Playing god

if anyhthing only a major prick entity would do such a thing and subscribe to such a method 😗

IMO Darkseid would fit the mold of Old Testament God perfectly.

But why isn't Highfather on this list? IMO of all comic book characters he's the closest in personality and conception to the Christian God and he'd have the power to back up his claims.

Sounds like a nerve being struck.

Do you go with the father or son...
The son was a healer, turned water to wine... His feats are nothing more than Thor could do...

And even if you were going with the father... Unleashing death with plagues etc is not much of a feat compared to Odin's best feats...

And hyperbole... Everyone claims to be all powerful... Ie thanos with the cosmic cube, ig, thoti...

Eternity in marvel is the representation of everything... Since he knows and sees all of time and space...yet... Has some kinda crappy feats and seems to get beat up easily...

didn't like hewhoknowsalls response... If the idea is to say who could best pretend to be the Christian god.... Then go off feats... What has god done...

Sorry if I offended you...

But I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Well, God did create the entire universe. That's something.

Anywho. This is getting on to religion bashing. There are certain times and places where religion are meant to be discussed(or attacked), but a mild-mannered comic versus forum should not be one of them.

Ghost Rider vs Spawn. 😱 Who wins!?

Any of them could do it for the first two. You'd have to get to Odin or higher for the third though.

You stated the bible states god is all powerful all seeing... Etc... But a lot of religions have the first god that creates the universe

You are supposed to get people to believe your god... What are you gonna do... Create another universe in front of them

gods feats like parting seas and rains of fire can be done by Odin...

So why do you accept that one and not that one that says God created the universe etc?

Because no human could perceive the creation of an entire universe.

Yhey would probably ask for you to heal someone that was dead or near death... Like asking Odin to return people from helas realm before...

And as far as creating a universe Odin could do Luke Thor and create a floating city out of nowhere to appease the masses.

The thread asks us to show which of the people could best be as omnipotent, etc as the christian god... But a human trying to perceive god would need very little to believe he is confronted with god

Would they have to present themselves as they are?. They can't juyst make themselves appears to be some angelic god/jessus amalgam... anyway if thats the case

Galactus - 1 maybe 2 def not 3.
Odin - think he can do it for all.
Superman - 1 maybe, people arent so bright then.
A celestial - hard for me to say.
Uatu - Passes all 3. IMO he has the capapbility and character.
Darkseid - 1
Eternity - All 3
Thanos - 1 maybe
Thanos w/IG - 1, not really capability but just don't see people accepting him as the christian gods (same with ds)
LT - All
Post Retcon Beyonder - All

if they can fly, i'm pretty sure they'd have everyone convinced...

I don't think that Superman could pass for two. People would be begging him to do stuff that Superman can't do, such as save X person from dying or eliminating all disease or stuff like that.

I'm not sure if Odin could pass for 3, they'd probably just think of him as a super advanced alien. Galactus, why maybe 1 and definitely 2? Probably 1 I'd say, but for 2 his looks would make him be conceived as a super advanced alien (which he really is...), and people would eventually wonder why he leaves every month or so.

That's a misconception, people never get any smarter or dumber its just our ability to understand reality has gotten better over time. A medieval person sees Superman's heat vision and he's thinking divine powers but we see it and say "lasers" for all we know Superman really does have divine powers but our different way of perceiving reality will cause us to assume a scientific explanation.
If it turns out we can't scientifically disprove Superman's powers then I could see people converting to worshiping him in droves because once science fails us we have to fall back to faith.

People do get smarter "our ability to understand reality has gotten better over time" that's an elaborate way of saying it but essentially the same. A child learning is him exploring his reality/world and learning is the same thing the human race has been doing but at a higher level. We discover things and see how they work. We build upon that so yes Humans have gotten smarter since the medieval. Ppl did some seriously ****ed up shit just to cook, get better from sickness, and other fairly basic thing that they did totally backwards.

IMO if supes showed up now and if there were no comics books or something. I would take him as some alien or robot. I mean I think the basic things for me to believe somone is godlike. Is the fact a god should already know what you are thinking, about to do, when you do it all the time like serious omnipotent power and crazy ass reality/matter manipulation. .

Whoever has Omega Telepathy makes all three.

Epic Fail for Superman in all 3.
Those Medieval mother****ers will go old school on his ass and put a hex on him

1. medieval Europe
2. modern America
3. Star Wars

Galactus = Handles all Three if he wants.
Odin = Handles all Three, better then Galactus imo, simply Because the God thing is more his kind of thing.
Superman = 1 sure, 2 possible but unlikely, 3 no way
A celestial = Could handle all Three but I doubt it.
Utah = Pulls it off all three with a little more difficult then Odin. The none interfere act might make it hard for him to show himself as God.
Darkseid = Wouldn't in any way be consideret God more the Devil, in pretty much all scenarios.
Eternity = Handles all Three Easily.
Thanos = Can handle 1 easily, I doubt 2 actually, 3 no way.
Thanos w/IG = If he plays his cards right, he clears easily imo.
LT = No Problem here at all.
Post Retcon Beyonder = No idea.

Thanos comes to earth proclaiming himself the one true god... He states his son the king of pop had come before him.... And died for our sins and ignorance... Thanos wears the one gauntlet of power Hence why Michael jackson used to wear only one glove.

celestials fail horribly . how is a 10,000 ft celestial going to even notice a 6ft human???
