Line 15:
The [[Nietzsche Wannabe]], the [[Psycho for Hire]] or the [[A God Am I]] mentality are very popular amongst this character archetype.

== Anime & Manga ==
* 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.
Line 93:
* 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.]]}}
== Fan Fiction ==
Line 102 ⟶ 101:
* 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.}}
== Film ==
Line 109 ⟶ 107:
** Although the sequels did have him wanting to destroy the Matrix, and most likely the machines, the original film did briefly imply that Smith hated the Matrix as much, if not even moreso, as he hates humans, and that he also hates the matrix just as much as the Redpills hate it, so it is very likely that he did have plans during even the original film to eliminate the Matrix, and Neo defeating him only gave him the capability to act upon this desire.
* Although the Earth and Federation have faced plenty of [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Earth Shattering Kabooms]] through the ''[[Star Trek]]'' movies, the villain closest to being an Omnicidal Maniac is Nero from the 2009 film: [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|driven insane by grief]] over the destruction of his homeworld, he has no plans for [[Galactic Conqueror|galactic conquest]] or delusions of [[A God Am I|godhood]]. His only remaining purpose in life is to {{spoiler|destroy each and every planet in the Federation}}.
* Thanos in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] is a ''semi-''Omnicidal Maniac. Convinced that the sapient population of the Universe will inevitably exhaust its resources, he is collecting the Infinity Stones with the explicit goal of killing exactly ''half'' of the population of the Universe. (He was doing this before he thought to collect the stones, only on a retail basis, one planet at a time. With the stones he can do the entire Universe at once.) The "maniac" part includes enough crazy that he thinks a) the survivors will thank him, b) that the freed resources will be equitably distributed between the survivors with no hoarding or extortion, and c) the populations will not just continue to grow until they've reached the same point again sometime in the future.
