It may be called "In-Universe", but it's not Omnipotence if it's limited to  particular Verse. Suggsverse was interesting to read, but that is just matter of opinion. Omnipotent, I just explained to you why fictional omnipotence can't extend beyond a particular Verse. You didn't even try to refute my argument, you just sidestepped the point and said "Yeah, no, you're wrong", while repeating the same thing you said above. It has been agreed upon by almost everyone that fictional omnipotence is limited, in a metafictional manner (not a true manner), to the Verse that said omnipotent is set in. Any attempts at transfictional omnipotence have been entirely piss-poor. Even if a comptent author pullled it off, anyone with half a mind would notice how asinine the concept of transfictional omnipotence is (including the works that they are breaking the copyright and laws of; the lawsuits would be real) and call them out on it.

And besides, you need to take the concept of Omnipotence and just metafictionally limit it to a fictional Verse. Their only restrictions being metafictional, they can do whatever they please, omnipotent in every sense of the word in that Verse. Only thing more powerful than an omnipotent being is the author, seeing as how the author was the one who created this omnipotent being (technically speaking) and could literally erase it from existence without a second thought. You need to accept this fact. Because yes, this is a fact of every Verse with an omnipotent being that is not an author avatar. TOAA? Doesn't exist unless the writers at Marvel deem so (Yeah, TOAA isn't canon anymore. There goes the omnipotent being). Hell, TOAA didn't even exist until recently (relatively speaking, that is). The Presence? Doesn't exist unless the writers deem so. See how they are controled by the whims of the writers? Still omnipotent, just fictional. And that's what omnipotence is, fictional. No proof that it exists or whatsoever. Why? Because it's fundamentally impossible, the pinnacle of power. Why do you think that the Abrahamic religions have an omnipotent deity? To be seen as the best and most powerful, thereby attracting worshipers, but I digress.

And aren't you the one that claimed to know what true omnipotence is? Sounds like an argument from authority. For one, no one has truly grasped the concept of omnipotence entirely. Literally, no one. If they have, why haven't they written a paper on it to enlighten the rest of the world? There are several paradoxes surrounding omnipotence, paradoxes that make it impossible for someone to completely grasp the concept. "To be able to do anything and everything" is the closest humanity is going to get in understanding omnipotence.
