* [[BigBad Hao Asakura]] has become the lowest example of this in ShamanKing before the heroes even meet him. His control over reincarnation, connection to the Spirit of Fire, and centuries of experience mean he's basically unbeatable from the get-go, with the next-best shamans being as nothing in comparison to his power. In a setting where resurrecting a dead person is possible, if draining, for the very powerful, Hao can perform mass resurrections after single-handedly defeating an entire human navy supplemented by powerful shamans. The plan to defeat Hao is to let him win the tournament and gang up on him with the five OlympusMons elemental spirits while he can't fight back, but the heroes admit even this is fairly unlikely to work. [[spoiler: When Hao awakens as Shaman King, he's ''literally'' omnipotent and kills the entire cast with a thought as he prepares to reshape the world to better please himself; fortunately, Yoh expected something like this would happen when he realized even if they ''were'' strong enough to win, the heroes would never be able to end the threat Hao presents with violence. Instead, the entire cast appears within Hao's mind and manage to avert the extinction of ordinary humans by reasoning with Hao instead of trying to overpower him.]]

* In Heir to the Stars: Overture by Lionel Suggs, there are more than a few of these types of beings in the story. There are several of characters that are the Be-All, End-All of levels of existence.
