* ''WebComic/TomTheDancingBug'': In [[https://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2013/02/22 one]] of the ''God-Man'' series of parody comics, God-Man is rescued from a paradox by God-God-Man, and the end of the comic implies there is a neverending chain of such superheroes.

** In the backstory, the floor Administrators of the Tower are originally thought to be absolutely unchallengeable; they can control the very physics on their respective floors, even the GodEmperor only rules by their permission, and anyone violating the rules of the Tower too much could be destroyed by the local Administrator, no matter how powerful they were. Then the [[OutsideContextProblem Irregular]] Enryu appears on the 43rd floor and starts making trouble. The Administrator attacks him, but unlike everyone else before him, he's just ''so powerful'' that he fights the Administrator and [[KillTheGod kills it]].[[note]]It's unclear that Enryu is actually a RealityWarper, but at least his mastery of [[MagicByAnyOtherName Shinsu]] is mentioned as being so supreme he can even use it to create life. So strictly speaking, this only ''may'' count.[[/note]]

* ''Film/BruceAlmighty'': God is completely omnipotent, and he makes Bruce nearly omnipotent, with only 2 rules. Plus, Bruce can still ''die'', but God sets that right.

* In ''LightNovel/TheUnexploredSummonBloodSign'', the White Queen sits at the apex of the Unexplored-Class, a category of beings explicitly beyond the gods. She can, without any effort, destroy the entire universe. [[spoiler:The seventh volume introduces the Colorless Little Girl, an artificial creation designed solely to counter the Queen. The Girl completely and utterly [[NoSell No Sells]] every last one of the Queen's attacks, including an attempt at destroying the universe. She finishes by removing the Queen's influence over the universe, and killing her for good. Except that it turns out that the Queen [[AllAccordingToPlan wanted this to happen]]. She deliberately let the Girl defeat her (surviving through unknown means) so that the Girl would be transformed into an even greater being]].

*** Perhaps the most satisfying is during ''Season of Mists'', the Key to Hell arc. The demon Azazel taunts Morpheus with having his former lover inside of his body (basically AlienGeometries), and threatens that he can kill her before Morpheus can attack him unless he hands over the key. Morpheus then calmly puts him in a jar and stuffs him in a box for a few centuries to stew in his juices. He reveals that since Azazel was inside of Morpheus' domain, and his former lover ''also'' benefited from the SacredHospitality he offered to all guests his own RealityWarping spectacularly trumped Azazel's.

** Crayak himself is an exile from another galaxy, having been ejected by something flat-out more powerful than him.

Meet the [[MarvelUniverse Cosmos]].]]

** Creator/NeilGaiman's ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' has this in various places.

At other times, each deity is a PrinciplesZealot and can be undone by a LogicBomb or a bit of {{Rules Lawyer}}ing. In these cases, it doesn't matter how much power the opposition actually has, because the victim's own limits defeat them. These rules, or whoever imposes them, are what's EvenMoreOmnipotent than either god.

** WordOfGod also reveals that another infamous Irregular, Phantaminum, has AuthorPowers and is completely undefeatable to anyone who doesn't have the same. Thus, while the inhabitants of the Tower may speculate about who would win in a fight between him and Enryu, this implies Phantaminum is above him (and the Administrators) and the most omnipotent character in the series.

This is a special type of NoSell made especially for when two god-like beings collide. If two unique characters are "omnipotent", then there have to exist limits to their power. Logically speaking, two characters that can literally do '''anything''' is impossible, because just having individuality is technically a power. So in a contest of warpers, the one who will win is whoever can NoSell the most. In such a scenario, if Omnipotent Being #1 is usually able to turn anyone to salt with just a thought, Omnipotent Being #2 is either immune, or can prevent or reverse that power with their own effort.

*** This becomes a plot point in ''Comicbook/{{Thor 2014}}'', as the hammer [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grows beyond its enchantment]] and gains the ability to choose its own wielder, rejecting both Thor Odinson and Odin in favor of the new Thor, [[spoiler:Jane Foster]]. This hints that Mjölnir has grown far more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined.

** ''Comicbook/{{The Ultimates 2015}}'': When Galactus uses his powers to prevent the Ultimates from discovering TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow, Eternity (the embodiment of the universe itself) appears and tells Galactus that ''he's'' meddling in things not meant for ''him'' to know, either.

*** Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}, aka the Devil, is completely omnipotent and able to warp reality to any whim he desires--except for anything vetoed by [[ArchangelMichael Michael]].

* This trope is the axis of both the plot ''and'' the gameplay of ''Videogame/EternalDarkness'', in the form of an ElementalRockPaperScissors. In short, three {{Eldritch Abomination}}s are fighting each other, only balanced by the fact that each is weak to one of their counterparts and strong against the other. Most of the gameplay relies upon you choosing the correct alignment to dispel, combat, and summon magic to fight whichever of the three you chose as the main antagonist. This is capped off at the end by [[spoiler:[[SummonBiggerFish summoning the opposing Ancient]] to [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] the one who crosses into the real world.]]
** Which of course leads to this trope [[ExaggeratedTrope EVEN FURTHER]] in the game's secret ending. [[spoiler: The Ancient which had been imprisoned by the Three, [[TheChessmaster Mantorok]], combines the three timelines, resulting in a TimeParadox not unlike a fish swallowing it's own tail, where all three Ancients simultaneously killed each other. JustAsPlanned.]]

* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'': "Thanos vs. Darkseid": Thanos, with the Infinifite Gauntlet that gives him power over the entire universe against Darkseid, a god from another universe. [[spoiler: Darkseid is "even more". Though the Infinity Stones would even protect Thanos against the Anti-Life Equation, nothing stops Darkseid from using another attack like the Omega Sanction to win whenever he likes. Also, fighting Darkseid outside his home universe is FightingAShadow, and the Infinity Gauntlet is powerless in Darkseid's own universe.]]

* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'' ends with this. [[spoiler: Giorno decides that enough is enough and pierces himself with the [[MacGuffin Stand Arrow]], enhancing his Stand to the point that it could very easily nullify [[BigBad Diavolo's Stand]] power to effectively destroy the chronological cause-and-effect. Giorno's Stand then not only counters Diavolo's power, but also locks Diavolo [[FateWorseThanDeath into an endless cycle of near-death]].]]

* This trope was the case when eight thousand years before the main story of ''VisualNovel/KajiriKamuiKagura'' the four [[SentientCosmicForce Hadou Gods]] faced Hajun during the battle for the throne. The four Hadou Gods where all ridiculously strong, being able to affect the entire multiverse with [[StoryBreakerPower their power]]. To make the difference clear, the first one was [[EternalRecurrence Mercurius]], the former owner of the throne and mastermind behind everything during the [[VisualNovel/DiesIrae prequel]], being able to throw thousands stars and easely squash a universe into a singularity. The second was [[ForeverWar Reinhard Heydrich]], who commanded an army consisting of billions of skeletons and possessed a giant amount of storybreaker powers and weapons, including the lance of Longinus which is able to [[OneHitKill erase anyone's existence with a strike]], [[UnblockableAttack always go faster than the target]] [[AlwaysAccurateAttack and can never miss]]. The third was [[TimeStop Tenma Yato]], who was able to stop time of all of existence on a conceptional level and possessed the time armor, the series' strongest defense which negates any form of damage. The last of the four Gods was Tasogare, the fifth owner of the Throne, a hyperdimensional artefact capable of manipulating all of reality, and had the guillotine curse, which kills anyone who touches her. The one who defeated them all, Hajun, on the other hand was able to do that because of the series [[PowerLevel power level]], the Taikyoku level. If one has a higher level than the opponent, then one can't be affected by the powers of the weaker one. The four Hadou Gods all had a Taikyoku value of 90 while the scale of Hajun was literally [[OverNineThousand infinite]].

[[folder:Web Comic]]
* ''WebComic/{{Homestuck}}'' features characters called First Guardians who are explicitly omnipotent immortals that can teleport anywhere in the universe and give off unlimited radioactive energy. They are nowhere near the most powerful characters in the setting and handily end up being defeated by the AuthorAvatar, a character who [[SuperpowerLottery gets the best possible roll of magical dice]], a character who embodies pure Hope, and the extra-immortal, ghost-killing, and omniomnipotent Lord English. In Lord English's case, this is because certain circumstances have granted him the powers of a First Guardian ''in addition'' to the incredible powers he already possessed.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': The main villain, [[spoiler:Zanza]], is described as a god who controls fate itself, and is spoken of as though omnipotent. Several demonstrations of his power do indeed seem to suggest this at first glance as well. However, Alvis points out to Shulk the obvious question: "If everything is predestined to lead to [[spoiler:Zanza's]] victory... why is it that he seeks to destroy you?" In the end, it turns out that [[spoiler:Zanza]] is not as omnipotent as he thinks he is, and the one with the real power is in fact [[spoiler:his supposed servant, Alvis]], who has engineered events to bring about his downfall without him having the slightest suspicion.

JustAsPlanned.]]

* ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'': The Ellimist and Krayak are two vastly powerful beings who already tried to do battle in the physical realm, which resulted in massive destruction . Then it turned out neither of them were a match for a black hole, but the Ellimist (thanks to having a consciousness spread out over hundreds of ships) managed to both go in and stay out of the hole, which allowed him to manipulate space-time. Both agreed that their newfound powers (TimeTravel, TimeStandsStill, and screwing conservation of mass, among other things) would result in certain MutuallyAssuredDestruction if they kept it up, so they agreed to become Chessmasters, one promoting life throughout the galaxy, the other extinguishing it, both fighting through native agents who may or may not be aware of their existence.
