* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Although Lestat de Lioncourt is [[HollywoodAtheist a steadfast atheist]], he regards vampires --- who are immortal beings with superpowers -- as god-like. He attempts to impart this belief to his fledgling Louis de Pointe du Lac in "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E2AfterThePhantomsOfYourFormerSelf ...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self]]".
-->'''Lestat''': If you'd listen to me, if you finally submit to your nature, you will be filled, Louis, with all the life you can hold. You will see death in all its beauty, life as it is only known at the very point of the death. You alone, of all creatures, can see death with that impunity. You alone, under the rising moon... can strike like the hand of God.

* ''Series/IClaudius'': There's a variant [[TruthInTelevision mirroring real life]] when [[TheCaligula Caligula]] declares himself to be a god; however, in Caligula's case there were no GreenRocks or [[TouchedByVorlons Vorlons]] -- his declaration is caused solely because he is, at that point, ''absolutely barking mad''. Some Roman emperors were deified ''after death'' -- the last words of Vespasian were, "Alas, I am becoming a god" -- so Caligula was jumping the gun a bit. (Deification even after death was in real life somewhat rare: among others, Tiberius and Nero were not deified after death - and neither was Caligula. His pre-death self-deification was also quietly shelved in Claudius's time.) "And his sister's become a goddess. Any questions?"
