"His psychic power was so great that its energies altered his genome and physiology in the womb and rendered him immortal so he would no longer need to reincarnate and could not be assaulted by the daemonic creatures of the Immaterium upon his death. " (Pulled from the Emperor_of_Mankind page of this Wiki. )

He could come back, no problem, if the above is true.

The star child theory has no merit, especially with GW including the Immortals in the lore. Look above, that quote is proof enough. He would be protected if he DIED!

The Emperor is also not all powerful, he is holding back the beasts from the Golden Doors, but what about the Malestrom, and the Eye? If he was all powerful, he would have sealed those already, making it impossible for the Chaos forces to assail the Imperials so directly.

The Emperor cannot defeat the warp. It's not possible unless he lobotomizes 'the entire human race. 'The Chaos Gods are the resonance of the entirety of human civilization's collective psyche (feelings) in the warp. Their power stays constant and grows with the increasing population of humanity.

The Emperor made a really, really bad decision then. He got so removed from humanity that even though countless Astartes and Imperials dies because of Horus' command, he still thought he could save him? Really? With the overpowering intelect that the Emperor has, he can't see when someone is so corrupt they cannot be saved? That's pretty damn blind. (Sorry mods...)
