It’s told as a long narration by one of the last human survivors on Earth. Supergod is Warren Ellis’s final addition to his triptych statement on superheroes.

I have been designed to withstand you.Comic reviews, panels, elephants September 16, 2014 I am perpetually aware of existing in its current. In a few of those futures, there are enough remaining sentients in an environment rich enough for the development of backchannel remote viewing. I can see it all around me, rushing off ahead and branching into a tangle of futures. I am your stash.ĭajjal: Sanity is for societies, and I am not part of any society, nor would I suffer one to live in my presence.ĭajjal: No, I can't see you. Ultimately, I believe you lied about your need for a messiah figure to consider. You lied about needing an edge in your arms race. Because you are, after all, just monkeys. Two hundred thousand years later, you put Adolf Hitler into power. You draw up rules to organize and protect the group. Because as many monkeys as possible must please the stick god, and you can continue to get your fix off praying to it. Perhaps because you feel it might please the stick god to have more monkeys gaze at it in narcotic awe.

Your genetic pump delivers morphine for your souls. Other monkeys will, like as not, stop next to you and emulate you. When your brain does this idiot work, you stop in front of that bump or stick and consider it fiercely.

One that is triggered by awe and fear of an anthropomorphism of your environment. And so you have evolved a genetic pump that delivers pleasant chemicals to your monkey brains. Since you are stupid monkeys, you have no natural affinity for group altruism. In the harsh environment you refer to as a habitable planet, group behaviors are required to survive long enough to procreate. I am, at most, a slice of monkey suspended within the stuff of universal intelligence. I am for that thing which keeps you animals alive. Quotes Morrigan Lugus: I am for that thing in your genome that demands it. Supergod is a 5-issue comic book limited series created by Warren Ellis, published by Avatar Press, with art by Garrie Gastonny.
