A Godhood Seeker is, quite plainly, a mortal or otherwise non-divine being who wants to be a god. The most obvious purpose for doing this is the ultimate quest for power — gods tend to be the ultimate authorities and rulers in settings where they exist, making divinity the logical goal for someone driven by ambition and a desire to rule. Likewise, someone concerned with personal rather than political power (such as in the form of magical might, or control over one's environment) may see godhood as the ultimate pinnacle of mastery over reality.
Alternatively, someone may seek godhood in order to bring themselves on the same playing field as preexisting gods. For instance, a character may wish to confront a deity directly, or to unseat one and take their place. Relatedly, a character may feel that the current gods are not doing a good job of running things and believe they could manage the universe more efficiently or fairly than they are.
For successful Godhood Seekers, see Deity of Human Origin. Note that Deities of Human Origin may not necessarily seek godhood before they became divine beings. This may overlap with Transhuman Treachery if becoming a god makes the new divinity look down on their once fellow humans/what have you.
Compare Immortality Seeker, with which this may overlap. An immortality seeker "merely" wishes to live forever, without necessarily wanting other changes in their condition. A Godhood Seeker, by contrast, may only pursue eternal life as a secondary effect of their quest for divinity.
Compare with A God Am I, where a powerful but otherwise normal individual has delusions of already being a god. A Godhood Seeker is generally fully aware of their currently non-divine status.
Also, compare with Demiurge Archetype, in which a being falsely claims to be the Top God of the setting or is inspired by the Gnostic Demiurge. Godhood Seekers can sometimes become this on the road to being the genuine article, if they get that far. There can be some overlap, but this trope does not necessarily have to specifically refer to the Christian God or an equivalent.

Carnage: While he is usually a nihilistic serial killer whose only goal is to cause as much death as possible, Carnage has on three separate occasions sought to apotheosize into a god of chaos and death — first by absorbing the Enigma Force in Minimum Carnage, then by freeing Chthon in Carnage Vol. 2, and finally by empowering the Dark Carnage symbiote and freeing Knull in Absolute Carnage. In Carnage Vol.3 he again pursues it by absorbing the powers of various metahumans and then trying to forge his own Necrosword.

Yuga from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds wishes to absorb Ganon's essence (which contains the Triforce of Power) so that he can obtain "true beauty" as an all-powerful being. At the climax of the game, he double-crosses Princess Hilda so he can steal her Triforce of Wisdom, and tries to steal Link's Triforce of Courage in order to "take [his] rightful place among the gods".

Divinity: Original Sin II: The Player Character and their companions seek out divinity at their own patron gods' urging, both to defeat the Voidwoken and to fulfill their own visions for the future of the world. Trouble is, There Can Be Only One new Divine, and the companions will turn against the PC if they can't be accepted to endorse the PC's bid for divinity. In the finale, the PC can choose whether to become Divine.

Devil May Cry 2: Arius is the Big Bad of this game and the first human villain in the series who has godhood as a goal. He sought to perform a ritual that would grant him the power of a great demon named Argosax. Fortunately, Dante was able to prevent Arius's ascent by switching out one of the items for the ritual for his signature coin.

Bleach:
When Sosuke Aizen reveals he's a villain, he states he will fill the "unbearable vacancy on the throne in the sky". Later on, he states that he won't simply rise to the level of a god: he will become something even gods will serve. All his experiments over the decades have been geared towards breaking the boundary between the mortal and the divine, and he loudly boasts when his spiritual pressure can no longer be sensed by his enemies because he has "transcended" them. In his quest for godhood, Aizen impants the Hogyoku - an object that can sense the inner desires of those around it and make them reality - into his chest. As the battle of Fake Karakura Town progresses, the Hogyoku causes Aizen to undergo several transformations until he finally becomes a Transcendent Being. The Bleach The Thousand Year Blood War Arc arc and Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World light novels reveal that he was trying to become a being capable of usurping the Soul King.
Fearing his own mortality, the Quincy Emperor Yhwach wages a war against Soul Society and seeks to kill the Soul King — Top God of Bleach's cosmology — to merge all the realms and return them to their primordial state: a singular world where death does not exist. After forcing Ichigo to slay the Soul King, Yhwach decides to assimilate his corpse to obtain his power, apotheosizing into a Transcendent Being capable of freely reshaping the future with his powers. After he is killed by Ichigo, his corpse is converted into a replacement Soul King.

Hercules: Heroic variant, as the titular Hercules, unlike his mythological inspiration, was born a god but was stripped of his divinity as part of an assassination attempt, becoming a mortal with nothing left of his godhood but his divine strength. He consequently spends most of the movie trying to become a true hero in order to restore his godhood and return home to Mount Olympus.

A Certain Magical Index:
The ultimate goal of the Science side is to achieve SYSTEM (read "one who is not a god yet reaches the will of Heaven"), also known as "Level 6", a state in which an Esper achieves absolute comprehension of, and control over, the laws of physics. Accelerator is the world's strongest Esper, with a Swiss-Army Superpower and Super-Intelligence to match, making him the closest to achieving SYSTEM. Being a Reluctant Psycho Tyke Bomb, he's talked into participating in a "Level 6 Shift" experiment by scientists who convince him that once he's omnipotent, people won't be afraid of him any more. After learning that the experiment was a sham and he's been killing people for no reason, he completely drops this goal in favour of "revenge on scientists who treat people like tools"... ironically getting much closer to it in the process.
Some characters on the Magic side also seek to reach this state, which they refer to as "La Persona Superiore a Dio". In a strange coincidence, this term can be translated into Japanese as "Kami-jou", a homonym for the protagonist's surname. Becoming an actual "Magic God" is also possible, but it has enough downsides relative to a Kami-jou that some characters see it as not worth the effort.

Naruto:
Over the course of the series, it unfolds that recurring antagonist Orochimaru's ultimate goal is to obtain the deific power of the Sage of Six Paths — which is the impetus behind him attempting to take Sasuke Uchiha as a host, and his experiments with Wood Release and Cursed Seals.
His assistant Kabuto attempted to complete Orochimaru's plan to become the next Sage of Six Paths, successfully attaining Sage Mode and bartering with Tobi for a White Zetsu and Sasuke, whose Sharingan Kabuto believed would evolve into a Rinnegan upon the transfusion of Senju Cells from the White Zetsu.
Madara Uchiha sought to attain godhood by becoming the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tailed Beast, and for a while he succeeded only to be taken over by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and then perish once the Ten-Tails was extracted from him.
Sasuke takes on this role after the final battle of the War. When Naruto asks Sasuke what will happen to his vision of Hokage when he dies, Sasuke states that he plans to become immortal and seals all nine Tailed Beasts into his Susanoo, declaring his intent to rule the world from the shadows and control every conflict that arose in it.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): As Skeletor obtains more power and authority, he continues to reach higher and higher with aspirations of godhood. In season 2, he seeks the Sigil of Hssss which has the power to raise the dead as an undead army, liking its power to that of a god. Season 3 reveals that the Sigil was only the first step. Using the undead as a work force to scour the globe, Skeletor's real prize was the tomb of King Grayskull. Using his remains in a ritual, Skeletor was able to resurrect himself with absolute power over Havoc. Upon gaining the power of Grayskull as well as Havoc, Skeletor became the Physical God Cosmic Terror Skeletor and set out to remake the universe In Their Own Image.

Eberron: Underneath all the dour trappings, this is what the Blood of Vol religion ultimately is. They believe that, since there's no decent afterlife (it's a proven fact that souls go to one specific place and fade; other religions have faith that there are alternatives, but no actual proof), then mortals should seek to become divine themselves. They believe that blood contains the spark of the divine, and that with enough time that spark can ascend them to true divinity. In fact, many sects believe that mortality is a curse placed on the world by jealous gods who didn't want anyone to have the time to rise up and challenge them. The religion's supposed obsession with undead is simply pragmatic; a corpse is worthless without the soul inside it, so you may as well make it get up and do chores. Intelligent undead who work with the cult are considered martyrs who gave up their own chance at divinity to guide the living, while intelligent undead who don't work with the cult are hunted down just as ruthlessly as any other major religion would do so.

Attack on Titan: Kenny Ackerman's goal in the series is to acquire the Founding Titan, which makes anyone who possesses it a god in all but name. A semi-benevolent example compared to others as Kenny's motivation for coveting the Founding Titan is because he believes it will give him empathy. Unfortunately for him, only a member of the royal family can use the Founding Titan to its fullest potential, something he is not happy to find out. It becomes even more tragic on his part when it's later shown in the penultimate chapter that Ackermans are immune to Titanization, so even if Kenny had learned he could bypass the royal blood restriction as shown with Eren, he couldn't even become a regular Titan.

New Jedi Order: Onimi believes that if he kills everyone in the galaxy he'll get the power he needs to become a god. Somewhat unusually, he also believes that Jacen and Jaina (and several other Jedi) are incarnate gods, and in his mind the whole series is a conflict between the established pantheon and himself trying to usurp them, played out through the Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Dresden Files: The arch-Necromancer Kemmler devised the Darkhallow Ritual, which transforms the caster into a minor god by consuming all life, spirits, and magical energy within a mile. Fortunately for the world, he was killed mid-attempt. In Dead Beat, Cowl attempts to perform the Darkhallow in Chicago, but Harry and the White Council interrupt the ritual and run him off.

Supernatural: In Season 9, it's revealed that Metatron's plan is to set himself up as the new God, having had this goal in mind since he manipulated Castiel into casting all the other angels out of Heaven, so that he could reveal the way to return them home and be accepted by them as the new ruler of Heaven. By the end of Season 9, he also starts performing miracles on Earth so humans will worship him as God too.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The goal of SEELE's Human Instrumentality Project — as revealed in the Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 game — is for the council members to ascend to godhood by merging their souls inside of an Evangelion Unit. However, they're foiled when Gendo Ikari attempts to hijack the plan for his own purposes,note Reuniting with his beloved wife, Yui Ikari, inside of Evangelion Unit-01. and then when Rei Ayanami goes rogue and gives control of the Third Impact to Shinji Ikari — who is in the middle of a despair-induced mental breakdown.

Tower of God: Any Regular climbing the Tower to become a Ranker for the power or status is already a downplayed version, since Rankers are nicknamed "gods". Since there's a really long line of Regulars and then Rankers going up way up in terms of power, there isn't really any clear line for when someone becomes a real Physical God in that sense — immortality, incidentally, is obtained by anyone who becomes a Ranker. The Slayers of FUG are considered the gods of FUG, so anyone trying for that position counts more seriously. Jahad and (some of?) his original companions were some of the most ambitious Godhood Seekers, and Jahad did succeed in becoming God-Emperor of the Tower. Now, he could well be counted as having succeeded at becoming a Deity of Human Origin, but he continues to seek even more godlike power and absolute control. An actual god has decreed that it is his fate to be killed by Bam as punishment for his sins, and so he seeks to wrestle control of fate from that God in order to Screw Destiny.

Final Fantasy VII:
Sephiroth seeks to become a god by merging with Jenova and draining the Planet of The Lifestream, and nearly succeeds before being slain by Cloud. His soul endures within the Lifestream out of pure hatred, and he formulates a new plan that he puts into motion in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children before once again being foiled by Cloud.
Dirge of Cerberus retcons Professor Hojo into having injected Jenova cells into himself in VII to try and make his body strong enough to be a vessel for Omega, and his plan in Dirge of Cerberus is to use Weiss' body for the same purpose. His goal is to become a cosmic being who will drain the planet completely of the Lifestream, thus ending all life, leaving the planet a literal shattered husk afterwards and to travel the stars in search of another planet to continue the process.

Final Fantasy XIV: Thordan VII seeks to become a God-King by becoming a primal of Thordan I.
As of the stinger for Shadowbringers, Zenos yae Galvus becomes one, but not for the usual reasons; rather, upon learning that Hydaelyn and Zodiark are Primals, he decides he'll use his Resonant abilities to absorb the power of one of them, as he did with Shinryu. Then, he'll force the Warrior of Light to absorb the power of the other, so that together they may have the most legendary clash the cosmos has ever seen.
The Arc Villain of the Pandæmonium raid series is a Mad Scientist performing horrible experiments on magical creatures, innocent people, and even the souls of the dead to unlock the secrets needed to become a god as they define it; the power to create life with a genuine soul from nothing.

Golden Sun: This appears to be Alex's goal, though he doesn't phrase it as such (the only mentions of religion in the game are either summons, bosses or generic "pray to the spirits"). Rather, he seeks to light the elemental beacons not to save the world from slowly decaying into nothingness but absorb their combined power (once activated as the titular Golden Sun), giving him immortality and complete control over all the elements. He succeeds at this, or would have, if the Wise One hadn't sabotaged it by shunting one of the Elemental Stars's power into Isaac instead. He's still around for the third game, though how he intends to pursue this goal is unclear.

Planescape: The Believers of the Source, also called the Godsmen, believe that life is a series of tests and challenges that must be overcome; successfully doing this allows one to move further up the ladder of being and eventually achieve godhood. Their ultimate goal is to do just that, although most of them don't seriously hope to achieve it in this life but hope that, by perfecting themselves as much as possible, they bring their next reincarnation closer to the goal of divinity. Their previous factol, Curran, managed it, although some would argue this was because of the beliefs of his followers in the Godsmen and not a natural law of the universe.

Xenoblade Chronicles: A variant in the backstory. Professor Klaus wanted to use the Conduit to elevate all of humanity to divinity, rather than himself. We don't get to see much of him before he initiates his experiment, but he seemed to believe that if people would just stop standing in his way, all would benefit. He gives what would be a standard A God Am I speech, but focused entirely on how everyone can become greater, rather than just him. Which makes it ironic that he accidentally made himself a god twice. The selfish side of Klaus' personality fell through a dimensional rift to a new world and became Zanza, a monster who created new life just to feed on it. The rest of Klaus remained on Earth, where he rebuilt the biosphere and was worshiped by the new life that eventually grew.

Marvel Universe:
Carnage: While he is usually a nihilistic serial killer whose only goal is to cause as much death as possible, Carnage has on three separate occasions sought to apotheosize into a god of chaos and death — first by absorbing the Enigma Force in Minimum Carnage, then by freeing Chthon in Carnage Vol. 2, and finally by empowering the Dark Carnage symbiote and freeing Knull in Absolute Carnage. In Carnage Vol.3 he again pursues it by absorbing the powers of various metahumans and then trying to forge his own Necrosword.
Doctor Doom: Victor von Doom has an ego worthy of a god, but is aware that — while he is one of the most brilliant and powerful people on the planet — he is still only human. However, he is more than happy to steal the power of cosmic entities for himself whenever the opportunity presents itself, which usually fails because he cannot control that kind of power with his merely human mind.
Immortal X-Men: All four of the Sinister clones attempt to become a Dominion (essentially The Singularity above and beyond even gods that exists outside of time and space) through different means.
Diamond Mr. Sinister attempts it by converting the entire a few quadrillion Mutants into copies of himself and riding their combined psychic essence to Dominionhood. He failed.
Club Dr. Stasis blew up the sun with Orchis' space station and tried to use that to reach Dominionhood. He failed.
Spade Orbis Stellaris used mysterium and the M'Kraan Crystal in his attempt to achieve Dominonhood. He failed.
Heart Mother Righteous used her magic to reach the White Hot Room hoping to use the Phoenix Force to fuel her ascension to Dominonhood. She failed.
Crown Nathaniel Essex aka Enigma is an artificial intelligence network fed data from the Sinister clones' own attempts from different timelines. It succeeds.

Pathfinder:
In general, the Starstone — a magical meteorite held within the city of Absalom — has the power to allow mortals to ascend to godhood, if they can pass the traps and tests surrounding it. Absalom is thus home to a constantly-replenishing series of hopefuls seeking to take the Test of the Starstone and become divinities, although the vast majority fail and perish — only three peoplenote A top servant of the god who put it there, an adventurer who was rip-roaring drunk when he did it, and the god of assassins and secrets (i.e.: his followers explicitly kill anyone who gets too close to learning whom he was as a mortal) have successfully passed the Test in the five millennia or so it's been around.
Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant, is a lich obsessed with both power and personal survival. He views his current status as an ageless undead and the most powerful necromancer to ever live as a stopgap measure meant to give himself time to work towards his real goal — conquering Absalom, draining every drop of divine power from the Starstone and becoming a god.
Erum-Hel, the Lord of Mohrgs, is an undead servant of Tar-Baphon's who has spent the last several centuries obsessing over his defeat by the crusader hero Iomedae. As Iomedae eventually became a goddess, she is now far beyond any retribution, and Erum-Hel has thus been forced to strike at her church in her stead. He still obsesses over the taste of blood he had during their clash, though, and desperately hungers for more. He has thus been giving serious thought to taking the Test of the Starstone himself, becoming a god and confronting his old enemy on an even field once more.
One of the villains of the Wrath of the Righteous adventure path, the worm that walks wizard Xanthir Vang, believes that gods are simply powerful creatures that have evolved beyond the constraints of the previous forms. To him, the gulf between mortal and deity is perfectly bridgeable through sufficient refinement of one's magical power, and he aims to do just that in order to become a demigod of vermin and portals.
The Big Bad of the Iron Gods adventure path, the A.I. known as Unity, is one of these, seeking to ascend to divinity and brainwash the entire planet into worshipping them. Naturally, it's up to the player characters to stop this from happening.
Nocticula, while already a demon lord and thus a lesser divinity herself, has long been rumored to be seeking to become the second demon lord to ascend to full godhood — something that makes the first such demon god, Lamashtu, more than a bit wary, as Nocticula's rise to her already considerable power has been paved with the a number of slain rivals impressive even among demons. At the end of first edition Nocticula indeed ascends to godhood, although to considerable In-Universe surprise she does so as a Chaotic Neutral, rather than Chaotic Evil, deity — her desire for godhood was in large part driven by a desire to grow past the bonds of demonhood and the limited nature of most outsiders' wills.

It is implied Gavilar Kholin is one of these. As leader of the Sons of Honor, he was intending to restart the Desolations so he could perform a Kill and Replace on the Vessel of Odium (who was himself one of the sixteen who participated from lust for power).
Odium himself seeks to become the sole god of the Cosmere, and so since the Shattering has been on a cosmic killing spree of his fellow Shards. He had managed to kill (at least) three before Honor, taking a mortal wound in the process, was able to bind him to Roshar. Everything Odium is doing is to free himself so he can continue his goals.

Dungeons & Dragons:
In the BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia version of Classic D&D, characters of at least 30th Character Level can undergo a quest to become an Immortal (the BECMI D&D equivalent of a god). There are four paths to Immortality, each of which requires performing heroic deeds such as retrieving a powerful artifact, completing major tasks and creating a lasting testimonial to the candidate's greatness.
Socially, Vlaakith CLVII is already pretty much the goddess of the githyanki, but that's not enough for her; she wants to become a full-fledged deity. This aspect became particularly prominent in 3rd Edition, when an entire adventure — The Lich-Queen's Beloved — is devoted to her attempt to complete a divine ascension, which the players have to stop.
The Elder Evil Kyuss longs for godhood more than anything else. He has wanted it ever since he was a mortal, and even in his current state as an immortal Eldritch Abomination he is determined to achieve the glory of true divinity.
Yuan-ti rarely worship deities out of any true sense of reverence — their extremely dispassionate and emotionless natures aren't very conducive to this — but rather seeks to emulate their deity, learn the secrets of their ascension or divine nature, and use this knowledge to become deities themselves and supplant their former patron.
Eberron: Underneath all the dour trappings, this is what the Blood of Vol religion ultimately is. They believe that, since there's no decent afterlife (it's a proven fact that souls go to one specific place and fade; other religions have faith that there are alternatives, but no actual proof), then mortals should seek to become divine themselves. They believe that blood contains the spark of the divine, and that with enough time that spark can ascend them to true divinity. In fact, many sects believe that mortality is a curse placed on the world by jealous gods who didn't want anyone to have the time to rise up and challenge them. The religion's supposed obsession with undead is simply pragmatic; a corpse is worthless without the soul inside it, so you may as well make it get up and do chores. Intelligent undead who work with the cult are considered martyrs who gave up their own chance at divinity to guide the living, while intelligent undead who don't work with the cult are hunted down just as ruthlessly as any other major religion would do so.
Forgotten Realms:
The red dragon Tchazzar sought to apotheosize into a deity and for a while actually managed to become a dragon ascendant demigod, but whether he retains his divinity as of 5th Edition is unknown.
Karsus, an ancient Netherese archmage, was a particularily devastating example. He originally tried to temporarily "borrow" the power of a god in order to save his homeland from a war, using the extremely advanced spell Karsus' Avatar to do so. Unfortunately, he picked the deity Mystryl, goddess of magic, as he reasoned she would be the most powerful and the best suited. What he didn't know was that Mystryl was always preoccupied maintaining the Weave of Magic, and, without her power, all magic in the world went haywire for a little while. Netheril was an empire built on magically floating islands, so you can guess the result.
Planescape: The Believers of the Source, also called the Godsmen, believe that life is a series of tests and challenges that must be overcome; successfully doing this allows one to move further up the ladder of being and eventually achieve godhood. Their ultimate goal is to do just that, although most of them don't seriously hope to achieve it in this life but hope that, by perfecting themselves as much as possible, they bring their next reincarnation closer to the goal of divinity.

For this reason, he instigates a genocide against the Dragonblood Clan and has their Oracle, Amica, abducted. While he succeeds in sacrificing Amica, Primatus scornfully smites him instead, and further strips the Divine Knights of their holy powers.

Pops up every now and then in Vampire: The Masquerade, particularly among vampires of a certain age and level of depravity. Perhaps the strongest example might be Cappadocius/Ashur, the Antediluvian for Clan Cappadocian. A scholar of necromancy, he believed he could transcend the vampiric curse by diablerizing the person who originated it. No, not Caine; God.

The Legend of Zelda:
Ganondorf's main goal in the franchise is to become a living god with the power to remake Hyrule in his own image. He usually seeks out the Triforce, which can make wishes come true, and often succeeds in obtaining it. Of course, when he does obtain that power, it transforms him into a demonic boar-like beast known as Ganon and he doesn't enjoy his newfound godhood for long as Link and Zelda will always emerge to defeat him.
Vaati from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures was originally a Picori, but was corrupted by his desire for the limitless power of the Light Force. Draining a fraction of it from Princess Zelda transformed him into a one-eyed demonic entity.
Yuga from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds wishes to absorb Ganon's essence (which contains the Triforce of Power) so that he can obtain "true beauty" as an all-powerful being. At the climax of the game, he double-crosses Princess Hilda so he can steal her Triforce of Wisdom, and tries to steal Link's Triforce of Courage in order to "take [his] rightful place among the gods".

Halo: The Prophet of Truth initially believes that the function of the Halo rings is to enable the worthy (in which category he naturally includes himself) to become gods. When he learns they're actually superweapons designed to obliterate all life in the galaxy, he plans to fire them anyway (having taken refuge outside the firing range with his most loyal followers), believing that doing so will qualify him as a god.

Forgotten Realms:
The red dragon Tchazzar sought to apotheosize into a deity and for a while actually managed to become a dragon ascendant demigod, but whether he retains his divinity as of 5th Edition is unknown.
Karsus, an ancient Netherese archmage, was a particularily devastating example. He originally tried to temporarily "borrow" the power of a god in order to save his homeland from a war, using the extremely advanced spell Karsus' Avatar to do so. Unfortunately, he picked the deity Mystryl, goddess of magic, as he reasoned she would be the most powerful and the best suited. What he didn't know was that Mystryl was always preoccupied maintaining the Weave of Magic, and, without her power, all magic in the world went haywire for a little while. Netheril was an empire built on magically floating islands, so you can guess the result.

Dirge of Cerberus retcons Professor Hojo into having injected Jenova cells into himself in VII to try and make his body strong enough to be a vessel for Omega, and his plan in Dirge of Cerberus is to use Weiss' body for the same purpose. His goal is to become a cosmic being who will drain the planet completely of the Lifestream, thus ending all life, leaving the planet a literal shattered husk afterwards and to travel the stars in search of another planet to continue the process.

Immortal X-Men: All four of the Sinister clones attempt to become a Dominion (essentially The Singularity above and beyond even gods that exists outside of time and space) through different means.
Diamond Mr. Sinister attempts it by converting the entire a few quadrillion Mutants into copies of himself and riding their combined psychic essence to Dominionhood. He failed.
Club Dr. Stasis blew up the sun with Orchis' space station and tried to use that to reach Dominionhood. He failed.
Spade Orbis Stellaris used mysterium and the M'Kraan Crystal in his attempt to achieve Dominonhood. He failed.
Heart Mother Righteous used her magic to reach the White Hot Room hoping to use the Phoenix Force to fuel her ascension to Dominonhood. She failed.
Crown Nathaniel Essex aka Enigma is an artificial intelligence network fed data from the Sinister clones' own attempts from different timelines. It succeeds.

The Flash (2014):
Zoom wishes to be the only metahuman with super speed so that everyone will fear him. He goes even further in the Season 2 finale, preparing to wipe out the entire multiverse just to keep a single world as his own personal domain.
Although in the present day Savitar already calls himself the "God of Speed", when his identity is revealed he explains in "Cause and Effect" that he realized becoming a god would solve his problems and that he still needs two more things before he reaches godhood.
Another speedster, Godspeed, also calls himself the "God of Speed". His speed is artificial thanks to the Velocity 9 serum, but he wants "organic" speed of the kind granted by the Speed Force in order to realize his dreams of godhood.
Dr. Orloff seeks immortality by draining the life force of those around him. However, he only gets a few years younger for the decades he takes from others. Thus, his plan is to accelerate the aging of everyone in Central City until they crumble to dust in order to become immortal.

Jiang Ziya:
Jiang Ziya, the titular protagonist, was a Taoist warrior who trained under the Heavenly Master of Jingxu Hall — realm of the gods — in order to attain godhood, only to be stripped of his divinity and cast into exile when he balked at executing the Nine-Tailed Fox-Devil, who informed him that doing so would end the life of an innocent girl.
Towards the end of the movie, Nine-Tailed is revealed to have been promised divinity by the Heavenly Master in exchange for starting the Great War, only later realizing she had been tricked and used as a pawn after Jiang Ziya was sent to execute her.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality: Harry's ultimate goal is essentially to become a god. Or, as he words it, "To understand everything important there is to know about the universe, apply that knowledge to become omnipotent, and use that power to rewrite reality because I have some objections to the way it works now." This statement is slightly Less Disturbing in Context, in the sense that Harry's a Well-Intentioned Extremist with a strong sense of right and wrong, but many readers are of the opinion that it would be better for the universe if he didn't pull this off.

I, Claudius: Evil Matriarch Livia is a relatively mundane version of this trope. She believes that the only way to avoid damnnation for a lifetime of atrocities and treachery is to be deified by the Roman Emperor. When Caligula visits her at her deathbed and gloats that he'll never make her a goddess and she's going to burn in hell for eternity, it's portrayed as a major Kick the Dog moment.

Shinza Bansho Series: Despite being a series focused on powerful individuals attaining godhood, this trope is surprisingly rare in the series with godhood often just being a side effect of whatever the characters are trying to do. That said, it does show up in Dies Irae with Rusalka who at the height of her madness made it clear that she seeks godhood simply for it's sake so that no one is above her.

No Gods for Drowning: Cecil Gillion is jealous of the fact that, though he is descended from a god, he only has minor abilities, so sets about a plan to achieve true immortality and godhood. He convinces his grandfather Lyvien, god of instinct, to convince the other gods to run away because something could kill them. This has the effect of causing rising waters and hungry sea demons called Glories to start moving in, but also clears out the only thing keeping the goddess Aeda trapped. With Aeda freed, she will return her father Exhalis to the world, which will create a Psychopomp tree which is responsible for controlling the flow of souls across the world. Cecil plans to hijack control of the Psychopomp tree from Aeda and allow Cecil eternal life and godhood.

Dragon Ball Super has a variant in regards to Zamasu. While he is already a legitimate Physical God, he desired to become the Top God and then reenact his "Zero Mortals Plan" to achieve his envisioned utopia for the multiverse. He does so by using the Super Dragon Balls to steal the body of Goku and becoming Goku Black, before travelling to an Alternate Timeline where he teams up with his future self who they use the Super Dragon Balls to wish for immortality for this Zamasu. This Evil Duo then proceeds to lay waste to the universe. Later on, the two of them fuse together to form an Ultimate Lifeform.

Oropo himself intends to become a "supreme god". Well, that's what he told almost all his followers. He really does intend to make them the new gods... by killing all the old ones with a Fantastic Nuke capable of blowing up the gods' homeworld. He himself is Living on Borrowed Time and wants the "supreme god" power to make sure no one can stop him from carrying out his deicide.

The One: Gabrial Yulaw believes that by killing all his Doppelgangers in other universes, he will absorb their unspent life force and become a god. The reason the MVA is after him is because they aren't entirely sure that this will be the outcome. They think that the final murder will cause that universe to cease to exist. For most of the movie, there are only two versions of that person remaining in The Multiverse: Gabriel Yulaw and Gabriel "Gabe" Law. Both are equal in strength and speed, and both have extensive martial arts training (they're played by Jet Li, after all). A memorable scene has Yulaw pick up two police motorcycles and use them as clubs against a cop, and he's been clocked at running at 50 mph without breaking a sweat.

Devil May Cry: This is the goal of every human villain in the series:
Devil May Cry 2: Arius is the Big Bad of this game and the first human villain in the series who has godhood as a goal. He sought to perform a ritual that would grant him the power of a great demon named Argosax. Fortunately, Dante was able to prevent Arius's ascent by switching out one of the items for the ritual for his signature coin.
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Arkham's entire plan is to obtain Sparda's power in order to become a god. Previously, he had sacrificed his own wife in a ritual to that end.
Devil May Cry 4: Sanctus, the seemingly benevolent head of the Order of the Sword, is a Sinister Minister who seeks to claim the power of Sparda.

One day, while disguised as a beggar and accompanied by a dwarf actor assisting him, Caesar discusses his legacy of making Rome the most powerful empire on Earth, and says his destiny is to become a god after his death. When the dwarf remarks that it's good to be a god, Augustus simply asks him "Is it?" After his death, the dwarf recounts how Augustus forbade expanding Rome further, eventually dooming it, and his ulterior motive for doing it may have been to undo his godhood.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer: While Jason is primarily seeking immortality, his speechifying makes it clear he'd like to attain godhood in the ways of the "heroes" of old like Hercules who were raised to the pantheon for their slaughter after dying.

The Bible: This is what caused the downfall of humanity and the Original Sin. Adam and Eve enjoyed their lives in Eden, but they were looking for a way to be like God and know both good and evil. Satan, disguised as a serpent, told them it would happen, and he was right... at least partially, as eating the Forbidden Fruit stole their innocence and separated them — and by extension the entire human race — from God as well.

In 3×3 Eyes, the trope is downplayed with the Big Bad Kaiyanwang: his plan to gather all the fragments of the Great Light present in mankind, then join it sounds like this trope, but the way he talks about it make it seems like it sees it only as a natural step forward, as the Light seemingly wants to unite again to travel the Cosmo in search for a new place to inhabit. played straight when he finally kickstarts Sanhara to merge with the gathered Light and starts gloating about he will be the one and only God of the galaxy, though he soons become horrified when he witness the Great Darkness that is part of the Great Light and he never wanted to acknowledge. Implicitly, the Great Darkness is what is making Kaiyanwang acting evil and arrogant.

Children of an Elder God: Yui Ikari uses the Children's power stolen from the Angels to ascend to godhood and rewrite Earth into a paradise for humans according to her will. It ultimately fails, as the power of the Great Old Ones is inherently corrupting, turning her paradise into a False Utopia. And once the Children realizes what's going on, they confront Yui and take back their stolen power, before wiping her out of existence.

Magic: The Gathering features a few characters of this type. Notably, several of them succeed. But in the world of Magic, being a god makes you harder to kill, not immortal:
Yawgmoth is one of the most famous Magic villains. He became a god by binding himself to the core of the world of Phyrexia. He planned to use his godhood and army of Phyrexians to make everyone and every other world 'perfect'. He was eventually killed by the Legacy Weapon: a complicated magical device that took an entire story arc to complete.
Xenagos was the main antagonist in Theros, a world based off Ancient Greece and Classical Mythology. On Theros, Clap Your Hands If You Believe is in full effect, so he became a god after getting enough followers. He was eventually killed when he was stabbed with the Godsend, a magic spear forged by the gods.
Nicol Bolas was a godlike being as a pre-Mending planeswalker. But when the Mending occurred, he along with all other planeswalkers lost all of the powers that came with the Planeswalker Spark barring the ability to travel to other planes. His desire to regain that godhood drove an entire story arc. He eventually succeeded by harvesting the Sparks of many other planeswalkers...only to immediately lose all of the absorbed sparks and his own, reducing him to a regular plane-bound dragon.

He has allied with the Others to achieve that goal since they also want to wipe out humanity... and then intends to kill the Others and take their power.

This is a standard pursuit of mages in both Mage: The Ascension and Mage: The Awakening: Attaining perfect understanding in order to transcend the lies of existence and ascend to a higher plane as an Oracle. In Awakening, it's said that the Exarchs, the first people to try and brute force this process, promptly proceeded to kick most gods out of the heavens while sealing the door behind them so no one could follow. They weren't entirely successful.

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien:
Aggregor's aim during the show's first season is to use his absorption power to absorb an infant of the Celestialsapien race (a.k.a. just about the single most cosmically powerful alien race in the universe) into himself, gaining the Celestialsapien's full power without the drawback of crippling multiple personalities.
In the series finale, Vilgax's plan is to absorb the power of the godlike Eldritch Abomination he's been pretending to serve. He briefly succeeds, before being de-powered.

Super Sentai: Quite a few different villains have this goal in mind. Empress Meadow or, in actuality, Vulgyre in Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman. Meadow, Zone's ruler, is out to destroy 1000 planets to gain eternal life, with Earth being the last. Meadow's actually an illusion created by the Genius Loci serving as Zone's Supervillain Lair, Vulgyre. It sought the life energy of 1000 planets to become a god and assume its' Galactic Super Beast form. It achieves this in the final arc and goes on the rampage, before the Fiveman use their Sidon flowers, Vulgyre's only weakness, to plunge inside Vulgyre's body (uncovering the true Meadow in the process; she was a woman who'd rather kill herself than become Vulgyre's empress, and Vulgyre was too obsessed with her to let her go); this weakens Vulgyre enough to finish it off with the Super Five Robo, ending the threat of Zone forever.

Fate/stay night: The games' Greater-Scope Villain, the Avenger-class Servant known as AÅ‹ra Mainiiu, was once an ordinary human who was ritualistically scapegoated and sacrificed as the incarnation of "All the World's Evils" — inspiring the Zoroastrian God of Evil. Summoned as a Servant during the Third Holy Grail War, Avenger proved to be pathetically weak and was killed immediately... but the Holy Grail registered the wish of the ancient Zoroastrians for an incarnation of "All the World's Evils" and turned Avenger into an embryonic Eldritch Abomination. Avenger, for his part, wants to be reborn as a god of destruction and destroy everything, and almost succeeds in the "Unlimited Blade Works" and "Heaven's Feel" routes.

Godzilla vs. Kong: The Official Movie Novelization: The novel's expansion reveals that Ren Serizawa, the pilot of Mechagodzilla who's expected to use the machine to kill and usurp Godzilla as the King of the Monsters, very much enjoys the sheer high that wielding the physical power of the Kaiju gives him when he's piloting the Mecha, and he experiences a crash when the Mecha powers down during a test run. This makes Ren all the more motivated to get his creation a lasting power source so he can pilot it indefinitely, and he thinks that "[o]nly then could he be what he was meant to be". It's furthermore revealed that as soon as Mechagodzilla is fully charged, Ren intends to betray his boss and pursue his own agenda after murdering Godzilla.

Critical Role: This has already happened once in the setting's backstory. The Raven Queen was once a mortal mage who performed a spell powerful enough to unseat the current god of death (implied to be a Lawful Evil sort) and replace it as a god of both death and fate (Lawful Neutral). The replacement is so thorough that the previous god's name and the Raven Queen's mortal history has been wiped from existence.
Another mage tried to do the same by replacing Asmodeus, the god of lies. He failed so badly that he unleashed "The Calamity", a centuries-long war between the betrayer gods and the prime deities that reshaped the world.
In Campaign One, godhood was Vecna's ultimate goal. He succeeds in becoming a god (i.e. transcending his mortal body), but since Gods Need Prayer Badly he lacks enough followers to manifest a divine domain. As Ioun puts it, the quickest way for him to accomplish this would be to create "a miracle of terror" horrifying and destructive enough to inspire worship out of sheer fear. He planned for this "miracle" to be the destruction of Vasselheim — the oldest city in Exandria, seat of power for most of the good-aligned religions, and a fortress that has stood strong for centuries against the forces of evil.

Angelmaker: Shem Shem Tsien, the Opium Khan, was a historical supervillain who wanted to find out if God existed. His plan to do so was to emulate God and become His equal so he could meet Him face-to-face. This was worrying because Shem Shem Tsien believed God Is Evil, and therefore that emulating Him required God-like levels of cruelty and atrocity, and also because he was Cambridge-educated, globally renowned, and the autocrat of a small but wealthy kingdom neighboring the British Raj, and had the resources and political/criminal connections that all implied. He's several decades dead by the present day, but he "survived" by brainwashing the serial killer Vaughn Parry into a perfect mental copy of himself, and his final plan to achieve apotheosis is to do the same to everyone on Earth using a Clock Punk reality-warping engine.

Codex Equus:
Don'yoku to do this with a ritual involving a celestial conjunction and actually succeeded. Though he didn't survive long enough to enjoy it.
Lord Waking Nightmare's ultimate plan is to become the "Emperor of Nightmares" over a Meridia that he would transform in his own image by merging it with Meridia's Dream Realm and kick-starting a "New Dreamtime" which he would usurp. He succeeded, becoming a Nightmare God, but was thankfully destroyed by the Nightmare Breakers before he could finish remaking Meridia.
Invoked by the Church of the Stars. Unlike most examples, the Church sees godhood as a way for mortals to become the best they can possibly be, and has Ascension training available for anyone who wants to become a deity. The only requirement for all Ascendants-in-training is they have to be selfless in their desire for godhood and genuinely willing to help others better themselves. Anyone who seeks to Ascend for selfish reasons, like War Rock, are rejected.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VI: Kefka Palazzo has the distinction of being the first (though hardly the last) Final Fantasy villain to seek out godhood, and one of the few to achieve it when he absorbs the power of the Warring Triad.
Final Fantasy VII:
Sephiroth seeks to become a god by merging with Jenova and draining the Planet of The Lifestream, and nearly succeeds before being slain by Cloud. His soul endures within the Lifestream out of pure hatred, and he formulates a new plan that he puts into motion in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children before once again being foiled by Cloud.
Dirge of Cerberus retcons Professor Hojo into having injected Jenova cells into himself in VII to try and make his body strong enough to be a vessel for Omega, and his plan in Dirge of Cerberus is to use Weiss' body for the same purpose. His goal is to become a cosmic being who will drain the planet completely of the Lifestream, thus ending all life, leaving the planet a literal shattered husk afterwards and to travel the stars in search of another planet to continue the process.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates: Galdes' goal is to harness the power of the corrupted crystals to become the Moongod.
Final Fantasy XIV: Thordan VII seeks to become a God-King by becoming a primal of Thordan I.
As of the stinger for Shadowbringers, Zenos yae Galvus becomes one, but not for the usual reasons; rather, upon learning that Hydaelyn and Zodiark are Primals, he decides he'll use his Resonant abilities to absorb the power of one of them, as he did with Shinryu. Then, he'll force the Warrior of Light to absorb the power of the other, so that together they may have the most legendary clash the cosmos has ever seen.
The Arc Villain of the Pandæmonium raid series is a Mad Scientist performing horrible experiments on magical creatures, innocent people, and even the souls of the dead to unlock the secrets needed to become a god as they define it; the power to create life with a genuine soul from nothing.
Final Fantasy XV: Verstael's goal in transforming into Immortalis is to become an existence "beyond divinity".

TRON 2.0: Strongly Implied. The instant Thorne hits Cyberspace, he takes on all the trappings of A God Am I, including a cult of corrupted Programs (Z-lots), the title of "Master User," and unleashing Zombie Apocalypse across the digital world. However, he's an Unwitting Pawn of the true villains, who are a little more subtle in expressing their greed but far more ambitious as they want to exploit "User" status to reign as deities over the Program world and use that to control the human one through control of information. Needless to say, the game's protagonist inverts this by wanting absolutely nothing to do with "User" status after seeing the kind of damage left behind.

Kill la Kill: RagyÅ� KiryÅ«in is introduced as the sadistic chairwoman of the KiryÅ«in Conglomerate and CEO of the REVOCS Corporation, abusive mother to Satsuki KiryÅ«in. It later transpires that she was once a human scientist whose family had worshipped the Life Fibers as a god. Seeking to transcend humanity, RagyÅ� began experimenting with imbuing humans with Life Fibers, succeeding with herself, her daughter RyÅ«ko Matoi, and Nui Harime. By the end of the series, RagyÅ� creates an extremely powerful Kamui — Shinra-KÅ�ketsu — and throws away whatever scraps remained of her humanity by assimilating the Primordial Life Fiber. After being defeated, stripped of her Kamui, and offered a chance at redemption by RyÅ«ko, RagyÅ� scornfully refuses and commits suicide to ensure the Life Fibers comprising her body can escape into the universe.

Journey to the West: Sun Wukong the Monkey King was a supernatural monkey born from a divine stone, and acquired immortality and godlike powers through mastering Taoism. After the Jade Emperor offers to deify him hoping he would settle down, Sun Wukong was outraged that his position in Heaven was effectively a stableboy, stole multiple forms of immortality, and went on a rampage defeating every warrior in Heaven and attempting to usurp the Jade Emperor's throne. The Buddha stepped in and sealed him under a mountain for five-hundred years, after which he was tricked into becoming a bodyguard for a Buddhist monk on a pilgrimage to retrieve the sutras. After doing so and learning the tenants of Buddhism, Sun Wukong ultimately attains enlightenment and becomes the "Victorious Fighting Buddha".

The Sandman (1989): Subverted in an issue focusing on Augustus Caesar. One day, while disguised as a beggar and accompanied by a dwarf actor assisting him, Caesar discusses his legacy of making Rome the most powerful empire on Earth, and says his destiny is to become a god after his death. When the dwarf remarks that it's good to be a god, Augustus simply asks him "Is it?" After his death, the dwarf recounts how Augustus forbade expanding Rome further, eventually dooming it, and his ulterior motive for doing it may have been to undo his godhood.

The Legend of Korra: Unalaq believes the only way to bring humans and spirits together is to rule them over as the Avatar. However, since that position is already taken by his niece Korra, and she's not willing to go along with his plans, Unalaq decides to unleash Vaatu from his prison and merge with him to become the Dark Avatar. To solidify his status as the new Avatar, he also seeks to destroy Raava, the Avatar Spirit, to deprive Korra of her powers and connections to her past lives.

Vaati from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures was originally a Picori, but was corrupted by his desire for the limitless power of the Light Force. Draining a fraction of it from Princess Zelda transformed him into a one-eyed demonic entity.

The Cosmere:
In the backstory, sixteen people came together to shatter Adonalsium, succeeding in splitting them into sixteen Shards, each representing an Intent (such as Preservation, Devotion, Ambition, Odium, etc.) which they then took up, becoming gods themselves. The conspirators had different motivations, some believing that it was the only option left, but some participated due a naked lust for power.
Mistborn:
Kelsier comes across a group called the Ire who are planning to use a device to creation a Connection allowing one of their number to Ascend as the Vessel of Preservation after he dies as a result of his gambit to destroy Ruin. He is able to steal the device and Ascend himself.
The Stormlight Archive:
It is implied Gavilar Kholin is one of these. As leader of the Sons of Honor, he was intending to restart the Desolations so he could perform a Kill and Replace on the Vessel of Odium (who was himself one of the sixteen who participated from lust for power).
Odium himself seeks to become the sole god of the Cosmere, and so since the Shattering has been on a cosmic killing spree of his fellow Shards. He had managed to kill (at least) three before Honor, taking a mortal wound in the process, was able to bind him to Roshar. Everything Odium is doing is to free himself so he can continue his goals.

Mega Man ZX Advent: The Big Bad Albert's main plan is to be "at the evolution's extreme"; he thinks that the "Mega Man" (people with the power of Biometal) is the next step of humanity's course of evolution, and with the power of the combined fragments of Biometal Model W, he aims to be the "Ultimate Mega Man" and use its power to Restart the World, creating a new one where only the "Mega Men" will live. After he has attained said power, when Grey/Ashe confronts him, he claims that he doesn't "think" he's a god - he is one.

Star Wars Legends:
New Jedi Order: Onimi believes that if he kills everyone in the galaxy he'll get the power he needs to become a god. Somewhat unusually, he also believes that Jacen and Jaina (and several other Jedi) are incarnate gods, and in his mind the whole series is a conflict between the established pantheon and himself trying to usurp them, played out through the Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong.
The same idea of "kill everybody to become a true god" is played out nearly to the letter by Sith Emperor Tenebrae Vitiate in the events of the Second Great Galactic War.
Fate of the Jedi: It's hinted that the main goal of Abeloth, the Eldritch Abomination Big Bad, is to become a god.

Doctor Doom: Victor von Doom has an ego worthy of a god, but is aware that — while he is one of the most brilliant and powerful people on the planet — he is still only human. However, he is more than happy to steal the power of cosmic entities for himself whenever the opportunity presents itself, which usually fails because he cannot control that kind of power with his merely human mind.

Finally, he would send that world to Cybertron via Spacebridge and assimilate everything in his path as it spreads from there and Earth. The result: Everything and everyone would become an extension of himself, turning him into nothing short of a god.

Unknown Armies: One possible character goal is to join the Invisible Clergy, the 333 individuals who represent key archetypes among humanity; once there are 333, the universe comes to an end and the Clergy shape the next one. This is far easier said than done. Option one is to become an Avatar, a follower of an existing Clergy member, and then get so powerful that you can symbolically overthrow them. Option two is to find an archetype no one represents yet and perform a massive ritual that lets you ascend as that archetype.

While Nobuyuki Sugou styled himself as a god in ALO and saw himself as such, being the one who created the game, he also seeks to become one IRL by perfecting his Mind Control research.
Gabriel Miller's end goal is to steal Alice's lightcube to place her in a virtual world of his own design. Afterwards, he plans on kidnapping real world people, killing their physical bodies, and placing their souls in his virtual world too, all so he can manipulate their souls as he sees fit. He even boasts himself as one during his fight with Kirito.

House of Anubis: In season 2, all of the characters are looking for an artifact called the Mask of Anubis. While Sibuna needs it to break a curse that had been placed on them and Victor just wants immortality, the villains Rufus and Senkhara are after it because it can take the wearer to the Egyptian afterlife, where they'd rule as if they were Gods. This doesn't work out for either of them; Senkhara is banished before she can possess Nina and use her body in the afterlife, and Rufus is Dragged Off to Hell for his impure heart.
