Eh, being the actual writer of the story in a very real/literal sense..?
As much as I love Mxy, he's still a character in a comic book. As such, he is obviously below the embodiments of DC's real-world writers/editorial staff(which is what Morrison's avatar represented in that issue.)

I don't think carver even needs to seen rage to win here, tbh. As long as he gets his standard equipment, Morrison dies a horrible death. It's a well known fact that carver wields the absolute best and most state of the art tech.
Morrison has no counter for Samsung, IMO.

*For all intents and purposes, that character was Morrison.
The Suicide Squad issue you referenced, however, was written by Ostrander, and the character was clearly put there just to mock Morrison's original intent(he even says as much), and was no longer written to be the Supreme Being.
That said, you intended the version from Animal Man to be in this thread, therefore he is as Supreme as it can possibly get.

Given that the primal monitor represents the canvas DC comics are written on IIRC, one would imagine the writer, as the one writing it on it, would stand over the Primal Monitor as the most supreme, no? How the Presence compares to the Primal Monitor I'm not certain of.
I'd imagine Presence is within the Primal Monitor, and therefore part of it, and beneath. Much like the other Monitors.
It's possible Presence created the Primal Monitor on his way to creating the DCU, but that doesn't make much sense, and contradicts the creation stories we've been told.

The way I see it, there is a difference between the in-universe "Presence/God" and the "Supreme Being".
The Presence/God is typically defined as all-powerful within DC, and is usually the being that was responsible for spawning DC creation from an in-universe POV...He's taken many forms, but it's all the same being: https://i.imgur.com/iZLi4KC.jpg
...But in the end he is obviously still a comic book character who is subject to the whims of his RW writers.
Flip side, the "Supreme Being" is typically the representation of DC's real-world writers/editorial staff, and as such they are as powerful as it can possibly get in a comic book... They literally create the stories/characters we are reading: https://i.imgur.com/Qel3cVK.jpg
That being said, the Overvoid acts not only as the canvas onto which comic books are printed, but also as the medium through which we in the real world can 'interact' with comic books... And I believe the Supreme Being gives the Presence the power/authority to create within the Overvoid, but the Overvoid isn't necessarily aware that this is happening. Subsequently, that would mean the Supreme Being is above the Overvoid as well... It's still a concept within a comic book, after all.
