    The Presence

    Character » The Presence appears in 85 issues.

    The Presence, otherwise known as the God of the Covenant, sometimes called Yahweh. He is the creator and the God of the DC universe, though he's more often spoken of than actually seen.

    Is the Presence evil?

    I saw this scan of the Presence and must say that he is one creepy-ass, senile-looking mofo! I don't read a lot of Vertigo so I don't know if there were other factors involved in this, but is he evil? Because it looks like he's eating an angel he just killed.

    I think the above situation was, later in the story, explained to be some manner of illusion, or dream or whatever.  Don't recall exactly though.

    If the Presence was evil he would have destroyed the entire DC omniverse by now if not years ago.

    I don't think that guy is the Presence, if you want to know what the Presence looks like heres a picture of him here

    Well, his opposite is the Great Evil Beast, so I believe the answer would be no. Evil is all a matter of perspective though.

    ... Given the most recent Lucifer comics?

    Yeah, he is most definitely evil.

    That scan is actually from Spectre #61 in which the spectre is confronted with how he pictures God and realizes the error in his perception. So that scan is actually not of the presence

    The Presence is not evil. However, The Presence did absorb GEB but other than that, it is not evil.
