@@TyshaggyGamingok actually! Scourge DID come first, but Super Scourge was a decent bit after even the redesign, which happened in 2006, as there were multiple arcs in between those points. However, it's more likely that Super Scourge is just really inverted Scourge minus giving him a white jacket (for some reason, even though that woulda looked fucking AWESOME) and they kept his tan stomach (probably because otherwise it would've been hard to see his facial details with the coloring of the comics at the time). Like he's literally photo-negative Scourge basically, which explains the black sclera and deep red eyes. I've seen a lotta comparisons though just because Scourge sorta has a power trip especially after he goes Super, which leads him to doing the whole "I am a god" thing, basically.
