Has anyone heard/seen gods reference the Presence or TOAA at all in your readings? I guess what I'm getting at is, has anyone ever heard someone like Odin or Zues acknowledge the more poweful, higher, God?

Symmetric Chaos
The LT and Spectre are the only ones I know of who aknowledge an absolute supreme creature (LordAo too but I don't know if it happened in the comic series)

Galan007
Not only has God been referenced in comics, but he has been shown/depicted as well...

this doesn't seem to be about whether god, in the biblical sense, exists, but rather whether gods, in the mythological sense, recognize his existence.

The mythic gods seem to be aware of Abstracts but I don't think any of them have talked about supreme beings.

The Endless mention powers "above themselves" that they don't like to talk about, which could be a reference to the Presence. And when the Spectre goes searching for God, Zeus and Ares both acknoweldge that a greater god than them exists. uhhh.... and also in Lucifer, the Chinese Gods recognize the Presence.

"The Living Tribunal is said his Power is Supreme in ALL the Multiverse"

Even I, the Son of the mighiest of gods of all,
find it impossible to conceive of such levels of power"

how much greater still
the power of the Creator of all Universes
must be than that of all of his creations combined"

Wait I don't get it, was the Living Tribunal just stated to be supreme?

Explanation of infinite power would belong here I think.

If you go by non canon Amalgam, the supreme God's of all creation (Both Marvel and DC) are the pre-retconned Brothers.

After all while The-One-Above-All is represented by one editor/writer, one Brother was represented by the entire working staff.

He could easily be talking about Gimili which is a heaven above even Asgard that appears in Norse myth.

Presence: True, I'm inifnite and eternal but even I was shaped by forces external to me. You know what they are.

It seems like you're overlooking the inner depht

That was Vertigo's God, , not the Presence from the mainstream DCU. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Since he's not usually referred to as such in the Vertigo titles, I'm sure you can see how someone might assume you were talking about the Presence from the mainstream DCU. doped

Yahweh in Vertigo, and the Presence in DC are 2 separate entities, . roll eyes (sarcastic)


DC's Presence and Marvel's TOAA is who this thread is mainly dedicated to.

Thanos_THOTU
Yes, but you said that he'd never been refered to as Presence, obviously you were mistaken.

I just think it's amusing that you of all people would talk about someone else being mistaken, lol.



Anyhow,

This has gone way off topic.
