In a setting with a few or more [[Our Gods Are Greater|gods]], there is often one who stands above all the others. This god is usually one of the following:
* '''King of the Gods:''' Not that different from the rest of the gods, but he tends to have the benefits of [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] in full effect. He's often applicable to [[You Kill It, You Bought It]] if someone challenges his title. See [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Gods:King of the Gods|this]] article on [[Wikipedia]] for more info on these types.
* '''God of Gods:''' This version is as far beyond the other gods as they are beyond [[Puny Earthlings|mortals]]. He is often a stand-in for the Abrahamic [[God]], or at least a [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]] [[Expy]]. Rarely do the "lesser" gods worship this being, although they may. It depends on the work in question. It's called [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Henotheism |Henotheism]] in [[Real Life]].
 
Sometimes, there may be both types in the same setting. In that case, the one (or several, if there are multiple pantheons) King of the Gods is still below the God of Gods. Examples should go to the mixed section if both types are present in the work in question.
