El Supremo is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Messina) of the 1992 British animated spy film Freddie as F.R.O.7. He is the leader of the SNAKE, the husband of Messina, the aunt of Freddie, which makes El Supremo Freddie's uncle. He is the villain who is responsible for capturing various monuments, which he plans to use to create a sleeping virus.
He was voiced by Brian Blessed, who also played Clayton in Disney's Tarzan, the Nekross King in Wizards vs Aliens, and Mr. Avericci in Archie's Weird Mysteries.
Biography[]
Spreading chaos[]
El Supremo is responsible for capturing the famous buildings in the United Kingdom. He is also working alongside his partner and lover, Messina. Freddie notices that he plans to steal Big Ben next. El Supremo plans to use the buildings, by shrinking them to a size of a trophy and using them as batteries to a giant crystal, which will send a powerful sleeping virus across the world (starting with the United Kingdom), which will put people to sleep, allowing him and his SNAKE army to invade and enslave them.
Freddie, Daffers, and Scotty are captured by a giant robotic snake and are taken to a secret island in Scotland. Freddie and Scottie are thrown into a pool of sea monsters, while Daffers is brainwashed into a mindless follower of El Supremo and Messina. El Supremo uses the crystal to send his sleeping virus all across Great Britain and the whole country shuts down.
Defeat[]
Later in the film, after the battle of the army of soldiers, Daffers and Scotty come too close to the crystal's energy and fall unconscious. Freddie manages to infiltrate the crystal's energy with his mind powers and destroys it, but also falls unconscious. El Supremo and Messina are preparing to attack their next target - The United States - and concurrently arrive to kill Freddie, but he, Daffers and Scotty defeat El Supremo by shrinking him down to a slug's size and trapping him in a matchbox.
Personality[]
El Supremo typifies a boisterous and heavily-built bully — a particularly loud, brazen, and pompous man — yet he is clearly, just like his lover Messina, also a walking vessel of pure and utter malevolence, who is very taken with the beautiful and seductive yet malignant and megalomaniacal sorceress and thus is more than happy to aid her in her intended mystical conquering of the world. Even so, he is also enamored of Daffers' classical visage and seeks to make her a pleasure slave, which he never actually gets away with. This is much to Messina's chagrin, although she also never does anything about it and he remains in her (questionably) good graces. However, he seems less intelligent than his girlfriend, and hence usually follows her lead.
