Dimension Lord: Difference between revisions

** While Meffy is the most commonly used one, we also have other demonic overlords: Satannish, Nightmare, Belasco, etc. etc. Occasionally they claim to be the [[Satan|the same guy]].

* Trigon the Terrible, demonic overlord of [[The DCU]] and father of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' character Raven.

* The Time Trapper from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Book)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' was a borderline case -- the End of Time isn't exactly a separate dimension, since it's the main DC Universe during its last years. But given that time travel for the Legion functioned a lot like space travel (Superboy commuted from the 20th century to the 30th, the Time Trapper erected an Iron Curtain of Time that he could attack back through but the Legion couldn't get past) the effect was much the same: he ruled an entire universe, just one separated by time rather than vibrational barriers, and engaged in various plots to extend his rule back to the Legion's present and beyond.

** He doesn't have much to rule, however, since his homeworld is suffering from heat death.

* [[Older Than Steam]]: At least in the standard ''Paradise Lost''-influenced portrayal, [[Satan]] is the near-absolute ruler of the dimension called Hell.

** After his failed rebellion in another dimension called Heaven, which is still ruled by another Dimension Lord.

 

 

== Live Action TV ==

* Dark Specter from ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' is the overlord of the Universal Alliance of Evil, which has already conquered most of the universe (excluding [[Humans Are Special|Earth]]).

** Time, being a dimension, makes every Time Lord one of these. Or, as of 2010, the Doctor himself, since he's the only Time Lord left.

*** It's probably best that he ''[[A God Am I|doesn't]]'' [[A God Am I|start thinking about this too much]], or show what he could really do with this status, as "The Waters of Mars" showed. It almost made the Doctor finally [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|go off the deep end]] and he started referring to himself as "[[A God Am I|Time Lord Victorious]]". The one thing what caused him to return to normal is Adelaide (the famous person he saved, who ''wasn't meant to be alive'') killing herself to save the world, and specifically herself, from the Doctor's hubris.

* In [[Sliders]], the Kromaggs rule multiple dimensions.

* Glorificus from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' used to be one, until she got banished to earth and forced to [[Sharing a Body|timeshare Ben's body]]. Her entire arc is about her attempt to get back to her own dimension.

 

** Speaking of Nightbane, the Nightlords could also count, ruling over a [[Dark World]] and seek to conquer its counterpart: Earth.

* In the original editions of Mage: The Ascension, some of those who ascend actually BECAME their own extradimensional realms, where they were absolute, being both Dimension Lord and Dimension at the same time.

 

 

** [[All There in the Manual|In the Smash Bros. Dojo]], Master Hand is described as the Lord of the Smash Bros. world. {{spoiler|At least, until Tabuu makes it a [[People Puppets|puppet]]...}}

* The Guardian from the later ''[[Ultima]]'' games. Arguably [[Richard Garriott|Lord British]] from ''Ultima IV'' on.

* The Forgotten God rules over the abyss. Later the protagonist. the titular ''[[Overlord]]'' can take over the god's role, ascending from an [[Evil Overlord]] to this position.

* Chzo, from the games of the [[Chzo Mythos]], is a pain elemental that rules the World of Magick as it's King.

* [[Mortal Kombat|Shao Kahn]] rules as [[Evil Overlord|Emperor]] of the evil, mutant-infested dimension known as Outworld. He is constantly scheming to conquer Earth.

** Shao Kahn goes up to [[Multiversal Conqueror]], but [[Evil Is Petty|he hates Earth for defeating him]].

* This was {{spoiler|Illua's}} goal in [[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2]]- {{spoiler|she made a pact with the Neukhia in order to gain more power, and planned to harness the Zellea Rift to achieve total domination over time and space.}}

 

 

== Webcomics ==

** Lord Tedd was recently mentioned (and [[Lampshaded]]) when Elliot was talking to Tedd's father on the phone after being attack by the Bloodgrem.

* Mynd of ''[[Bob and George]]'' [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/010708c claims this when he first meets Bob, but the author admits in his notes that he's probably lying, or that his dimension is tiny.]
