The Presence

==Summary==
The Presence is the representation of the Judeo-Christian God in the DC Multiverse and the father of both Lucifer Morningstar and Michael Demiurgos. Although his power is virtually unparalleled, he rarely interferes in the affairs of mortals directly, instead acting through agents and aspects of himself, such as The Spectre. Is one of the supreme and essential creative forces of the DC Multiverse. While the Source and the Overvoid represent the blank canvas from which creation is modelled, the Presence can be described as the one responsible for fashioning said canvas to its will, and is thus the abstract embodiment of every Creator God dreamed and worshipped by mankind over the ages, that which is known by millions of names but in the end represents the same concept. Together with the two aforementioned entities, The Presence can be said to represent God.

Notes:
*While ambiguous on some occasions due to the different approaches of various DC writers, several comics have suggested or outright stated that The Source, The Light of Creation, Monitor-Mind The Overvoid were born from the Primordial Darkness, thus making them aspects of The Presence that is clearly stated on numerous occasions as the one who brought light into the Primordial Darkness with the words "Let there be light!", which gave birth to them. The Light of Creation is associated with Heaven, Angels and Creation, and is a force of nature in contrast to the Great Darkness. The Source is associated with Life, Magic and Creation, and is an ocean of great creative energy that originates, lives in, and sustains all things in existence. Monitor-Mind The Overvoid is associated with The Light of Creation and is the non-dual intelligence and living void with the Multiverse growing inside it.
