* [[Marvel Comics]] [[Running the Asylum|may be the "king" of this trope]], [[Fantasy Pantheon|as it has introduced dozens of entities over the years]], [[Running the Asylum|with highly shifting or conflicting definitions and relationships to each other]]. This has recurrently lead to [[Fanon]] [[Our Gods Are Greater|dedication, selective favorism, and speculation]]. Many of these beings are [[Anthropomorphic Personifications]] of natural forces, or granted [[Omniscient Morality License]] for narrative purposes. These include, but are definitely not limited to:

** [[God|"The One Above All"]], [[Have You Seen My God|very scarcely vaguely circumventionally referenced or implied to exist]], but mostly a catchy memetic [[Fan Wank]], particularly the supposed title.

** The Living Tribunal, who in theory is supposed to act as the entity's [[Guardian of the Multiverse]] enforcer and highest judge of law, but generally stands by even in times of multiversal genocide, according to [[She Hulk]] is gladly willing to wipe out entire universes in favour of ones that it simply likes better, and enforces the nightmarish [[Disproportionate Retribution]] [[Easy Road to Hell]] afterlife system. Of course, this is likely partially to avoid [[Deus Ex Machina]] narration, but still ends up as an [[Unfortunate Implications]] [[God Is Evil]] [[Crapsack World]] [[Cosmic Horror Story]].

** The Infinites, which are higher-dimensional entities far beyond Eternity, who don't really notice anything that goes on in the lower multiverse except through accident, but aren't malevolent as such.

** Numerous pantheons of largely [[Jerkass Gods]]. Most of whom are "only" natural parts of other "dimensions" or "planes" who got a kick out interfering with the development of life. They got kicked out by the Celestials, who felt only they should do that.

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

** [[Conan the Barbarian|The Elder Gods]], who [[Names the Same|are not the same]] as the pantheons. They grew from seeds planted by the sentient part of Earth's biosphere to protect the emerging life. Most of them became corrupt and were destroyed by the Demogorge, the only one who remains near Earth, sleeping the in sun. The other known survivors, Set, Gaea, Oshtur, and Chthon, hide away in their own personal dimensions.

** The Elders Of The Universe, life forms from the start of universe who can manipulate energies from the Big Bang and live until they lose the will to. They eventually let anyone join their club if they managed to outlive the rest of their species and their native galaxy, so not every member is this trope: The Grand Master, Runner, Champion and Collector are. Ego The Living Planet was allowed in, claiming to be a [[Single Specimen Species]] and then blowing out every star in his galaxy [[Jerkass|himself]].
