way. Leaving Donna and Diana far behind as they opted to stay behind to look for any lingering baddies they might not have caught.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the way Ethan chooses to go on foot, and Wally is at his side in no time.
"So what's this conference thing about?"
"Well, I'm a little tired of hearing about myself in the news as if I'm some vigilante or something. Even though I don't like to say it, I wanted to announce myself as a legitimate hero, good guy, whatever."
The pedestrians seem not to notice as two humans whiz by them on the side walks at speeds that seem to defy physics.
"Well, with me along, you'll have my endorsement."
When the two of them get to the intended destination, they find the place nearly half emptied. When questioned, one man answers. "Most of the other crews went elsewhere for a story. The rest of us were either just leaving or had the bosses orders to stay put for a few more."
Seeing Ethan stumble to offer up an apology, Wally interjects himself. "Well, consider yourself lucky. Cause you've got this for your headlines "The Flash Vs Supreme", in a race of course."
Ethan quickly adds on with. "No matter who looses, the winner is New York's Soup Kitchens."
Although only a handful of reporters remained, the ruckus that was raised sounded like it was coming from a crowd of hundreds.
