It's too bad nobody's pushing this down the religious lines you were hoping for
But I'll play along with the thread.
In terms of popularity, TOAA wins by virtue of Marvel having a bigger share of the comic book, movie, and merchandising scene. Which is to say that Marvel has more fans. This has been the case for many years, and is highly unlikely to change in the near future. Marvel's success with films is quite apparent, while DC has really only had success with one franchise recently (Batman) and relatively smaller success with a lot of small titles (Watchmen and the like).
The future of the comics industry is headed towards film (as evidenced by the hundreds of millions to near billion dollar revenue every film brings in), and Marvel's raking in both the cash and the fans.

Re: Re: One Above All vs. The presence
so money is everything? there's probably more poor people in the world than fortunate, and superman is global...even hungry kids in third world countries know about boy blue
Yes, you are. Because I like to think we don't defend Marvel/DC because they're Marvel/DC, but because there're actual facts to back up the reasonings. To do so without evidence, is being a fanboy.
We're talking about companies as a whole, not individual characters/titles. Superman and Batman are more popular and well known than just about any other comic book characters worldwide, but they don't make up for the void left by their peers.
Marvel sells more comic books issues than DC.
Marvel sells more movie tickets than DC.
Marvel sells more action figures and merchandise than DC.
In terms of numbers and dollars, Marvel's ahead on every count.

not bait I have a sense of humor am not so serious but it was an example to give an idea of the stipulation. not to argue but whether you like it or not it's true jesus is more popular than said mentions as he is more widely known and the new testament is distributed widley he is even more known than jehova from o.t. smh and according to some it's the same person. some ppl held beatles as gods even john lennon joked at the time they were more popular than jesus. tupac believe it or not by some cultist is revered as a god and that he imaged himself as a messiah agaisn't illumanite even his 7 day theory album confirms this but thats another story.

you "experts" and this omnipotent thing crack me up. and you've got some nerve accusing me of trying to bait you. since you want to take it there, here you go...
if anything, i'm trying to get you to realize that nobody in creation is omnipotent. this thread proves that. omnipotent means all everything -- most powerful, most popular. for two beings to be comparable in any aspect goes against their omnipotence.
Except we have already moved on from that, and said that TOAA wins. So....please stay on topic :-) if you find it difficult to argue for the Presence, you could always leave the thread and leave us 'experts' to it....
Nobody has claimed any comic book character to the omnipotent in the real world, so get off your high horse.
These characters exist in a fictional setting, and that's the only setting they're used/compared in. Your failure to comprehend the usage of the word "omnipotent" in this context is nobody's problem but your own.

it's not concrete that TOAA wins. and it's funny, I like TOAA more but a disagree that he's more popular. For some threads to emphasize on his omnipotence just for a victory, this is the same scenario only with money. Just because people agree with you for a few posts doesn't solidify a victory.....
Presence accounts for a being "modeled after" JD God. Christianity is one of the biggest influences in the world, not...Marvel fans
