Simple question, but please see the below rules before responding. Outside of Asgardians and the Greco-Roman deities, who is your favorite god?
The Rules:
1. Can't be a member of the Asgardian/Norse or Greek/Roman pantheon of gods. (Yes, I had to reiterate, just in case.)
2. Must be a hero, or a someone that is portrayed more often than not in a heroic light.
3. Can't be a Cosmic Abstract entity. (Sorry, Master Order fans. That goes double for Mistress Death fans.)
4. Cannot be an Artificial Intelligence-based being, or an inanimate object.
Ready? Set? Go!!!

Anansi is good, yeah. We could use more of him, and I'd also like to see him interact with Bast.

Well, foo. You even said 'Set' in your post, but he's not usually 'portrayed in a heroic light,' even if he used to stand on the sun-barque, spear in hand, defending the sun against the daily attacks by Apep. Originally Posted by JudicatorPrime

Generally, I'm more of a fan of less-nice gods. Set, Sobek, Camazotz, Chernabog, Kali. That and archer gods (Apollo, Artemis, Skadi, Neith, Rudra, etc.)

As a kid I thought Red-Wolf, and by extension Owayadata were pretty cool.

JudicatorPrime i don't like that i'm being denied Mistress Death
but i will give this a little more thought because i don't i know of any deity or god other than the Asgardians and Olympians we already know
Edit After reading some posts all i can say is Unfortunately i'm woefully unknowledgeable generally on god pantheons
I'm one and I don't consider Storm a deity or a Goddess. Originally Posted by BlkGldBlu

Between Snowbird, St. Elmo and the Great Beasts (one of which, Tanaraq, had more or less been the power behind the hero Sasquatch), those Canuck gods are one of the more active Marvel 'pantheons!' Originally Posted by shooshoomanjoe
