   There's also the detail that "God" covers a wide range of abilities and   
   vulnerabilities/invulnerability when you're talking comic books and   
   superheroes.  In DC Superman is generally considered at least as   
   powerful as Diana, usually more powerful, and would easily qualify as a   
   "God".
