He's basically the Judeo-Christian God represented in the DC realm.
Marvel also has Yahweh/Michael/Lucifer Morningstar and company, big deal.
Yea, Yahweh represents the Judeo-Christian God of the real world in Marvel too:
(Marvel's far more accurate portraying the original story than Vertigo or DC)
yawn
Yahweh & Lucifer, including Michael & all of heaven would get stomped by Eternity.
In fact, they would all get stomped by any entity from the cosmic hierarchy.
(don't get me started on who else would stomp them)
So who cares what they're supposed to represent,
they're power & significance is at the whim of some human writer,
just like in Marvel they may represent "GOD of the the real world"
but the human writer decided to make characters far more powerful than them.
To me,
the Presence is a character from DC they have made the Supreme being, nothing more.
Originally posted by Allankles In DC there's no image to represent the Presence because he's formless omnipotent and omnipresent.
A formless, all encompassing entity
The Heart of the Infinite is also formless Omnipotent and Omnipresent.
A formless, all powerful source of energy.
Please, don't fallaciously claim again, it's an artifact.
THOTI was not created in this arc, THOTI has always been in existence per it's back story.

😆 ... seriously though, this
is a joke right?
Originally posted by Allankles HOTI is just an artifact created by TOAA,
the writer and supreme authority in the Marvel U.
THOTI is not an artifact, how many times have you been told?
So TOAA,
is the supreme authority because they're the writers/artists of Marvel comics.
But the Presence,
who is just some character created by DC writers/artists,
is some how equal to TOAA?
Oh right, I forgot, the Presence is above DC writers/artists & Marvel's for that matter,
cause as you said when you updated our ignorance,
the Presence was ... what was that insane comment again?
Oh yea ..
"Presence is an idea
born before any writer in DC put pencil to paper to introduce him in DC fiction."
I disagree.
The Presence, and everything that's involved in DC stories,
is an idea born from DC's human writers, (yes, humans like you & I) nothing more.
Originally posted by Allankles You just don't get it do you? The Presence is a permanent ever present fixture in the DCU, in that ficitonal universe he was there at the beginning and will always be there, he's the representation of the real world God in DCU. His power can't be taken away and he can't stop becoming God, because that's what he's always been.
And?
How does that make the Presence anymore of a Supreme being than Thanos/HOTI?
There are several Marvel characters that were:
"there at the beginning and will always be there"
As for:
"the representation of the real world God"
And?
Marvel has Yahweh and everything related to real world religions too ... and?
Yes, same GOD, same story:
"he can't stop becoming God, because that's what he's always been"
And?
And Yahweh and all of heaven and hell would get stomped by Kubik,
to name one who would wipe his ass with all them, of the many that could.
