From YKTTW Working Title: God-Emperor Of The Universe
Squall: How can one be "more so" than the foundation concept upon which one is built to begin with? And god-emperors, while always worshiped, aren't necessarily omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and eternal, like in the standard forms for God. As such, God-Emperor should be sublimated to the God trope, in terms of power, whether some tropers like it or not.
Wascally Wabbit: Your absolutely right and that first paragraph is a giant mess. [[Edits]] Hopefully thats clearer.
Wascally Wabbit: Removing good information? It's not good information, it's unreadable gushing that exculdes half the examples.
Fixed again to produce a description that's actuall readeble and doesn't exclude the vast majority of these characters who are deluded egomaniacs. Listen up, you don't Win The Wiki by building up your favourite character type to be the Ultimate Mega Super Dupe Best At Everything Superior To All Other Charcter Types. It's just plain silly.

Kulsprutejojjo: I really am generally opposed to the idea of having one of the Titans from the Warcraft universe (don't remember which of them it is, but I clearly recognize it as one of them) as the page image. Practically because no matter how strong or powerful the titans are in the universe, they are completely unrelated to the trope itself, and it doesn't even look like it has anything to do with the trope, either. They may be comparable to gods in the Warcraft universe, but they are certainly not rulers of empires or anything. More like a pantheon of gods to the dwarves and some other races. Now, for a suggestion on what to put there instead, I definitely suggest we put one half of the Trope Namer instead (in my opinion, THE EMPRAH), as it really makes a whole lote more sense than one of the Warcraft titans. If nobody has any objections, I will replace that image with the God-Emperor of Mankind.
Wascally Wabbit: Agreed on all counts. The Emprah would be good, alternately Xerxes from {{300}} Added his imperial EMPRA Hness as the picture. In case anyone can't read it, the text sats '500 trillion screaming fanatics can't be wrong'.
