If so, they're equal to the Presence right?
How did the Word defeat beings that can grant others the power of God?
ST was not equal to the Presence, and neither were the elemental parliments. There is only, and can only, be one omnipotent. Others can come close, but never match. If the Elemental Parliments were equal to the Presence, then an aspect of the Presence wouldn't have been able to win.
But don't take that to mean top tiers aren't still powerful in their own right.

Also, since they gave Swamp Thing a power equal to,
this means ST is also = to the Presence right?
No.

How many characters exactly are = to the Presence over at DC?
One to two, perhaps. Elaine at the end of the Lucifer run after God decided to leave creation. Then Primal Monitor is an obvious grey area. There's been a million theories floated around, from the PM being greater than the Presence to the PM being the Presence:
The Presence/God = The Presence to humans
The Source = The Presence to the New Gods
The Primal Monitor = The Presence to the Monitors
All the theories have holes. There's evidence for and against. DC's always been vague on the subject (on purpose, IMO).

Wait, and Primal Monitor is above all this, including the Presence? Maybe, maybe not. It's not meant to be clear.

But they're also Mxy, who destroyed the "whole" of DC,
how many Supreme Beings did he wipe out since they're are several over at DC? Mxy < The Presence. He did not wipe out any Supreme Beings.

I'm honestly not trying to be sarcastic,
I'm actually interested in the explanations to make this fit.
There are no explanations. Roll with whatever theory you like best.

Cool, so this means Parallax was also a "Supreme Being" and
Spectre proved to be above this by stomping him.
Parallax was most certainly not a Supreme Being. There are literally dozens of characters that have had the power to destroy and recreate universes. They are not Supreme. Reed was not supreme when he remade the Marvel Multiverse with the UN, was he?

Nobody?

*note* Well, at least in Marvel if you can destroy/erase All Reality and re-create/make it,
then you're/were basically a Supreme being at the time of said capability.
I would strongly disagree with this statement.

If Parallax trully destroyed "All of DC" ...
and Spectre was able to defeat him without stipulations,
then that's a feat note worthy of the LT.
First, the Spectre did not stomp him. That's a reach if I ever saw one. Second, the Spectre is a beast. He gets little credit on these boards because of low showings like DoV (which a surprising number of people believe to be his highest showing).
