The 25 most badass movie gods

6. God - Bruce Almighty (2003)

The Movie God: With a minimalist approach to deity fashion, Morgan Freemans zen God prefers to keep it simple. You still wouldnt want to cross him though.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: Bestowing one of his biggest critics with all of his power. Just to prove a point.

5. Thor - The Marvel Cinematic Universe (2011-)

The Movie God: The rippling muscles, the golden locks... no, not Dolph Lundgren in Masters Of The Universe. The son of Asgards throne-warmer, Thor.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: When he recalls his noble qualities, strengths and all-around smashing blokeness to retrieves his trusty axe, Mjolnir from the crater.

4. Zuul - Ghostbusters (1984)

The Movie God: Aka the Gatekeeper of Gozer, Zuul is a demigod capable of bodysnatching delectable humans (the classical musician, Dana Barrett) before shapeshifting into a slobbering, red-eyed hell hound.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: To the amusement of Peter Venkman, Zuul (in Danas body) levitates above the bed, growling and snapping like a dog tethered to a balloon.

3. God - Super (2010)

The Movie God: A nerdy-yet-serious deity, this God (voiced by Rob Zombie) did his homework before appearing in James Gunns superhero caper. The white beard is ditched in favour of a clutch of tentacles any B-movie monster would be proud to own.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: His powers unable to penetrate the bumbling Frank (Rainn Wilson) through mental persuasion, God treats the poor mans house like a can of tuna, tearing off the roof and plunging his purple wigglies into the mans brain.

2. Loki - The Marvel Cinematic Universe (2011-)

The Movie God: The charming, exotic Asgardian god of mischief, Loki. Adopted by Odin as his son and brother to Thor, Lokis alliances are never what they seem.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: Thor returns to Asgard at the end of Thor: The Dark World to inform his father, Odin, of Lokis selfless death and his own refusal to sit on the throne.

As Thor turns to leave, the figure on the throne transforms into a grinning, wicked Loki.

1. Gozer - Ghostbusters (1984)

The Movie God: An androgynous deity, Gozer the Destructor possesses more sobriquets than Daenerys Targeryean. But well stick to Gozer the Destructor.

Worshipped by a cult of Mesapotamian and Sumerian followers in 6000 BC, Gozer is brought to Earth after two minions, the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster, successfully unite and complete the summoning ritual The fresh-off-the-hell-boat Gozer appears to the Ghostbusters as a nimble, little minx.

Most Bad-Ass Moment: In a fight to the death, Gozer tricks the Ghostbusters into selecting the form of their chosen fighter--the menacing Stay Puft marshmallow man.
