!But she might also be... [[spoiler: Persephone]]
MASSIVE spoilers!
[[spoiler: She mentions her god is always there and is the last. Who was the last? Persephone. She's so far the only Persephone we know, and Ananke tried to kill her ASAP. Because Laura's the incarnation of her sister and possibly a descendent. Ananke always feels foolish that it's taken a long time to find her because she's ''used'' to hunting down Persephone]].

In both the 1923 and 2014 Pantheons, Woden [[spoiler: has been a fraud using Mimir's powers to be a god.]] When 1831!Woden confronted the creature that Lucifer raised, she imbued it with her power. The same creature is implied to be what 1923!Woden was [[spoiler: holding captive in the basement of the lighthouse, along with Mimir. It could be that when 1831!Woden infused herself into the creature, she, like Ananke, removed herself from the cycle of the recurrences, which is why both successive Wodens have been frauds.]]

Ananke's talk with Laura and the fact that the 1830s Inanna had to ask to be ascended imply that there are more than twelve potential candidates (this also includes people who are part of a group - ie the norns or the Sisters of the Parsonage.)

* '''Massive Issue 33 spoilers'''! [[spoiler: Ananke apparently took over Minerva's body. Thus, Ananke isn't bound by flesh, but has to be able to act upon the world in a flesh-and-blood form, so she takes over peoples' bodies if she's killed or dies through some natural cause (ie, a hurricane or an earthquake). Ananke always ends up aging so she looks the same each time - much like how Miang alters all her host bodies by turning their hair indigo. Thus, the Ananke Persephone killed isn't even the ''original'' Ananke, but her ''current incarnation''. However, in contrast to Miang, who has little to no control over her next host, Ananke can ''choose'' her host body, so she chose Minerva to keep close to the Pantheon. By the time the 2100s pantheon comes about (assuming this didn't cause a delay) Minerva!Ananke will resemble the same old woman we're used to.]]

!The gods are ideas rather than {{Reincarnation}}s, like [[VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} Miang]].
* The gods aren't the same person every time they incarnate, but their 'personalities' do tend to influence their current host bodies (ie, how Lucifer always tends to rebel and how Urdr was "always a difficult one"). Every person has the "potential" to become a member of the Pantheon, but some are more likely than others. Ananke only awakens the people who have the ''most'' potential to become Gods - within the "prime of their lives" so to speak. [[spoiler: thus old people wouldn't become gods, based upon the 1830 pantheon it seems they are at most maybe in their mid to late twenties or early thirties? This is also why David Blake isn't a god, but his son is.]] And this also leads to...

![[spoiler: Ananke ''is'' much more like [[VideoGame/{{Xenogears}} Miang]] than the other gods - as Ananke ''must'' be present at ''all'' times.]]

This one is a bit far-fetched, but there is a certain symmetry in having Woden guard [[spoiler: a possibly-immortal copy of a previous Woden]]. Also, the "horns" are pretty similar and have similar shades of blue.

Did anyone notice those tellingly purple stars at the end of the flashback in issue #28, which appeared in front of the letter Ananke addressed to somebody vague? Also, the section was titled "Baddies", as in more than one bad guy involved.
