Sad... downright tragic... it's a great name... but it's true, unfortunately.
If we can't make an exception for this one, I'd suggest Super Jerkassery.
Maybe Super Dicking Around or Super Dickery Trick

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.Super Jerkassery works, but it's not great...
Superman Is Being A Dick? Superman Being Dickish?

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.How about Intro Dickery since the trope itself doesn't just cover comic books.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Hero Dickery works well. Good point about it not being limited to comic books, although it's very popular in that medium. The thing to remember is that this isn't the trope that's in use if the hero is a dick all the time — this is a temporary personality change.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Why would the website need a page? It's only content are pictures from Comic Books that have their own pages here.
No Such Thing As Notability. Plus the website is a great repository of a lot of comic book tropes, itself.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Superman Is A Dick was the original name for the website, and I'd be willing to support that (or a variant thereof) as a new name.
personaly I like Asshole Powers Activate
Crowner time?
Added rename crowner. I guess we could go straight to alt titles but I want to follow procedure.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Maybe (after the punchline to an old joke) You're A Mean Drunk, Superman?
Jet-a-Reeno!Against a rename. Superdickery is barely a work - it's a collection of comic-book covers, full stop. No writing, no tropes other than those associated with the original comics, nothing worth categorizing here. If we absolutely must have a separate page stating "Superdickery is a website that hosts hundreds of scans of funny comic-book covers, mostly from DC's completely insane Silver Age. Here is a link to it." we can do that on a namespace, and nothing will be lost.

I disgree. The various Alternate Character Interpretations, the several tropes named (Everythings Better With Monkeys, And That's Terrible) and overall the running commentary on the pictures contains enough tropes for it's own page. You'll see.
So what happens if the rename falls through? Does it become basically "impossible" for the OP to create a Superdickery works page as hoped?
No, he can just make the page at WebOriginal.Superdickery.
Indeed, but I'd rather not...
You have to make the page on Web Original/Super Dickery anyway, rename or no rename. The Main would ideally be just for tropes. That's what I got told by Fast Eddie anyway.

That is correct. Of course, we could rename the trope anyway by fiat since there's a name collision, but that doesn't happen with great frequency.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"So is it mandatorily a subtrope of Covers Always Lie / Never Trust a Trailer or not? The description says yes but the examples say no.
^^^But the trope is named after a work, and I thought original works were reserved the main name space.
Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
Named for a work, plus I'm planning on making a works page for the website itself. Front Cover Dickery?
