* ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}'':
** Braniac-5 pre-Crisis. After being driven mad, he wanted to destroy the entire universe, and stole the Miracle Machine that could do ''anything'' the user could envision. He could have easily destroyed the Earth, or even several planets of similar size, but he couldn't envision destruction on the grandiose scale he wanted. So he used the Machine to create something that could, [[TheJuggernaut the unstoppable]] [[ThePowerOfHate embodiment of hate]], [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Omega]]. Had this beast actually reached the Machine (and the Legion could do little to even slow it down) Braniac-5's plan would have succeeded; they foiled it when Matter-Eater Lad destroyed the Machine by eating it, [[HeroicSacrifice but was driven insane in the process.]]
** The Legion's foe Time Trapper has their desires and motivations subject to change alongside their mutable identity but at points, such as in ''ComicBook/CosmicBoy'', their goal is the erasure of all time between the entropy at the end of the universe they're a [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personification of]] and that which came before, thereby erasing everything and everyone who has or ever will exist.
* ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'': Fenris the Wolf is Destruction personified (and likely an aspect of Destruction of the Endless). His goal is to destroy Creation by attacking the seat of God in Heaven. Lucifer stands in his way.
** Fenris is assisted in his endeavor to end all of creation by the gods [[TheTrickster Abonsam]] and Bet Jo'gie. Abonsam infused with the essence of Fenris willingly gave his life to perform his greatest trick and ultimately dooming [[WorldTree Yggdrasil]]. Bet fails in her attempt to seduce [[AxCrazy Charlie]] and dies by his hands.
** The [[SapientShip Barrowjane]] Conspirators to destroy Creation, dethrone God and punish him included [[WomanScorned Lilith]], [[FallenAngel Sandalphon]], [[DimensionalTraveler The Silk Man]] and [[PrimordialChaos Berim from the Jin En Mok]]. All had their own reasons for participating: Lilith wanted vengeance against God and Heaven for casting her out of Eden, Sandalphon wins the victory that was denied to Lucifer, The Silk Man wants his own universe and when creation ends the Jin En Mok will finally be reborn as themselves.

* The [[SinisterMinister Reverend Jeremiah Hatch]] from Franchise/TheDCU. A brilliant student but [[TheMentallyDisturbed mentally unstable]] he was dismissed from seminary and flunked out. He went to Vietnam pretending to be a chaplain. The ugliness of the war he witnessed [[GoMadFromTheRevelation broke him]] and he started hearing a [[HearingVoices malicious voice]]. Jeremiah realized that life is a nightmare from which there is no awakening and he threw away his cross followed by butchering both allies and enemies alike. His new mission is to serve the Almighty by serving his enemy:''"To hasten the corruption,to nurture the foulness until the Almighty has no choice but to rain down fire and brimstone and end the ugliness,the pain, the suffering".'' His [[CorruptPolitician corruption of the Mayor of Hub City]] was to get him into the [[PresidentEvil White House]] and start [[WorldWarIII an apocalyptic war]].
* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' series ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Mr. Mxyzptlk attempts to break down several whole dimensions and reality planes in order to power himself up.
* From the ''Wildstorm'' universe:
** Jenny Fractal is the twin sister of ComicBook/TheAuthority's Jenny Quantum, kidnapped at birth by the Chinese government. [[TykeBomb She was put in an assassin program]] where she was [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil forced to watch humanity's evil deeds: rape, murder, genocide, etc]]... She has the power to fracture/alter reality and wants to use the Earth as the center of a black hole to implode and collapse the entire multiverse. Her reasons for doing this: "It's the only way to save them".
** Winter of ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'' becomes this after he flew an Franchise/{{Alien}}-infested Skywatch space station into the sun to save the world. Being an energy absorber, Winter became one with the sun. Trapped by eternal agony he lures out ComicBook/TheAuthority so they can finally put an end to his life; when it's deemed impossible to kill him without destroying the sun and ending the world, he became enraged. Disgusted by humanity's cruelty, he yells "Your world does not deserve to live" and lashes out. [[spoiler:He's eventually stopped by using the Carrier's technology to seal baby universes and was condemned to burn for billions of years. Later on he's released by the new Doctor and revived in his previous normal state. In the latest ''Stormwatch'' issues it was revealed he still holds some of the sun's power.]]
** "The Man Without Hope" (MWH) comes from the future and with his superior technology he's a match for ComicBook/TheAuthority. The future is grim, blank and full of suffering and he wants to prevent it from happening by ending existence all together. Swift receives knowledge from the mythical "gods" about the dark future and how to prevent it. She mentions how the MWH with all his technology couldn't figure out the problem and fix it. The MWH commits suicide when his plan is ruined by The Authority and a new unknown time line is birthed yet he is still convinced that everyone is screwed. The issue ends with the words "beginning of the end" hinting that the MWH was probably talking about human nature being the problem seeing it's the central theme of the graphic novel, "human on the inside"
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Adjudicator justifies his actions as judgement on the peoples of whatever world he's currently destroying across the multiverse, but he "judges" the planets before sending minions to test the inhabitants of a handful of the representative versions of the planet and that judgement always calls for the destruction of the planet(s) and its/their inhabitants.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Genocide despised sentients, and her goal upon "birth" was the extinction of the human race.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanOdyssey'': Nemesis reasoned that she could only fulfill her purpose by destroying humanity entirely. Given that there are other races capable of committing murder in her universe she would have likely found that her job wasn't yet complete with only humanity destroyed.

* Imperiex, a hive minded mechanical entity, saw its purpose as being the "hollowing" of the universe, destroying the flawed creation and remaking it in a new Big Bang. Ironically, [[spoiler: the flaw it detected in the universe was itself, and a massive cooperative effort managed to throw him into the past where he in fact became the Big Bang in the first place, via a StableTimeLoop, a fact which Imperiex realizes the moment before it dies]].
* While he does not typically fall under this category, ComicBook/TheJoker did, in fact, reach this state during the "ComicBook/EmperorJoker" plotline in the ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' comics, with his reasoning being that a universe that would spawn something as twisted as he was didn't deserve to exist (and besides reality was falling to pieces from the strain anyways). In fact, considering that plot and a number of other situations it could be argued that the only things preventing the Joker from permanently attaining this state are a lack of superpowers and his obsession with Batman.
* Adolf Hitler in ''ComicBook/LastDaysOfTheJusticeSociety'' becomes this near the end of World War II, when he realizes that he and his Nazi forces are near defeat. Using the SpearOfDestiny, Hitler links the fate of the Norse gods' Ragnarok with that of the universe itself, causing everything to go in flames from 1945 onward through a DelayedRippleEffect.
* ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}'':
** Braniac-5 pre-Crisis. After being driven mad, he wanted to destroy the entire universe, and stole the Miracle Machine that could do ''anything'' the user could envision. He could have easily destroyed the Earth, or even several planets of similar size, but he couldn't envision destruction on the grandiose scale he wanted. So he used the Machine to create something that could, [[TheJuggernaut the unstoppable]] [[ThePowerOfHate embodiment of hate]], [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Omega]]. Had this beast actually reached the Machine (and the Legion could do little to even slow it down) Braniac-5's plan would have succeeded; they foiled it when Matter-Eater Lad destroyed the Machine by eating it, [[HeroicSacrifice but was driven insane in the process.]]
** The Legion's foe Time Trapper has their desires and motivations subject to change alongside their mutable identity but at points, such as in ''ComicBook/CosmicBoy'', their goal is the erasure of all time between the entropy at the end of the universe they're a [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personification of]] and that which came before, thereby erasing everything and everyone who has or ever will exist.
* ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'': Fenris the Wolf is Destruction personified (and likely an aspect of Destruction of the Endless). His goal is to destroy Creation by attacking the seat of God in Heaven. Lucifer stands in his way.
** Fenris is assisted in his endeavor to end all of creation by the gods [[TheTrickster Abonsam]] and Bet Jo'gie. Abonsam infused with the essence of Fenris willingly gave his life to perform his greatest trick and ultimately dooming [[WorldTree Yggdrasil]]. Bet fails in her attempt to seduce [[AxCrazy Charlie]] and dies by his hands.
** The [[SapientShip Barrowjane]] Conspirators to destroy Creation, dethrone God and punish him included [[WomanScorned Lilith]], [[FallenAngel Sandalphon]], [[DimensionalTraveler The Silk Man]] and [[PrimordialChaos Berim from the Jin En Mok]]. All had their own reasons for participating: Lilith wanted vengeance against God and Heaven for casting her out of Eden, Sandalphon wins the victory that was denied to Lucifer, The Silk Man wants his own universe and when creation ends the Jin En Mok will finally be reborn as themselves.
* One of the [[MultipleChoicePast four possible backstories]] for ComicBook/ThePhantomStranger given in his issue of "Secret Origins" features a mad scientist from the future who wants to time travel back to the Big Bang and prevent it from effectively occurring. So not only does he want to destroy the universe, he wants to make sure it ''never even existed in the first place.''
* The [[SinisterMinister Reverend Jeremiah Hatch]] from Franchise/TheDCU. A brilliant student but [[TheMentallyDisturbed mentally unstable]] he was dismissed from seminary and flunked out. He went to Vietnam pretending to be a chaplain. The ugliness of the war he witnessed [[GoMadFromTheRevelation broke him]] and he started hearing a [[HearingVoices malicious voice]]. Jeremiah realized that life is a nightmare from which there is no awakening and he threw away his cross followed by butchering both allies and enemies alike. His new mission is to serve the Almighty by serving his enemy:''"To hasten the corruption,to nurture the foulness until the Almighty has no choice but to rain down fire and brimstone and end the ugliness,the pain, the suffering".'' His [[CorruptPolitician corruption of the Mayor of Hub City]] was to get him into the [[PresidentEvil White House]] and start [[WorldWarIII an apocalyptic war]].
* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' series ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Mr. Mxyzptlk attempts to break down several whole dimensions and reality planes in order to power himself up.
* From the ''Wildstorm'' universe:
** Jenny Fractal is the twin sister of ComicBook/TheAuthority's Jenny Quantum, kidnapped at birth by the Chinese government. [[TykeBomb She was put in an assassin program]] where she was [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil forced to watch humanity's evil deeds: rape, murder, genocide, etc]]... She has the power to fracture/alter reality and wants to use the Earth as the center of a black hole to implode and collapse the entire multiverse. Her reasons for doing this: "It's the only way to save them".
** Winter of ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'' becomes this after he flew an Franchise/{{Alien}}-infested Skywatch space station into the sun to save the world. Being an energy absorber, Winter became one with the sun. Trapped by eternal agony he lures out ComicBook/TheAuthority so they can finally put an end to his life; when it's deemed impossible to kill him without destroying the sun and ending the world, he became enraged. Disgusted by humanity's cruelty, he yells "Your world does not deserve to live" and lashes out. [[spoiler:He's eventually stopped by using the Carrier's technology to seal baby universes and was condemned to burn for billions of years. Later on he's released by the new Doctor and revived in his previous normal state. In the latest ''Stormwatch'' issues it was revealed he still holds some of the sun's power.]]
** "The Man Without Hope" (MWH) comes from the future and with his superior technology he's a match for ComicBook/TheAuthority. The future is grim, blank and full of suffering and he wants to prevent it from happening by ending existence all together. Swift receives knowledge from the mythical "gods" about the dark future and how to prevent it. She mentions how the MWH with all his technology couldn't figure out the problem and fix it. The MWH commits suicide when his plan is ruined by The Authority and a new unknown time line is birthed yet he is still convinced that everyone is screwed. The issue ends with the words "beginning of the end" hinting that the MWH was probably talking about human nature being the problem seeing it's the central theme of the graphic novel, "human on the inside"
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Adjudicator justifies his actions as judgement on the peoples of whatever world he's currently destroying across the multiverse, but he "judges" the planets before sending minions to test the inhabitants of a handful of the representative versions of the planet and that judgement always calls for the destruction of the planet(s) and its/their inhabitants.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Genocide despised sentients, and her goal upon "birth" was the extinction of the human race.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanOdyssey'': Nemesis reasoned that she could only fulfill her purpose by destroying humanity entirely. Given that there are other races capable of committing murder in her universe she would have likely found that her job wasn't yet complete with only humanity destroyed.
