*** This Source Wall lies on the edge of the known universe, in the Promethean Galaxy. Beyond the wall lies what is known as The Source, a cosmic essence or being that is the "source" of all that exists. The wall is theoretically passable. However, all those who try have been inevitably trapped in it. Over time, it has been made up of the bodies of would-be conquerors and curiosity seekers from all across the universe.
** ''JLA: Another Nail'' has the Limbo Cell, a primordial creature that eats existence.
* Though, in appearance, they are standard [[Our Angels Are Different|angels]] and [[Our Demons Are Different|demons]], many of the characters of [[Lucifer (Comic Bookcomics)|Lucifer]] have powers and attitudes that are more in line with this trope. Notably, at one point, Lucifer flies out to just in front of the Source mentioned above and totally ignores it. It's simply beneath his notice at the time.
** The same series has the Jin-En-Mok and the Silk Man, surviours of the destruction of what's described as "an earlier, cruder Creation" and so very horrible in their own, special ways.
* One played a major role in [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Cyborg's]] origin in the comics. While visiting his parents at S.T.A.R. Labs, Victor's mother Elinor accidentally activated the experimental dimensional portal device his parents were working on at the time. The...''thing'' that came through it immediately devoured his mother and mutilated Victor before his father Silas forced it back into its own dimension, {{spoiler|but not before the creature gave him a terminal case of radiation sickness}}. Silas barely managed to save his son using cyborg prosthetics of his own design, but Victor resented him for turning him into a "cyborg freak" for years, believing that his father wanted to experiment on him, {{spoiler|until Silas revealed that he was dying thanks to the radiation. This led to Cyborg getting over his bitterness towards his father, and they spent one last day together as father and son before Silas died}}.
