I mean, who's to say who's a god or demon and who's just a super being from another dimension? What's this shite about Mr. Fantastic and Ivisible Girl going to Heaven to get the Thing back?

A universe where the gods are just more devotional figures with inspirational messages... who can be crushed into atoms by the next interloper from Planet X who happens to gain the power cosmic.
