Capabilities
Omnipotence (from Latin: Omni Potens: "all power") is the almighty in every sense and aspect. The best way to understand it is the very principle of miracles, thus like a universal principle.
Principles of Omnipotence
Absolutely Everything; Omnipotence is the very act of doing absolutely anything. It is all power, top-level, absolute pinnacle and everything beyond them, existing above and beyond any other power and concept, without any effort.
To give an illustration, omnipotence is the description of everything, including every possible, impossible, beyond notions of infinity.
Omnipotence can do the impossible such as "bigger than infinity", "making a squared circle" or "transcending itself."
Only One; Suppose omnipotence splits into parts, each one of these omnipotent. Then as omnipotence is the doing of absolutely anything, any slightest opposition between each part will lead to successfully negating the doing, and hence the result is nothing happens until there is unity. But that is the same as one omnipotence, thus removing the distinction of splitting and not splitting omnipotence into multiples.

Notes
- Beyond Omnipotence is Omnipotence
- Omnipotence by definition is the absolute pinnacle.
- If something were to beat omnipotence, then it was never omnipotent to begin with.
- Omnipotence in Fiction
- Strictly speaking, omnipotents in fiction often have human-like personalities, thus they are not omnipotent. However they are often the sole absolute almighty in their setting, thus they are close enough to represent omnipotence.
- Though there are exceptions (e.g. Creator from Umineko)
- It's one and only wielder (there can be only one in each fictional continuity, hence the "Above All") is fundamentally invincible, completely immune to all other powers, and able to defeat the combined might of all creation and its mightiest beings just by wanting it, without the slightest effort.
- Strictly speaking, omnipotents in fiction often have human-like personalities, thus they are not omnipotent. However they are often the sole absolute almighty in their setting, thus they are close enough to represent omnipotence.
- In Trans-Fictional Theories
- If their are many Omnipotent beings in the multiverse then they would fundamentally be the same being, representing the individuality of their respective universe and unity of the infinite cosmos of other realities.
- Thus being a more truer omnipotent being by universal concept and the principals of omnipotence.
- If their are many Omnipotent beings in the multiverse then they would fundamentally be the same being, representing the individuality of their respective universe and unity of the infinite cosmos of other realities.
Trivia
- Omnipotent beings can only apply their power in their respective fiction.
- Omnipotence can't be achieved via other powers or otherwise.

Spoilers about Dark Nights Death Metal: Rise of the New God for whoever reading this.
So now it’s confirmed that The Overvoid is indeed not omnipotent as we are introduced to a new character in the story named The Chronicler, with the specific function of being sent to gather story data and mapping so that he and Overvoid can understand the story.
A being of the Omniverse and yet The Source exists above him. The Chronicler works solely on behalf of The Source, Recording many the end of trillions of multiverses.
This is no different from when The Overvoid extended a probe from its non-being in order to analyze the Flaw, which would later be known as the Science Monitor Dax Novu.
The Overvoid (And possibly The Source) is not omniscient therefore is not omnipotent.
RIP THE Overvoid
Honestly, I'd take THIS over any super power any day... or at least Nigh-Omnipotence.
Can a user of Supreme Voice have the option of turning their ability on and off at will and if not can they just say they can regulate it and overcome that flaw ?
RIP The Creator
Yeah this most likely makes the creator not omnipotent anymore since Maria will become one.
It goes against the rule that omnipotence cannot be achieved.
Oh would you look that.
it proves that author authority is indeed omnipotence in the truest sense of the word.
one author alone (either an editor or some weird dude) can rewrite everything now that's a feat.
If they aren't omnipotent anymore, why are they here?
Beats me.
Quick question , Can any of you tell me if one of these two definitions is the best example of what Absolute Manipulation is capable of ? First example , can the user use and bestow powers like Absolute Force Manipulation , Absolute Law Manipulation , Absolute Will , Absolute Wish and just any/every superpower that has the word Absolute in its name and/or capabilities ? Second example , is the user so powerful that they are above the idea of being Absolute/Supreme in any and all aspects therefore is superior to any/every superpower with the word absolute in its name and/or capabilities ?
So apparently in Dark Nights: Death Metal #4 all the past crisis events (Infinite crisis, Final crisis, crisis on infinite earths, etc) we are in fact not ret-con but has all happened.
In other words it seems the flaw of The Overvoid was never retconned. Does it really need to still be listed here now?
Actually the "retcon" thing has nothing to do with any of the crisis events at all. Remember the multiverse is but a fraction of overvoid and what happens to it doesn't affect the overvoid. The retcon part is just the story of pralaya that changed certain things.
“ The retcon part is just the story of pralaya that changed certain things.”
Could you explain a little more detailed about that? Because the moment The Overvoid was introduced it couldn’t understand what the DC multiverse was meaning that it’s not all knowing.
From what I heard from Sage most of the time was that the reason why it was added as a user of this page was because of the flaw being retconned because of the perpetua storyline.
As Dark Nights: Death Metal continues we’ve been revealed the new history and Going by the perpetua storyline the new history of DC is that In the very beginning of existence, there was only The Source and from it, the positive Connective Energy were born and pulled together by an unseen hand. It was throughout the void of the Greater Omniverse that The Source sent "The Hands", a group of super-celestial beings using the Connective Energy to birth Multiverses. With the creation of their Multiverse, each member of the Hands would pass on and allow their energies to return to The Source.
The Overvoid doesn’t really have any place in this anymore and if it does it probably acted as this “ Void of the greater Omniverse“(meaning it’s not an entity but a place.) or it still is what it is. God as a blank page that got surprised and curious when it discovered DC floating within itself.
And either scenario and it doesn’t really point to it being omnipotent.
And of course this is not enough to recognize the source as omnipotent.
Also just because The Overvoid is practically the sheet of paper doesn’t mean it won’t be affected by any of the writings of DC Comics.
If the writers wanna change something about it then they would because they want too. And nothing has changed about it Meaning it still not Omniscient as it doesn’t understands the DC Multiverse.
I wonder when we're going to get more omnipotent characters. This page is kind of dead...
If i was THE ORIGINAL ONE and if i could tap into understanding and close to say much better when its dark because if it made me feel little nostalgic if remembered if i did write many things in like a pre-primordial archive room almost sort of or like writing and reading hall if i written in darkness written up to 5000 scenarios how many worlds could go through and if i calculated humanity would sin before it did happen and allowed humanity to see read and hear stories about adam and eve being from the garden of eden because of the so-called original sin. If i later knew some things would be able to happen and allowed david to get some choices he get to make either stand up to goliath or run away or hide for the rest of his life if i did also being aware of the so-called things like the tower of babel and and also babylons called depravity and also sodom and gomorrah given each of those cities their choices and then see if their choices would get them killed all or many be spared if showed remorse and guilt and want ot ask or beg for forgiveness even if GOD would seemed absent and angry sometimes few even wanting to think he is a deadbeat something like that.
If THE ORIGINAL ONE created at least 1 OMNIVERSE for itself or himself to live in as him new home for the time being and even rule as his own territory.
If created 1 OMNIVERSE for each for themselves to rule and have dominion over.
If THE ORIGINAL ONE so to speak created up to 18000 ENTITIES who each possess bottom of BASIC ULTIPOTENCE power at weakest to MEGA-METAPOTENCE power if those of THE ORIGINAL ONEs most powerful primordial creations or older like proto-primordial or pre-primordial creations. Would you find it to be scary thoughts if some of the entities created
What would you said if truth about the most powerful of all beyond of those are INFINITE in normal terms or little less of unnormal terms so to speak if it went like this i will mention. TOP/ INIFNITY and BEYOND number 1 OMNI-ALPHA & OMNI-OMEGA POWERs like ALPHA & OMEGA-OMNIPOWER. Then next Number 2. Mega-METAPOTENCE. NUMBER 3. Super-METAPOTENCE Number 4 Basic METAPOTENCE. NUMBER 5 Mega-OMNIPOTENCE. Number 6 HYPER-OMNIPOTENCE. Number 7 SUPER-OMNIPOTENCE. Number 8 Basic OMNIPOTENCE. NUmber 9 ALPHA & OMEGA-ULTIPOTENCE. Number 10 MEGA-ULTIPOTENCE. Number 11 HYPER-ULTIPOTENCE. Number 12 SUPER-ULTIPOTENCE. Number 13 Basic ULTIPOTENCE. Number 14 TOP-TIER to Bottom-tier NIGH-OMNIPOTENCE. This is how i would rank everything if THE ORIGINAL ONE so to speak or if it was also referring itself as GOD or GOD FATHER would you be surprised or not if this was confirmed.
It doesn't work like that...
Tiering Omnipotence is a diservice for the power itself as it doesn't afford clasification, it is beyond measure. Doing otherwise is an oxymoron, alongside a pointless effort for a power that has a rule "Beyond Omnipotence is Omnipotence".
Why isnt ultipotence listed as a omnipotent power its omnipotence without omniscience
IS TRUTH FROM FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD OMNIPOTENT
Yes, Truth is omnipotent .
Does the Creator really have to be a valid user of Omnipotence?
He doesn't even seem to exist as a character for his verse.
Also the same for the God of Valkyrie Crusade.
I have a series of questions regarding a certain character: Monitor-Mind the Overvoid
Monitor-Mind the Overvoid, although he shouldn't be Omnipotent (as he says in some comments below), is he above the Writer?
And if there are no questions for Omnipotence, can he eventually be considered a Metapotence user?
Where can I find them at DC Comics? What would Canon and not Canon be for his Omnipotence?
Three questions
Is Supreme Voice a vocal version of Omnipotence ?
Is Supreme Voice constantly active and therefore uncontrollable if so can the user just say they can regulate their Supreme Voice and overcome that problem ?
Would a user of Supreme Voice be some sort of of epic badass or a Mary/Gary Stu in their story , because it seems like a story - breaker power so any character could just say the word and the fight will be instantly over , I am I right ?
Monitor-Mind The Overvoid is not omnipotent: iirc, Perpetua tore pieces from it to create her sons.
a all-powerful being can not have pieces torn from it, and anyway, The Writer from DC Comics is the true omnipotent supreme being of the verse, afaik.
@Queen Misery
That’s why it’s good to have only one writer for your story.
@SunlightSoul123
If I’m going to be brutally honest, The overvoid is not truly omnipotent Because there’s not enough evidence for it to be seen as such.
Pre-retcon, Monitor-Mind The Overvoid was described as an infinite intelligence however it did not create or understand DC multiverse and it’s discovery shock the entity;
https://m.imgur.com/y1WjqMF
Post-retcon, The Overvoid is only mentioned when perpetua used it to create her three sons.
https://m.imgur.com/a/zpTeQEV
Now there are two variants of the word rent.
1. a tenant's regular payment to a landlord for the use of property or land.
2. a large tear in a piece of fabric.
We don’t exactly know which definition of rent Scott Snyder was referring to but it seems that most of the DC community is using the second definition and if that’s the case then the overvoid isn’t omnipotent.
Now if Snyder meant the first definition of rent then it still doesn’t automatically put The Overvoid up to omnipotence since again there’s barely enough information or evidence to support this.
There’s also the fact that while The cosmic raptor what is about to seal perpetua away she claimed that one day she will come for The Raptor’s masters at the end of the void and rip them limb from limb.
Now I don’t know what void perpetua was referring to but if she’s talking about the void beyond all voids aka The Overvoid then this is proof that The Overvoid is finite not infinite.
This may also prove that the mysterious Judges of the Source May be above the overvoid.
However for now this is not confirmed so I should be taken as a grain of salt.
also be wary of using Perpetua as an example to disprove everything pre-Perpetua as it is almost certain that after the latest Dark Multiverse event DC will rebuild the Source Wall or similar and many changes will happen to "fix" the multiverse (before, of course, they make a new crisis to once again mess with the hierarchy).. like I said, comics in particular are almost impossible media to have a "fully proven 100 percent omnipotent" in because they continually make new crisis events that completely alter canon, then have another crisis event that brings back old canon.. only for it to repeat forever and ever..
@ThePirateKing777 It might be a case of Omni-Creator where its multiple being considered "Omnipotent" but just 1 person.
Is omnipresence required for omnipotence? I mean does a omnipotent being always have to have omnipresence or is it optional?
Yes, but an omnipotent can choose not to have omnipresence, for example
That’s sort of way of looking at it as more around the field of Metapotence as users of that power are more likely to choose not to have omnipresence.
Now don’t get me wrong, omnipotent beings are perfectly capable of the same thing but this page functions more as the state of being rather than the action.
sorry late comment but an truly omnipotent being would still be omnipotent if they decided that they did not want to be omnipresent right?
Yes.
But again that way of looking at it is more a kin to the action, Not the state of being(this power).
I realized that there was a missing page. What happened to the "Omni-Creator" page?
Its not missing. It was moved to the Userspace because it doesn't have any known users by basic definition of its capabilities.
Oh okay. I appreciate your response.
