Presence can erase him because he created him, the same way Lord Thor could undo the Asgardian Destroyer.
Not a perfect 1 for 1 example, but Presence himself did make the claim himself that he gave Michael power that was like an endless ocean.
It could be equally true that Michael can match Presence in raw big bang output, while still being < overall.
Originally posted by Mr MasterNo, Michael literally possessed the Demiurgic power -God's raw power- in its totality -- this was stated/reiterated several times throughout the series. More importantly, this fact was also shown when Lucifer used said power to create his own totality ex nihilo, and again when Michael himself used it to renew Yahweh's entire creation atom by atom. Heck, it was also stated more than once in the series that Lucifer/Michael originally created Yahweh's cosmos(that's the purpose Yahweh fashioned them for in the first place.) So yeah... /shrug
Michael does not equate to the power of the Presence, since the Presence can erase him with a thought.
So, that's good ol' fashion hyperbole.
Michael would be destroyed by the Presence because he lacked the other qualities that make one a 'true' supreme being; such as infinite will(of which Lucifer was endowed with), etc. As I have said in the past: raw power alone does not make one equal to God.

Shame too. I liked a lot of Starlin's DC work. He shed some light on lesser-used characters like The Weird and Adam Strange. He's also responsible for making Adam Warlock one of my favorite characters ever. Nobody wrote Warlock the same after that.
Originally posted by Galan007God already stated how he would unmake creation, including Michael/Lucifer - from the beginning. It would be as though creation/Michael had never been created. That's a power beyond raw energies, which is what Michael is.

Or Thanos. I liked Giffen's writing, but even he wasn't really the same.
And Secret War was just painful. Suicide by Doom maybe, but still, he ended up looking like a brain damaged clone..

Agreed. I re-read Infinity Gauntlet recently. To see Thanos more recently compared to that is...disappointing.
