Battling [[The Legions of Hell]] is one thing, this goes the opposite direction. Are you a bad enough dude to take on the gods?... or angels? Or even [[God|the Big Guy Upstairs?]]

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Father]] uses the power of the souls of Amestris to pull God down to Earth and absorbs God.}}
* This is essentially the plot of ''[[Amatsuki]]'', in which the titular world is ruled over by the god Teiten, who really couldn't care less about what happens to its inhabitants, as long as they don't interfere with his own plans (and if they do, there are ''severe'' consequences). He also predicts the fates of all living things so that he may control them. The demon [[Anti-Hero|Bonten]], who lost everyone he loved because of Teiten, decides he's tired of this way of life and takes action once it becomes evident that Teiten intends to destroy the world. Hapless protagonist Tokidoki, the only one whose fate has not been decided, is part of a plot made by Bonten and the demons to overthrow Teiten and escape the awful fate that awaits them. [[Refusal of the Call|Except he doesn't like the idea of being made a god]].

* ''[[Spawn]]'' spends as much time battling crazy people and demons, as he does fighting angels who apparently can't tell that he's a good guy. Created solely to be Hell's general makes some angels think his turn is inevitable. Ironically the ruler of Heaven, being just as evil as the devil, is NOT the one true God, who actually is implied to have some sympathy for the hellspawn.
* John Constantine, main character of ''[[Hellblazer]]'' (which is partly in [[The DCU]]) finds himself in this position half of the time. The other half he's against the boys downstairs. Probably worth mentioning that he holds ''both'' sides in roughly the same contempt.
