** [[OmnicidalManiac Abraxas, refered to as embodiments of destruction and an antithesis of Eternity; and Mikaboshi, as chaos, void, and nothingness, and also an antithesis of Eternity]]. [[FanWank Although technically]] [[RunningTheAsylum those positions were already taken by]] [[AntropomorphicPersonification Death, Entropy, Chaos, and Oblivion]].

** The Living Tribunal, who in theory is supposed to act as the entity's GuardianOfTheMultiverse enforcer and highest judge of law, but generally stands by even in times of multiversal genocide, according to SheHulk is gladly willing to wipe out entire universes in favour of ones that it simply likes better, and enforces the HighOctaneNightmareFuel DisproportionateRetribution EasyRoadToHell afterlife system. Of course, this is likely partially to avoid DeusExMachina narration, but still ends up as an UnfortunateImplications CosmicHorrorStory.

** The Cosmic Cubes ([[IHaveManyNames The Beyonder/Kosmos/The Maker]], Kubik, The Shaper Of Worlds) who are created by entities outside the normal universe (The Beyonders) as a way to understand our reality.

** The higher forms of extradimensional divinities, such as [[CthulhuMythos Shuma-Gorath]], [[MultiversalConqueror Dormammu]], or [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness the]] [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse Vishanti]].

** Quasar once met Anthropomorpho the living incarnation of the idea of having living incarnations of abstract concepts. Seriously.

* MarvelComics [[RunningTheAsylum may be the "king" of this trope]], [[FantasyPantheon as it has introduced dozens of entities over the years]], [[RunningTheAsylum with highly shifting or conflicting definitions and relationships to each other]]. This has recurrently lead to {{fanon}} [[OurGodsAreGreater dedication, selective favorism, and speculation]]. Many of these beings are AnthropomorphicPersonifications of natural forces, or granted OmniscientMoralityLicense for narrative purposes. These include, but are definitely not limited to:

This has recurrently lead to {{fanon}} [[OurGodsAreGreater dedication, selective favorism, and speculation]]. Many of these beings are AnthropomorphicPersonifications of natural forces that operate on a level so far beyond humans they are often considered AboveGoodAndEvil. Others are so alien to human thought processes that they follow a BlueAndOrangeMorality if [[TrueNeutral morality applies at all]]. This includes, but is definitely not limited to:

*** During a "tour of cosmic entities" given by Thor to the reader during a CrisisCrossover, Thor ends with, "And consider how powerful these are - how much more powerful and glorious must their creator be?" There have been assorted other circumventional allusions to something vaguely reminiscent of the Judeo-Christian image of God over the years, but never confirmed to be the same entity or something different all together.
*** One of the possible explanations of The One Above All is that it's the representation of the writers of Marvel Comic books.
** [[AnthropomorphicPersonification The Living Tribunal]], who acts as the entity's enforcer. It represents some form of cosmic justice and balance as stated in official material, but works on a multiversal with rules that have never been explained. It won't hesitate to destroy an entire universe if it is deemed to be a threat to others. It's offical job is to be the GuardianOfTheMultiverse, but often it is just a DeusExMachina.

** [[ThePhoenix The Phoenix Force]], alternately the embodiment of life and rebirth,the potential psionic energy of all living beings, or both.
