omnipotence in fiction is *not* the same as omnipotence in theology, people must remove that instantly and the argument made that "omnipotent beings are invincible like the God of Biblical lore" is not applicable to fiction.

because fiction is about telling stories.. a god in most work is considered "omnipotent" because they are born with vast powers beyond those of a "mortal", like a human.. in superhero setting a "god" is a being that is stronger than, let's say, Superman.. they do *not* have to be invincible to be consider "omnipotent" (rather it is "nigh-omnipotence).

the point is there is no need to add "omnipotent" to a page that has "deity" in it, since in most media gods are vastly powerful.. and that is the definition of omnipotent in fiction ("vastly superior in scale to other characters (main cast) in their setting).

the only beings that are considered completely omnipotent (and actually invincible) in fiction are Supreme Beings.

as a fictional wiki we'll use terms as they are used in fiction, not as they may be used in reality (and even in theology the divine is considered omnipotent even when it has limits, the gods of old myths could die and be defeated but they were considered all-powerful by mortals.. god-killers can kill them only because they find items or powers rivalling that of the divine)
