** While Meffy is the most commonly used one, we also have other demonic overlords: Satannish, Nightmare, Belasco, etc. etc. Occasionally they claim to be the [[Satan|the same guy]].
* Trigon the Terrible, demonic overlord of [[The DCU]] and father of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' character Raven.
* The Anti-Monitor, ruler of the Antimatter Universe prior to and during DC's ''[[Crisis
* The Time Trapper from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Book)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' was a borderline case -- the End of Time isn't exactly a separate dimension, since it's the main DC Universe during its last years. But given that time travel for the Legion functioned a lot like space travel (Superboy commuted from the 20th century to the 30th, the Time Trapper erected an Iron Curtain of Time that he could attack back through but the Legion couldn't get past) the effect was much the same: he ruled an entire universe, just one separated by time rather than vibrational barriers, and engaged in various plots to extend his rule back to the Legion's present and beyond.

** Time, being a dimension, makes every Time Lord one of these. Or, as of 2010, the Doctor himself, since he's the only Time Lord left.
*** It's probably best that he ''[[A God Am I|doesn't]]'' [[A God Am I|start thinking about this too much]], or show what he could really do with this status, as "The Waters of Mars" showed. It almost made the Doctor finally [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|go off the deep end]] and he started referring to himself as "[[A God Am I|Time Lord Victorious]]". The one thing what caused him to return to normal is Adelaide (the famous person he saved, who ''wasn't meant to be alive'') killing herself to save the world, and specifically herself, from the Doctor's hubris.
* In [[Sliders]], the Kromaggs rule multiple dimensions.
* [[Eldritch Abomination|The Prophets]] in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
* Glorificus from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' used to be one, until she got banished to earth and forced to [[Sharing a Body|timeshare Ben's body]]. Her entire arc is about her attempt to get back to her own dimension.
