Physical Gods in comic books.
The following have their own pages:
Other
- Clive Barker's Next Testament: God is a brightly-colored creature who, after being released from his slumber, walks the Earth to convert people and perform "miracles" everywhere. This is a VERY bad thing.
- The fairy-tale characters of the Fables comic book series. With some of them (such as Aslan or Weyland Smith) actually supposed to be gods. Others... not so much (Goldilocks).
- Goldilocks is more of an Implacable Woman than a god. Interestingly those that do quality as Physical Gods are mystically attuned to the concept of themselves rather than traditional concepts.
- Hellboy has Hecate, the Ogdru Jahad, and various creatures, monsters, and demons that have all been worshipped at one point or another. There was also a giant genocidal homunculus who declared himself a god and fought Hellboy.
- Last Man Standing: Hex is one, since he kind of, you know, created the whole damn universe!
- Paperinik New Adventures has Xadhoom, an alien scientist who experimented a procedure on herself and accidentally became nigh-invulnerable (meaning you can stun her by using enough physical force to blast apart a small moon, but the only ways to actually harm her are to drain away her power, and even then you have to do it faster than she can see where you hide or you're dead, or to torture her into exploding, and good luck keeping her captured for the days it will take to actually acknowledge the pain, never mind blow her up), capable to change her form at will, fly faster than light and fire any form of energy she knows of with enough power to shatter a planet. And she has a vendetta against the Evronians, who conquered her homeworld and enslaved her people while she got her powers. The kicker? That's her holding back: where she to get really serious, she'd be able to manipulate matter and energy to a near cosmic scale. This comes with a complete loss of self-control, and thus, if used, would cause her to disintegrate into nothingness, as learned the hard way by the Evronian who was told how to acquire her power but not about this (he disintegrated as planned).
- Later we're introduced to Moldrock, once a runt left in the deserts of Corona to die... Until he stumbled on the power of the Black Beam. His first act was to give himself and the other runts the bodies of warriors. The second was to turn the planet-wide desert in a luscious world. The third was to conquer the entire planet, and then move against the rest of the galaxy while looking for a good fight. He was eventually defeated through trickery, and while was never given the chance to recharge his powers anywhere to his fullest in his second appearance he could project barriers capable of shrugging off nuclear strikes, and in his third, after months of torture and having his powers continuously drained, he overpowers the armed forces of Corona while holding back to not kill his future subjects, before being finally knocked out by a 200 GW strike.
- In Sonic the Comic Robotnik becomes a Physical God after absorbing the power of the Chaos Emeralds in Robotnik Reigns Supreme arc becoming a Omnipotent, Omniscient Reality Warper and Super Sonic seems to verge on this, especially towards the end of the arc where Sonic was trapped in the Special Zone. Besides his immense strength and speed (both enough to easily annihilate enemies who Sonic was all but helpless against) and flight, he's also so powerful that the Omniviewer was unable to stop time for him (only slow it enough to ensure that crossing several inches would take years) was able to remain fully aware even while in a state of slowed time, and was able to gather enough charged particles to turn an asteroid into a miniature sun (which then exploded with enough force to bathe the entire surface of Mobius in a powerful electromagnetic pulse). It's occasionally said that he is powerful enough to destroy a planet.
- In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), any Echidna who absorbs enough Chaos energy becomes the immortal demigod Enerjak, and are only ever defeated by being imprisoned in an over the top way (trapped under a castle's rubble, shot into space, etc.), or having their powers mystically removed, not in physical combat. And to give an example of how strong Enerjak is in any incarnation, when Knuckles was tricked into becoming him, he ended up singlehandedly destroying Eggman's entire army and reducing his city to rubble.
- And in an Alternate Universe, the fate of the world's people in this alternate reality is unknown — while the main cast have all had their souls ripped out by Knuckles, the only city that's seen — Enerjak's capital — is completely deserted. It is possible Knuckles-Enerjak killed them all or likewise ripped out their souls. ...or that nobody sane would choose to live within a hundred miles (if that) of the tyrant.
- Mammoth Mogul's "Master Mogul" form is this as he had the power of twelve Chaos Emeralds powering him, a threat that required Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Turbo Tails to fight off.
- The Norse Gods from Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose. They easily outstrip any other character in the series (besides the Goddess), and Hel can use a world-wide Reset Button.
- The Trinity of Hypsis in the Valérian comic series, an ironic pastiche of Christianity's Holy Trinity. They possess various powers typically associated with them in popular mythology; the Father can fling thunderbolts for example, and the Son can heal and (possibly) resurrect anybody. They do claim responsibility for creating mankind, however, and have the power to influence Earth's timelines. They perceive their divinity as a business enterprise in which they are struggling in the brink of bankruptcy, which would strip them of their position and powers. Christian characters tend to call them frauds or usurpers.
- The members of the Pantheon in The Wicked + The Divine are this. Presumably those they give portions of their power to are this as well.
- W.I.T.C.H. examples:
- Elyon, thanks to her ability to change reality with a small gesture. She's not invincible, but is impossible to defeat or even fight straight on
- The Oracle, sort of: while he hasn't the power to do things on a grandiose scale, the leader of Kandrakar is practically omniscient (it is possible to hide from him, but it's extremely difficult when he's not paying attention and next to impossible when he is) and can casually teleport himself or others around and alter memories. In fact, he was once mistaken for God due visiting Earth to pull a Deus ex Machina and introducing himself by explaining the origin of the term Deus Ex Machina (he quickly explained he was not God, just appearing from nowhere to solve the unsolvable)
- Among the Guardians, the Keeper of the Heart is one, once she knows how to use her powers to the fullest. While Will is too young and unexperienced to fully use her powers, Nerissa was shown disintegrating another Guardian (literally: witnesses openly says she didn't even leave a body), surviving an attack whose recoil could have shattered Kandrakar, and even create life
- All the Guardians, once they receive their full power in the New Power saga. To make an example, Hay Lin was able to take an hurricane and close it in a small box.
