Living God (Rank 5)

Literally a divine being and part of a divine pantheon (or this powerful for some other reason), you use your amazing abilities to end injustice and defeat evil. Whether you're a child of Mount Olympus, Asgard, or some other mythology; from a distant dimension or star; or the result of an experiment or process that bequeathed you unbelievable power, you've thrown in your lot with regular people, at least for now.

What can't a living god do, or at least credibly attempt? Your presence on a team almost ensures its eventual success, assuming the foes you face aren't also gods.

Background

  • Sometime ago, your powers were stripped from you because of your selfish, cruel ways. Over the subsequent years, you matured and dedicated yourself to being a better, kinder person who helps others. Eventually, your powers returned. You hope your selfish ways never do.
  • Three months ago you learned you might not be the only member of your family still alive.
  • You're an alien raised by humans, and despite your differences (and amazing abilities), you see humans as your people and you'll do anything to protect them.
  • The head of your pantheon called you back to the realm a year ago but you refused.
  • Born of humans and another, stranger realm, you've dedicated yourself to protecting both, even though both humans and those of the other realm sometimes treat you unfairly.
  • The anniversary of the alien invasion you helped defeat last year is coming up.
  • You recently learned of a (luckily rare) substance that severely weakens you when it's nearby.
  • Your secret identity was the target of identity theft, threatening your finances and, more importantly, your friends and found family among normal people.
