Maybe he wants to conquer the universe. Maybe he wants to [[OmnicidalManiac kill everyone in it]]. Maybe he just [[PlanetEater eats planets]]. Whatever he does, he'll be crazy-mad [[PhysicalGod powerful]], so it's going to take a whole [[HeroesUnlimited boatload of heroes]] to take him down.

** He tries to do it again in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''. [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin Guess what]] FailureistheOnlyOption happens next.]]

* Bowser aspires to be a universe conquerer in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. He fails.

* ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'s'' Giygas was this in the [[VideoGame/{{Mother1}} prequel]], before he became an EldritchAbomination.

** [[spoiler:The ending of ''ComicBook/HaloEscalation'' #6 reveals that at least one unconstrained Flood infection form roaming aboard the abandoned UNSC ''[[HaloWars Spirit of Fire]]'' as it's heading straight into a planet.]]

* The Gravemind and its Flood forces in ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}''. According to its words, the Flood had already conquered a galaxy "of flesh and bones" and now were planning on conquering the next one. They had problems with that when the Forerunners used all of their highly advanced technology and all of their courage in a attempt to stop the Flood...[[HeroicSacrifice only to sacrifice themselves and all sentient life in a effort to starve them to death]]. 100,000 years later, the Gravemind is back in the game but was again defieded, this time by the Humans and the Covenant, who even decided to [[EnemyMine put all their differences aside until the Gravemind and its forces were gone]]. That would be difficult since the Gravemind claims that its death would be nothing more than a setback and the Flood will win in the long term.
** The ending to Halo3 just about confirms that [[spoiler:the Gravemind and the Flood threat are gone. It consolidated all of its forces on the Ark and the second Installation 4, which Master Chief and the Arbiter have all but destroyed]].
*** [[spoiler:Or is it? In ''Origins II'', it seems that the Flood still exist after the battle of Installation 04 (II) but now are too weak to do anything]].
**** [[spoiler:The Flood is never too weak to do anything.]]

* Subverted ''and'' played straight with Emperor Zhark in the ''Literature/ThursdayNext'' series. In his book series he regularly destroys and enslaves whole worlds. In person he's a pretty nice guy, though he does tend to overreact a bit, like responding to a shoot out in a Western book by deploying {{Space Marine}}s.

** The former Wraith named "Michael" became such a threat in his own right in the later seasons. After he started his Hybrid project he started lusting for power for its own sake. His end goal became to supplant both humans and Wraith with his Hybrid minions by annihilating everything else.

* Anubis in ''Series/StargateSG1''. As well as the Ori, who have already conquered one galaxy.
** The Wraith from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' also count, although they don't so much rule as they do ''[[ToServeMan feed]]''.
*** Also, the Wraith do a lot of fighting amongst themselves, on account of there not being enough food to go around. Thus, no one person (or hive queen) actually controls their galaxy.

* The aptly-named Sailor Galaxia from ''Manga/SailorMoon''. No points for guessing what is [[EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse that last planet]] she needs to conquer to complete her quest.

* The Master in ''Series/DoctorWho''.
** And Davros, who nearly achieved in [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]]/"Journey's End".

** Mongul (both of them) fits it to a T.

-->-- ''[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} Bloodquest]]'', ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}}''

* Horde Prime from ''SheRa''; somewhat unusual in that he has in fact already conquered the galaxy in question.

* ''SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' have a few:

** N-Ma from ''MahouSentaiMagiranger'', who became The Master in ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce''.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'': [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination The Reapers]]]] are an interesting variation of this. [[spoiler:In a way, they already control the galaxy, as it is a gigantic coral where they alow humanoid races to develop and return to harvest them every 50,000 years. The entire ancient network of self-repairing hyperspace jumpgates and the gargantuan space station at its center, and most of the highly advanced technology found in ancient ruins was made by them for the sole purpose of creating new galactic civilizations that provide exactly what they need.]]

** And Davros.

* The Holy Nightmare Corporation, the BigBad of the ''{{Kirby}}'' [[KirbyOfTheStars anime]], is [[InformedAbility stated]] to have ''already'' successfully conquered the universe and defeated at least one major [[LaResistance resistance movement]]... but a KidHero is shaping up to take them down.

** Javik is a WellIntentionedExtremist version of this. The plan was to get a million protheans to survive the Reaper Harvest by hiding in stasis, then force the primitive races into servitude against the Reapers. Unfortunately, that plan got royally screwed.

**** [[spoiler:The Flood [[NightmareFuel is never too weak to do anything.]]]]
