If you read the previous posts, you would have seen why I stated that the Presence was stronger than the Overvoid, although I admit that I drew from Vertigo material, which may or may not be invalid when discussing the DC Universe.

The Overvoid is indeed the page, but there are beings that appear on the page that are stronger than the page itself. A perfect example is the Writer. The Writer himself appears on the page many times. Does that make the Writer less than the Overvoid, just because he appears within the Overvoid? No.

The same can be said of characters drawn by the Writer, if the Writer intends them to be stronger than the Overvoid. Although this quote is drawn from Vertigo's Lucifer (so it may be invalid), but Lucifer referred to the Void as being merely "a canvas", to do with as he pleases. Because he possessed the Demiurgic power to create things from the Void. It is similar to the Writer.

Now, because this is Vertigo material, it may be a moot point, which renders my earlier statements invalid. However, the point I want to make clear is that characters drawn by the Writer can actually be stronger than the Overvoid. It does make sense that an omnipotent Writer can create entities that possess more power than the Overvoid.

Another thing I should add is that the Overvoid is not really the White Page. It's thoughts are drawn with ink, symbolising consciousness. Both of which the True White Page lacks. It is actually a character drawn by the Writer, just like any other DC character.
