Line 33:
* Trigon the Terrible, demonic overlord of [[The DCU]] and father of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' character Raven.
* The Anti-Monitor, ruler of the Antimatter Universe prior to and during DC's ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''.
* The Time Trapper from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|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.
* Darkseid, even though he only rules one planet.
Line 43:
* Mojo from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' rules a dimension where anyone who has the highest television ratings becomes the leader.
* The titular protagonist of [[The Sandman]] is the rare non-villain example. Interestingly Satan is technically not one due to then-recent events in the DCU mandating a triumvirate. Neil Gaiman plays this as an indulgence on Lucifer's part, and later subverts it: {{spoiler|When Lucifer quits and actually shuts Hell down throwing everyone out and leaving Dream the key. He goes on to lord over a nice bar.}}
** And then {{spoiler|he makes his own universe}} in ''[[Lucifer (Comic Bookcomics)|Lucifer]]''. {{spoiler|But he's not very big on the 'ruling' part, basically telling anyone who lives there that his only commandment is that he is ''not'' [[Stop Worshipping Me!|to be worshipped]].}}
* Shuma Gorath, also from [[Doctor Strange]], is another one of these, as well as a [[Multiversal Conqueror]]. He's even more powerful than Dormammu!
** ''[[The Thanos Imperative]]'' reveals that Shuma Gorath is just one member of an entire pantheon of dimension conquering abominations called the Many-Angled Ones.
Line 101:
** Shao Kahn goes up to [[Multiversal Conqueror]], but [[Evil Is Petty|he hates Earth for defeating him]].
* As of Episode 6 of [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]], we have the new Territory Lord of Beatrice's Fragment, the Endless {{spoiler|Sorcerer BATTLER.}}
* This was {{spoiler|Illua's}} goal in [[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2A2]]- {{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.}}
* In [[Final Fantasy XI]], [[Dark Is Not Evil|Diabolos]] is the overlord of the [[Dark World|Dynamis Dimension]].
