== Gods of gods ==
=== [[Comic Books]] ===
* The [[Marvel Universe]] has the [http://marvel.wikia.com/One-Above-All_(Multiverse) One Above All]. It's above every other [[Cosmic Being]] and [[Physical God|god-like]] creature in the setting. [[Meaningful Name|Of course]]. Whether he is YHVH or [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]] themselves(as they were the writer and artist of [[Fantastic Four]], the comic series said to start a proper Marvel Universe) depends on the writer. Not surprisingly, Lee and Kirby favoured YHVH, not only to be humble but because of their open belief in a monotheistic God. There is also a third, less popular interpretation that One-Above-All is every Marvel writer, as the power of the [[Creator]] (of comics) incarnated.
* The [[DC Universe]] follows a similar route with the Presence.
* In the [[Marvel Universe]] some particularly powerful demons and magical entities are worshipped as gods, or even God, by other beings who are themselves worshipped as deities and have the power to back it up. Shuma-Gorath, for instance, has relied on numerous gods and demons to do its bidding and has a massive power difference to back it up. Mephisto and Sataanish, demons who in their own realms are nigh-omnipotent, are said to be like "mice in a great temple" compared to even one of Shuma-Gorath's ''weaker'' forms. It is the ruler of literaly hundreds of universes and worshipped in thousands more, so the fact that it is a [[God of Evil]] makes its power particularly worrying.
