God-man
Deity in flesh
God-man refers to a being who is both fully divine and fully human.
The term appears most often in Christian theology to describe Jesus Christ, whose nature as simultaneously God and man is central to orthodox doctrine: The council affirmed Christ as the God-man, two natures in one person.
Outside theology, god-man may describe any mythological figure combining divine and mortal qualities.
