Line 332:
** In ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'' it's revealed that the "God of Demon Overlords'' got so powerful from killing hundreds of other Demon Overlords that {{spoiler|she started becoming an [[Eldritch Abomination]]. To escape this fate, she gave herself [[Easy Amnesia]] and reincarnated herself.}}
** Happens in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' if {{spoiler|You kill the final boss with just human Almaz alone, he becomes an Overlord, in style much like Prier.}} The Final Boss himself is an {{spoiler|"Evil God" due to being a Hero who killed countless Overlords.}}
** Also occurs in ''[[Disgaea 4: aA Promise Unforgotten]]'' if {{spoiler|you lose to Fuka during your battle with her. She decides to take over the Netherworld before she takes over the human world, and enlists the defeated Valvatorez and Fenrich as her servants in the process.}}
** Occurs in another Atlus game, {{spoiler|Catherine. If the player has made Chaos choices for the duration of the game and answered all of the final questions with freedom in mind, he asks Catherine, a succubus, to marry him... And she agrees. He wakes up in Hell the next morning and decides to strap on a sword and start killing demons wearing nothing more than his boxers... And eventually grows so powerful that everybody knows who he is and he uses Catherine's father (himself a powerful demon) as a seat. While he's making out with the guy's daughter and several other succubi.}}
* In ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'', killing the Emperor the first time doesn't particularly help, he takes over Hell and returns to Earth, raising Hell's capital from the earth to serve as his new base. In the remakes, it turns out this is the "evil side" of his soul doing the work - the "good side" ascends to Heaven and takes over that, too.
** The novelization even depicts the Emperor meeting [[Satan]] after he dies; who is about to take his soul; so the Emperor kills him.
* The game's manual states that ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'''s Shinnok became ruler of the Netherworld by deposing Lucifer, which is probably the only reference to Judeo-Christianity in the entire series.

== Comic Books ==
* The eponymous ''Jack of [[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]'' makes a deal with the devil to the effect that when he dies he won't go to hell. He assumes that means he'll automatically go to heaven. He's wrong, and is doomed to spent eternity wandering as a headless corpse. He gets better.
** That's related to a form of the old Jack O'Lantern story.
 
 
== Fan Works ==
* The Olympics plot of ''[[DC Nation (Roleplay)|DC Nation]]''. A combination of a [[Chekhov's Gun]] placed with Troia and a Type 1 starts a [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]. Troia triggers the [[Chekhov's Gun]] and it summons a horde of fallen allies to rocket up from the underworld and join the brawl. Everyone from former [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] (including [[Wild Card]] Terra, who decides to betray Hades!) to Easy Company...even a cadre of 9/11 First Responders. Leading the horde is Hawkman. Arsenal is on his left. Nightwing is on his right, announcing the entrance with a very loud "TITANS TOGETHER!" and a narration joke about literally being a Bat out of Hell.
* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' [[Continuation]] fic, the ''[[Elemental Chess Trilogy]]'', Roy Mustang becomes extremely ill in the second part. He doesn't die, but when Edward Elric pays a bedside visit, he asks if he's died and gone to hell. Ed invokes the trope by retorting that hell wouldn't want Roy if he died, because he'd probably take over.
* In a fan-made Alternate Ending of ''[[Death Note]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue8fM2FBL_A&feature=fvw seen here], Light ends up in the Shinigami realm where he is punished for using the Notebook by experiencing every death he ever caused before he will [[Cessation of Existence|cease to exist]]. After a very short [[Villainous Breakdown]], he leaves with Ryuk with plans to become the Shinigami King's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] and eventually [[The Starscream|take over the realm.]]
