One step below being one of the Powers That Be. Occasionally shares space with The Great Gazoo. Mythology often depicted gods as "human, but bigger." Similar emotions, virtues, vices, etc. but with more power. Special effects and global story-telling exposure has expanded the concept. Gods are often humanoid (easier for actors to portray them) and have a number of powers. The difference between them and non-divine characters is they don't have to be "balanced" in terms of other characters. However, there are sometimes higher beings that the gods are no match for. Typical god powers and traits can include: Attunement to Concept: e.g. Aphrodite the Love Goddess is attuned to love, naturally.note Although the original Greek term and name was better translated more like "lust", "attraction" or "infatuation" at most. If she's hurt or weakened due to some plot reason, fewer people love, and sometimes the reverse is also true. This attunement may be so strong that the concept defines their very being; a War God will be perpetually warlike, while a God of Evil can only do evil things, etc. Not all gods have attunements, and the level of attunement depends on the writer. Which may overlap with... Gods Need Prayer Badly: Their power may be directly proportional to the number of worshipers they have, or to the strength of their followers' belief. Sometimes, this trope may even be responsible for their entire existence, where gods are only born because humans believe in them. Immortality: They usually don't age, but can be killed — although more than likely it will be incredibly difficult and takes a great deal of effort or a special item to do so. Sometimes only a god can kill another god. And it's not uncommon for them to be resurrected, either — although they may lose their memories or be forced to take a new form. Some gods may not be truly physical, only manifesting in the world using Avatars. In this case, destroying their avatars may not be enough to kill them, because they can reform their physical selves. Gods tend to have the power to alter reality at will, generally in limited areas or in ways relating to their attunement. Super Strength and/or Telekinesis are common for gods. Flight and/or Teleportation are also very common. If they are nature gods, they will usually also have Elemental Powers. Interestingly, Superman and some of the more powerful Flying Bricks fulfill most of these requirements, except possibly the worship bit. This depends on how strictly you define worship, of course, since subscribing isn't usually considered the same as tithing. (For rabid fans, subscriptions can total a lot more than 10% of your income!) Then again, Superman does share a setting with actual Physical Gods, some of whom are even stronger still than he is (Depending on the Writer, of course). In other fiction, characters who may not strictly be gods may get powers like these simply because, in a place where Everyone Is a Super, then the only way you can really mount a truly serious threat to a world with millions of super-powered civilians is to give the baddies even more absurdly powerful abilities. Sometimes, a human can become a Physical God, especially if it's possible for said gods to die. These newly minted gods may choose to take up the mantle with solemnity, cackle madly that "A God Am I!", or steadfastly say "A God I Am Not" from lingering sympathy to their human origins. The existence of a Physical God presents a superficial difficulty to a Flat-Earth Atheist; however, the problem can be overcome by distinguishing a Physical God from whatever Powers That Be might or might not exist in the universe (considering the former to be "merely" ultra-powerful beings not different in principle from anybody else who happens to have similar levels of power, and applying the label "god" only to the latter. The non-trivial difficulty in determining the difference when such beings can only be viewed from a limited human scale is often brushed under the rug). Smarter Flat Earth Atheists will turn into Nay Theists instead...or welcome the new divine overlord.... Compare Reality Warper, Eldritch Abomination, Anthropomorphic Personification, Abstract Apotheosis, Deity of Human Origin, Ultimate Life Form, and Sufficiently Advanced Alien. See also Our Gods Are Different for a more general trope. God in Human Form for a humanoid deity rather than vice-verca, and Humans Are Cthulhu, for when Puny Earthlings are seen as this by other creatures. They're usually the center of a Physical Religion. When all that power amounts to nothing, see God's Hands Are Tied. God Job is when a mortal gets to become this. If these characters get defeated by a weaker one, it's Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?. |

The Salvation War: Yahweh and Satan are both quite powerful, the latter crushing a messenger with his mind, the former destroying his throne room over bad news. Many demons and angels as well are powerful enough in their own right. Uriel is able to kill thousands with sheer psychic force. However they still prove to be kill-able: Uriel with some missiles and a laser, Satan with two missiles to the face, and God by the hand of Michael and his friends. | |

In Shadowhunter Peril, Oblivion is this, but completely evil. He's the only character in the series to be an Ushubaen, a human with demonic energy flowing through his body, yet still manages to retain a soul that prevents him from imploding with the force of a small bomb. He is powerful enough to fight and actually injure Puriel, and angel of the Almighty himself. Nuriel, another angel, states that he once fought another Ushubaen with two of his brother angels, and that the Ushubaen completely curb-stomped the first angel to death, then killed the other one and severely wounding Nuriel before it was brought down. And since Ushubaens never stop growing in power, it's certainly possible Oblivion will grow to become an omnipotent evil being of destruction, considering how young and powerful he already is... | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "Holiday Wars", Alien Santa calls Santa Claus — as in, whoever holds the position — "a virtual god of the holidays". More clearly, in the same story, the description fits Bun-bun after his killing most of the Anthropomorphic Personifications of holidays, taking on new powers with each one he kills. Their combined portfolios give him Reality Warper powers among others. The Demon King of the Dimension of Pain and his enemy the Goddess of Goodness are obviously godlike in power as well as status. The Demon King is described as being ethereal, which could ostensibly mean he's "not corporeal", but the fact is still that he has a body made up of some kind of stuff. Father Time and Uncle Time (his brother, obviously), Anthropomorphic Personifications of time, seem to be like this, taking the form of large floating heads, though Father Time has been "seen" more often as a disembodied voice. Rithuly, ruler of the Rayths in a hellish alternative dimension called the Never, is called an old banished evil god and in the same breath described as taking the corporeal form of either a human, a tentacle-headed ghost, or a large dragon-like creature. The gods and demi-gods of Mohkadun whose number Father Time and Uncle Time are actually part of had physical bodies, usually human. "Anima: Resolution" features reference to a goddess called Troloria. It's implied she's really someone who won the war between psionicists stealing "souls" from others to increase their power. Apparently she got basically everyone's power, making her powerful enough to alter the whole "anima tapestry", the world's psionic-soul-thingy-system, as she wished. |

The 5th edition Tyranny of Dragons adventure can end with the players taking on Tiamat, who was summoned into the Material Plane by her loyal cultists. The players can sabotage the summoning ritual to weaken her before she arrives, and may the gods help them if they don't: at her full power, Tiamat is one of the nastiest creatures in 5E. | |

Sonic X: Dark Chaos: Maledict is an interesting Deconstruction. He's actually a Humanoid Abomination that was forced to take physical form in order to survive his injuries after his epic battle against Allysion that created the entire universe. And he's trying to keep his physical form at all costs, as dying will unleash his power and cause the end of the universe. | |

Chains of Reality has both versions of the Loud family: More specifically, the original prototype sisters, the new set of sisters from the new reality, and Lincoln/Proto-Lincoln/Sincoln. Interestingly enough, however, while all of them have access to divine powers and such, only the prototype sisters and Proto-Lincoln/Sincoln have an innate knowledge on how to use them, while Lincoln and the Neo-Sisters have to be trained in order to access them. | |

Angel: Illyria. Similarly to Glory, she had a true form, a taloned, tentacled Eldritch Abomination, but was trapped in a human body. This substantially decreased her power. Then her power had to be artificially reduced further, as it was eating through her physical form. Also Jasmine, one of the Powers That Be, and an Energy Being who spent considerable effort creating herself a physical body so that she could come to earth. |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Ascended Gods, which are Deities of Human Origin, are this trope by default, with their physical forms closely resembling their mortal appearances (or undead appearance, in Nagash's case). They have physical bodies and regularly interact with the world, to the point of having in-game models. This is different from Elemental Gods, like the Chaos Gods and Gorkamorka, who tend to act more like The Powers That Be, though they can take physical forms on the rare occasion it would suit their needs. | |

Winx Club: The second season introduces the Great Dragon's (the god of creation and magic) evil counterpart: the Shadow Phoenix, currently going by the name of Lord Darkar. He can absorb magic, shape-shift from an armored skeleton to a creepy phoenix, create hordes of tar monsters whose only weakness is light, corrupt fairies, grant power boosts to witches, summon demonic creatures, and manipulate dark energy. He was born from the void in conjunction with the Great Dragon right at the beginning of the universe. Ironically, it only took a very powerful convergence from six mid-tier fairies to defeat him. The third season brings the Elders of Magix to the mix. They are eternal magical beings who guard the Water Stars (the elemental counterpart of the Great Dragon) and inhabit the Golden Kingdom, a dimension isolated from the rest of the universe and outside of time. Overall, they are a downplayed example seeing they seem to be more demigods than anything. Although Arcadia, the first fairy to ever exist, has reality-warping powers over at least the Golden Kingdom. Arcadia is also the most "divine-looking" with her glittering, pale blue skin, her gold eyes, and her large wings. The fourth season has a much more straight example — the three almighty Ethereal Fairies. They are similar in appearance to Arcadia and, like her, they exist outside time and space, therefore being immortal. The trio, however, seems to be tied to Earth rather than the Enchanted Dimension. The Ethereal Fairies are implied to be able to predict the future and pick their own Chosen Ones, granting these champions with the Gifts of Destiny. Two of the latter (Wisdom and Heart) are transformation boosts for fairies while the third, the Black Gift, is a powerful spell that can bring any living being back from death. The seventh season, produced after a soft-recon, has the Infinity Swan, keeper of the Ultimate Power of the Fairy Animals. Ignoring the mouthful, this being is a glowing, majestic swan born from the magical convergence of six bonded fairy animals, erasing them from existence. The Infinity Swan guards the greatest Beastmaster magic — the ability to control and summon all fairy animals which, in turn, gives access to the Mini Worlds (miniature, pocket dimensions) and to all of the Wild Magic. |

Nobilis: Player Characters qualify, both physically and mentally. Even the weakest Nobles can throw around small cars or catch bullets in a pinch. The more powerful ones are able to leap across the ocean, lift mountains, and reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity with a pocket calculator. As for Nigh-Invulnerability, if you're trying to kill a Noble by nuking them, you'll need five. And even that might not be enough, especially if they took Active Immortality. | |

WandaVision: Ever since her introduction film, Wanda Maximoff has been one of the most powerful characters in the franchise, with telekinetic and telepathic abilities that make her extremely dangerous. Here, she's gone from "threat that must be carefully observed" to "fuck you, I'm God." She takes over an entire town, and while S.W.O.R.D. initially believes that she's using illusions to fake everything, Monica proves that she has graduated to a full-scale Reality Warper who can create permanent changes to anything that enters her area of control. Darcy and Monica even make note of the fact that she almost killed Thanos all by herself in Avengers: Endgame (and before that, held him off while he had five Infinity Stones on him and she was splitting her effort between that and destroying the Mind Stone in Vision's forehead), had he not managed to blitz her before she could bring her full power to bear. | |

He's got Nigh-Invulnerability, Telekinesis, Super Strength, Flight, teleportation, the ability to shoot fireballs and unleash lightning bolts, From a Single Cell type Immortality, and he's a Time Master. In Volume 3, he gets Nerfed by the Big Bad — his own father, Arthur Petrelli — who steals his powers and soon after was himself deemed Too Powerful to Live by the show's writers. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): The Ninja Tribunal consists of four humans turned gods after intensive, if unspecified, training; when we first see them in the present, they are shown to possess immortality, limited omniscience, and the ability to reshape reality, among other perks. | |

Justice League: Amazo's animated counterpart, more specific when he came back in Justice League Unlimited, having travelled through galaxies and collected as many powers and as much knowledge as he could. This resulted in him being able to accomplish Godlike feats like being able to "think" planets out of his way without technically being a God. He also manages to battle against all available JLU members like they were nothing. He was only stopped because JLU's reasons to fight him were all a misunderstanding, he wasn't returning to Earth for revenge but simply to find a purpose in his life. (He put everything he moved back in place by just "thinking it" again, showing he was a good guy after all). He then he left to play chess along with other absurd beings. | |

Atop the Fourth Wall: "The Entity" could be considered this when he was in the form of 90's Kid, but still had a form that was much, MUCH larger when he absorbs the entire universe and every being within it into himself except for Linkara's apartment (allowing him to do one last review) Lord Vyce himself could be considered one considering he is one of the most powerful enemies Linkara's faced (the only confirmed stronger one being The Entity), in a commentary Lewis mentioned that at full power he could "Go ten rounds with God", he could transform himself into data to fight the Entity on equal grounds, and his greatest accomplishment is fighting and WINNING against beings similar to the Entity in the past. |

RWBY: The legend of the Two Brothers is about the Gods of Light and Darkness. The God of Light created life while the God of Darkness created the Grimm. They both combined their powers to create Humanity. Many characters will incorporate references to them in phrases and exclamations, such as "Brothers know" instead of "God knows", or making "a deal with the darkness" instead of "a deal with the Devil". They're real gods, who abandoned the world after Salem turned humanity against them; the God of Light gave humanity one chance at earning redemption by tasking Ozma to unite everyone in harmony; if he fails, the entire planet will be destroyed. Salem is trying to make Oz fail; since the gods made both of them immortal, they've been locked in a Forever War for thousands of years over the fate of humanity. | |

Eberron is one of the few settings that averts this, the gods are so abstract it's even plausible that they don't actually exist and clerics get their magic from faith alone, which is supported by a few cults based around mortal entities or undead such as the Blood of Vol. | |

The Olympian Pantheon is mentioned, with examples including Hera, Athena, Hercules (who, like his comics counterpart, is as strong, if not stronger, than Thor) and eventually his daughter, Diana of Themyscira a.k.a. Wonder Woman — though at the start of the story she's a pre-teen... albeit one capable of pulling a One-Hit Kill on a kind of monster that had previously survived a pin-point orbital bombardment, being rammed against the edge of a crater by the Tumbler, a jet-powered tank, demolition charges from the same, and then most of the electricity of a major metropolitan area being channelled into its exposed innards to kill. | |

Rick and Morty: Rick builds a micro universe with sentient life in 'The Ricks must be crazy.' And yes, the inhabitants venerate Rick (i.e., celebrations such as 'Ricksgiving'). Further, the President explicitly refers to Rick as a 'Living God' in 'The Rickchurian Mortydate.' Given Rick's sufficiently advanced technology, its probably an accurate description. Rick is friends with Hephaestus, who has never turned down an offer for "a job". "Childrick of Mort" sees Rick do battle with a Zeus-like God named Reggie. After the battle he tells the others Reggie was just a God: if it were "the real thing", it would be a whole different story. |

Immortal: Horus, along with the rest of the Egyptian pantheon in the flying pyramid. They only demonstrate a limited range of abilities, such as possession, mind control and Eye Beams, but it's implied that they're not using more than a fraction of their actual powers. Their pyramid transport is only a mechanical ship that needs fuel and maintenance (in the comic, at least), so they're not exactly omnipotent, although the credit of Earth's creation is given to them. | |

Supernatural: The various Pagan and other non-Abrahamic gods seen in the series are all physical beings with tremendous powers, but can be killed with the right weapons. The Trickster. Here, a Trickster is a pagan god. He can reshape reality and mess with time. Dropped a guy into a wormhole For the Evulz. Good times. A few other Pagan gods have also featured in the series. In Season 5, it's revealed that the Trickster is actually not a pagan god at all, but an Archangel, specifically Gabriel, who's hiding from his brothers. The demons revere Lucifer as a god because he created their race. Lucifer himself recognizes the usefulness of such blind obedience, but despite his own immense power regards himself as simply God's son. After he gets released, Meg directly describes the archangel in these terms to Castiel. At the end of Season 6, Castiel becomes one. Or at least that's what he claims. He proceeds to take a very active role in managing his new kingdom, roasting half of Heaven, killing people all over the world who displease him, and presenting himself as a wrathful but just deity. It has been confirmed by Eric Wolpaw and Rob Benedict that Chuck Shurley as God plays this trope entirely straight. After spending much of the show as an All-Powerful Bystander, he takes a proactive role in Season 11 to fight The Anti-God. |

Whateley Universe: The New Olympians are Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the Greek Dodekatheon (the primary gods of Olympus), stuffed into the bodies of teenaged mutants. While their power is only a tiny fraction of what it once was, they are still very much the real deal. It has been mentioned that other deities are around as well, such as Belisarius, a minor Roman war god now passing himself off as the superhero 'Legionaire'. In addition, there are Avatarsnote mutants with the power to bond with a spirit, let it share their own soul's 'hallow' in exchange for the use of the spirit's powers who serve as Paladins for some other gods and god-like beings, most notably Miyet (paladin of Bast) and Okami (paladin of Amaterasu). While they are not the gods and goddesses themselves, they do serve as their agents in the material world, and are given power suitable for that purpose. |

Tower of God The Floor Guardians of the Tower. Each one of them is the absolute sovereign of his floor, in total control of the entire mass of Shinsu, a substance and energy that is stated to be unlimited in power when properly controlled. They used to test the people who wanted to ascend to the top, but left that job to the growing amount of people who did pass and settled down. They were thought to be immortal, until Enryu killed one of them. Of the ones that have been seen, Headon appears as a fairly normal-sized humanoid, whereas the Guardians of the second and 43rd floors are vague and gigantic creatures. People who ascend the Tower become more and more powerful until they reach the highest accessible level and become Rankers; those with higher and higher Rank are closer and closer to godlike. Some of the very highest Ranks are held by Jahad, King of the Tower, and the heads of the Ten Great Families. They've been granted Complete Immortality by the Guardians and are not only immense in power but also described as having godlike status to the inhabitants of the Tower and being worshiped. Jahad, in his own words, sees things from a god-like perspective and is trying to bring fate itself under his control. Another living God would be Phantaminum, being a man-made God who can't be interfered with by any other than his equal. Just like the relatively less powerful Enryu, he's an "Irregular" who entered the Tower on his own power rather than being chosen by Headon and displayed such great power that his Rank is higher than King Jahad. |

Demonbane: The War God Demonbane is a Humongous Mecha so large it destroys the universe where it is summoned and actually collides with the multiverse. Powerful enough to manipulate universes, and is so overpowered, even Nyarlathotep must go back in time to kill the pilot before he summoned it. Its response? Evolving into the even more powerful form, Elder God Demonbane. It's much smaller, but it has the power to call copies of the War God form, from every reality (in case you wonder, one reality means one multiverse) that has existed, currently exist, will exist, and NEVER existed. In short, More Than Infinite. Needless to say, these only appear in hidden routes of the visual novel. There are several other lesser examples, but not by much. To give you an insight to just how ridiculously powerful the examples here are, the prequel novel manages to answer what would happen if two nigh-omnipotent beings ever clashed: Endless conflict where the damage of one is ret-conned by the other before it even happens, with universes consumed as collateral damage. The aforementioned Nyarlathotep thinks this is very boring. So he ret-cons the two out of existence. And to think even this pales in comparison to the above... |

Homestuck has several levels of this: For one, the players' goal is to create a new universe, and therefore they are gods in a way, whether they're God Tier or not. Karkat uses this fact to back up his claims that he is a god. God Tier players are heroes who have fulfilled certain requirements in the game, and are granted immortality (with a couple of exceptions) and complete mastery over their Aspect. Even at the lowest level of God Tier power, John is able to use wind to drill a giant hole straight down to the core of a planet within minutes. The First Guardians (and anyone else with a conduit to the Green Sun) are said to be functionally omnipotent and omniscient (they're not quite in actuality, but so far above mortal creatures they might as well be). They can destroy worlds with a snap of their fingers and one such being was capable of annihilating not just an entire universe, but every instance of that universe that could ever possibly exist. They can be killed but there are very few entities powerful enough to have a chance at actually doing that. Lord English combines the above two ability sets and possibly others we don't know about at this point, in addition to his already formidable natural abilities, making him the most powerful entity yet introduced. His power and thirst for destruction are great enough that he routinely destroys universes and afterlives, and poses a credible threat to the totality of all existence. He has complete, unconditional immortality as well. The only way to kill him? Glitching reality itself. |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Force is usually portrayed as a nonspecific Sentient Cosmic Force, but "The One" arc in this series introduced Son, Daughter, and Father, who were, apparently, aspects of the Force that had taken on humanoid form. Unless they were just very powerful Force Adepts whose relationship perfectly mirrored the nature of Balance... it is very ambiguous. In Star Wars Rebels, Veris Hydan refers to them as gods implying that they were believed to be gods at some point in the past. Star Wars Legends revealed them to be the Last of His Kind of a race of Precursors known as the Celestials. | |

In With Strings Attached, George meets and talks to Ardav, one of the Dalns gods. What this gender-less god's powers are is unknown, except that it can bring people to its home dimension, and that anyone who speaks to it cannot remember what it looks like. At one point, thanks to the amazing mundanity surrounding the Dalns gods—their “worshippers” are more like employees and, in fact, don't even know what “worship” means—George speculates that they're actually phonies who set themselves up as gods. The various reveals about them during the book (e.g., they had a court fight over who was to control C'hou) leave the matter ambiguous, but they are definitely Jerkass Gods. Given how powerful the four become, the trope could possibly apply to them. Well before they get any power, John sardonically refers to the four as the gods of rock 'n' roll. |

Higurashi: When They Cry is in some ways all about gods. Not only is there a powerful local god who walks among the students but our Token Mini-Moe Rika, who is her descendant, is something of a demi-god as well. The witches in Umineko: When They Cry blur this trope somewhat with The Fair Folk, at least in the meta-world. How "physical" this makes them is up for a lot of Mind Screw-tastic debate. While Featherine Augustus Aurora is a metaphysical entity, her human form, Hachijo Ikuko, isn't far from being one. Despite all the reality warping shown in the metaphysical world, she is actually able to use the Red Truth in the real world and even able to call Ange to an alternate version of her future. |

Nobody Dies: The more powerful Angels are considered this, even by the other Angels. ADAM in particular is in a class of his own, with literally world-shattering power. Observe Israfel's description of Zeruel, second only to ADAM in power: Imagine a being with a heartbeat that could move an island. A gaze that can burn down a mountain. More power in his little pinky then we have in our full, entire form. Imagine something that early Lilim wrote about, thinking it was Omnipotent, Almighty, and a vengeful God. Imagine that, and maybe you can imagine Zeruel. | |

Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War is the last of the Titans. Too bad he is the Mad one. Hulk's punches barely even stagger him, and the only one to near fatally injure him is Thor's Stormbreaker, which is the most powerful Asgardian weapon and the second most powerful weapon overall behind the Infinity Gauntlet. He also gives a Curb-Stomp Battle to almost everyone in the movie. His Children, especially Ebony Maw, worship him like cult members would. | |

They have a myriad of shapes, but usually wear their old human forms — or humanoid shapes — when they interact with mortals (their "public relations" bodies to put it another way). Their powers include immortality, psychic powers, and limited reality warping. Each one of them is attuned to a concept and has powers associated with it: Shinji, God of Trickery, has limited omniscience, the greatest psychic powers and shoots lightning bolts; Asuka, Goddess of War is super strong, super fast, nearly invulnerable and master of combat — armed or otherwise — and so on... | |

The Owl House: "Edge of the World" reveals that the Collector is worshipped as a god called the Huntsman on a different Titan corpse. In "King's Tide" once freed he proceeds to demonstrate his capabilities as this when he moves the moon by simply dragging it like a touchscreen, flicking it away from the sun to stop the draining spell, then proceeds to level Belos' lair by lifting his arms while levitating and summoning King back to him. They're so powerful that the only thing capable of defeating and imprisoning them was a fully grown Titan, a being the size of an island with immense magical power, and even then it's heavily implied that the Titan died in the process. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor is a literal god, which is part of why it's very hard to hurt him seriously when he's at full strength. He briefly is made a mortal by his father Odin as a punishment in his first movie. Thor: Ragnarok makes this godhood much more clear with Asgard's SistineChapel-like artwork of him and his newfound and enhanced lightning powers that let him humble the Hulk. He even managed to fatally wound Thanos all by himself when other heroes couldn't even touch him one bit. This also applies to his father Odin and his sister Hela, the Goddess of Death. Both are far more powerful than other Asgardians and have a connection to the realm other Asgardians lack. Odin is depicted with a Holy Halo on Asgardian frescoes. Downplayed in regard to Thor's adopted brother Loki. He hails from a race of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens and calls himself the God of Mischief, but unlike Odin, Thor and Hela Loki doesn't have innate godlike powers, and all his skills come from learning. Ego the Living Planet in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a Celestial, an eternal entity, millions of years old, able to assimilate matter and manipulate it on a molecular level by mere will, which he has used to not only take physical form as a planet, but to create humanoid extensions of himself and send them to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. His avatars are super strong and durable, have a potent Healing Factor, and can manipulate matter that isn't part of Ego to the extent of effortlessly wiping out a fleet of drone-ships singlehandedly. Peter Quill is half Celestial, and the son of Ego. As such, when he gains control of his powers over the planet, he's the only one who can match daddy dearest in a straight fight. However, he loses his powers once his father dies. Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War is the last of the Titans. Too bad he is the Mad one. Hulk's punches barely even stagger him, and the only one to near fatally injure him is Thor's Stormbreaker, which is the most powerful Asgardian weapon and the second most powerful weapon overall behind the Infinity Gauntlet. He also gives a Curb-Stomp Battle to almost everyone in the movie. His Children, especially Ebony Maw, worship him like cult members would. By Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Wanda can change reality, create things (even living beings) out of nothing, give people superpowers and take them away and demolish every opponent that confronts her. She's also prophesized to either rule or destroy the Multiverse. By the end of the film, the only beings that surpass Wanda in power are Dormammu, the Celestials, Chthon, the Ennead and the Living Tribunal. |

Dungeons & Dragons: In the core rules, deities are typically stereotypical, unreachable gods. The official Deities and Demigods book, and the unofficial (but considerably more popular) Immortal's Handbook, present the deities in a way that fits this trope perfectly, along with how to advance high-level characters to godhood. Early editions also had a book called Deities and Demigods, and an adventure with deity rules called Wrath of the Immortals. Specifically, the old boxed set/later Rules Cyclopedia version of D&D has not so much "gods" as "Immortals" (yes, with a capital I) taking the same role — virtually all of which were actually ascended mortals who had once lived and fought in the game world. Really high-level player characters can potentially quest for and achieve the same status, using rules from either the old Immortals set or the Wrath of the Immortals box. Ascension to divinity or even beyond it is still in the cards for 4th edition D&D characters with an appropriate Epic Destiny (basically the third "class" picked at level 21 in addition to the base class and the level 11-20 "paragon path" the character will normally already have). So far this simply means retiring the character from the campaign, though. Advanced D&D has the Queen of the Demonweb Pits adventure, where the goal is to find the Drow goddess Lolth in her home dimension and kill her Deader than Dead. Not bad for a bunch of mere mortals. The aforementioned Immortal's Handbook takes this trope MUCH further than any other book mentioned. The most powerful monster in the book can punch planets to pieces, and it's a golem created by even stronger beings called time lords. Time lords are below high lords, who are below the Supreme Being (not-quite-omnipotent ruler of the omniverse), and there are things called ultrals from a level of existence higher than omniversal. Note that all of these beings (except maybe the ultrals since we don't know much) are just as physical as the other gods in D&D. Eberron is one of the few settings that averts this, the gods are so abstract it's even plausible that they don't actually exist and clerics get their magic from faith alone, which is supported by a few cults based around mortal entities or undead such as the Blood of Vol. Forgotten Realms: During the Time of Troubles, all the gods were reduced to Physical Gods. (The novels actually gave the impression they might have been too weak to qualify.) A lot of gods get killed during this time, and one mortal kills and absorbs the portfolios of so many deities that the Overgod is forced to do some role-shuffling when the whole thing is over. Oh, and the death of the god of magic is used as an excuse for the different rules for magic in the new edition of the game. More than once. All gods can send avatars to the Realms, though only a few do so regularly. The main problem with the Avatar Crisis (another name for the Time of Troubles) was that they were stuck in avatar form, and barred from leaving the Realms (the other problem was that killing them while they were in avatar form would kill them, rather than merely stripping them of the power invested in the avatar). The 5th edition Tyranny of Dragons adventure can end with the players taking on Tiamat, who was summoned into the Material Plane by her loyal cultists. The players can sabotage the summoning ritual to weaken her before she arrives, and may the gods help them if they don't: at her full power, Tiamat is one of the nastiest creatures in 5E. |

Stargate SG-1: The Goa'uld would very much like their subjects to believe this, when they're really just Sufficiently Advanced Aliens pretending to be gods. The Goa'uld Anubis (who's also the most evil) on the other hand fits this completely, having become a "half-ascended" upper-dimensional Energy Being who manifests in the lower realms to continue being venerated as a divine Evil Overlord. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Avatars are a vergence of spirit and human: of Raava, the great spirit of peace and harmony, and the latest human incarnate she blends with. As such, the living Avatar is the only individual capable of wielding all four Elemental Powers in the form of Supernatural Martial Arts, and of channeling cosmic energies to amplify these elemental powers to epic levels. This is quite necessary, as they lack invulnerability and need to actively defend themselves like anyone else. The second season of The Legend of Korra introduced the "Dark Avatar", the fusion of Raava's eternal foe Vaatu, spirit of chaos and darkness, and Korra's Evil Uncle Unalaq. Before the era of the Avatar, the massive Lion Turtles were this. They protected humans from the spirits. They were responsible for the creation of the Avatar when they granted the power of the four elements to a teenager named Wan. Unfortunately different factions of humans waged wars on each other and slaughtered the Lion Turtles to weaken other factions. Only one managed to survive and lived long enough to meet Aang. The Lion Turtle taught Aang Energybending, a skill rare even among the Avatars. |

They meet Zeus, Mercury, Venus, Vulcan and Apollo, and it's mentioned that the other Olympians are "on a day trip to Asgard". In the second arc, they join the New Gods to battle Darkseid In the third arc, Destruction of the Endless, the anthropomorphic personification of the self-named cosmic principle allies himself with the heroes. |

Transcendence: As far as most of Azeroth is concerned, Ichigo counts as one. Even bound to a vessel that severely limits his Shinigami powers, he regularly pulls off stunts that most humans couldn't hope to accomplish, and his latent spiritual power is compared to minor deities such as the Ancient Guardians and the Loa. One character even refers to him as "the young god". Ichigo doesn't seem to put much stock into this himself though. | |

Steven Universe: The four Diamonds. They are physical giants; they appear to have powers far beyond ordinary Gems; it is implied that there are multiple copies of all other Gem-types while the Diamonds are each one-of-a-kind; Gems are a manufactured race, but the question of who 'made' the Diamonds has yet to be raised; and they are capable of living forever unless shattered, which is an eventuality so unthinkable that the shattering of Pink Diamond was a cataclysmic event in Gem history, as well as a source of great mystery as to how it actually 'happened', even to the Diamonds themselves. And it turns out she was never actually shattered in the first place — she faked her own shattering using a handful of counterfeit gem shards. Truly shattering a Diamond may actually be impossible. It's worth noting that Gem Homeworld society appears to be a Cult of Personality built around depicting the Diamonds as living gods, so how much of this is truth and how much of this is good PR is anyone's guess. This essentially means that Steven Universe also counts as one since he inherited Pink Diamond's gem, though he has yet to realize his full potential. When we finally see Yellow and Blue fight themselves, it proves to be more than simply PR: they possess immense sheer power and strength, a Superpower Lottery, and are Nigh-Invulnerable enough that buildings and entire miles long warships falling on their heads is considered a minor inconvenience. When Steven's Gem is removed by White Diamond, his Gem reforms not as Pink Diamond or even Rose Quartz but as a pink Hard Light version of Steven. "Pink Steven" shows just how powerful Steven's Gem really is by easily overcoming even White Diamond herself in his attempts to reunite with Steven. |

Gunnerkrigg Court: Coyote is physical enough to be... spanked. Doing so is strongly discouraged. And if you think Ysengrin was just protecting his little talking doggie, Coyote will be quick to remind you who's in charge. He gave Ysengrin and Renard their powers, dug the giant ravine outside the Court with his bare paw, and can pull the moon out of the sky on a whim. It's a good thing he doesn't share Ysengrin's desired fate for humanity... Jones may also qualify. There hasn't been much display of any powers (yet), but she's completely invulnerable to absolutely everything and has existed for as long as the Earth itself, with her first memory being buried alive in the churning magma that was the Earth's surface during the planet's creation billions of years ago. She also knows what the dinosaurs actually looked like, but refuses to tell Annie as she wants humanity to find out on its own first. Loup is definitely this, considering he is the fusion of Coyote and Ysengrin. Even worse, he lacks what little restraint either of his components had and demonstrates what a Physical God can really do when he nearly wipes out the Court with a swipe of his hand. Even the forcefield the Court Robots generate to stop him only initially worked because he was surprised by it. He later claims and demonstrates that he could easily destroy that too. |

Star Trek: Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as the better-behaved rest of the Q Continuum. It's unsure just what Q's limits are. He does enjoy pushing humans' buttons by acting like a god, in any case (including in "Tapestry" when Picard dies and Q literally appears to him as "God"). In the episode "Hide and Q", Q gives such powers to Riker. Some think Trelane is a Q, too. (In the novel Q-Squared, he is, and Q has to deal with him.) In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Death Wish", Quinn, while seeking political asylum to commit suicide, asserts that, while the Q wish to give the impression of godhood, they are not in fact omnipotent. There have been several other almost god-level beings that seem to be close to the same power level of the Q (including Kevin from "The Survivors", who destroyed an entire species with a thought, or the species that ended a war between the Federation and Klingons), although a lot of them are energy beings so they may or may not count. |

Kamen Rider Kamen Rider Gaim revolves around the pursuit of godlike power, and ends with Kouta and Mai succeeding and ascending to godhood. We don't see much of what their limits are, but we know they have some: Mai time-travels and finds her actions restrained and unable to change the past Because Destiny Says So — but that doesn't take away from the fact that she can will herself through time to begin with. In Kamen Rider Zi-O, it has been showcased many times that Oma Zi-O's status is nothing less than nigh-omnipotent. Beyond the fact that he has the powers of every single every Rider of the Heisei era, he has unparalleled abilities in using Psychokinesis, Super Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability, the ability to Freeze Time while keeping his victims aware, and the power to project waves of disintegrating force. And all this is just the tip of the ice berg as every single battle he is in is a one sided slaughter that ends in the blink of an eye due to being so above everyone in the setting. Even after his younger self had obtained the power of every single rider before him, he still isn't even anywhere close to his level. Kamen Rider Solomon and Kamen Rider Xross Saber in Kamen Rider Saber, both of whom are nigh-omnipotent reality-warpers thanks to the sources of power they use (the former's being a chunk of the Almighty Book while the latter's a Seiken formed from the powers of all the other Seiken). It's taken a step further for Saber in the finale when he manages to write back reality into existence after it gets destroyed by the Final Boss. |

Ultraman King, the leader of the Showa Era Ultras, and the closest thing their universe has shown to God. He is revered as all powerful and so immensely strong that it only took him three moves to defeat Ultraman Belial: the first was telekinetically grabbing him, the second throwing him telekinetically into orbit, and the last one was creating a moon around him for the sole purpose of imprisoning him. In Ultraman Geed, he takes the normal Ultra ability of fusing with a mortally wounded being to resurrect them up a notch by doing it to the freaking universe after Belial destroys it with a universe breaking bomb. | |

Gargoyles: Oberon's Children (and especially Oberon himself) are really The Fair Folk, but due to their immense power, they were worshipped as gods. Anubis and Odin are a few other examples, but not Jesus of course. Goliath becomes one for an episode after donning the Eye of Odin in a desperate attempt to stop Odin from killing him and his companions in his bid to retrieve the Eye. He becomes even more powerful than Odin himself thanks to the Eye's ability to drain Odin's power. Unfortunately, With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. |

Pony POV Series: All of the Alicorns and Draconnequi qualify, except their Elders, who are actual gods. It's said that Celestia, when not holding back, could destroy an entire planet with a solar flare if she so desired, which thankfully she doesn't. There's also Queen Tiamat, the Mother of All Dragons and their patron deity. Her power alone qualifies her for this, as she single-handedly turned the tide of the Dragon-Hooviet War when she entered the fray. By the time she was finished, half the Hooviet Empire was blazing ruin with her willingly stopping just short of the capital. The Hooviets didn't leave a scratch on her. Her husband Bahamut is every bit as strong. Mother Deer is to her people what Tiamat is to the dragons, though she's also a pacifist, so she leaves the fighting to her followers. |

The Adventure Zone: Balance has several: Istus, the lady of fate, whom the heroes meet in one of her churches in The Eleventh Hour. The Four Judges are godlike entities in the form of giant statues, who rule the world of Cycle 65 in The Stolen Century. They appear again, corrupted by The Hunger, in Story and Song. In the Live Boston Stunt Spectacular show, they prevent Garagos, the forgotten god of war, from being summoned from his imprisonment, but not before his 5 hands appear, and destroy the arena. Merle finally meets Pan face-to-face in episode two of Story and Song. |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse has Grammaw, a colossal Thunderwyrm revered as a goddess by Black Spiral Dancers. Grammaw nests underneath a nuclear testing site in New Mexico and serves as a living caern for the Trinity Hive. Grammaw exists simultaneously in the physical world and Umbra, houses elemental spirits throughout her body, induces terrifying visions and disfigurements in those passing through her system, and can even grant rebirth to Garou she deems worthy. | |

Ultraman Noa is revered as a god-like being throughout his universe and at full power can seal dimensional rifts among other godly powers. He's so immensely powerful that the only reason the series happens is he loses most of his power in a previous universe saving situation and has to regain it. Once he's back to full strength in the Final Battle, Dark Zagi doesn't stand a chance and is literally punched into orbit. | |

A very downplayed example, but the Animator vs. Animation series takes place in a computer. Because of this, the Animator who owns the computer is pretty much a god, having the abillity of create and destroy whatever and whoever he wants. It's downplayed because outside of the computer, the Animator is a normal human. When you think about it, the same goes for pretty much everyone who owns a computer, as it's implied a huge part of the programs is sentient. |

The Shinza Bansho Series is littered with gods of various kinds, but the central focus is on the great Hegemonic Gods and their conflicts, beings that are considered to rank among the most ludicrously overpowered characters in fiction. Suffice to say, forget planets or galaxies, entire universes or even multiverses quake and crumble when these beings clash. Common to them all is that started out as somewhat regular humans who then grew powerful enough to alter the reality around them according to their wishes, eventually turning those wishes into new natural laws that would govern the multiverse. They are, in order: The First Heaven, Mithra the Truth. She governed the world of moral absolutes and making good and evil revolve around herself. A world torn by endless warfare between the two sides that are fated to never be able to reconcile. The Second Heaven, Magsarion the Remorseless. He governs the world of the eternal sin and planting sin in the hearts of all. It's a world driven by a Darwinist ideology and the darkest sides of humanity is always at the forefront. The Third Heaven, Nerose Satanel the Morning-star. The sinless god, he rules a world of no sin filled with happiness, rationality and purity but devoid of free will. The Fourth Heaven, Mercurius the Mercurial Snake. Eternal Recurrence, a world where all souls endlessly repeat their lives without knowledge of their past lives apart from those sensitive to the whispers of the past timelines. Also the world that acted as the birth of alternate timelines and realities, giving birth to a multiverse. The Fifth Heaven, Marguerite Breuilh the Twilight. She rules a world of acceptance and reincarnation. A peaceful world where all have to right to a second chance to improve their lives and where all ways of life are embraced. The Sixth Heaven, Mara Papiyas the Evil One. He rules a world driven by selfishness and rejection of others. A self-destructive world that prevents new birth and destroys old life as all life vies to destroy itself until only it's ruler is left. The Seventh Heaven, Hirume the Dawn. The current ruling God. A world that incorporates elements from past dynasties, souls are now able to chose which world they want to be born into and to chose the afterlife of their desire. And finally, there are the two Gods who never had any rule due to either being slain by another God or forfeiting the right to rule to another but are still recognized as true Gods. Those are Ren Fujii the Moment, the ruler over the ephemeral moment and eternal stagnation, and Reinhard Heydrich the Golden Beast, the ruler over eternal strife and war. |

In Project G.e.e.K.e.R., Geeker is an artificial lifeform who has complete mastery over his own molecular structure. That makes him very powerful. His only limitation is that he was freed before the loyalty and intelligence program could be installed, making him a Cloudcuckoolander who is blissfully unaware of how powerful he actually is. | |

World Tree (RPG) has many of the world's creator gods appear in physical form on the titular World Tree, and, being the source of all magic in the setting, they're about as powerful as you would expect. Some of them blatantly reveal their identity and openly display their omnipotence (indeed, some of them lead guilds and other organisations, and one of them in particular, Birkozon, the god of telepathy and mental magic, rules an entire realm on the tree). Yet others prefer to stay hidden, walk in disguise, or not get physically involved much with the world they created at all. | |

In Kamen Rider Zi-O, it has been showcased many times that Oma Zi-O's status is nothing less than nigh-omnipotent. Beyond the fact that he has the powers of every single every Rider of the Heisei era, he has unparalleled abilities in using Psychokinesis, Super Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability, the ability to Freeze Time while keeping his victims aware, and the power to project waves of disintegrating force. And all this is just the tip of the ice berg as every single battle he is in is a one sided slaughter that ends in the blink of an eye due to being so above everyone in the setting. Even after his younger self had obtained the power of every single rider before him, he still isn't even anywhere close to his level. | |

In Wakfu, anyone who taps into the power of artifacts such as the Eliacube or the 12 Dofus will gain power equal to or even surpassing that of the official deities of the World of Twelve. For more specific examples: Ogrest, the being responsible for the flood that shaped the World of Twelve into what it is now. Originally a relatively harmless infant created from Ogrine by the demigod alchemist Otomai, he consumed the six Elemental Dofus while being manipulated by the doll Dathura. The six Dofus transformed Ogrest into an incredibly powerful monster whose might surpassed that of the Twelve, but he was reduced to a near mindless raging beast in the process. Even better, he can command the loyalty of the six elemental Dragons linked to the Dofus he possesses, each one just barely below deity levels of strength themselves. Nox was once a harmless Xelor clock and toy maker who lacked talent in the Time Master magic of his race. Discovering the Eliacube changed that. The Eliacube made him far more powerful, intelligent, and crazy. In the end, he accomplished something that was originally deemed impossible even by the gods by reversing the flow of time. Albeit by a mere twenty minutes, but rewinding time for the entire Krosmos (read, the universe) for any length of time is no small feat. The only beings capable of matching him power-wise once he went all-out were one of the Eliatrope dragons and Yugo after he tapped into the Eliacube's power himself. The Dragons born from the Eliatrope Dofus are technically "only" demigods, being among the firstborn of the Wakfu goddess Eliatrope and the Stasis god Great Dragon. Compared to the mortal denizens of the World of Twelve, they are effectively deities in their own right. Similar rankings can seen with the strongest elemental Dragons created through the hand of the god Osamodas. Qilby effectively becomes one after merging with the Eliacube, displaying Eliatrope powers of a far greater magnitude than Yugo's own, even after Phaeris unlocked Yugo's potential. Even the combined might of the rest of the Eliatropes isn't enough to stop him. He is only foiled when a Dofus explodes right in his face, separating him from the Eliacube. Rushu, the strongest of the Shushu who resides in the pure Stasis dimension of Shukrute. He wants to be recognized as a fellow deity by the Twelve, but they refuse on the grounds that a being of pure Stasis would upset the balance between Wafku and Stasis that exists on the World of Twelve. He's already regarded as a deity in his own dimension, having eaten any would-be competitors (his brothers no less), but that's not enough for him. He's managed to gain a few followers in the World of Twelve such as the city of Brakmar (which unsurprisingly is something of a Wretched Hive). Goultard the Barbarian started out as a demigod, being the son of Iop and the mortal woman Catrine. He eventually became the immortal steward to Iop's power while Iop himself is on leave reincarnating into mortal incarnations and is effectively the new Iop. He's strong enough to fight the aforementioned Rushu on an even footing and in the OVA he defeats Rushu and uses the would-be god as a footrest. Sadlygrove, being the current incarnation of Iop briefly becomes a physical god again when he reclaims his power so he can fight Ogrest in the OVA. By the end of it, he is glad to hand the power back to Goultard for keeps having remembered why he gave up godhood in the first place. Yugo is already a demigod, being the firstborn child of Eliatrope and Great Dragon. But when he taps into the power of all six Eliatrope Dofus in the OVA, he becomes so powerful that he is able to fight Ogrest and his six Dragons. Too powerful unfortunately, since just channeling that much wafku threatens to tear the World of Twelve apart. He also kind of breaks the timestream a bit, allowing humans in the Dofus era to see him. Said humans start to worship Yugo as a new god, which retroactively creates a new race in the World of Twelve, the Eliotropes. In Season 3, Adamai is already very powerful, being the strongest of the aforementioned Eliatrope Dragons when fully grown. When channeling all six of the Eliatrope Dofus like Yugo did, he's bar none the most powerful being in the series, even stronger than the actual Twelve Gods. Unfortunately, he's an antagonist this season. Also from Season 3, there's the Big Bad Oropo. Oropo is the last Eliotrope, having inherited the wakfu of all of the others when they passed. He's had centuries to hone the same powers his "creator" Yugo wields. He also has possession of the Eliacube. Near the end of the season, he absorbs the power of the Eliacube and the six Eliatrope Dofus to become a massive owl-like giant made of pure wakfu that curb stomps the heroes with ease, with even Goultard himself barely able to do much more than deflect his attacks. |

Godzilla: Mothra is a literal Goddess but despite that condition has a lot of physical weakness and even is mortal. However she is a Legacy Character that keeps living through her offspring, as she lays at least one egg before dying and her children takes her place as full time protector of Infant Island and part time protector of the rest of the world. In Godzilla (2014), Godzilla himself is described as being like a god compared to the MUTOs. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) reveals that various monsters including Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and even King Kong were worshiped as physical gods collectively known as "Titans". Most of the Titans are benevolent acting as enforcers of balance in nature. The only truly evil Titan (so far) is King Ghidorah, though he's actually an alien. |

The earliest examples came from Angel Notes, the TYPES. Eldritch Abominations that overwrite the rules of reality around them and substitute their own just by existing, and is therefore extremely difficult to even damage, let alone kill. Even if their bodies are destroyed, they still exist and are able to reform their physical bodies, since they are just physical incarnations of the Ultimate Ones. They don't really contribute much to the plot before Angel Notes (where they came to Earth to destroy humanity), although TYPE-Moon was very active in the backstory of Tsukihime. | |

Futurama: One episode features an odd example: a galaxy-sized space anomaly who admits it may or may not be God (it's not sure itself). It does have incredible power and apparently receives a portion of God's worship, though. Yivo from The Beast With a Billion Backs qualifies. Shkle is a planet-sized entity from another universe who possesses nigh-invulnerable tentacles capable of destroying or breaking any form of matter from our universe due to being made of electromatter, a primordial form of matter. Yivo can also resurrect the dead, travel between universes at will, alter matter and energy and shkle's body is literally Heaven itself, capable of providing resources and room for all life in our universe. The only things that can kill Yivo is electromatter or exiting shkler's universe. |

In Bruce Almighty, the title character becomes one for a while when the real God gives His powers to him, with the only limitations being that Bruce can't tell anyone about it or alter free will. He keeps Bruce's mind completely human however, setting him up to fail in handling His powers and responsibility, and Bruce eventually learns humility and to better his life without godlike abilities. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The players are said (by the game) to be Planeswalkers (so go some of the introductory blurbs, "You are a Planeswalker."), incredibly powerful wizards with near-godlike abilities, capable of summoning creatures, magicks and artifacts of power from numerous planes for the purpose of dueling one another. And if you don't buy that, the card-type planeswalker represents lesser mages who can be called on to fight for you, and while not as "powerful" as you, they still possess abilities that can approach Game-Breaker with a little push. The red ones in particular can easily kill a full Planeswalker by themselves, though it could take them a while. Since the power of a Planeswalker card in play is measured in "loyalty" counters, which can be removed by dealing damage to it, the card could be interpreted as the player calling in a favor from an ally who may get annoyed and run off after a few decent hits, or after you ask them for particularly taxing favors. The New Phyrexia Planeswalker card "Karn Liberated" is a particularly powerful one; his last and most expensive ability ("ultimate" in player parlance) restarts the entire game, with only the cards he chose to exile starting in play. In context, he remakes whatever world you're currently in, in whatever image you ask him to. note Of course most players just surrender once Karn gets to that point. Considering you don't make use of his other ability or if he doesn't take any damage, you can win most games after 3 turns with Karn on the field. The Theros expansion introduces "God" as a creature type, defining deities as enchantments that also become creatures when you control a certain amount of permanents with that color's mana symbol. Much like classical Greek deities, they regularly interact with the physical world and can be killed — although it takes a lot of power, far more than most mortals can ever muster, to do so. Amonkhet features gods of its own, which are far more physical than Theros' enchantment-gods and live among mortals as, essentially, giant, superpowered and animal-headed people. Prior to the Mending, Planeswalkers were so powerful that they could not be represented in card form. The Mending changed the fundamental nature of the Planeswalker spark. It no longer grants incredible power, merely the ability to safely travel between planes. This is why the newer Planeswalkers can be represented as cards. The only Planeswalker left that still possesses godlike power is Nicol Bolas, and he had to absorb a conflux of mana from a shattered plane to do it — and even then he only regained a fragment of the power he once held. |

By Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Wanda can change reality, create things (even living beings) out of nothing, give people superpowers and take them away and demolish every opponent that confronts her. She's also prophesized to either rule or destroy the Multiverse. By the end of the film, the only beings that surpass Wanda in power are Dormammu, the Celestials, Chthon, the Ennead and the Living Tribunal. | |

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: In the Grand Finale, Ben possesses the powers of the Ultimatrix, Ascalon, and Dagon. Vilgax tries to corrupt him into becoming a universe-conquering tyrant by pointing out that Ben could do anything, and fix everything with that much power at his fingertips. Ultimately, Ben's girlfriend Julie convinces him not to abuse the power. Ben only uses his powers to restore Earth's population back to normal before relinquishing them to Azmuth. Dagon was also this, considering that he is a half-mile-wide octopus thing who can change size, mind control people, control the weather, and a few other godly things. His first move was to turn everyone in the world into Esoterica. Celestialsapiens could be considered a god species, since they could remake all of reality with a single thought. Then recall that Ben can turn into one using the Omnitrix. |

Generator Rex: In the Grand Finale, Rex gains the power of the united Meta-Nanites. When he ponders what he should do with his newfound power, Black Knight says "You're a god now Rex. You can do anything you want." Fortunately, Rex only uses that power once to initiate a global Cure event before ordering the Meta-Nanites to shut down. He doesn't want anyone to have access to such power again, including himself. | |

The Ultra Series has multiple beings that have god in their title or appear god-like from a human perspective, but there are three Ultras that are this trope: Ultraman King, the leader of the Showa Era Ultras, and the closest thing their universe has shown to God. He is revered as all powerful and so immensely strong that it only took him three moves to defeat Ultraman Belial: the first was telekinetically grabbing him, the second throwing him telekinetically into orbit, and the last one was creating a moon around him for the sole purpose of imprisoning him. In Ultraman Geed, he takes the normal Ultra ability of fusing with a mortally wounded being to resurrect them up a notch by doing it to the freaking universe after Belial destroys it with a universe breaking bomb. Ultraman Legend, the Fusion Dance of Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Justice, is revered as the 'god of the universe' in legend and may actually be Cosmos and Justice's true form. While he doesn't exist long enough to show much, he's capable of effortlessly pushing back a planet buster level Wave-Motion Gun and then completely obliterate the gigantic Giga Endra in one hit. Ultraman Noa is revered as a god-like being throughout his universe and at full power can seal dimensional rifts among other godly powers. He's so immensely powerful that the only reason the series happens is he loses most of his power in a previous universe saving situation and has to regain it. Once he's back to full strength in the Final Battle, Dark Zagi doesn't stand a chance and is literally punched into orbit. |

Thor is a literal god, which is part of why it's very hard to hurt him seriously when he's at full strength. He briefly is made a mortal by his father Odin as a punishment in his first movie. Thor: Ragnarok makes this godhood much more clear with Asgard's SistineChapel-like artwork of him and his newfound and enhanced lightning powers that let him humble the Hulk. He even managed to fatally wound Thanos all by himself when other heroes couldn't even touch him one bit. | |

Super Sentai has several of these. Most of them can be put into two categories. The first are villains, mostly the lead villain, who either is an already godlike being or gains this power later on, or a sentient mecha.. The mecha in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger are gods, and their ultimate combined form is essentially the supreme ruler of the universe. Daijinryuu from Gosei Sentai Dairanger is a deity looking like a huge Asian dragon tasked with preserving the peace of the universe. Because the conflict between the Dairangers and Gorma was threatening said peace, Daijinryuu visited earth to warn them to stop. Otherwise it would destroy the planet. GaoGod from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger is the originator of the Power Animals the rangers use and the protector of nature itself. The enemies in the final arc of Mahou Sentai Magiranger were the Ten Hades Gods of Infershia. These were ten godlike creatures tasked with reviving their leaders, who goes under the name of Absolute God Nma. Deboth, the lead villain of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger attains godhood during the finale, becoming Transcendenterfly God Deboth. |

Warhammer 40,000: The C'tan star-gods of the Necron faction can personally take to the battlefield. Only two of the remaining four gods are active however, with the third irreversibly Driven to Madness and the fourth still sleeping. Also, the Avatars of Khaine and the Yncarne, the Avatar of Ynnead. The aptly-named God-Emperor of Man was this back when he was still up and walking rather than on life support. Despite his insistence that he wasn't. There are also his sons, the Primarchs. While not as powerful as him, all of them are much more powerful than a normal man. The only reason that the Emperor was wounded as badly as he was by Horus was because he was his favorite son, whom he was hesistant to kill. Once he saw the depths of Horus's depravity, he erased him from existence with a single psychic blast. The Daemon Primarchs even more so. Take a Primarch, give up his soul to a Chaos God, and replace it with raw Warp power. The result is something second only to the Chaos Gods themselves in terms of power and malevolence, with Complete Immortality to boot. The only tradeoff (besides having a Chaos God own your soul forever) is that their new existence as Warp entities means they cannot manifest in the Materium without a huge expenditure of power. The Greater Daemon minions of the Chaos Gods when they enter the Materium. The Gods themselves are too powerful to take a physical form. Alpha psykers and above usually veer into this territory. Physically they're more or less members of their respective species, but their psychic powers are so vast they can make reality their bitch without even consciously thinking about it. Stories tell of alpha-psykers snapping Emperor Titans in half with a thought, wiping out armies with a glance, or mind-controlling whole hive cities just by being there. One Nurglite alpha could infect the population of entire planets with Grandfather Nurgle's diseases before his ship even arrived in the system. As a side effect of their reality warping they often become very hard to kill, either by wrapping themselves in impenetrable barriers or by just ignoring boring inconveniences like physics. And let's not forget that even the death of an alpha can have devastating consequences — they often explode with enough power to inflict an Earth-Shattering Kaboom on the world they're on, or spawn any number of really nasty Warp incursions. Unsurprisingly for the Crapsack World that is the 40K universe, such displays of tangible power tend to attract huge numbers of devout followers, usually of the Chaos persuasion. |

In El Goonish Shive, Immortals can gain this status if they go long enough without resetting. Even if an Immortal does reach this level of capability, however, actually using their full power corporeally would likely break Immortal law resulting in being forcibly reset so such a display of power would be brief. Pandora demonstrates what this looks like. She kills every single aberration present, destroys "Scarf's" gun and prevents the shrapnel from hitting anyone within the span of a moment. She then leverages the mechanism of her forced reset to force all the other Immortals to carry out her plan to decimate the number of Aberrations worldwide. | |

Codex Equus: The Equestrian Alicorn Princesses are confirmed as such; while they're implied to be younger than the Alicorns still living in the outside world, they're incredibly powerful, and much more capable in canon. Celestia flash-fried a Kraken attacking Manehattan as soon the opportunity presented itself; and Cadence was able to beat up Fik'iri despite the latter being older than her, since Fik'iri is now her equal in power following her loss and de-powering in the "Abyssinian Divine Coup" event. Golden Scepter, a surviving antediluvian Alicorn Emperor from the Alicorn Civilization, is an "Antecedent"-type god, meaning that he's extremely ancient, and extremely powerful compared to the newly-Ascended Alicorns of current generations, including his nineteen sons, who are Alicorn demigods. As the Alicorn god of Psionics, he's one of the strongest psychics on Equus, to the point where his entry mentions that even the mightiest Alicorns couldn't hope to match his potent mind. Even one of his mortal Pony generals, General Aurum Lupus, had to rely on divine empowerment to even confront him during the "Aurum Apostasy" conflict after he turned traitor. As such, any attempt to fight him will almost always result in an extremely one-sided Curb-Stomp Battle. However, it's stated in his own entry that he often takes the form of a rather normal-looking Alicorn when among mortals, and whenever he needs to go unnoticed, he appears as an unassuming Earth pony stallion named Revelation. Like Queen Mzazi and Isati, he's a benevolent Humanoid Abomination who is much more powerful in his true form. Blue Suede Heartstrings is one due to being an Alicorn. It's stated that he has an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, given his origins as a famous musician, and after becoming the god of Music, he's very skilled and creative with it. His domain of Humility gives him telepathy, empathy, and precognition, and his domain of Performance gives him shapeshifting abilities and enhanced combat skills thanks to his domain of Performance. Lastly, he is a Love deity who embodies Philia Love, allowing him to see the bonds of friendship that tie mortals and/or divines together. Due to his humble character, though, he often takes the form of a mortal, though it's implied that his mortal forms are no slouches, either. His entry notes that he is a "prodigy" deity, which gives him an accelerated rate of physical and magical growth compared to normal deities, and is already showing signs of growing a second pair of wings. And because he was born in the early Second Age, he's ancient enough for people to start making guesses as to what his origins story is. Bossa Nova Heartstrings, Blue's older twin brother is one due to being an Alicorn. While he isn't a "prodigy deity" like Blue is, being a Death god automatically makes him powerful, as he can summon weapons out of thin air, appear in multiple places at once, and has power over spirits of the deceased, including the power to free them from whatever is binding them to the mortal planes. His Death domain also gives him both clairvoyance to sense when people are going to die, and psychic foresight to predict how people are going to die. His Music domain gives him control over both Magic Music and sound magic, and he has almost all the same abilities as Blue, who taught him how to use said abilities. His domain of Joy also gives him telepathic and empathic abilities that allow him to detect and spread joy, especially among the dying and deceased. As Blue's older twin brother, Bossa Nova is also pretty ancient and is only marginally older than him, though being a Death god who started out as a stillborn foal means that he doesn't have to deal with people constantly guessing his past like Blue does. As an "Antecedent"-ranked Zebra goddess, Queen Mzazi is one. As a goddess of Alchemy, she's one of the most powerful alchemists and potion-makers on Equus (and has mentored younger deities who share her domain or partake in the craft). She can generate lightning potent enough to electrocute Giants and Dragons if she chooses, and has created cataclysmic lightning storms for both offense and protection (one imperialistic fleet was wiped out down to its last soldier for trying to invade Zebrica, and Zebrica itself is surrounded by a storm whenever she goes traveling). This comes from being a goddess of Nature, though Kendell2 has stated that she embodies the stormy aspects of it rather than plant manipulation as Nature-based deities usually have. And due to being extremely ancient, her divine strength is proportionate to her "age" and she is incredibly well-versed in magic in general. As a hallmark of her "age", her true form as a Zebralicorn goddess is a gigantic Humanoid Abomination with a mane and tail composed of lightning storms, wing feathers made of lightning, and a magical wing gradient going from pink to mint-green. Prince Healing Song is one, due to being an Alicorn god from the Second Age. Like Blue Suede Heartstrings, his mentor, Healing Song has an incredible mastery over music, which manifested as the Music domain when he Ascended to godhood. Unlike Blue, though, he is skilled in using its healing/empowering aspects and mostly chooses to do that over using music to attack people. His Potential domain gives Healing Song potent precognitive abilities and the ability to empower allies with their future potential, and his Teaching domain gives Healing Song a psychic intuition that allows him to adapt to his students' needs and learning developments. His Psionics domain gives him great psychic abilities like telepathy and psionic telekinesis, and coming under the tutelage of Emperor Golden Scepter and his son, Prince Crimson Star, has given Healing Song new psychic abilities and made him even more powerful. Being a "prodigy deity" also makes him stronger compared to "normal" deities in overall power and growth. However, because of his pacifistic beliefs, Healing Song mostly chooses to serve a healing/support role and only uses his offensive abilities when necessary, though this has prevented him from fighting effectively at times. As an Alicorn, Prince Sparkling Wing is one, despite being one of the younger members of the Church. Notably, he is skilled with weather magic, a powerful empath, and can empower mortals and forge temporary bonds that allow them to share each other's abilities based on how deep they trust each other. |

Warhammer Fantasy: Sigmar, a mortal man who ascended to godhood after his death. A snake god, Sotek, manifested the same day Sigmar was born to save the lizardmen from the skaven. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems like there must be a connection given that two races were saved from extinction by different, brand new physical gods at the same time. When Chaos first showed up, the elven gods gave Aenarion the power to kick so much demonic ass that the elves managed to beat back the outpourings of a fully open warp gate long enough to partially seal it off. He single-handedly killed thousands of enemies, including four Greater Daemons. While much weaker than the top gods, Daemon Princes have superhuman strength, biological immortality, and various magical abilities and are usually worshiped as minor gods by tribes of Norscans, Kurgan, and Hung, as noted in several novels and RPG sourcebooks. One example is Kazakital in Trollslayer, whose devoted Champion explicitly refers to him as a "our daemon god." The Old Ones (Mayincatec god-like extraterrestrials worshiped by Lizardmen). They modified the orbit of the planet, the planet's continents and tectonic plates, created the Lizardmen from actual reptilians that already existed to protect their creation and then created elves, dwarfs, ogres, halflings, and humans and gifted them magic. They have spaceships, too. Also, Chaos is more or less the dark side of their magic powers. Several gods have physical avatars in the mortal world that are available as units on the tabletop, most notably Orion and Ariel, the half-elven forms of the elven gods Orion and Isha, respectively. Greater Daemons are explicitly said to be worshipped as minor gods by the Chaos-aligned tribes like the Daemon Princes (who they're stronger than), and like the above, they show up in physical form on the battlefield to fight alongside their minions. They're superhumanly strong, biologically immortal, and have various magic powers from flight to energy projection to teleportation, but can still be felled by mortal weaponry. One notable example (in the Daemons 7e army book) involved Skarbrand, the most powerful daemon of Khorne, appearing in a battle with Imperial troops only to be reduced to a puddle of gore by some pseudo-16th century blackpowder cannons. During the End Times, the Incarnates each one held one of the eight winds of magic within themselves. Sigmar also returns in physical form to do battle with Chaos once more. In addition, the elven goddess reveals that their gods are simply the ones who survived their world's fall to chaos, and intends on taking the Grail Knights of Bretonnia as well as a few chosen Elves to become the respective pantheons of the next world. Stats-wise these incarnates are about on par with the aforementioned Greater Daemons and godly avatars, which reflects in their fluff battles (e.g. the Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha taking on three l form |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Winged Unicorn Princesses Celestia and Luna are the closest things the ponies have to gods, not directly worshipped but invoked as if they were. They control the sun and the moon, and seem to be immortal (both are over a thousand years old). The comics imply that the show has not depicted their true power yet. In My Little Pony: FIENDship Is Magic, it's shown that Celestia fought Chrysalis and her entire army once. The battle ended with the Changelings utterly defeated, scarred with their holes, and sealed in a volcano. There are some other alicorns, who have powerful magic but nothing godlike, and some other beings that can challenge the power of the ruling sisters at least temporarily — but these, too, fall short of godlike, with some exceptions: Discord, the spirit of chaos, is older than the royal sisters and capable of doing just about anything with a snap of his claws, much like Q. He's also on a higher tier than the sisters as an Anthropomorphic Personification; an abstract concept instead of a celestial body. The sisters could only defeat him using the Elements of Harmony. In the Season 4 finale, Tirek becomes this after draining Discord's magic along with the magic of every pony in Equestria. Twilight Sparkle also becomes one after the other princesses give her their magic. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor could arguably considered a physical god. He is practically immortal, regenerating when he gets too old or is seriously injured, he can sense time changing around him, he can travel through all of time and space (with his time machine), and, according to the Ood, his song is sung throughout the universe. The description could be expanded to include all Time Lords in general, who in fact made it part of their mission to preserve timelines and prevent paradoxes. In fact, in "Last of the Time Lords", he actually gained further godlike powers to fly and transform matter because the entire world prayed by thinking of his name at the exact same moment. And in "The Big Bang" he literally recreates the universe. Sutekh from "Pyramids of Mars". Even the Time Lords can't beat him. And if not stopped, he would have destroyed the universe. "The Parting of the Ways": Rose Tyler temporarily became one after absorbing the Time Vortex and becoming the Bad Wolf. |

Child of the Storm has a large number: Thor, Loki, Odin and Frigga, for instance. In fact, Royal Asgardians in general, and ordinary Asgardians with specific mantles of power, e.g. Heimdall and Sif. Harry, needless to say, is progressing towards this point thanks to his ancestry. Since his maternal second cousin is Jean Grey and he got the same X-Gene, he gets it twice over, though in terms of raw psychic power he's still well below Jean and Maddie. By the sequel, he's on the borderline of this and Person of Mass Destruction. The Olympian Pantheon is mentioned, with examples including Hera, Athena, Hercules (who, like his comics counterpart, is as strong, if not stronger, than Thor) and eventually his daughter, Diana of Themyscira a.k.a. Wonder Woman — though at the start of the story she's a pre-teen... albeit one capable of pulling a One-Hit Kill on a kind of monster that had previously survived a pin-point orbital bombardment, being rammed against the edge of a crater by the Tumbler, a jet-powered tank, demolition charges from the same, and then most of the electricity of a major metropolitan area being channelled into its exposed innards to kill. The Hulk qualifies as this, being the only person bar Odin capable of restraining Thor in full berserker mode. Of the Avengers' off-screen previous enemies, Count Nefaria qualifies, as does the Juggernaut, who appears in the sequel, fighting evenly with Thor. Then he made Thor mad. Cue Unstoppable Rage. Gravemoss, technically. Like the Enchantress in the comics, he's pretty weak in the higher realms, like Asgard, but on Earth, he's an incredibly fast killing machine who can rip through concrete with his bare hands. Wanda and Doctor Strange arguably reach this level, with Wanda capable of dropping meteors on people's heads with pin point precision and Doctor Strange challenging the entire White Council to a duel. That's a couple of thousand Persons of Mass Destruction, a few of whom reach the edge of this weight class. And they backed down. While a lot of this is his reputation, and the sequel indicates that his natural power level is Person of Mass Destruction level and that he's actually weaker than Wanda, his sheer precision and creativity mean that he approaches this level — he's the Sorcerer Supreme, and fights and/or manipulates Eldritch Abominations for a living. And if he needs more power, he can get it — this is the man who steals the Tesseract from Asgardian maximum security when he's bored. Essentially, he and Wanda are both in between Person of Mass Destruction and Physical God status, but Stephen is a few steps below Wanda. Omega Class mutants, though rare, fit this criteria — the above mentioned Wanda, her father Magneto and eventually, Jean Grey and Maddie Pryor. Alan Scott as the Green Lantern, who is mentioned as having been SHIELD's countermeasure against Magneto (though without the ring, he was "only" a Badass Normal). When the full potential power of the Lantern is revealed in Unfinished Business, it's stated to be the sort of power that creates pantheons - and it lives up to the billing. Dracula, King of the Grey Court, who barely lost a fight to Thor centuries ago, then promptly hunted down and killed another Physical God, Perun, the Slavic God of Thunder, just to prove he hadn't gone soft. He demonstrates his power by swatting Voldemort like a bug, and beating Harry to a pulp twice, the first time while simultaneously reflecting a psychic attack from a Cerebro-amped Charles Xavier. Merlin is later confirmed to be on this level, with Strange himself stating that as far as magical practitioners go, "Merlin was and remains on another level entirely." Nimue, after she takes control of the full power of Project Pegasus, turning her into a Dark Lantern. Given that she's an ancient and seriously powerful Person of Mass Destruction to begin with, this is... alarming. |

The Moonstone Cup: There's a small number of very ancient, very powerful beings who rule over nations of regular mortals and view themselves as deities with little hyperbole. In addition to Celestia and Luna, these include their "cousin" Najstariot, the dragon queen, and the huge wolf Amarok, who rules over lesser wolves and commands the magic and spirits of the cold north. | |

Pilots: The ADPs are once referred to as gods tongue-in-cheek by the narrator, and in some meaningful senses they are. An interesting treatment, in that their sole power is a variant of teleportation, which is taken to its logical conclusion. | |

In the Grand Finale, Ben possesses the powers of the Ultimatrix, Ascalon, and Dagon. Vilgax tries to corrupt him into becoming a universe-conquering tyrant by pointing out that Ben could do anything, and fix everything with that much power at his fingertips. Ultimately, Ben's girlfriend Julie convinces him not to abuse the power. Ben only uses his powers to restore Earth's population back to normal before relinquishing them to Azmuth. | |

TRON: Legacy: Kevin Flynn isn't quite omnipotent, but he is the Creator of the current iteration of the Grid, and he can also not quite reshape, but bend reality around him. Also in TRON, to a lesser degree. He was able to activate things no mere program should be able to activate (like a junked Recognizer) and was able to shield Yori from being derezzed. (It is also implied but never confirmed that Flynn himself cannot actually be derezzed, having survived with no lasting harm more than one event that would derez any normal program.) | |

Nasuverse has several examples: The earliest examples came from Angel Notes, the TYPES. Eldritch Abominations that overwrite the rules of reality around them and substitute their own just by existing, and is therefore extremely difficult to even damage, let alone kill. Even if their bodies are destroyed, they still exist and are able to reform their physical bodies, since they are just physical incarnations of the Ultimate Ones. They don't really contribute much to the plot before Angel Notes (where they came to Earth to destroy humanity), although TYPE-Moon was very active in the backstory of Tsukihime. Due to an Ultimate One's (Gaia) death in Angel Notes, it releases a substance called "Grain". It makes the entire humanity become very close to this trope, powerful beings equivalent to walking nukes. However, the World's Strongest Man, Ado Edem, is this trope personified, he gains the ability called "Slash Emperor" which creates a titanic sword that can cut through realities like a hot knife through a butter. With that, he can one-shot the aforementioned TYPES, although he doesn't seem to be able to kill them permanently. Some of the True Ancestors could qualify, as all of them are copies of TYPE-Moon. In particular, Arcueid Brunestud, whom the TYPE-Moon often possesses on occasion, takes the cake. She can manipulate probabilities with her Marble Phantasm, can recover after being killed Deader than Dead, and in her ARCHETYPE-Earth form, she has no concept of death, similar to the TYPES themselves. The beings listed in the Dead Apostle Ancestors list, which lists 27 most dangerous beings to humanity. The ones at the top 5 ranks qualify, given that TYPE-Moon himself is only a rank 3 at the list. The rank 5, ORT, is actually TYPE-Mercury, who is, according to the Word Of God, the strongest being in the planet (before the time of Angel Notes). ORT is only listed here because the previous holder of rank 5 was killed for disturbing its sleep. Rank 4, is a practitioner of True Magic, Zelretch. He manages to beat TYPE-Moon once (by dropping a copy of Moon on it, by the way) although that was only possible because he took it by surprise. Rank 2 is said to be amalgamation of 6 extraordinarily powerful mages who become vampires and fuse themselves, known as "Six Royalties of the Dark". Rank 1, however, is hold by a very powerful Beast of Gaia called Primate Murder, who, is a spiritual wolf capable of killing millions of humans with a thought. It takes seven Counter Guardians just to hold it back. The only reason it hasn't rampaged yet is because it is subservient and is owned by the rank 9 of the list, Altrouge Brunestud (Arcueid's "sister"). The various gods and demigods from the Age of the Gods era fits the description. In fact, the "physical" is an important distinction between "true" gods and "mere" Divine Spirits, the latter of which is what happens when a god's physical body is somehow destroyed but their essence lingers on and requires belief in order to maintain ties to the world. The various demigods who become heroes can be resurrected as Servants though, and therefore still qualify for this trope, with Gilgamesh and Karna being the biggest examples. However, the former fits the trope better due to gaining a physical body at the end of Fate/Zero, because of the Grail's corrupted mud. Then there is Ryougi Shiki's third personality, also known as the Origin of the Void. It possess a very deep connection to the Akasha, the origin of everything itself, and was thought to be omnipotent — until Word Of God states that she is still below Arcueid's Archetype Earth form in terms of power level. |

Kamen Rider Gaim revolves around the pursuit of godlike power, and ends with Kouta and Mai succeeding and ascending to godhood. We don't see much of what their limits are, but we know they have some: Mai time-travels and finds her actions restrained and unable to change the past Because Destiny Says So — but that doesn't take away from the fact that she can will herself through time to begin with. | |

The Infinite Loops: Most loopers past a certain threshold probably qualify, but the trophy has to go to the original seven. They've been looping for so long that they're all literally older than time in any given iteration of the universe, (Ichigo said that he once stuck around until the entire universe burned out), and Ranma in particular, being the oldest, is so powerful that he can collect Death Stars. Any one of them could ascend to true godhood by flexing, if the urge struck them, and they're generally regarded as the most powerful beings in the multiverse. | |

In The Bridge, the Nexuses of Magic are this in spades, the God of Extinction from Terra, Bagan, and Nexus of Light Magic, Harmony. Both are described as gods and are the only known beings who could fight the other one on one. It's noted even Grand King Ghidorah, one of the strongest kaiju in existence, fighting either of them alone would be suicide. Grogar, the Nexus of Dark Magic, is stated to be on the same tier as Harmony could only just barely defeat him. | |

The God Squad is built around this idea. Celestia, Luna, Discord, Chrysalis, Tydal, and Cadence are all literal gods who are forced to keep almost all their power in check, lest they destroy the universe. Their normal bodies (which are nearly impossible to hurt and filled with more power than any mortal in the world) are merely 1%. At 10% we get Nightmare Moon territory, at 15% we have Discord, and Tydal has managed to go to 40% (turning him into a cross between a Kaiju and a weapon of mass destruction). Celestia has stated that their true forms are so large the planet would be a grain of dust to them. | |

The Immortal Game: Princesses Celestia and Luna, of course, as per canon, but the story also adds their equally strong brother Prince Empyrean, and their even more powerful parents King Titan and Queen Terra. And then, near the end of the story, Twilight taps into the full power of the Elements of Harmony and becomes so powerful that only Titan himself is able beat her in a fight. And then, during the climax, she absorbs the powers of Harmony and becomes an alicorn who is Titan's equal. Of all ponies, Fluttershy becomes one during the Battle of the Everfree. And she does so in epic fashion — she uses something equal to the Royal Canterlot Voice to browbeat the most ancient of all dragons into switching sides, then rides him as her personal steed in the story's most impressive Big Damn Heroes moment. |

The Original Thirteen Transformers could count here. Prima, Vector Prime, Nexus Prime, Megatronus (The Fallen), Alpha Trion, Solus Prime, Liege Maximo, Micronus Prime, Onyx Prime, Amalgamous Prime, Alchemist Prime, Quintus Prime and the Thirteenth Prime Optimus Prime. Each of them has some kind of god-like power.

Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as the better-behaved rest of the Q Continuum. It's unsure just what Q's limits are. He does enjoy pushing humans' buttons by acting like a god, in any case (including in "Tapestry" when Picard dies and Q literally appears to him as "God"). In the episode "Hide and Q", Q gives such powers to Riker. Some think Trelane is a Q, too. (In the novel Q-Squared, he is, and Q has to deal with him.) | |
