Introduction
Omnipotence is a concept where a being can do anything and everything without any sort of restriction. These kinds of beings exist to such a degree they are incomprehensible, wielding unfathomable power. They have ability to utilize any ability to ever exist to any degree and even non-existent abilities. They are everywhere and nowhere at the same time due to their omnipresent state. They know everything is to know, will be to know, and know everything there is not to know due to their omniscience. They exist beyond any sort of true of measurability as they exist outside of forms of logic and can do the illogical. Beings of this magnitude truly are worthy of the idea of "unlimited power."
It should be noted that only certain characters can be classified under this idea. Even then, the amount we can say actually truly meet what's needed to be this high is incredibly slim. It is hard to truly designate a character to such a position because of fictional limitations. This is also because it is unknown how to exactly ascertain characters reaching this level of existence. Hence, only characters that are Tier 0 fall under the labeling of being a "Questionable Omnipotence" being for their profiles, though due to the sheer complexity of it, it's arguable that not even a Tier 0 would fall under this.
Addressing the Omnipotence Paradox
One of the claims that people make about Omnipotence is that it would be impossible. They try to create logical contradictions by conjuring hypothetical scenarios that should debunk this idea with impossible or self-contradicting situations. We will cover the most common example just to show what's wrong with the way people address the concept of Omnipotence.
"God obeys the laws of logic because God is eternally logical in the same way that God does not perform evil actions because God is eternally good. So, God, by nature logical and unable to violate the laws of logic, cannot make a boulder so heavy he cannot lift it because that would violate the law of non contradiction by creating an immovable object and an unstoppable force."
If God cannot do any evil as any act, he does is therefore good. Then, God cannot do any contradiction as even if he does an act we view as a contradiction, it will be not be one as he did it. The simple way to put this is that God sets his own truth on the matter. We cannot enforce logic onto God as that would be self-defeating of the idea of how Omnipotence works. It would treat logic as something that be set as superior to God, meaning God wouldn't be all-powerful considering he is bound by a supposed superior force of logic. Utilizing paradoxes to say Omnipotence doesn't exist isn't a proper reason to not include it on this wiki.
How Fictional Characters Could Have This
One of the possible confusions people often postulate is asking how there could be multiple "Questionable Omnipotence" beings when it comes to indexing. However, such a dilemma can be answered with the Omni-Creator idea. This is the concept that all of the classified "Questionable Omnipotence" beings exist truly as a singular, transfictional entity. All of the appearances in other media would be the preferable forms they take for that specific verse. As an omni-dimensional being, an Omnipotent being would be capable of this if we applied such an idea. This guarantees the sacrosanct unicity of Omnipotence, removing all potential paradoxes, and notably explains how crossovers are possible in the first place, and why local Omnipotents never fight one another.
Note
- Please note that this page is a hypothetical, it's not even fully certain if High 1-A characters that are the absolute supreme being of their verse should get this ability or not.
