Well even if you change something from an omnipotent being's past to kill him, that being can undo it before completely disappearing, repeating the cycle/loop over and over. I think in terms of power, omnipotent beings are equal.

Based on the name itself Omni and Potence. Omnipotence means being capable of doing anything (omni + potens). It does not mean that a being is immortal or invincible. You're conflating powers with abilities. Isnt İmmortality a power ?

Cant you destroy manhattan by  destroying Jon Osterman before the accident? What good would destroying Jon Osterman do, when Doctor Manhattan's existence does not depend on him? The moment he was born, his connection to what we perceive as time was severed. That's why he was able to destroy entire timelines without repercussions.

As for immortality, I think it's more of an ability than a power.
