Does it count for anything that Hirohito was literally called 'God-Emperor' in American WWII propaganda? It should at least be mentioned in his entry, maybe?

"Any campaign world where an orc samurai can leap off a landcruiser to fight a herd of Bulbasaurs will always have my vote of confidence"Look, while Discord is a Physical God, no-one ever said he is. In fact, I know of no records of what he or anyone else said about anything at the time when he ruled. This is about being called a god, not being.
Edited by VVK Hide / Show RepliesMaybe I was a bit hasty in removing him again, but I don't think that latest version was right either. Being (called) an Anthropomorphic Personification, which he actually is pretty explicitly, doesn't make one a god.

This is the best of the bunch in my estimation; http://www.deviantart.com/art/MiniMasterpieces-The-Emperor-122346646, but you might want to get artist permission 1st.
What about the mayor (I.E. the player) in Simcity and other such games?
You're just the mayor but you can do things like demolish buildings with no repercussions, rearrange the landscape at your whim, summon disasters and you live forever.

Pulled the Eight Bit Theatre quote from the Quotes Wiki and put it back here. I just think it illustrates the trope better than the current one (though I left that one—two quotes is hardly too many).
Examples are not general. Name a specific work or put this on the Trivia page for the Bible.
