Random encounter. Genie is at his strongest level.
Q vs. Genie
@transcendence No he's not.
Prove me wrong, then.
@transcendence: Easy. He is limited to a lamp and must grant his master's wishes. In other words, he has no free will. Omnipotents aren't limited.

To be fair, the OP said at their most powerful. And at his most powerful, Genie was freed from his lamp and his limitations as a Genie.
In theory, he could at that point be omnipotent.

@jmarshmallow: Even if Genie was freed from the lamp, the fact remains that he can/was only freed through someone else's desire to do so. He isn't omnipotent nor was it ever implied he was. He's simply a magical reality warper; there are tons of those.

The fact that he could grant ANY wish makes him omnipotent, with the only limitation being that he needed someone to wish it.
When he no longer had that limitation, there's really nothing holding him back from being an omnipotent being.

Reality Warpers are just under Omnipotents. Genie wins.
@transcendence: I never said he doesn't win. I just said he isn't omnipotent. @jmarshmallow: I really doubt he is omnipotent, but suit yourself.

Well alright mate.

So you're trying to say omnipotents don't exist in fiction and that they are only high tier magical reality warpers?
@transcendence: I never said that. There are plenty of omnipotents (e.g. TOAA, MoM, LoN, Kami Tenchi, Medaka, Azathoth, ect.) However, genie isn't one of them. He is just a magically powered reality warper (like Mr. Mxyzptlk or House of M Scarlet Witch) with feats that are planetary at best.
