** Before that, even, Orel adopted this attitude for one episode when he learns about God's omnipresence. Granted, he still acted a lot nicer than most people who fall under this trope, but still, he ''did'' pull the plug on an old lady (who, to be fair, was a DeathSeeker).

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' plays this straight with Graviton and the Leader. But subverted with Thor, since he is the real deal though Hawkeye ("Thor is crazy") and possibly Ironman ("Thor's probably off in Fantasyland") believe he is delusional.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Tabula Rasa", after beating all the members of the League and gaining their powers, the antagonist android AMAZO decides there's no challenge left for him on Earth and simply leaves to travel the universe. He eventually returns to Earth in ''Justice League Unlimited'' and helps the League on several occasions.

* Beast-Era Megatron, starting in the GrandFinale of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''. After discovering his G1 namesake's old flagship, the Nemesis, he starts raining fire on the landscape while quoting the Covenant of Primus, which is the closest thing we've seen to a [[RobotReligion Cybertronian Bible]]. He clearly considered himself to be god-''like'' throughout ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''. In the last couple of episodes, he started raving about actually becoming one - [[NearVillainVictory and he nearly did, too]].
** In ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'', Megatron sought the series' {{Plot Coupon}}s in order to become a god. Starscream wanted this power for himself, which was what led him to betray Megatron. Successfully, too; an EnemyCivilWar resulted. As a result of their progress towards godhood, the final battle between Starscream and [[MidSeasonUpgrade Galvatron]] caused further damage to the fabric of reality.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Admiral Zhao launches into a particularly [[LargeHam hammy]] example of this in the first season finale:
-->'''Zhao''': I am... a ''legend'' now. The Fire Nation will for generations tell stories about the great Zhao, who darkened the moon! They will call me Zhao the Conqueror! Zhao the ''Moon Slayer''! Zhao, the ''INVINCIBLE''!
** Let's not forget about [[EvilOverlord Fire Lord Ozai's]] abdication of the Fire Nation throne to become the self-styled "Phoenix King":
--> '''Ozai''': "Fire Lord Ozai is no more. Just as the world will be reborn in fire, I shall be reborn as the supreme ruler of the world. From this moment on, I will be known as the ''Phoenix King''!"
* Willow, a villain in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', invokes this after stealing a magic hammer.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' at the end of Fatherklok, Skwisgaar declares himself a god, though it's unclear as to whether he's a god, the son of a god, or just being his usual egomaniac self.
** Though the description of guitar god is an undisputed one.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''
** A villain becomes this when he dons a talisman which grants him the form and powers of Anubis, the Egyptian deity of the dead. He even said in his own words "I AM ALL POWERFUL!". At least until he [[YoureNothingWithoutYourPhlebotinum lost his talisman]].
** Interestingly, Ron Stoppable might've reached a level close to this in the GrandFinale when he called upon the mystical energies he's had in him ever since the third episode of the series to take down the aliens that not even Kim and Shego could stop.
* In the "Cartoon Wars" episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', Cartman thinks he's managed to pull ''FamilyGuy'' off the air:
--> "I did it! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I...am...GOD!]]"
** He also proclaims "I am God of the sea people" but is later told that ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' already did it and that was a ShoutOut to ''Series/TheTwilightZone''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Bender becomes a god to the Shrimpkins he picks up while floating through space. It didn't last long or end well.
** He also became Pharaoh of an ancient Egypt-style planet; since pharaohs are viewed as gods...
* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' plays this straight with Graviton and the Leader. But subverted with Thor, since he is the real deal though Hawkeye ("Thor is crazy") and possibly Ironman ("Thor's probably off in Fantasyland") believe he is delusional.
* ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' has a darker version of this in the form of Miss Censordoll, who had her sexual organs surgically removed as an infant. Due to her immaculacy she believes that she is a physical god.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', all of the problems in the series related to Nanites can be traced back to the Consortium's desire to play God with a bunch of special Nanites that grant control over the fundamental forces of the universe and the desperate measures the scientists in charge of the Nanite project took to keep that power away from them. [[spoiler:Namely, ''triggering the Nanite event'']].
** [[spoiler: Rex becomes one in the final episode, but deactivates it after curing all [=EVOs=].]]
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' never says this exactly, but [[AntiVillain Ramsees]] repeatedly refers to himself as "the morning and the evening star," pointing to the fact that as Pharaoh, he is supposed to be a god incarnate. A major theme is [[ProdigalHero Moses]] trying to make him realize that there is, in fact, [[{{God}} a force]] more powerful than his own decrees.
* One episode in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has Peter proclaiming that he has divine healing powers that cured Chris of his cancer (the two of them are in cahoots). This causes the townspeople to believe Peter to be a god and Peter then starts acting like he is God until the real God starts to punish the family until Peter stops with his shenanigans.
