** In ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', [[spoiler:Sinister Strange]] tried to find an alternate universe where he was happy with [[spoiler:Christine]] but could never find one. After his abuse of the multiverse destroyed his world, [[spoiler:Sinister]] concluded that no version of himself would ever be happy and this would inevitabley lead to them destroying their world, so he might as well just kill them personally.

** Erik "Kilmonger" Stevens/N'Jadaka ultimately boils down to this in ''[[Film/BlackPanther2018 Black Panther]]''. Most of the film depicts him spouting his anti-white, black supremacist ideals as justification for his murderous ride to try to take the throne of Wakanda, and once he gets in power he declares the start of a race war in which Wakanda will arm the black people around the world with vibranium weapons, ostensibly to help the oppressed blacks overthrow the whites' systematic racism. However, his argument gets picked apart by how he has no intention of helping other minorities oppressed by whites and how Wakanda is just one country going against the rest of the world that is catching up to their technology. Further showing how he has no regard for even the future of Wakanda is how he [[spoiler:burns the garden of the Heart-Shaped Herb to destroy any chance of future superhuman Black Panthers]]. When T'Challa calls him out on this and points out he's no better than the white imperialists who took part in the African slave trade, Kilmonger finally snaps and shows his true colors: [[spoiler:he's still a traumatized, grieving boy who hasn't gotten over the death of his father, and now wants the world to suffer like he has using the country that not only orphaned him, but shunned him all his life.]]

** Ava Starr/Ghost from ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' is a downplayed version of this, being significantly more sympathetic than most examples, but she's so determined to stop the her terminal phasing-through-objects condition that she's willing to commit any number of violence and destruction to get there. She even contemplated going after Scott Lang's ten year old daughter, but [[MoralityPet Bill Foster]] shuts her down, refusing to continue helping her if she stoops to that level.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', Mako "Roadhog" Rutledge isn't an apocalyptic threat (despite his "one-man apocalypse" boasting), but his grievance with the world has shades of this trope. Mako has fought and sacrificed for his homeland and seen it deteriorate into a savage wasteland for his trouble, which has led him to conclude that the world is a harsh, cruel, and uncaring place that deserves the kind of turmoil people like [[MadBomber Junkrat]] and himself bring into it.
** Ramattra mixes this with WellIntentionedExtremeist and a dash of FantasticRacism . After years of watching his felllw Omnics be oppressed and killed, Ramattra has grown cynical and hateful towards humans and deems violent revolution to be the only solution left.
--> '''Ramattra:''' Suffer as I have suffered!

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseAlanJonah Alan Jonah]] is the fourth type. Having fought in some of the world's worst combat arenas for the British Army and [=MI6=] for decades in his backstory (and having [[spoiler:[[OutlivingOnesOffspring lost his daughter]] when she was gruesomely murdered while he was away on duty]] in the {{novelization}}), he believes that [[MisanthropeSupreme humanity are the real monsters above all else]], and seeks to "[[RestartTheWorld level the global playing field]]" by unleashing the [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]]. Unlike his partner [[spoiler:Emma Russell]], who genuinely believes the Titans can [[FertileFeet reverse the manmade ecological destruction]] and [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans strike a coexistence with humanity]], Jonah doesn't really give a damn about what happens afterward so long as civilization as we know it is gone and there's that many fewer humans in the world, to the point that he's fine with [[OmnicidalManiac King Ghidorah]] causing mass extinction and potentially wiping out '''all''' life on Earth.

** The [[GreaterScopeVillain Ascians]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' have a vested interest in the destruction of Eorzea in the service of their GodOfEvil, Zodiark. While most Ascians are simply OmnicidalManiac[=s=], there are a few whose motivations aren't as simplistic: [[spoiler:As revealed in ''Shadowbringers'', the "unsundered" Ascians -- Lahabrea, Elidibus, and Emet-Selch -- are among the sole survivors of an ancient and "unsundered" world that was home to a race of BenevolentPrecursors whose mastery of magic was so great, it bordered on RealityWarping. Unfortunately, RealityWarpingIsNotAToy, as the ancients learned when they lost control of their powers and inadvertedly created monsters capable of destroying the world. This would lead to the summoning of the primal gods, Zodiark and Hydaelyn, whose battle resulted in the world being "sundered" and creating TheMultiverse. The unsundered Ascians' goal is to rebuild their shattered world...which, unfortunately, entails the destruction of the multiverse to "rejoin" their world, and the deaths of everyone living in it. And all of it, the Sundering, Zodiark and all? As Endwalker revealed, it was in response to Meteion, a creation of one of the Ancients, who has gone haywire.]]

# The villain finds some aspect of the heroes' society so fundamentally incompatible with their own beliefs, etc., that [[KnightTemplar they declare war]] on all "normal" society, deeming it [[ItIsBeyondSaving Beyond Saving]].

* ''TabletopGame//WerewolfTheApocalypse'' offers this as an explanation for why the Wyrm is trying to corrupt Gaia's creation. Once, it served as a source of endings, a clean conclusion to all things in the world in time. But the Weaver, the embodiment of order and definition, went a little crazy after trying to figure out why the Wyrm kept breaking her stuff and giving the raw materials to the Wyld, the furnace of creation; so, she wrapped it up in her webs, far too tightly. After experiencing the cosmic equivalent of gangrene, the Wyrm is trying to rot creation just enough that it can break free and let the pain stop already.

'''Buffy:''' Then I'll just have to settle for causing it. ''([[DropTheHammer smacks her with a magical war hammer]])''

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', one of Enel's priests wants to stop suffering in the world and stop the fighting. How? By killing everyone.

* ''Fanfic/{{Confrontation}}'': After [[spoiler:Skidmark]] dies, Squealer wants all of Brockton Bay to ''burn'', starting with the ones who killed them before going on to eliminate every cape in the city.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' [[spoiler:has [[BigBad Rau Le Creuset]], a [[CloningBlues defective clone]] of the vain and self-centered [[AGodAmI Al Da Flaga]]. Created to be Al's successor, Rau was intended to carry on his genetic father's legacy due to Al disowning his own wife and son. But when Al attempted to discard Rau due to having a genetic defect -- shortened telomeres on his chromosomes which indicated Rau's finite, shortened lifespan -- Rau killed the man he was cloned after, setting fire to Al's mansion so that he would burn to death. Rau's experiences of {{Dehumanization}} at the hands of Al, and his dying, decaying body forged Rau's StrawNihilist beliefs, until they -- coupled with his experiences of the increasing conflict between Naturals and Coordinators -- convinced him that HumansAreBastards and as a whole never change from their hateful ways. This led him to become an OmnicidalManiac, [[PlayingBothSides deciding to escalate the war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT]] until [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt humanity exterminated itself]] in the conflict. Being a DeathSeeker himself, Rau hoped to die [[TakingYouWithMe on the terms that humanity be rendered extinct as well]].]]

* Belkt, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode 3'', is this due to an immense quadruple-whammy. Not only was he born into a CrapsackWorld where everyone is trying to kill each other with HumongousMecha [[AfterTheEnd after]] barely surviving TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt as well as being considered nothing more than an expendable tool to his superiors in TheFederation, but he's also got a bad case of [[spoiler:CloningBlues coupled with [[FreudianExcuse the fact that he thought his "father" didn't care about him either]]]]. So not only does he decide to wipe out his ''own'' Earth, but also the Earth of an AlternateUniverse [[spoiler:where his "father" was originally from and his "base" (i.e., the boy he was cloned from) is living a somewhat less screwed-up life as an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent]] via [[EarthShatteringKaboom smashing them into each other]].

* ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'' gives us Motoko Maeda, who reacts to the death of her children at the hands of the vampires by [[spoiler: ''burning down the entire village,'' just to get revenge on her father-in-law, whom she blames. She also ''sells out the vampire mother of her best friend'' to the vampire-hunters, despite the fact that said best friend's mother had never attacked anyone and never would because she's angry that nobody in ''her'' family came back to her!]]

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': a disturbingly large portion of the multiverse is constantly angsting over the death of God and how they're all broken pieces of the divine flesh, and their children by rape are stealing their powers and using them to act like Jokers. The Parliament in particular is bioengineering an all-devourer to consume the multiverse and bring it back to a single surviving being.
