* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', there are the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130807071654/http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Wrath_effect Wrath effect spells], which pretty much destroy everyone, allies included. Most of these are [[Light Is Not Good|White]], and some White aligned antagonists in the storyline have exhibited this type of tendencies.
* In [[Gamma World]], the Cryptic Alliance (Basically a massive semi-secret organization) known as the Red Death wants to do this. In earlier editions it was implied {{spoiler|that the organization was formed by hideously evil aliens to further divide the inhabitants of Earth so that they could come in and take over}}. In later editions, it is implied that it formed because of people snapping due to [[Crapsack World|the crapsack nature]] of the post-apocalyptic Earth. Oh, and as a final note, in all editions [[Oh Crap|it's said to be nigh impossible to wipe out.]] [[As Long as There Is Evil|For, no matter how many of their cells you destroy, a new one will always spring up]]
* The Excrucians in ''[[Nobilis]]'', for reasons best known to themselves.
Line 329:
** Considering how {{spoiler|when he died, he became the King of Hell and every single high powered magician and wizard alive immediately got the [[Oh Crap]] signal from the universe about how the end of all reality was coming}}, the universe has been incredibly careful since to make sure that he ''never'' gets in that position again. Considering that this means keeping him alive (as his physical body acts as a [[Restraining Bolt]]), this means A) [[Iron Butt Monkey|he has survived a lot of things that he probably shouldn't have]],<ref>like Australia dropping on him</ref> and B) his body count keeps climbing. So ever once in a while [[Cosmic Plaything|the universe seems to like to even the score]]. [[Up to Eleven|A lot]].
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''
** Zorgon Gola from "A Very Big Bang" [https://web.archive.org/web/20090116020645/http://beta.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010730 appears] to be an Omnicidal Maniac, but this is actually part of a [[Batman Gambit]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090116020253/http://beta.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=010816 to make himself] a mere [[Galactic Conqueror]]. Unfortunately, Gola didn't count on the actions of three [[Spanner in the Works|Spanners In The Works]] ([[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|our heroes]]) causing his [[Batman Gambit|Gambit]] to ''actually'' destroy the Punyverse.
** Aylee's species are a [[Horde of Alien Locusts]], but they take it so far as to destroy entire planets after consuming everything on them and before spreading out further on the remains, and at least one of their leaders, Leono, sees it as their species' religious duty (as opposed to just a way of feeding and multiplying) to do so. In his belief, the universe has spiralled out of the control of its Creator from the start, and She has sent this species to consume it.
* {{spoiler|The Pa'anuri}} from ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''... [[Ultimate Evil|Possibly]]. 'Attempted destruction of all baryonic matter in the Milky Way' certainly qualifies them for the trope, motivated by {{spoiler|baryonic matter people using transportation lethal to them.}}
