I created this thread as part of a request and a sequel to the 10 Most Power Demons.. Now we focus on gods.. But first, we must establish the definition of a god in marvel standards.. Several characters in many stories have been referred to as gods.. Generally, however, only those belonging to two specific types are considered to be the "true" gods.. Note that none of these beings are divine in the commonly understood sense, but are rather simply powerful supernatural beings.. Other worlds besides Earth also have their own gods, with different origins..
Many Marvel characters has been described as gods or god-like.. Some of the examples are the Octessence.. These beings individually are powerful, but their definition and characteristics are a bit vague since these beings share characteristics with gods as well as demons.. Others include Dormammu and his sister Umar, who despite their god-like powers still doesn't fit the conventional description of a god.. The Eternals are also-god-like beings, but their point of origin does not include them in the rosters of gods..
My criteria for this list is 1.) The character must be part of a Mythology which also considers them as divine beings.. 2.) The character must have a solid or a distinct group of worshipers who view them as divine creatures.. There are tons of characters to consider and coming up with this list is really tough.. Anyways, here are the 10 Most Powerful Gods, well at-least in my opinion.. It also must be noted that these characters are based on their standard power levels with no enhancements or ret-cons, just their basic power levels as the gods in Earth's mythology..
#10 - THOR, the Asgardian God of Thunder, Master of Storm and Lord of the Living Lightning
Thor is one of Marvel's most popular character.. His power and fame is known throughout the world.. He is physically one of the most powerful beings on Earth and possibly even beyond.. His power over the elements are also second to none and has been shown to be able to stand against some of the most powerful beings in Marvel.. But despite his powers and fame, i can only give Thor the tenth spot on this list..
#09 - BAST, the Panther God/dess
Bast is believed to be extremely powerful, though he/she typically acts through surrogates or possesses and grants power to others (usually some degree of superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, etc.).. Each of the Black Panther's is connected to Bast and derives power from his/her support.. Bast typically appears most commonly as an immense black panther or a humanoid panther, and Bast has both male and female forms.. Empowered by the sun, Bast is one of the most powerful of the Ennead, possessing scales of magical power beyond human ability to fathom, overwhelming beings as great as the Shadow King and the Hell-Lord Mephisto..
As a god with vast powers and a noble spirit, bast takes the 9th place in this list..
#08. SETH, the Egyptian God of Death
Seth is often mistaken for the Elder God Set, though not as powerful as the other, Seth himself possess power than could at-least rival that of Odin.. It was said that the battle between him and Odin shook that very fabric of the multiverse.. As the god of death, Seth also possess the power over life and death.. Seth is said to be in the scale of power has been depicted as rivalling that of Odin, and possibly as capable of destroying entire galaxies..
With respectable feats that backs up his name, Seth takes the 8th place..
#07. CRONUS, King of the Titans
Cronus is the most powerful of the Titans and possesses great physical strength and the ability to wield mystic energy to a yet unidentified degree.. As such, the King ot the Titans takes the 7th spot on the list..
#06. ZEUS, God of Thunder and Lord of Olympus
Zeus is the most powerful of the Olympian gods and posseses a scale of power at-least equal to that of Odin and Dormammu.. He controls and wields the forces of the elements and is off sufficient power to destroy galaxies..
#05. ODIN, Lord of Asgard
Odin is one of the most powerful of Earth gods, who at his prime possess greater power than any god on Earth except that of the Elder Gods.. Odin possesses power said to be greater than that of the demon Mephisto and rivals that of Dormammu.. He is said to possess power enough to destroy galaxies and his death was felt throughout creation.. With such power, i know no one would question why Odin is included in the list..
#04. ATUM, God of the Sun and Devourer of Gods
Atum is one of the most powerful gods in existence.. Being the one who destroyed the Elder Gods themselves, Atum's power is quite undeniable.. The reason why he is not on the top of the list is because of the nature of his power.. Without becoming the Demogorge, Atum's power is still greater than that of most gods on earth, but still comes short compare to the Elder Gods who is a source of near limitless powers themselves..
#03. AMATSU-MIKABOSHI, Japanese God of Evil and Darkness
Mikaboshi is perhaps the most feared god in this list.. Later on, his origins was ret-con and was revealed that he is the Chaos King, the embodiment of the darkness and void that existed before creation itself.. His oldest and greatest enemy was the Elder Goddess Gaea, who was said to be the first being to have sprung from his chaos..
Mikaboshi could have probably took the #1 spot if we consider his new incarnation, but since that is not the case, he only takes the 3rd place.. But if we consider his power at its fullest, he would certainly top the list..
#2. GAEA, the primeval goddess of the Earth, mother of all pantheons and the spirit of life and renewal..
Gaea being an Elder God possesses power on a scale beyond other gods on Earth.. She alone possess the power to banish the dreaded Dormammu against his will and even directed opposition to the avatar of the cosmic Oblivion.. She even possess power to halt the judgement of the Celestials and make them reconsider.. Gaea is also revealed to be the fountainhead of all life and and creation in the Multiverse.. with such power, she certainly deserves the second spot on the list..
#1. OSHTUR, Bright Lady of the Dawn and Goddess of the Eastern Star
Oshtur tops the list because she, without any enchantments, is the most powerful of all known Earth gods.. Her omnipotence is often claimed by sorcerers.. she alone is of sufficient power to rival her brother Chthon, who's mere presence threatens the entire universe.. She survives in legend as the "Virgin Goddess", creator of angels, lady of the dawn with unidentified connection with the Judeo-Christian God and the Virgin Mary..
hope you guys like my list.. again, this list is based on my opinion.. you have have comments and opinions you want to share, feel free to do so.. thank you.. ^_^
