The Doomsday Device is the crowning achievement of any self-respecting Omnicidal Maniac and Mad Scientist. He is usually in the process of creating one at all times, dreaming of the day he can use it to Take Over the World.
Obviously, to build something this high on the Sliding Scale of Villain Threat, he needs a ton of unobtainium or cosmic keystones to make it work, which the villain will have to steal in a string of smaller crimes that will draw the hero's attention to him long before it is complete.
You may notice that in story terms, a Doomsday Device is one big MacGuffin powered by several smaller MacGuffins. Having one in a story is essentially giving a villain a "Collect The Plot Coupon" quest and having the hero stop them.
The nature of the Doom this device will unleash on the world does not matter until the device is actually activated. It rarely is, outside of deconstructions or backstories of ruined worlds. It can essentially do anything, as long as the end result is global or near-global destruction. An Earth-Shattering Kaboom, an army of nanomachines, a Zombie Apocalypse, Weather Control, Frickin' Laser Beams, or a particularly large Horde of Alien Locusts. It's the scale that makes it a Doomsday Device. Typically, a villain will construct one that best reflects his personality.
Also keep in mind, that the entire point of a Doomsday Device is lost... if you keep it a secret, nein?
Compare with Lost Superweapon, Weapon of Mass Destruction and Artifact of Doom. See also Pointless Doomsday Device, where a world-destroying device is made with no clear means to benefit the creator. The method of many Apocalypse How and Apocalypse Wow events. Nearly always a Sub-Trope of Superweapon.

The one and only time the League of Super Evil was considered a true danger was the time their Mad Scientist came up with a device that would've backed up every toilet in the city and had the military rushing out to tell him not to do anything rash. That might seem like a lame example, but consider a major city knee-deep in fecal matter...

Sunrider has two examples:
The Paradox Core is a giant PACT space station that can destroy entire systems by collapsing a star into an artificial black hole. The Solar Alliance reverse-engineers a downscaled version called the Tactical Paradox Warhead, a bomb capable of blowing up a planet.
The Sharr’Lac is an ancient Ryuvian dreadnought that can destroy everything within a half-lightyear radius via a powerful energy pulse. Sola reveals that there used to be entire fleets of similar ships, and that they could potentially destroy the universe if they all fired at once. To prevent this, the Ryuvian Emperors installed safeguards so that only a daughter of the royal bloodline could activate a Sharr’lac, at the cost of her life.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) had the Ultimate Annihilator, which could erase anyone or anything from existence. Robotnik used on Knothole, but was adjusted beforehand by Snivley, trapping it in a temporal pocket dimension for a while. He then used it to erase Robotnik forever.

In Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, Kirk and his crew have to deal with an asteroid that is an orbiting nuclear missile base that threatens to bombard a planet it previously devastated centuries ago. The solution proves to be using a computer virus found in its computer system to interfere with its launch program to make sure it misses the planet.

Revelation Space has the Hell-Class weapons that the Nostalgia For Infinity found in a hidden asteroid base. Their effects vary, but all of them are a Wave-Motion Gun at the very minimum, and the weapons are effectively miniature independent spacecraft in their own right. Ilia Volyova uses one to raze an uninhabited area of Resurgam to coerce the colony into turning over Dan Sylveste. In the sequel Redemption Ark, Volyova uses another to slice a lighthugger in half from several light-minutes away, and the weapons' nature is revealed as Conjoiner-designed weapons built with plans from the future to fight off an unknown threat.

Bleak Expectations: In the fourth series finale, Mr. Benevolent tries to take over the world with a doomsday device made out of cheese (it's that kind of series; scientists figure it has a good chance of working, roughly on 8 out of 10. Maybe 9 if they've been drinking). He and Pip Bin use it to hold the entire world hostage for years, until mankind gets fed up and calls Benevolent's bluff... at which point the cheese turns out to have gone runny. Pip Bin is given a What the Hell, Hero? by God himself, and sent back to prevent these events from happening in the first place.

In X-COM: Interceptor, you eventually discover that the aliens are building a giant, invincible Doomsday Machine, one shot from which will raze the Earth, killing everything and everyone there. Of course, it's invincible, so you can't directly harm it. The only solution X-Com scientists can come up with is the Nova Bomb, a human Doomsday Device that instantly causes a star to explode, wiping out everything in the solar system. Of course, there's nothing preventing you from using it on solar systems that aren't harboring the alien Doomsday Machine...

Whether he counts as a "weapon" or a "character" is hard to say, but the robot Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) might qualify. Never mind the fact that he defeated a whole unit of the U.S. Army by himself; according to Klatu, he could have destroyed the Earth if he had to.

The Mystical Laws: The appropriately named "Ultimate Destruction Weapon" creates a fireball 400,000 times as hot as the sun's core and throws it behind enemy lines. The Godom board of directors even explains that with this weapon, they can wipe out an entire continent at will. However, Leika Chan warns that the weapon will affect the Earth's crust and core, slowly rendering it uninhabitable, but Tathagata doesn't believe her.

In Half-Life 2, the Citadel becomes a bit of one, since it explodes - solely and completely because the energy from the explosion would help tear open a portal between Earth and the Combine home dimension.

A Discussed Trope in After Doomsday when the surviving humans are trying to establish how the Earth was destroyed while they were away on a space expedition. A report comes in that an alien trader sold disruption bombs to a couple of Earth nations that would go off automatically if the nation was attacked. After discussing the issue, they decide the report is a fake as the nation concerned would surely establish an off-world colony as a precaution, and the idea is just plain insane anyway.

Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil deals with the logical outcome of an ancient Dead Hand system (see Real Life section below) outliving its creator civilization. Long time ago, there were not one but two Atlantis-like undersea civilizations: the aptly-named Atlantis, and Mu. They went to war with each other, and either Mu won, or Atlantis collapsed on its own. The Dead Hand system of Atlantis, called Poseidon, is located in Bermuda Triangle and is still fully functional. Its activation will render the world "unhabitable even for the smallest and most resilient insects", and the increase of severe undersea volcanic activity will be interpreted by Poseidon as "the Mu are attacking our last line of defense". So the Mu people beg Doraemon and friends in a suicide mission to destroy the core of Poseidon with Doraemon's future gadgets.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonegut has a fairly potent, if unintentional example of Ice Nine, a seed crystal polymorph that converts all water it touches into duplicate crystals of Ice Nine. It has a melting point of 114 degrees F by the way. "Keep away from moisture" indeed.note "Ice IX" is a real substance, but it doesn't have the properties Vonnegut attributes to it; it only exists at around 2000-4000 times normal atmospheric pressure and temperatures colder than ever naturally occur on Earth, even at the South Pole.

Dr. Hell from Mazinger Z loves built them (and in the manga of Gosaku Ota, he stated he was already working on them when he working for Hitler, but he kept them for himself. He also claimed if he would have revealed all his inventions, Germany would have won the war).
In Great Mazinger, Great Marshall of Hell a revived Dr. Hell grafted into a Humongous Mecha kept on that tradition. One of those devices -appeared only in one of the manga versions- was a giant, ice lens orbited around Earth and worked like a Kill Sat.

Subverted when it ends up injecting it's entire payload at the climax which, while wreaking devastation, is damage Steven is eventually able to fix over time.

Schlock Mercenary introduced long-guns in Book 11, and spent most of the next seven books trying to keep them secret from the greater galactic community because a weapon that can fire through hyperspace at any target with a hypernet connection in the Milky Way galaxy with no indication of where it came from could utterly destroy galactic civilization. In Book 18 the dark matter entities of the Andromeda galaxy turn out to have one that can shoot other galaxies.

Tech Infantry has these, both by name in its Backstory. The Three-D, or DoomsDay Device, is a device that can send a star into supernova, destroying an entire solar system. It was used to defeat a particularly nasty alien invasion, and through the armament of huge mile-long FTL starships that can fire miniature black holes. Several races can toss around asteroids big enough to wipe out the dinosaurs.

Exalted:
The Sword of Creation (aka the Realm Defense Grid). Once fired up you can use it to obliterate entire armies of powerful supernatural monsters. It does also chew up the landscape though, so it is not fit for everyday use.
There's also the Daystar, the gigantic flaming mecha that serves as Creation's sun and the Unconquered Sun's base of operations. It has a cannon that, if fully powered up, will destroy all of Creation. The Unconquered Sun has only used it once - during the days of prehistory, to destroy the blighted copy of Creation a Primordial tried to use to replace the genuine article - but it's noted that, should the world fall to the Yozis, he may have to use it again.

The Sons of the Patriots system in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Every weapon, military vehicle, and even soldiers and mercenaries are integrated with a system that allows any piece of equipment to be used only by designated operators. Stolen equipment is completely useless, and commanders can selectively revoke soldiers' permissions to equipment when they disobey orders. The system also includes a limited form of mind control that makes soldiers almost fearless and immune to pain. While it's presented as an effective solution to put an end to the activities of warlords and rogue units, as well as making armies more efficient, things look completely different once the terrorists get the master password to the main server. With the press of a button, Ocelot shuts down every organized military force in the world with only his personal mercenary companies having a complete monopoly on military capability. The first three of five levels the heroes try to stop him, but ultimately fail as Ocelot takes control of SoP and effectively rules the entire world.

Johan Schmidt's Valkyrie Amerikabomber from Captain America: The First Avenger also counts. It carried a large arsenal of city-busting WMD's and had the ability to traverse the Atlantic in a few hours, at speeds and altitudes that would make it dificult to intercept. It was also powered by the Cosmic Cube. Its intended use was to destroy most of the world's major cities, starting with New York. Schmidt was also targetting Nazi Berlin as well. His "superiors" were not happy.

Emperor Mollusk versus The Sinister Brain:
The System Killer was a bomb so powerful that it could destroy the solar system (and all nine planets within it) that was held by the Saturnites. While the possibility that it could accomplish such devastation was plausible given the Saturnite's trigger-happy dispositions, they never got the chance to use it since Mollusk nearly destroyed Saturn during surrender negotiations with his own doomsday weapon.
Using schematics sent to them by a future version of Emperor Mollusk and the various objects they steal throughout the book (the anti-time radio, the Eiffel Tower, Shambala's molluskotrenic engine), the Council of Egos build a Quantum Certainty Generator, a device that controls the universe on a quantum level and turns possibilities into certainties. It's subverted of course, as Future-Mollusk tricked them into building a telepathic ecstasy field-generator that traps them all in a Lotus-Eater Machine.

In For All Time, Kim Jong-Il develops an impossibly enormous nuclear bomb called the "Glorious People's Revolutionary Hammer" (and announces it to the world while stroking a fluffy white cat). Said bomb is a fusion device with a magnitude of 250,000 megatons, and he threatens to use it if he is not allowed to annex Manchuria and Japan. This results in the world's other nuclear powers nuking Korea back to the stone age.

Dwarf Fortress. Build your own doomsday machine. Envelop the world in fire and water and then mix them both and bury the world under a bed of obsidian. The type of doomsday device you make is limited only by your imagination and how many pathetic minions you kill trying to build it. The most infamous example would be Project "Fuck the World" of Boatmurdered, which flooded the surface map with magma.

One of the premises of the Halo franchise is that all sentient life in the galaxy will end if the titular Halo rings are fired. It was used to starve a galaxy-spanning Eldritch Abomination of viable hosts, as a last resort. The Halo system's second function is to recreate most of the sentient species it killed, though civilization had to start over.

Quite a few in the Star Trek films:
The Genesis Device. It is designed to reshape a dead world into one habitable for humanoid life. However, Dr. McCoy and others realize, if used on a planet where life already exists, it would wipe out that life in favor of its new matrix. This sets up a hook for the sequel, where the Klingons try to acquire the device for themselves.
Dr. Soren's trilithium probe. It stops all fusion within a star, causing it to collapse and generate a shockwave that destroys all planets in the solar system.

Vegnagun in Final Fantasy X-2 was created during the Machina War between Bevelle and Zanarkand, but was never used. The antagonist, Shuyin, wants to use it to wipe out the world so no one can put him back in the absolute hell he spent the past millennium suffering. If you take too long to win the final battle, it goes off, and Spira is obliterated.

In "X", Professor Chang uses the stolen Zynothium to power a giant laser cannon, which he intends to use to destroy the city because... reasons.

The Mouse That Roared (first a book then later a movie starring Peter Sellers in the three top roles) had the plot centering around the "Q-Bomb", a football-sized weapon capable of vaporizing an entire continent and finishing off the rest of the planet with its fallout. Only after the World's Smallest Nation has bullied the world into disarmament is it revealed (only to the readers) that the bomb was a dud.
In the movie we discover that an actual mouse has been nesting inside the bomb. Once it leaves the bomb may be live again.

Evil Genius: Your win condition is to build a Doomsday Device that will hold the whole world hostage. There are three possible devices to build: a Gravity Disruptor (uses some kind of moon-tethered ray to force anti-gravity over a large area), an Earthquake Ray (strong enough to crack open the tectonic plates and erupt lava), and an ID Eliminator (that basically turns everyone into your minion, most of whom are genetically overwritten to a single phenotype).
In the sequel, there's one for each Genius and ties into their vile personality.
Max's M.I.D.A.S., which can turn entire nations into gold, reflecting his belief that money controls everything and his desire to own everything.
Red Ivan's H.A.V.O.C., which is a Weapon of Mass Destruction Wave-Motion Gun that rains down atomic fire, reflecting his despotic tactics and desire to build a new Ivania from the world's ashes.
Emma's V.E.N.O.M., a Hate Plague that can plunge the world into permanent anarchy, reflecting her views on humanity and wish to destroy the world.
Zalika's V.O.I.D., a Mind-Control Device that collects the thoughts of humanity (and turns them into brainwashed zombies), reflecting her belief that humanity is already complacent and needs someone brilliant to rule them.
DLC character Polar has Z.E.R.O., a gigantic Freeze Ray designed to plunge the world into a Glacial Apocalypse; which reflects her fascination with winter and her extreme hatred of global warning.

In Metroid Prime: Hunters The Alimbic built the Omega Cannon to stop the monster Gorea, but decided against using it for fear that Gorea would be able to mimic the cannon's power. In the game proper the Omega Cannon is the only thing that can harm the otherwise invincible Gorea.

Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja: In "Dawn of the Driscoll", a temporarily-revived Jerry Driscoll's goal is to complete the "destroy the world" doomsday device he was building in college. According to his chief academic rival Viceroy, this is because successful completion of such a device guarantees valedictorian at Mad Scientist University. It's apparently been never done, however, because (as Randy points out), the only way to successfully test such a device is to destroy the world. Jerry eventually gives up on using the device after finding out from his (still-living) wife, Randy and Howard's science teacher Mrs. Driscoll, that he can no longer become valedictorian — only to then claim it's time to get started on his "destroy the universe" doomsday device. It's at this point everyone, even Mrs. Driscoll, decides to undo his revival and turn him back into an inanimate skeleton.

In The DCU series called L.E.G.I.O.N., a horrific conflict is neutralized with the application of a potential destructive device. Anyone gets uppity, the device goes off and everyone suffers. Seemingly... the device is just a bunch of shiny bits. It does nothing.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy: Hactar's Ultimate Weapon in Life, the Universe and Everything uses spacewarps to link the core of every sun in the universe to every other sun in the universe, and if triggered would cause every sun in the universe to explode. The species who ordered the creation of this piece of overkill tried to use it to blow up one of their enemies' munitions dumps. Luckily, the weapon didn't actually work, because Hactar, pondering the implications of such a weapon, designed it to be a dud. Later on he got qualms about that.

Magic: The Gathering has several of these; one example would be the Plague Boiler. Three turns after it's played, everything in play that's not a land is destroyed.
Doomsday devices has a long tradition in Magic, going all the way back to Nevinyrral's Disk, which was a direct allusion to Larry Niven's The Magic Goes Away.
Within the game mechanics, Oblivion Stone has much the same idea behind it, appearing to operate by radically altering the fate of the permanents on the battlefield.
In a more story focused context, the Golgothian Sylex was activated at the end of the Brother's War, and was responsible for cleansing the island of Argoth, catastrophically damaging the weather patterns of Dominaria leading to an age of Dark and a subsequent Ice Age, and and shattering the fabric of the multiverse to create the Shard of the Twelve Worlds.
Even the joke sets got in on this, with the World-Bottling Kit.

Tenet. The Algorithm causes temporal inversion of the entire world, destroying the past. The scientist who invented the Algorithm tried to hide the components in the past and committed suicide so she couldn't be forced to build another, but the components have been found and reassembled by Andrei Sator in the present day. It's not revealed who Sator's sponsors in the future are, but either they believe they won't be affected by a Grandfather Paradox or they're too desperate to care in a future Crapsack World.

Doctor Who:
The Doctor regularly encounters villains that revel in these.
Heck, the Daleks themselves are a sort of sentient version of this trope. The Doctor warned their creator exactly how dangerous they were when they were first being created, but he finished them anyway because he always kinda wanted to destroy everything.
"The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End":
Sometimes even the good guys, as witnessed by UNIT's Earth-destroying Osterhagen Key, intended for the purposes of a Mercy Kill if necessary.
Which is small potatoes compared to the Multiverse-extinguishing Reality Bomb built by the Daleks, which required several solar systems' worth of stolen planets to amplify.
"The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang": The TARDIS itself became one inadvertently when it exploded and set off a chain reaction that detonated every star in the universe, although this was undone by Big Bang II.
"The Day of the Doctor": A sizable fraction of the War Doctor's on-screen dialogue is an extended conversation with a sentient doomsday device called the Moment.

At one point in Star Wars (Marvel 1977), the protagonists find a device that is supposed to be able to devastate the entire galaxy. It's never been tested and even its creator didn't know if it would work as designed, but when it gets triggered they destroy it anyway before it can fire. Just in case.

Blake's 7:
In "Countdown", the Federation have hidden a solium bomb that will kill everyone on the planet with radiation poisoning if they rebel. The rebels attempt to seize the control room before it's activated but fail, and the plot involves a Race Against the Clock to locate and disarm the bomb.
Another such weapon is used to protect a society of pacifists in "Volcano". They threaten to detonate the device if any aggressor attempts to land on their planet.
In "Orbit", a Mad Scientist offers his Tachyon Funnel to Avon, a device that can destroy any planet at any range, enabling him to crush the Federation with ease. Of course, it's never that easy...

Emma's V.E.N.O.M., a Hate Plague that can plunge the world into permanent anarchy, reflecting her views on humanity and wish to destroy the world.
Zalika's V.O.I.D., a Mind-Control Device that collects the thoughts of humanity (and turns them into brainwashed zombies), reflecting her belief that humanity is already complacent and needs someone brilliant to rule them.
DLC character Polar has Z.E.R.O., a gigantic Freeze Ray designed to plunge the world into a Glacial Apocalypse; which reflects her fascination with winter and her extreme hatred of global warning.

A few pop up in Star Trek: The Eugenics Wars, both in Khans hands.
A biologically engineered strain of streptococcus that he and his fellow superhumans are immune to was originally engineered by the scientists at Chrysalis to cleanse the world of inferior humanity so their new breed could take up the mantle. Khan gains the formula and manufactures enough for large scale germ warfare. He was foiled and the research base was nuked by another band of superhumans.
A scientist engineers a device that can close holes in the ozone layer. Khan realizes that it can be used to open holes in the ozone layer over enemy nations or even the entire world, allowing him to "slit the world's throat".

In Stellaris, you can build Colossus which is this, and there are 5 different flavors of doom to pick from, depending on your empire ethics. Global Pacifier, Neutron Sweep, Nanobot Dispersal, God Ray or vanilla flavor Planet Cracker? Take your pick! The Nemesis DLC ups the ante by allowing empires to become a crisis and existentially threaten the entire galaxy with two more doomsday devices. The first is the Star-Eater, which consumes entire stars and collapses them into black holes, harvesting a vast amount of dark matter and destroying every planet in the system and every non-Star-Eater ship in the system. This dark matter is vital to the other doomsday device, the Aetherophaesic Engine, which when fully completed wipes out all life in the galaxy and snuffs out every star to destroy the barrier between reality and the Shroud, allowing its builders to enter the Shroud, conquer it, and become gods, thus winning the game.

The Darksaber (not to be confused with the black-bladed lightsaber) deserves special mention; it was supposed to be just the "giant planet-destroying laser" part of the Death Star, but the builder cheated his contractors and it was shredded in an asteroid field without ever firing a shot.
The Eye of Palpatine.
The Nostril of Palpatine. (Okay, this one is a joke. It was the name Han gave to a hypothetical superweapon with alternatives including the Nova Colossus and the Galaxy Destructor, as part of a great speech lampshading the incredible number of useless superweapons the Empire tended to build. And also a giant Take That! to the Bantam novels, aka the Superweapon of the Month Club, who brought you the majority of the above.)

Paperinik New Adventures presents in Pikappa the Evronian Empire's Planetary Coolflamizer. What it does is pretty simple: in an instant, it drains an entire planet's worth of creatures dry of their emotions, winning the Evronians billions of Obedient Slave Mooks and a giant reserve of food.

Nimnul from Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers loved to make these ("Nobody takes a Mad Scientist seriously until he levels a city or two," he tells his nephew), and every time they were powered by something more and more bizarre. His first one was powered by petting cats.

In Great Mazinger, Great Marshall of Hell a revived Dr. Hell grafted into a Humongous Mecha kept on that tradition. One of those devices -appeared only in one of the manga versions- was a giant, ice lens orbited around Earth and worked like a Kill Sat.

In Gary Gygax's Gord the Rogue novels, the villains are on a quest to find three parts to a doomsday device that will free Tharizdun, a universe-destroying insane god who was imprisoned by the rest of the gods for eons. However, the villains do not want to use the device — instead they want to make sure the three parts are kept as far away from each other as possible. That doesn't work out too well.
