I get so tired of Manhattan fanboys everywhere claiming these kinds of things.. he's an ascended human with Mad Jasper level reality warpings and a few extra bonuses.. fans constantly say "he's God".. he's not.. he never will be.. these arguments are absolute drivel and are always made by people who hyperbole Manhattan to a horrific degree.

everyone gets the point, he's powerful, that doesn't make him God.. Myx and the Fifth Dimensional Imps are like tiny little insects to even one of the Endless - the Endless combined are little more than germs to the Presence.. there's no comparison.

comic books are by nature a never-ending power-scale and flexing of muscles but Manhattan will never be a Supreme Being.. he's not in that level of power.. it's like how Q in Star Trek posed as "God" once or twice.. doesn't make Q a Supreme Being.. it just makes him more advanced than Picard.

same deal with Manhattan versus Imps, he's simply beyond them.. that doesn't mean he's anywhere near Endless and so on.. there's a massive difference between being absurdly overpowered and being an actual fundamental force of all reality etc etc..

the Overmonitor is meant to be the author, so again Manhattan is nowhere near these leagues of power, it's fanboys that claim his power to be like this..

as for characters quoting him as "God" in the comic books themselves, we'd call anything sufficiently powerful "God" too if we saw it - doesn't mean it actually is.
