Is a supervening indictment worse than a grand jury indictment?

Firstly: ALL indictments are handed down by a Grand Jury - so, one is not necessarily "more serious" than the other. Secondly: I BELIEVE: The description 'supervening' indictment, seems to tend to indicate that the defendant was indicted by the Grand Jury for a charge other than the one that was originally sent to to them, Thus it was unexpected, and the defendant was charged with some other offense instead of the original offense.
A "supervening' indictment" is a Grand Jury indictment that is handed down after the defendant has already had an initial appearance. One is not worse than the other and it is on the original charges.
