Gabriel Yulaw

Gabriel Yulaw is the main villain of the Jet Li movie The One - he is an immensely powerful fighter of almost godlike powers who has obtained his status via travelling across parallel-universes killing other versions of himself: his ultimate goal is to kill every single alternate version of himself so that he can become a god (or even God - the exact limits of his power is never revealed). To put things as simply as possible the more versions of himself he kills the more powerful he becomes and by the time he is introduced he is almost on the verge of obtaining his goal of total godhood.
