* [[Marvel Comics]] has Kang the Conqueror, Rama Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, and Immortus. The catch is that these are all actually the same guy: he's traveled through time so often, and created so many [[Alternate Timeline|Alternate Timelines]]s, that there is now an entire [[Legion of Doom]] called the Council of Kangs made up entirely of his own iterations. Immortus, it seems, is the original Kang, who is now a [[Boxed Crook]]: forced to spend eternity undoing the [[Continuity Snarl]] that is the Marvel universe thanks largely to him.
** The miniseries ''Avengers Forever'' is little more than an attempt to tie together all those threads.
** The Scarlet Centurion also appears in Marvel's alternate-universe ''[[Squadron Supreme]]'' limited series, albeit without the [[Continuity Snarl]] baggage.

* In the ''[[DC One Million]]'' story arc, Vandal Savage, an [[Immortality|immortal]], evil [[Julius Beethoven Da Vinci]] who has been alive since 50,000 B.C., manages to do this, when it is revealed that he is still alive in the 853rd century and has hatched a plot to send a deadly cybernetic virus backward in time to change the future.
* Also from [[The DCU]], the Sheeda, a race from ''very'' far in Earth's future, thrives by plundering earlier civilizations. They succeeded in destroying one now-forgotten [[Expy|predecessor of Camelot]] but failed to destroy the present thanks to the [[Seven Soldiers]].
* The Future, one of the five heads of the Fraternity in [[Mark Millar]]'s ''[[Wanted]]'', is a [[Conqueror From the Future]] clearly based on Kang and his crew. Only [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|crossed with Nazis]].
* Max Bubba in ''[[Strontium Dog]]'', who travels back to the end of the eighth century and sets about wrecking the timeline in order to get revenge on [[Fantastic Racism|the future]]. It's unclear just how aware he is that he's wrecking the timeline.
* The Disney comic [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+99119 "The World Begins And Ends In Duckburg"] features a villain from the future who comes and turns off all electricity. ([[An Aesop]] follows about not relying on modern technology.)
