If yes, isn't that a bit perverse? If no, doesn't that mean that he's not allmighty?

Aha!
That's the very same question I often ask people. The answer (which is quite unsatisfactory) is two fold.
First response is that God has always existed. Maybe that's just too infinite an answer for me, but it seems that the laws of the universe dictate a beginning and an end.
The second response when I keep probing isn't really an answer at all. "You need to have faith". Sounds more like the 'cop-out' answer when they just don't know an answer.
My theory, if I were to agree to the whole deity issue, is that he was spontaneously created by the universe itself. It's the only way it could have happened since there needs to be a beginning and if there is a God, then God would have had to be AT the beginning in order to keep his namesake.
However, this being the case, then God is a part of the universe and science and is therefore subject to the same laws. What THAT means, I'm still pondering.

If yes, that is not perverse. If no, He is still almighty. This question only bothers us because of our three-dimensional line of reasoning. If you can answer which comes first the egg or the hen, then you are ready to accept the answer to your question. The teacher appears when the student is ready.

God has no beginning and no end. He created time as a function of our universe, and is not bound by it's rules. Therefore, you cannot go back to a point in time when there was no God. Hence, God needs no creator.

No, He describes himself as "I am." The first and last, alpha omega. He's always existed, and always will exist.
See, it's like a wacky atheist's belief that alien's created life, and then aliens created those aliens, and THOSE aliens were created by other aliens..
Except with the supernatural, you CAN have something that's outside the boundaries of our understanding. So it works, see?

How does the fact that he didn't created himself mean that he is not almighty?

No! because he always existed. Everything that was made was made by him. How can the thing made question the one that made him or allowed him to be made
