I just have to say that I do not believe that the Divine Creator and the One Above All should be the same thing. This is why I believe with my reasoning which I will present would elude to a profile separation and a new one for the Divine Creator.
The creator of the character is J.M. DeMatteis and he has been adamant when it comes to his “God” characters to which the Divine Creator is. As he states he sees God as something that surpasses and contains everyone including the Void(Oblivion) and all of those are illusion and he embodies the true reality beyond everything. This is important because the major elements of these concept comes into full effect in the stories. For one that means God does not have a limit which the One Above All sort of does as it’s the limit of understand to the Defenders. This means that the world of action that he resides in the Four World Cosmology would only pertain to the Assiyah hierarchy which is the first emanation layer of the Four Worlds and he sits at the top of that lower hierarchy. This is evident as Cloud states that even through the door to Godhood, there still is no end which refers to the Never Queen statement the Mystery to uncovers the veils that hid God face(major element in Kabbalah) is infinite.
So these reasons aren’t necessarily the biggest contributing factors. However, given God only knows of love and the One Above All can rage and transform into the One Below All in rage to “destroy” kind of defeats what Matteis intend with God in his story. The only time Matteis even mentions of the name “One Above All” is when fans keep asking if they were the same. The only criteria he mentions it to be the case was when the One Above All was treated as this Omnipotent ineffable being that we thought was unsurpassable but this no longer is the case. God is behind, beyond, and within all things in Creation which at one time was what the One Above All was but clearly is no longer the case, if ever.
The Divine Creator as a concept is very clear to Matteis Cosmology. He dreamt of everything which is representative of Creation. He dreamed of the Golden Age of Men during the beginningless beginning where all things are brought from the divine imagination of hirself. Which it later dreamed of Creation which from it came duality, the staff of the Creator, and his primordial thoughts/emotions: Fallen Stars. He also based Adam K’ad-Mon, Fallen Star, as the main power behind Man-Thing whom represent the lineage of men who are bound to find their spiritual truth. With Theodore Sallis son named Job Burke had the position of becoming the Divine Dreamer hirself.
Also, Blue Marvel or Adam Brasher being called Adam Kadmon being referred to that by the One Above All has no parallel with Adam K’ad-Mon from Man-Thing and Strange Tales. While the idea they were the blue print to making Creation as the “primordial man” they were two clearly distinct concept for Ewing and Matteis which differentiate even more difference between the two.
This is just to set up a profile for the Divine Creator. The list of feat as well as the character background will be saved for a sandbox which I will pin point in a later thread.
