** His run on ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' was practically made of these. Orqwith, a city that doesn't exist and sends out Scissormen to literally cut people out of reality as we know it. Red Jack, who lives in a pocket dimension mansion with a floating head that is just a mask and claims to be both God and Jack the Ripper. The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, Extinction and Oblivion, who lives inside a painting that can 'eat' reality and is gigantic with no skin. The Decreator, some kind of anti-god that appears as simply a gigantic eye in the sky. The Avatar that lives under the Pentagon appears to be this, although we didn't get to see too much of its full extent, but required [[Flex Mentallo]], who can [[Reality Warper|warp reality]] by flexing his muscles, to force the Pentagon into a circle, which caused an immense amount of strain, and [[Summon Bigger Fish|the summoning of The Candlemaker, a far worse Eldritch Abomination]], to stop it.
** [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Mother Dirt]], from ''[[The Filth]]''. Supposedly, it's the [[Big Good]] of the series.
* The DCU ''[[Fifty Two|52]]'' miniseries introduced the Four Horsemen of Apokolips: ancient, primal entities that hail from Apokolips and predate the New Gods. They are limited only by their inability to physically manifest in the universe without assistance. In their debut, using flawed bodies that could only channel a fraction of their true power, they devastated [[Qurac|Kahndaq]], murdered Black Adam's new family, and nearly killed Black Adam himself. Thankfully, they are now [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]...{{spoiler|inside [[Mad Scientist|Veronica Cale]].}}
** Furthermore, 52 featured {{spoiler|the evolution of the villain Mr. Mind, who became a cosmically huge insect abomination. He's responsible for the differences between the 52 realities of the DC multiverse, having [[Clock Roaches|literally eaten key moments in time]] from all but one of them.}}
** The 5th Dimensional Imps, of which [[Superman]] villain Mr. Mxyzptlk is the most famous, have become an example of this. They can more or less wear the laws of physics like a funny paper hat, and while they tend to appear as cartoonish characters, those aren't their ''true'' forms. Luckily, most of them aren't interested enough in meddling with our universe, and those that do are permitted only to cause mischief. Of course, sometimes hiccups occur, like the time Mxyzptlk made the well-intentioned mistake of [[It Got Worse|giving his reality-reshaping powers to the Joker]].
