The Presence is the DC comics version of the Judeo-Christian God.

This ambiguity lowers The Presence’s ranking as it is generally credited with the creation of only one universe (DC), thus it may or may not be the original creator.
More specifically: The Brothers, Eternity, Death, Infinity, Lord Chaos, Master Order etc.
