* In [[The DCU]], [[Animal Man]] is a combination of this and the [[Meta Guy]]; he realizes that he's a fictional character, at the whims of his writers. However, this awareness decreases and increases over time (naturally, due to the aforementioned whims).
* Charles Brigman from ''[[PS238]]'' has [http://ps238.nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238comic/comics07162008/index.php?date=2008-07-16 officially] [http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238/comics/index.php?date=2008-07-30 become] a Cosmic Plaything. Paradox is one too, but in the sense that he has "duties to perform" -- among the other things, he is sometimes used as a "wild card" doppelgänger of people who cannot be present (in certain unusual circumstances, like time travel), but their absence could cause, well, paradoxes.
* Whether it be in video games or comic books, [[Spider-Man]] is Marvel's ultimate Cosmic Plaything.
** That [[Affirmative Action Legacy|Miles Morales]] doesn't inherit this (indeed is regularly subject to [[Character Shilling]] instead) is regularly held against him.
* ''[[Deadpool]]'' doesn't really mind being a Cosmic Plaything so much when its Death wanting to use him as a boytoy. He's not so happy when its Thanos making him immortal so that he wouldn't steal the Mad Titan's girlfriend.
