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 Book)|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 58:
== 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]]).
* Omega, from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', is the absolute, [[A God Am I|godlike]] ruler of an entire universe made of anti-matter. Subverted by the fact that he's the ''only guy there''. And he wants [[Sealed Evil in A Can|out]].
** 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.
Line 91:
** [[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.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', Zant rules the Twilight Realm (though he usurped the position from {{spoiler|Midna}}); he then sets his sights on the World of Light. Unsurprisingly, [[Hijacked By Ganon|Ganondorf is behind it]].
** Ganondorf is, of course, ruler of the Dark World/Sacred Land in ''[[The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]''.
* {{spoiler|Dimentio}} in ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'' tries to take this position by destroying all the dimensions and rebuilding them in his own image.
