** There's also the High Evolutionary (yeah) who is actually a very reasonable person, or rather would be if he stopped taking the theory of evolution and beating it into submission with a sack of rusty doorknobs in order to make his experiments work.

* Marvel's most notable example is probably Miles Warren, aka the Jackal, an enemy of [[Spider-Man]]. He had a lot of fun cloning Peter Parkers (and Gwen Stacies). Most of the blame for the Clone Saga was his.

** [[Captain Mar-Vell|The Supreme Intelligence of the Kree]] has committed monstrous atrocities against his own people in order to spur their evolutionary development.

** [[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|1000 years from now]], Ra's Al Ghul will plot to crash the Moon into the Earth to force humanity to [[You Fail Biology Forever|preemptively evolve]] to prevent it.
** Bertron, the alien who created the creature Doomsday, in the [[Superman]] comics.
* Dr Payne in the British comic book series ''[[Zenith]]'' created the second generation superhumans with the explicit intent that they replace humanity. {{spoiler|They did. After a fashion.}}
