@Naamah_Obyzouth: Norse Gods like Thor where still able to die in their Mythos before comics. I would say that what you are saying should apply to Greek Gods and other Deities. But I do see your point Gods should be a tier above normal super humans and incredibly hard to beat at that.
I totally agree with this. There's no reason to use these mythological gods as Immortal because in their original Mythos they die all the time. Zeus killed his father, Cronus, who also killed his father.
But the idea that any mortal shouldn't be able to challenge a God and potentially slay them would be detrimental to story. Think about it, most of the best stories ever told in Mythology involve Men defying gods and beating them at their own game. Sure they didn't kill them but that wasn't the story for most of the heroes but the idea that they could have if they needed to is a welcomed idea.
Also in that light the idea that a God has to be immortal in order to be worshiped is wrong. It's only their Superiority that makes up the difference, in that light, Superman can be considered a God, but he too can be killed. Sure it's tough to beat him but Bats can do it.
