1. The one you see in the mirror.
2. None, since they take after you.
3. None
4. Marathon
5. One family pack of fish-fingers, so that's 20.
6. You mean, how many cats own you.
7. A thorn
8. Yesterday
9. Your best friend. Oh wait, you said how, not who.
10. Pretty ugly, so maybe the kids take after her as well.

Towr. Until now, you've been like a demigod, or, at least, you were exactly that to me. But, it is infinitely clear to me, now, that even You are prone to errors.
Wrong on all counts!
Just try again! And thanks for participating.

No, no. The important difference is that one does not own cats. Cats own you.

A similar and not so similar hint: Consider everything (that's everything) that was WRITTEN in the (opening) post!
The riddles are quite unorthodox. I give you that. Perhaps even questionable? But I reckon, I am . . . original.

Wow! Right on all counts! How did you know?! (I've deleted the spoiler.)
Still, Your answer to the 1st riddle, although fine, 'tis not quite the one I am after. It concerns somebody a lot more powerful, a lot more mighty.

"There can be only one." Highlander, anyone? Let the mentioned belief be your clue and a guiding star towards the remaining solution.
Actually, I am restless. The answer is: God. There is only "one" God.
Bravo Grimbal! Nine out of ten!
