I need a noun that means 'one who is omnipotent' that doesn't have any religious connections. (so not 'god')

Thanks

You can use omnipotent as a noun (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=omnipotent&book=Dictionary [Broken]). If you don't want it to mean God, I wouldn't capitalize it. If that doesn't sound right, you could say omnipotent being. I don't know of another word meaning omnipotent, sorry.
