Are there any fictional characters more powerful than Maxwell from Scribblenauts? (sh.itjust.works)

He can create a time machine, black holes, death, war, and literally create and kill God. Am I wrong for saying he's the most powerful character?

Omniscient and omnipotent.

If God existed, I kinda imagine he'd be like end-game Dr. Manhattan. Which was probably the message, but explained really well through the journey.

But, OTOH, if God did exist, it'd have infinite capacity to have infinite care and consideration for every quark. Unlike Dr. Manhatten, it could just choose to care, choose to limit the effects of being omniscient. Dr. Manhattan was as much a victim of his powers and, obviously, unable or unwilling to control their effects on him. He could fork off instances of himself, but he couldn't resist the ennui of inevitability. He was a puppet of fate, and was aware of that. By definition, God is omnipotent, and therefore would be unbound by those limitations.

After reading this I can’t tell if I’m smoking too much weed or not smoking enough weed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not nearly enough.

The funny thing is, I'm not smoking any at all. Pot is legal in my state, but it makes me nauseous; always has. LSD was always my favorite, but I don't have that sort of peer group, and it's just too much work and risk to go out of my way to source it.

So: totally sober here. Sadly.

It’s a great comment. I should’ve specified that.
