Villain who wants to end all existence in all universes

[williamtheday]

even Death, even himself. I had one, Erich Drago, The Overlord. Are there others in real comics?

[williamtheday]

Hm, meant to put this in Community, although The Martian Overlord (War Of The Worlds, 1974) was a partial inspiration.

[Huntsman Spider]

In real comics? There's a fair amount, yes. The one that sticks out most for me is Spider-Carnage from the finale of Spider-Man's 90s animated series, an A/U version of Peter Parker driven insane by a few losses too many and the "help" of the Carnage symbiote that bonded to him, which influenced him to initiate a plot that not only saw the near-total destruction of New York City, but also would've seen the complete annihilation of reality itself if not for the Beyonder turning back time to give various alternate versions of Spider-Man, including the protagonist of the main series, a chance to stop him.

Aha! Thanks for your answer. By the way, in Erich Drago's universe he posed as The Beyonder and watched all the heros and villains kill each other on Battleworld. Only Peter Parker was allowed to return to tell the tale.

Maelstrom. He serves oblivion and they both want there to be nothing. Not even death.

I think Amatsu-Mikaboshi (Marvel) had a goal like this.

He destroyed about 98% of the multiverse before he was defeated.

Rassilon pretty much tried to do wipe out all reality in The End of Time, the last 10th Doctor appearance.

[Tendrin]

I mean, let's not forget the Anti-Monitor.

You're welcome, and that would've been an interesting outcome for the original Secret Wars or an adaptation thereof.

[Kal-El Summers]

Annihilus in Annihilation comes to mind.

[Rosebunse]

Was that what the Beyonders were trying to do in the lead up to Secret Wars?

[Chainsaw Vigilante]

Abraxas from the Fantastic Four storyline wanted everything erased save for himself and almost accomplished it (and in a funny way his actions lead to the entire multiverse getting ultimately nullified.

[Oberon]

Yes, Maelstrom is the one I think of.
