Category:God Wannabe

A type of villain frequently found in mangas and video games. As the name implies, these villains seek to become a deity, if not God himself. It is usually powerful and megalomaniacal Dark Lords who seeks absolute and neverending dominion over everything. If they were to achieve their insane goal, they would proclaim themselves the new god of their world (or universe) or overthrow the existing deity and take its place.

Becoming a god usually means to become a "perfect being" immortal, omnipotent and unmatchable, but some might be content by simply becoming all-powerful or immortal, as they already consider that no one can kill or surpass them. Those who already consider themselves as a god also fall in this category, if they are powerful enough and if they coerce the people they oppress to worship them.

On the contrary, omnipotent Reality Warpers, such as Anthony Fremont or Mad Jim Jaspers, despite wielding absolute god-like powers aren't God Wannabes, except if they proclaim to be God or to surpass him on a regular basis. In the same way, "Cult Leader" doesn't necessary mean "God Wannabe."
