* ''VideoGame/LiveALive'', [[spoiler:if you choose to play as Oersted, [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds who lost all he held dear while at the same time was demonized by the rest of the world]], you can trigger the Armageddon Ending as a ''menu command'' during the final boss fight, wherein Oersted just flat out wipes the universe. The same ending also plays if you lose the fight against the final boss]].
* A plot point in ''VideoGame/{{Luminous Avenger iX 2}}'': [[spoiler:The BigBad is an all-powerful AI who has spent ages trying to fulfill her directive to revive humans who have gone extinct from her world, as well as longing for her master who left her with said directive. Her constant failure to fulfill her directive and especially her master never returning slowly drove her insane with grief over time, and by the events of the game, she decides to exploit a loophole in her directive which will allow her to bypass said directive, and use her newfound freedom to destroy everything, including herself.]]

** [[spoiler: Shinji's manipulated into doing it for them after reaching the DespairEventHorizon, but is able to come to reality at the last second. Although he has still turned humanity into LCL, it's indicated most of them will be able to regain a physical form.]]
** In the ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' movies, [[spoiler:Gendo's at this again, and nearly succeeds. He overthrows SEELE and kills off all the other branches of NERV before merging with Evangelion 13 and triggering the final Impact.]]

* In ''ComicBook/Flashpoint1999'', boredom with immortality made Vandal Savage try to open a gateway to the end of time and destroy everything on Earth, including himself

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': [[BigBad Salem]] is trying to divide humanity, inciting war and the worst aspects of human behaviour because she wants to destroy [[BigGood Ozpin]], who has faith in the goodness of humanity. She wants to force him and the world to burn. [[spoiler:She was originally cursed with CompleteImmortality, deliberately BarredFromTheAfterlife until she learns the value of life and death. However, the gods used the phrase "for as long as the world turns, you shall walk its face". Because she [[NeverMyFault refuses]] to take the blame for her actions, including turning humanity [[RageAgainstTheHeavens against the gods]], she believes her [[WhoWantsToLiveForever only escape]] is to stop the world turning. She knows the God of Light gave humanity a single chance for redemption by [[ResurrectiveImmortality tasking Ozpin]] to unite humanity in peace and harmony before summoning the gods for [[TheDayOfReckoning Judgement Day]]. If the gods return to see humanity in an irredeemable state, they will destroy the world, which Salem thinks will end her curse.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': WordOfGod has confirmed, despite only being faintly implied in the show itself, that [[FallenHero Nightmare Moon]]'s plan to bring about TheNightThatNeverEnds would have [[OmnicidalManiac killed every living thing in Equestria]] had it succeeded by [[SugarApocalypse slowly freezing the sun-deprived planet to death]]. If Nightmare Moon was aware of this consequence, this trope may have been her intention (depending on whether a [[PhysicalGod Physical Goddess]] requires food, oxygen, or warmth to survive). [[WordOfGod Word of]] [[Creator/LaurenFaust Faust]] says that Nightmare Moon, had she succeeded, would have ushered in "an era of evil"; though the death of all other life certainly fits this description, whether or not this precludes Nightmare Moon's suicide is up to you to decide. Later on the series shows [[GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld none of this was the case]] during a BadFuture segment where Nightmare Moon ''did'' rise to power: her Equestria is gloomy but not a ''terrible'' place to live and very much peaceful and full of life, unlike the other BadFuture segments which range from war-torn to post-apocalyptic, and her followers are more aggressive than Princess Celestia's but hardly "evil" in any sense of the term. Even she, while an EvilOverlord, seems like a NobleDemon and ReasonableAuthorityFigure at worst.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[spoiler: After it is cut off from its main host and [[TheDragon Andrias]]' army is defeated, [[Characters/AmphibiaTheCore The Core]] hijacks the moon and attempts a ColonyDrop on Amphibia as a last act of spite towards the heroes for foiling its plans. It takes a HeroicSacrifice on Anne's part to defeat the Core once and for all]].
