I think one of the best movie answers to this caller's question was the Shyamalan trilogy that ended in "Glass". If the god walked among us, but didn't know it, and a few people DID know it, THIS is what well might happen. Compare also to "Methusela's Children" by Heinlein.

Mighty Mouse has nothing like Popeye's twister punch, for instance. I don't think Mighty Mouse can punch via telephone or radio like Popeye either.
