The-One-Above-All (also known as "Above All Others" or ''God'') is the overarching protagonist of the Marvel Universe.

He is the true Monotheistic Supreme God of the Marvel Omniverse and the sole master of the cosmic overseer; The Living Tribunal. The-One-Above-All is the supreme creator of all existence in the Marvel omniverse and is considered to be the most powerful character in Marvel. He has an evil alter-ego known as The-One-Below-All.

The One Above All is the highest creative force in known existence and the source of all there is, was, and ever will be. It is said to be more powerful than all its creations combined. Normally, the One Above All's servant, the Living Tribunal, acts on its behalf as the supreme authority of the Multiverse, although the One Above All does directly intervene from time to time. The One Above All lives in the House of Ideas, or "Heaven," beyond all time and space

Biography[]

The-One-Above-All created the omniverse itself in the beginning of creation and after creating it, created the Living Tribunal to oversee the Multiverse and act as its sole and highest authority as well as its overseer. His most infamous creation was Lucifer/Satan, who rebelled against him while also accusinh him for loving humans so much than the angels of the multiverse.

Apparently responsible for the existence of all life in the Multiverse and possibly beyond, the One Above All is the master and sole superior of the cosmic overseer and arbitrator known as the Living Tribunal, whose faces, embodying equity, vengeance, and necessity respectively, are in perfect alignment with one another as it passes judgment. In order to create life anew through the cycle of death and rebirth of the Multiverse, they can manifest as the dark entity, the One Below All, who serves as the counterweight to the expanding life in the Multiverse

Appearance in the Comics[]

Above-all-others

When Beta Ray Bill died in his battle with Asteroth, he first appeared presumably as a mysterious, glowing white-robed man who then used his powers to revive the dead gladiator.

When the pregnant Susan Storm feared for her husband's possible death at the hands of the "all-powerful" Silver Surfer, Uatu the Watcher explained to her that there is only one being that is truly "all-powerful", and that "His only weapon...is love!", During an encounter with the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange, the cosmic entity Eternity told Strange: "I and my brother, Death, comprise all of your reality, mystic! Neither he nor I are God, for God rules all realities!" When Thor once compared himself and Odin to various other gods and abstract beings in terms of power, he noted: "...and 'tis said that a being, called the Living Tribunal — the final judge — hath the power to enforce his will 'pon any cosmos he doth judge! And 'tis said his power is supreme in all the Multiverse. Even I, son of one of the mightiest of all gods, find it impossible to conceive of such levels of power! And 'tis a humbling thought to consider how much greater the Creator of all Universes must be than that of all of His creations combined

When the Fantastic Four journeyed beyond the planes of existence, they entered the realm of The-One-Above-All where he was taking the form of Jack Kirby. The One-Above-All appeared in front of a pregnant Susan Storm, who was fearing for her husband's death at the hands of the Silver Surfer gave her hope by healing Reed Richard's severely damaged face and afterwards sent them home.

Thanos and an alternative version of Adam Warlock gained a brief audience with the entity after their reality had been destroyed. It was here revealed that the One Above All, also called the "Above-All-Others", exists beyond time and space, and alternates between appearing as female and male. Thanos managed to convince the entity to restore reality, in exchange for Adam taking up the vacant position, and duties, of the deceased Living Tribunal.

He made another appearance as a homeless man in the street and was advising Peter Parker known as Spider-Man to see his dying Aunt May. He also comforts him that he should let her die because death is a natural part of life. Unfortunately, Peter does not take his advice.

When the Thing died, The-One-Above-All appeared and congratulates the Fantastic Four for exploring the multiverse whom the latter promised extraordinary new wonders in the later years and afterwards resurrected the Thing.

Power and Abilities[]

As the Supreme Being of the Marvel Omniverse, The-One-Above-All is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. He is capable of taking numerous forms such as white-robed man or a homeless man. Unsurprisingly, he is also capable of resurrection such as when Beta Ray Bill died in battle, the deity revived him soon afterwards. Even when Thanos had the almighty powers of the Infinite Gauntlet at his disposal, it was noted he was still infinitely more powerful than Thanos himself. Only he has the power to command the Judge of the Multiverse, the Living Tribunal to which the latter yields. Above all (pun intended), he is supremely powerful as he is infinitely above all of creation in the Marvel Omniverse.

Trivia[]

  • The-One-Above-All was created with the intent to explain creator mandates over the comics. As Jack Kirby and Stan Lee were the creator of many of Marvel's heroes/teams, the current writing teams of Marvel would always cede to their input.
  • With the passing of Stan Lee, The-One-Above-All will still be a mouth-piece for out-of-universe forces with control over the creative team to speak directly with the denizens of Marvel just not for Stan Lee specifically anymore.
  • The-One-Above-All can be considered as the Marvel Counterpart to the DC deity known as The Presence.
  • This deity should not be confused with the Celestials member known as the One Above All.
