Quis ut Deus?

", is a literal translation of the name Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל, transliterated Micha'el or Mîkhā'ēl).

[1][2] In art, St. Michael is often represented as an angelic warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword, and shield, as he overcomes Satan, sometimes represented as a dragon and sometimes as a man-like figure.

The shield at times bears the inscription: Quis ut Deus,[3] the translation of the archangel's name, but capable also of being seen as his rhetorical and scornful question to Satan.

[4] The Scapular of St. Michael the Archangel also bears this phrase.
