Then, by your logic, The Presence isn't absolutely omnipotent, either. Because there is an Ultimate Light. And do you know what ultimate means? There can't be two ultimates.
So if GEB wasn't battling The Presence, The Presence doesn't have absolute omnipotence either.
I can play word games, too.

Number two. The Ultimate Light and the GEB were both aspects of something greater.
Originally posted by AllanklesNice scans but the word omnipotent is getting thrown around a lot.
Originally posted by AllanklesIf we want to talk about true omnipotence
then we're talking about the supreme god of the Marvel U and that's TOAA.
In Marvel Comics, there are levels of Infinity: (omnipotence specifically)
Again, TOAA draws Supreme beings into existence,
being the Supreme being of the Marvel Universe means nothing to TOAA,
because it's TOAA that creates all that.
Originally posted by AllanklesIf this Supreme being has a rival in HOTI then he can't truly be absolutely omnipotent as such a rivalry goes against the idea of absolute omnipotence. That an artifact outside of himself can contend with his power means that he isn't trully omniscient.
Originally posted by AllanklesThe Presence has no such problems, with artifacts or with other entities.
He is the alpha and the omega, first and last, no power can contend with him in the DCU.
Also, THOTI had no problems, with artifacts or with other entities.
Originally posted by AllanklesHow can THOTI be what God is?
I'm only conveying what Marvel Comics has depicted and confirmed in their Handbooks.
Originally posted by AllanklesGiven that in essence it's just an artifact?
Originally posted by AllanklesSo you're saying the LT is the one that occupies God's position within Marvel every other time?
There has been an anomaly or two that has appeared on panel as being able to challenge the LT,
one of them was in the Future, so that doesn't count, and the other is THOTI, and it doesn't exist.
So yea, currently and for ever now in continuity, the LT is the top dog,
at-least until the 31st century.

I see, so it's only properly used when referring to DC's world.
It doesn't get thrown around so easily in DC. You only need a dictionary to know that using the word omnipotence for LT and the like isn't correct.

Ok. So what does HOTI have to do with being the Supreme being in the MU? So TOAA (who's influence is mentioned in universe) created HOTI? Which means as far the MU is concerned he's the Supreme Authority. Of course this wouldn't matter if the TOAA wasn't in-universe.

Here's Thanos' 2008 bio: (at the bottom)
Excerpt from Thanos' own Bio:
http://www.marvel.com/universe/Thanos
" ... Known as the Heart of the Universe,
from which all energy physical and metaphysical emanates,
and thereby gained infinite power ...
... Thanos decided that the true sign of his ultimate power,
would be to destroy the universe
and become the One true Supreme Being ... "
..........................................................................
=========== SUPREME BEING =============
..........................................................................
And GOD!
.................................................................................
Official Marvel Handbook as well:
"Thanos eradicated the Order, they ... Pronounced him GOD" ...
.............................................................................
=========== GOD =============
.............................................................................
......................................................................................
King Thor agrees that Thanos does in fact possess "The Supreme Power" ...
"Thanos has usurped the Power Supreme,
and now reigns over All Reality"
......................................................................................
So did Eternity:
"Relinquish the Supreme Power you have stolen"
......................................................................................
......................................................................................
I'd like to know something though,
what do you make of this?
......................................................................................
(excerpt from the official Marvel Handbook 2006 - LT - bio)
"The Living Tribunal's ONLY superior is TOAA"
......................................................................................
Logic dictates that ONLY TOAA or a power = to or superior could defeat the LT:
LT gets stomped!
......................................................................................
We know Thanos has "someone's" power,
there's no denying that, I'm sure you'll agree.
And if according to Marvel,
the ONLY power above the Living Tribunal's is TOAA's,
who's power do you believe Thanos has?
..................................................................................................
The rest of this evidence below,
simply solidifies the scans right above:
..................................................................................................
Thanos says:
"Eternity, you must sense that Everything the Almighty was I now am,
did you ever dare demand anything from Him"
Eternity responds,
"No, but" .... (Eternity is actually acknowledging that Thanos speaks the truth)
..................................................................................................
"And I, like He was, am now the Author of All That Will Be ...
my Will is Supreme"
noneyes
.............................................................................
THOTI is:
"The Source from which all other power throughout Time & Space springs"
.............................................................................
It made Thanos "SUPREME"
.............................................................................
It made Thanos Everything ... of All things in the Marvel Omniverse:
................................................................................
"How dare these cretins defy their Supreme Being?
Was I not Now the End-All and Be-All of Reality?
Their very existence was by My Whim"
...............................................................................
Indeed!
"I was Everything ... bonded to Omni-Reality" (the ENTIRE Marvel Universe)

I appreciate the scans, but I'm talking about the TOAA's influence in universe. If he influenced and is referenced in universe then it is he who is the Supreme Authority. Much as the Presence is the Supreme Authority in the DCU. TOAA in the MU brought forth HOTI, so he's the supreme authority in MU (as I think you stated).

But who brought HOTI into existence? The TOAA right? The same thing the Presence does, of course he hasn't created things like HOTI in the DCU only the Source (which is the universal expression of energy in the dcu).

And who was responsible for HOTI? It was just an artifact, it didn't just come into existence in-universe by itself.

Doesn't say so.

As if the Presence is a drawing, or idea that speaks for itself. 😂
No, the Presence,
and everything else withIN that company is subject to the whims of writers/artists.
Originally posted by fangirl101Since only that only the TOAA or his power can defeat the Lt,
then how come Proteus was able to over ride him? proteus is God?
In the current Marvel Universe, the LT is second to TOAA.

You can't make the comparison since TOAA is a presence within MU. He is a fixture of the MU as the Presence is with the DCU. In the DCU the Presence is the Supreme authority, the writer isn't a fixture or presence within the DCU which means the Presence occupies that role without the out-of-universe connotations.

Which again means that TOAA is the Supreme Authority in the MU.
