The latter. Supertropes shouldn't be listed if subtropes apply, as far as I'm aware.

(Or there could be a Beast Man example as one bullet that has potholes to the subtropes but I'm unsure on that.)

You also never list a trope with subtropes underneath. That violates the indentation rules. It's one trope per entry.

"if sub-tropes should be sub-bulleted under the super-trope"

no

"or listed as separate tropes"

All tropes should be listed separately and in alphabetical order. Work pages follow a strict "* trope: cases" style.
