Are there any fictional characters more powerful than Maxwell from Scribblenauts?

He can create a time machine, black holes, death, war, and literally create and kill God. Am I wrong for saying he's the most powerful character?

There's numerous characters that can create stuff from thin air. You can't compare power levels across franchises that are very different from one another (Superman vs Goku type stuff barely works).

  You can if you're having fun.
  Supes would absolutely smoke Goku, btw.
  
  Sure, for fun. Most people starting this kind of discussion seem to be looking for definitive answers though.
  
  They're both insanely overpowered, but while Goku can literally smash the universe, Superman can destroy the multiverse.
Q from star trek?
- But how?
  
  Maxwell's powers are limited by what he can describe with written language and the speed at which Maxwell can do so. Q's powers are effectively similar but seemingly without either limitation.
  
  Can do the same and more.
God from the bible has more or less the same abilities, but is also omnipresent.
- Omniscient and omnipotent.
  If God existed, I kinda imagine he'd be like end-game Dr. Manhattan. Which was probably the message, but explained really well through the journey.
  But, OTOH, if God did exist, it'd have infinite capacity to have infinite care and consideration for every quark. Unlike Dr. Manhatten, it could just choose to care, choose to limit the effects of being omniscient. Dr. Manhattan was as much a victim of his powers and, obviously, unable or unwilling to control their effects on him. He could fork off instances of himself, but he couldn't resist the ennui of inevitability. He was a puppet of fate, and was aware of that. By definition, God is omnipotent, and therefore would be unbound by those limitations.

- Popeye
Dr. Manhattan.

Alan Wake seems to command reality far more profoundly than Maxwell, though “Alan’s” powers come with a caveat; His writing needs to make for a gripping story.
