Godfall: 15 Comic Book Gods That Cartoons Totally Neutered

When it comes to comic books, there is no shortage of beings so powerful, they can only be labeled as gods. When you look closely, there are quite a lot of them with both Marvel and DC featuring so many cosmic beings, they just had to make their way over to television at one point or another. The problem with cartoons is that they need to appeal to children while still keeping adults entertained; at least, most of them follow that strategy with comic-based shows. When it comes to featuring someone who is all-powerful, they tend to get watered down in a show so they don’t overpower the main character. When that happens, they essentially neuter the god so they can “work” on the show.

We already know some folks might light up the comments on what they think is classified as a god and what isn’t. For this list, we are considering anyone/anything a god or goddess if they possess godlike abilities (or had them at one time), are labeled as “Eternal” in the comics or are so powerful, they are, for all intents and purposes a god when compared to a mortal. Now that we have cleared that up, please enjoy 15 Comic Book Gods That Cartoons Totally Neutered.
