** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': When Zeus regains the power he lost by being usurped back in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' he uses it to go on a genocidal killing spree through the stars. Destroying all life on planets he where he decides too much of the population is "warlike" on his way back to earth where he intends to destroy ''most'' life and subjugate the rest, in a bid to depower or at least annoy ComicBook/{{Ares|DC}} and prevent himself from being usurped again. Zeus cheats by using the power of those Olympians still loyal to him rather than relying on just his own strength.

** ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'': Both ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/HopeSummers (in a spinoff what-if tale only) acquire the power of the Phoenix Force, causing them to succumb to WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity and making them planetary threats equal to the original Dark Phoenix.

** Having the genes of Vegeta and Frieza, [[Characters/DragonBallCell Cell]] is just as prone to planet-destroying bouts of rage as they are. When he finally meets his match in Super Saiyan 2 Gohan he attempts a planet-destroying TakingYouWithMe attack, and when he regenerates from that and comes back he is intent on destroying Earth. He even boasts of his intent to travel the galaxy destroying planet after planet after he is done with Earth.

In order for this to apply, either in-universe evidence or WordOfGod must exist to show beyond a doubt that it is the case. It often uses a SacrificialPlanet and/or overlaps with ApocalypseWow. Characters this applies to are always at least 5 on the SuperWeight scale, but this does not always apply to characters that are a 5 or higher.

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': ComicBook/{{Galactus}} is probably the most prolific planet destroyer of Marvel, as he literally travels the universe consuming planets to survive. It's actually been surprisingly inconsistent over the years just how thoroughly he destroys these planets (after all, in most stories, he gets ''stopped'' before he can pull it off), but usually it means [[LifeDrinker leeching away]] their [[LifeEnergy ability to support life,]] rather than outright tearing them apart.

* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': The primordial symbiote All-Black feasted on entire planets while bonded to Black Galactus and Ego the Necroworld. All-Black also rips Ego apart after bonding to King Loki. In their rematch in ''King Thor'' both Thor and Gorr the God-Butcher are shown smashing and slicing though planets and stars, and Gorr uses it in an attempt to consume the remnants of the universe.

* ''WebComic/DriveDavidKellett'': The Drive works by "pinching" space. If that space happens to be occupied by something, it gets crushed. The bigger the ring, the bigger the pinch. A scout ship causes tremors; a dreadnought can squeeze off ''continental shelves.''
