Whether genuine gods or just godlike , here are five laughable book fictional character that it ’s probably better not to get on the bad side of . And if you ’d wish to hero-worship them , that might help , too .
laughable books are full of men and charwoman with astonishing superpowers and uncanny ability , but what about those even more powerful ? Take a look at some of our favorite cosmic entities , quasi - deities , and a yoke who just ought to be :
1 . Darkseid ( DC Comics )
Okay , so maybe his debut appearance was in Superman ’s Pal Jimmy Olsen ( not on the nose the most impressive of origins ) , but he ’s fare a long room since then . Once the 2nd in line to rule dystopian torture - satellite Apokolips , Darkseid is now jolly much formally the most potent of the New Gods – and , in the late Final Crisis , someone who managed to destroy world as we know it . Not only ridiculously secure and annoyingly indestructible , he ’s also telekinetic , telepathic , and a pretty darn impressive military strategian . ( He also no longer looks like Jack Palance , who was said to be the original inspiration for his appearance . This is only debatably an improvement . )
2 . Revelation of Saint John the Divine ( Marvel Comics )
As if just being called Apocalypse is n’t enough , this Egyptian science geek has a list of mightiness longer than he rightfully ought to ( care shapeshifting , teleportation and impregnability ) . Not to mention the immortality . And technology from onetime Godhead of humanity , the robotlike Celestials . And the intelligence and wisdom that you ca n’t assist but gain from being over 5000 year old . Maybe you could attempt to claim that he is n’t exactly a “ cosmic entity , ” but I would n’t say that to his face . ( Besides , his name is Apocalypse . So . Hardcore . )
3 . Lodovica ( Sky Doll , Soliel Productions )
Lodovica is the leader of one of the two war pontificate in this very strange ( yet strangely beautiful ) comic , which has been released in English rendering by Marvel . According to Wikipedia , she ’s :
The power - mad ruler who endeavour to keep the faith of the populace through any means possible , whether by creating the illusion of divine power or by cark them with the porn of the Sky Dolls .
Hey , when you ’re the pope ( or papess ) of your own faith whose independent arm are false divinity fudge and unhinge pornography , you ’re not doing too bad . And even if you are n’t technically divine , if you may convince everyone you ’re a deity , you ’re close enough .
4 . God ( Battle Pope , Image Comics )
First off , there ’s no denying God his divinity status ; he ’s kind of the guy that invented it . Set in after the Final Judgement , animation is literally Hell on Earth , and all God ’s really got to protect us from the devil hordes is the Pope , a cigar - smoking womanizer . God himself , however , is delightfully sardonic and has a seemingly endless flux face fungus . He also is n’t afraid to get into a cosmic smackdown with the Pope if he feels the need , and seriously ? That ’s pretty amazing . Plus , God can pull out the whole deus ex machina act and get away with it . And he does n’t even postulate the machina . ( Additionally , Jesus is an endearing slacker character to the point where you almost require him to take up bowling and stock around some Creedence tapes . )
5 . Mr. Mxyzptlk ( DC Comics )
certain , all these guy have nigh - unlimited power , but Mxyzptlk here is the only who seems to have so much play with his . Call him what you will – jester , imp , trickster – but this bowler hat - hatted fellow from the fifth attribute has a glob mess with our humans here in the third property , especially at the disbursement of poor Superman . His power is basically unlimited and essentially ( but not technically ) wizard , and the only fashion to ( temporarily ) commit him back home is to trick him into say his name backwards . Lucky for us , we ’re just his playground .
Runner - Up : Lobo ( DC Comics )
Okay , Lobo ’s no deity or great cosmic entity , but he ’d likely wish to cerebrate he is . Besides , he ’d correspond pretty well into a bunch of Norse myths , what with the killing and the furiousness and the dismemberment and all . More than that , however , he became an Archbishop of First Celestial Church of the Triple - Fish God , where he wears an awesome get - up and hangs out with space dolphins . Of course , he killed the fish god , so he essentially wins all around .
