Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Marvel did the same. If I recall, he's classified as a mutant and is practically in a power level all to himself.

Dresden Files books do something similar, only with magic/fairies/Old Gods instead of mutants. When it's not Christmas, Santa's just a bitter old demigod who participates in the Wild Hunt for fun and attends parties of the Unseelie/Winter Fae

The figure of Santa originated from Odin. To make the figure a demi god it makes it a demotion.

Now that I'm recalling the books, he is revealed to be Odin at a later point. Or, at least, nobody saw him and Odin in the same room

Legally they're two separate entities, cause as Odin Mab would have to wait at his pleasure but as Kringle she outranks him.
