The universe ofDC Comicsis vast and full of improbably powerful entities , but perhaps the most powerful are their Gods . Thevarious Greek Gods such as Zeusand others from various different mythologies have the power to eliminate the more terrestrial fighter in arcsecond - but even they are not as powerful as the might of DC editorial fiat .

DC is an American company createdduring the Golden Age of Comics , and as such would almost sure enough habituate this rule to kick upstairs the Judeo - Christian God above all others in accordance with the quasi - theocracy that Americans take a firm stand the state uphold ( unofficially , at least ) . But in 2022 , is this legal philosophy not outdated ?
