History ApocalypseHow / ClassX

''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In Remnant's ancient past, part of humanity rose up against the gods resulting in an apocalyptic divine response that affected only humanity. [[spoiler:When the gods [[BarredFromTheAfterlife curse Salem]] for attempting to resurrect her dead lover, she incites humanity to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens war against the gods]]. The God of Darkness unleashes a blast of energy that wipes out every human life. The only reason she survives is because he realises Salem thought she couldn't be punished any worse than she already had been. To prove her wrong, the gods depart and leave her completely alone in addition to [[CompleteImmortality being unable to die]]. Although the God of Light asks her deceased lover to return to life to redeem humanity, he warns Ozma that failure will result in the gods escalating their response to [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX full planetary destruction]].]]

* The fight between Goku and Superman in ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' basically ends with the world's destruction.
* In ''WebAnimation/TheDementedCartoonMovie'', the world is continually either blowing up or crashing into the sun.

* The entire story of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' is based around the premise of rebuilding the Earth after it is transformed into the embryonic, demon-infested Vortex World as the result of an event called the Conception. The Earth as you once knew it, and any living thing outside of a small hospital in the middle of Tokyo, is utterly destroyed. This happens in the ''first ten minutes of the game'', by the way.

* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'': The FinalBoss deletes the Earth upon reaching 29% health. Gameplay-wise, this prevents the party from fleeing and causes increasing amounts of {{damage over time}}. [[NoOntologicalInertia The Earth returns]] upon his defeat, thankfully.

* [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on whose lore you read]], Lord Helix and Red were attempting one of these at the end of [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal Twitch Plays Pokemon Crystal]]. The Godslayers had the task of stopping them from doing so, a task which they succeeded at.

* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'': The FinalBoss deletes the Earth upon reaching 29% health. Gameplay-wise, this prevents the party from fleeing and causes increasing amounts of {{damage over time}}. [[NoOntologicalIntertia The Earth returns]] upon his defeat, thankfully.

** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' series finale has [[spoiler: Earth being sucked into black hole that's a result of Rangers failing to foil Sledge's plan in 100%. Combined power of all [[Macguffin Energems]] and time travel shenanigans are required to circumvent it.]]

* In ''Liteature/Zodiac2014'', House Ophiuchus was wiped off the galactic map by Dark Matter, along with everyone in it. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope However]], in ''Thirteen Rising'', we learn that it wasn't ''actually'' destroyed.]]

* Episodes 3 and 4 of ''Series/Loki2021'' take place on Lamentis-1, a moon turned into a mining colony that is about to crash into its planet in 2077, obliterating it and everyone living on it.

* ''Film/{{Eternals}}'': [[spoiler:The Emergence, the birth of the Tiamut, the Celestial that was planted in the Earth]], would have destroyed the planet if it wasn't stopped.

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' has had Unicron eat a planet or two. He's also eaten a universe or two.

* Unicron threatens Earth with this in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', but not via [[PlanetEater his usual method]]. In this case, Unicron instead [[SealedEvilInACan slumbers at the core of planet Earth, which formed around him]], and his awakening would shatter the planet into uninhabitable pieces.

* In ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', Badra and her partners don't merely intend to take over the world. They want to blow it up.

* ''Film/{{Thor}}'': The Bifröst has enough power to annihilate entire worlds, which is why Heimdall refuses to keep the bridge open for too long when Thor and his friends travel to Jötunheim. Later on, Loki attempts to use the Bifröst to destroy Jötunheim so he can wipe out the Frost Giants and [[WellDoneSonGuy earn Odin's approval]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/ShadowRaiders'', [[BigBad the Beast Planet]] gets along by [[PlanetEater eating other planets]], as demonstrated with planets [[AllForNothing Water]], [[DownerBeginning Tek]], [[spoiler:[[SenselessSacrifice Fire]], [[HeroicSacrifice the Prison Planet]], and [[SuddenDownerEnding Reptizar]]]]. [[SacrificialPlanet Planet Jungle]] was blown up by setting a crap load of explosives next to its (nonfunctional) world engines. [[NoSell The Beast ate the remaining chunks]]. Given that the Beast Planet is not only capable of self-propelled intergalatic flight, but actively seeking out new planets to consume, it could be taken as an example of [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX2 Class X-2]].

* The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Planet Eaters]] in ''[[VideoGame/{{Boktai}} Lunar Knights]]'' are able to trigger one of these, especially when its governing [[OmnicidalManiac Immortal]] decides keeping it around isn't worth it any longer. This can be because the Immortal is bored, because they just hate the people on the world, or because their plot [[WorldOfSilence to impose eternity upon the cosmos]] [[DidntSeeThatComing goes off the rails]]. [[spoiler:[[TheWoobie Alice]] is a lagomid survivor or a descendant thereof (Sheridan explicitly says a Planet Eater visited her homeworld), while the titular Lunar Knights cause [[BigBad Polidori]] to trigger its self-destruct before it can do the same to theirs (and shoot him down before he can attempt a Class 4/5 himself). [[SequelHook When he's revived in the optional epilogue,]] [[DiscOneFinalBoss Duke Dumas]] [[SequelHook states that this act of rebellion has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the Immortals, but we haven't seen this play out so far]]...]]

* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': [[spoiler:Earth]] seemingly suffered this at the end of Season 1 [[spoilerwhen it was physically dragged into Final Space by one of the [[EldrichAbomination Titans]]]], but in Season 3 it gets downgraded to a ApocalypseHow/Class4]]. In Season 3, [[spoiler: Earth is destroyed completely in an EarthShatteringKaboom when the Lord Commander [[FusionDance fuses with the Titan embryo]] [[OneWingedAngel incubating in the planet's core]] and bursts out]].
