No, you can't. Also to put that power in context use of that ability takes time to build up to AND it's potentially lethal or can leave the character without the power of APS: Fire and cause insanities from the loss. The character CANNOT go around unleashing 10,000 damage fireballs at will or one right after the other, it's a majorly debilitating thing you don't use cavalierly if you want to still have a character to play.
If I'm in a fight with God, I don't think "This move might kill me" will come into play. Because God might kill me. Your point is devoid of meaning when both options are DIE. Sure it takes time to build. that's why I have Intangibility to prevent MOST forms of damage while I wait it out, or invisibility and hide, it has a 100 ft. radius. There are plenty of ridiculous options because Super Powers are ridiculous and poorly written.
Stop moving the goalposts around and trying to compare different things as if they were the same. First, if you're fighting a god then either you've got a killer GM or you've a tough party or some REALLY bad luck and clearly you need the firepower if you've any hope to survive. All your example does is point to why the character SHOULD have the power as he's clearly going up against a major threat and needs all the help he can get to survive or at least heroically sacrifice himself to save the rest of his party as they flee. It doesn't sound like you've any clue at all how any of those powers work or why none of them are such slam dunk 'unstoppable' powers as you keep making them out to be.
