| rdfs:comment | - A specific type of The Reveal that deals with God or a similar powerful figure and shows them to have been with the protagonists just about from the beginning. May be especially jarring if it turns out to have been the Non-Human Sidekick or something similar, though usually enough hints are dropped that the Genre Savvy viewer can figure it out beforehand... most of the time. The opposite of this trope is the Louis Cypher. Compare Pals with Jesus, Angel Unaware and King Incognito. If they're shown to be there from the get go, it's Sidekick Ex Machina. Compare Fairy Godmother.

| abstract | - A specific type of The Reveal that deals with God or a similar powerful figure and shows them to have been with the protagonists just about from the beginning. May be especially jarring if it turns out to have been the Non-Human Sidekick or something similar, though usually enough hints are dropped that the Genre Savvy viewer can figure it out beforehand... most of the time. If the protagonists are upset by the fact that the God figure didn't use their powers to help them earlier, a Hand Wave of "You Didn't Ask!" combined with having to maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil is often used. If God doesn't seem to do any miracles, but somehow nudged events anyways, He's working In Mysterious Ways. The opposite of this trope is the Louis Cypher. Compare Pals with Jesus, Angel Unaware and King Incognito. If they're shown to be there from the get go, it's Sidekick Ex Machina. Compare Fairy Godmother. Sub-Trope of Secret Identity. Due to the nature of this Trope, massive unmarked spoilers ahead. Examples of God Was My Co-Pilot include:
