Ok lets just play your game since it's obvious that you do not consider TOAA above the comic world even though you implied it on the Thanos/Beyonder vs Spectre/ Michael's thread.
First off, the Presence and GEB are not one in the same.

"This thing's been excluded from the ordered universe since its formation." Formation is a synonym for creation.
The Presence excluded the GEB ever since he created it.
Definition of supreme: above all others; highest in ranking.
Is the Presence above all others? No, he has an equal in the GEB. Highest in ranking? Technically he is tied for the top spot.
Definition of Supreme Being: God.
Definition of God: the being believed in monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity to be the all-powerful all-knowing creator of the universe, worshiped as the only god

Is the Presence any of the above? No. Hence the Presence is not a Supreme Being.
Also, you can't have two supreme beings. There can only be one.

According to your logic, Classic Beyonder was just as "supreme" as the Presence, in fact more. Unlike the Presence, Beyonder had no equal.
