Who caused the [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]? ''This guy''. Destroying continents, wiping out civilizations, exterminating whole planets: When this character turns up, entire ''galaxies'' or ''universes'' may die, if not reality itself—the Omnicidal Maniac has made his entrance and where he goes, the survival rate of everything nearby quickly drops towards zero.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
{{examples}}
== Anime
* Anyone of importance in ''[[Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball Z]]'' [[Earthshattering Kaboom|can blow up planets]]. However, only Majin Buu seems intent on undoing all of creation merely out of malice, spite and boredom. And inability to get ice cream. And that was before he got rid of his conscience.
** Cell planned on becoming one of these after the Cell Games, but was killed before he could get started.
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* ''[[Monster]]'' has more realistic version of this in [[Complete Monster|Johan Liebert]], while his motives are left somewhat vague, his actions certainly suggest that his ultimate goal is the complete destruction of human society by manipulating everyone he comes across into killing themselves or each other.
==
* Imperiex of the [[DCU]], a hive minded mechanical entity, saw its purpose as being the "hollowing" of the universe, destroying the flawed creation and remaking it in a new Big Bang. Ironically, {{spoiler|the flaw is detected in the universe was itself, and a massive cooperative effort managed to throw him into the past where he in fact became the Big Bang in the first place, via a [[Stable Time Loop]], a fact which Imperiex realizes the moment before it dies}}.
* DC Comics' [[Crisis Crossover|''Crisis'' crossovers]] has the following:
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* According to [[Depending on the Writer|some versions]] of the character (particularly the [[Darker and Edgier|MAX universe]]), if [[The Punisher]] were given enough time and ammo he would literally kill every person on earth.
{{quote|'''[[The Punisher]]''': The [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|human race.]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|You've seen where that leads to.]]}}
* ''[[Lady Death]]'', the headliner (more or less) of [[Chaos! Comics]]. Short version, she rules Hell, and is under a curse with the conditions that she cannot live on Earth (her home) if any other living being is there. Her goal is thus simple - kill every living being.
** Same can be said of [[Evil-Ernie]], who might as well be considered [[The Dragon]] to Lady Death. He's in love with her, and he's undead (not a living being) so he trying to fulfil her goal so they can be together.
== Fan
* ''[[Thirty Hs]]'' is an extreme example, where {{spoiler|Harry and a name-mangled Dumbledore}} plan to kill everyone in the universe, then [[Up to Eleven|bring them all back to life, then kill everyone again]] (unless they starve to death in-between). For no apparent reason except that [[God Mode Sue|they can]].
** Is it even possible to spoil a [[Random Events Plot|"plot"]] like Thirty Hs? {{spoiler|GROINSAWS}}
* ''[[Fuck the Jesus Beam]]'' contains, prepare yourself for a [[Common Mary Sue Traits|Sue Name]] to the ''n''th degree... BaROCK Dominatus Caesar Inferno Vespucci Giovanni Goku Super Sexy Awesome Absolute GOD O.B.A.M.A.
* There's {{spoiler|the S'Muz}} from ''[[Time Lords and Terror]]'', an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that desires to consume all the life energy in not only the universe, but the ''multiverse''.
* In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2846526/1/Sonic_X_Combine_Wars Sonic X:Combine Wars]'', the final story in a series by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/478240/Kojiokida2 Kojiokida2], {{spoiler|Mephiles}} turns out to be trying to destroy all of existence.
* {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination|Entropy]]}} from the ''[[Pony POV Series]]'' is one, but an interesting version. {{spoiler|She's not actually evil, at least that's not ''why'' she does it. She's ''literally'' the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of the end of the universe, and a natural force of the universe. It's pretty much her ''job'' to be an Omnicidal Maniac.}}
Line 189 ⟶ 192:
** Demons are played differently in ''[[Pathfinder]]''—while they love wanton murder and destruction, they ''don't'' want to destroy everything because then they'd have no more fun. Instead, the cessation of all life is the goal of the [[Neutral Evil]] daemons, who know nothing but hatred for everything, themselves included, and derive pleasure from nothing. To compare the two, whereas a demon would rape you to death for its own enjoyment, a daemon would quickly and efficiently kill you just to snuff you out.
*** The Asuras are a minor type of [[Lawful Evil]] fiends who want to destroy all of divine creation as they are "errors" of the gods, while the [[Eldritch Abomination|Qlippoth]] want to eradicate [[Kill All Humans|all sentient live]] so no sinful souls arrive in the Abyss to form Demons, so the Qlippoth can reclaim it for them again.
*** Then there is Rovagug, a major deity motivated only by destruction who
*** And finally, there are the [[Chaotic Neutral|not actually evil]] Proteans, [[Blue and Orange Morality|who want to destroy everything so they can build it anew.]]
* In the [[New World of Darkness]], while many beings are malevolent and highly destructive, the most noteworthy are from ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'': the Scelesti (mages who serve the abhorrent [[Cosmic Horror|Abyss]], and seek to allow its anti-reality to seep into this world in order to bring it to an end) and the Cult of the Doomsday Clock (a group of mages who believe that the best way to free the souls of humanity is to destroy all of time and history, using their evil clocks, and by becoming living time paradoxes. They also (unknowingly) serve the Abyss).
Line 198 ⟶ 201:
{{quote|'''Necron Pariah:''' There is an alternative (to life). There exists a state in which all conflict is resolved and all is cold and silent. There are no wants, no wars, no squabbles. You may call this state death if you wish, but that is a misnomer. Death is but the ending of life, and that is only a means to an end. That end is purity, the time when all is still and unchanging.}}
* This is the true nature of the Army of the Expeditionary Force, from the aptly named ''3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars''.

Line 359 ⟶ 361:
** This is Megatron's actual goal when the last part of ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' rolls around. He wants to use the black hole and the Cyber Planet Keys to destroy the universe so he can rebuild it in his own image. Somehow.
** Unicron, curiously, actually succeeded on at least on occasion. Then slept through the Big Bang that recreated it. He was not amused. He has also stepped up his game of late - said black hole is apparently replicating across realities and growing.
* Daemon from ''[[
* The Brains from ''[[Futurama]]''. These unbelievably powerful, [[Mind Rape|mindraping]] giant brains appeared in this universe milliseconds after it came into being. Their one goal is to gather all of the information in the universe, then ''destroy'' it so that no new information will ever appear. The only real opposition against them comes from the [[Precursors]],
** Lucky for humanity, Fry was immune to their mind powers. Then he made them leave the Earth for [[Rouge Angles of Satin|''no good raisin!!'']]
** Later on, the Brains build the Infosphere to store all the information in the universe. Naturally, they plan on destroying the universe once they finish learning everything. Fortunately, Fry and {{spoiler|the Nibblonians}} manage to stop them again.
Line 368 ⟶ 370:
* [[Darkseid]] from the ''[[DCAU]]'' has the ultimate goal of obtaining the anti-life equation and using it to undo the current existence, so he can rebuild it in a manner more to his liking. Unfortunately it tends to be overshadowed by his 'torment Superman' schemes.
** Brainiac, also from the [[DCAU]], acts to destroy all of creation, but this is due to his programming rather than any genuine malicious wish to do so.
*** Omnicidal [[
* {{spoiler|Owlman}} in ''[[Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths]]'' wants to kill "Everyone who ever existed or will ever exist" and destroy all reality {{spoiler|because he feels it is the only "real choice" one could make, as for every choice one made, all other possibilities played out in another universe.}}
* ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' has two. First, Dark Laser really wants to blow up the Earth because...well, it's there. A more serious example is [[Big Bad|The Darkness]], a powerful and ancient entity who has destroyed countless worlds, including {{spoiler|Wonder World and Yugopotamia}}.
Line 376 ⟶ 378:
** Or [[For Science!]] for that matter.
* Trigon of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' had the explicit goal of destroying "the world of mortals", though he did plan on remaking it in his own image afterwards. As this would mean a ''literal'' [[Hell on Earth]], it doesn't make him any less evil than the others on this list.
* ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' episode "Ragnarok and Roll" had one guy who wanted to destroy the world because he felt it was a bad place. Fot that, he summoned a magical [[Artifact of Doom]] - using [[The Lord of the Rings|The Ring Inscription]].
* In the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' crossover movie ''[[Turtles Forever]]'', the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|2k3 Shredder]], after being freed from his confinement in an asteroid, decides that in order to destroy all the turtles in the universe, {{spoiler|he must destroy reality itself, and sets out to do just that}}.
** {{spoiler|1=Utrom Shredder wasn't so into the destruction of reality at first. He just realized that the Ninja Turtles would persist in every reality so winning in one really meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. What he wanted to do was eliminate the TMNTs from existence, by destroying them on Turtle Prime (the original Mirage comic). Reality was shattering but only after he had left the 2003 dimension (which he didn't know was happening). Once he saw that the destruction of the 1984 Turtles would in fact break reality fully, ''that's'' when he threw down the gauntlet and decided reality would have to end if it meant he could win.}}
Line 399 ⟶ 401:
Man has nothing with which to repay Heaven.
[[Madness Mantra|Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.]] }}
** It came to be called the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Seven Kill Stele]], and even after the Manchus put Zhang to death, everyone was so terrified of it, they refused to touch it, even to destroy it, until the 1970s. Of course, the accuracy of this legend can be doubted on the ground that it was treated like it was diseased well into the twentieth century, and back then was actually surrounded by murderous lunatics. So it's more likely that people who lived to tell the tale remembered parts of a [[Madness Mantra|chant]], rather than came close enough to read the stone. And indeed missionaries in 1934 examined the stone presumed to be ''that one'', and found the text starting in a similar way, but with different ending:
{{quote|Heaven gives everything to men; men give nothing back to heaven.
* "Kill them all, God will recognize his own" ("Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt emus." in the original latin) Arnaud Amaury, Papal Legate. He gave this order to his troops when facing the Cathar (a Christian religious movement the Pope considered heretical) held city of Béziers.▼
The gods are not without intelligence; examine yourselves and repent!}}
** What isn't folklore, however, are census figures (Chinese officials liked to get taxes, after all). The last known number for Sichuan (in 1578, more than 60 years before Zhang) gave a population of 3,102,073 — and in 1661 there were only 16,096 adult males registered, mostly in far corners. There weren't any epidemics known, except this insanity, and the chroniclers claimed population was about 3 3/4 millions before it started. This guy outdid even Pol Pot. The place was overrun by wild dogs and tigers, had such a fell reputation that it could be repopulated only by forcibly moving people there, and even that took about seventy years.
▲* "Kill them all, God will recognize his own" ("Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt emus." in the original
* While they don't want to wipe out humanity right away (well, hopefully at least most of them don't), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Euthanasia the Church of Euthanasia] is a religious organization founded in 1995 who believe the Earth will be much better off without humans living on it, and push for some way for mankind to dramatically reduce its own population. The only rule members have is "thou shalt not procreate" (as in, remain celibate), and they also encourage suicide, abortion, cannibalism, and sodomy. Oddly enough, the U.S. government does indeed recognize them as a non-profit and tax exempt organization.
