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.

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.

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.
