So things aren't going too well for this character. Maybe they want to turn over a new leaf. Maybe they want to start their life anew. Instead, maybe they don't want to half-ass it, they want to make all life anew. Or, they could just be a power-hungry Card-Carrying Villain out to satisfy their immense narcissism. Either way, this character gets the bright idea to remake the entire world In Their Own Image.
How this is done can vary. They can try to go back to the beginning of time, or a foundational event in the timeline, because their mere presence or actions will Make Wrong What Once Went Right. Lacking access to such a thing, designating a point in time at which the world will start to revolve around the subject will suffice. They can seek to gain a powerful artifact that can alter the world as they like and go from there. They can be a Godhood Seeker aiming to use their powers to make the world they want. Or they can go full-on Omnicidal Maniac and make a new world for themselves from scratch.
Usually the result, should they succeed, is some form of Villain World.
Compare "End of the World" Special when it is the protagonists who remake the world on their (generally better) terms.

In an episode of Aladdin: The Series, Abis Mal gets his hands on a time travel device and decides to go back to the day Agrabah was founded, so that he could found it instead of the ancestors of the current Sultan. Instead, he ends up squabbling with his ancestor and not really getting anything done, before Aladdin shows up to take the time travel device away and set everything right.

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, this seems to be the goal of Kriemhild Gretchen, the enormously powerful Witch that Madoka will become if she falls into despair. The implications are horrifying enough to overlap with Omnicidal Maniac, because her desire is ultimately to swallow up the Universe into the chaotic Labyrinth that exists within herself, which she believes to be a paradise because it is free of suffering. Thankfully, she is destroyed by the protagonist's wish, which triggers the destruction and reconstruction of the Universe, but in a way more akin to an "End of the World" Special.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): This is what Eggman plans to do once he conquers the world and creates his Eggman Empire. Utterly despising how "filthy" and "irregular" the world is, Eggman, as the greatest genius who has ever lived, feels that it's his duty — his destiny — to mold it into his image of perfection by eliminating what he deems as imperfections, including free will.

In Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension, a band of imaginary beings, the Mythos creatures, were facing Fantastic Racism. They attempted this in order to live in the "real" universe (where the rules didn't allow for their existence), and finally have a place to call home. Instead, a compromise was agreed upon, and they could freely inhabit half of Fourth Dimension, the plane of existence that they were just being persecuted in and fighting for complete control of before. The dimension is basically an infinite stretch of floors, corridors and offices, so this could have been proposed earlier if the leaders of each faction weren't so stubborn, though it's unclear if the Mythos creatures actually came from that dimension.

He wanted to take Eddie Kingston along, who he already felt was "in his own image" but Kingston, being the first Chikara grand champion, kind of liked the place the way it was and had starting learning to love ROH too.

The Belgariad has The Prophecy, or rather the two prophecies, which are to some degree compatible (due to vague, cryptic, figurative language) up to a particular event. When this event (the meeting of Belgarion and the Maimed God Torak) occurs, they disagree on the outcome, and diverge wildly from there. It's implied that outcome of this even will rewrite all of history so that the prophecy with the correct prediction of the battle is spot on. Among other things, if Torak wins, Belgarion's "aunt" Polgara will become Torak's bride, and despite how much she hates and despises him now will have always loved him unreservedly. The Prophecies are implied to be living, sentient entities, not just a collection of sayings, which makes this example fit the trope even better.

Justice League:
In "Twilight", this turns out to be the overarching scheme of Darkseid: attempting to discover the Anti-Life Equation, he intends to use it to first destroy reality itself, then commandeer the re-creation process and rebuild reality in his image, hoping to create a universe of perfect order and obedience.
In "The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped", Lord Chronos tries this using his time-travel suit to head towards the very beginning of time itself and work from there to reshape reality, a far cry from his original hobby of going back to steal objects no one would ever miss.
After being taken over by Brainiac in "Divided We Fall", Luthor asks what the plan is after analyzing and destroying all worlds. When it turns out he doesn't have one, Luthor suggests they rebuild them on their own terms, and Brainiac acquiesces. As a result, Superman's "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight appeal fails miserably.

Darkwing Duck: In the episode "Time and Punishment", Gosalyn hitches a ride with a Time Machine into a Bad Future where her disappearance caused Darkwing to become increasingly extreme in his fight against crime, not only destroying all the bad guys but turning all of Saint Canard into a totalitarian nightmare where All Crimes Are Equal. When he obtains the time machine, he contemplates going back to the start of history and issuing the death penalty from the get go, or even going to the Paleozoic period to drill respect for the law into the new land-based lifeforms.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time:
This is a key factor in Sloan's plan. By traveling back in time to the 1970s, he founds Alchemax years before it was supposed to be established, remaking the company in his image.
The Alchemax CEO, a.k.a. Peter Parker 2099, takes it even further, planning to harness the quantum energy of the incoming Time Crash to assume control of the timestream and remake the universe in his image. He's actually a Well-Intentioned Extremist, as a key part of this plan is undoing Peter Parker's mistakes, such as the deaths of Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy, but Spider-Man 2099 argues against him doing so, because he's trying to harness power no human should have.

Super Paper Mario: Count Bleck's goal is to use the Chaos Heart to erase all worlds and create new, perfect ones in their place, free of war and sadness. Or so he claims. That's actually a lie to motivate his minions, and he simply wishes to destroy everything for good, having come to see existence as pointless after losing his love Timpani. Dimentio, on the other hand, manipulated Bleck and the heroes alike so that he could claim the power of the Chaos Heart for his own and remake reality as he sees fit.

Marvel Universe:
Sise-Neg from a Doctor Strange story. Note that Sise-Neg is "genesis" spelled backwards.
In an issue of The Incredible Hulk, the Leader goes back to make everyone a gamma freak (they'll turn out Leaders, Hulks, or Abominations), and Hulk and the Avengers go back to stop him.
Ultimate Reed Richards, a.k.a. The Maker, set out to do this after the destruction and restoration of the Ultimate universe in Ultimate Invasion. The heroes assume he's trying to destroy and remake Earth-616, but in reality, he just wanted to be left alone with an entirely new world to call his own. He succeeds, and creates a copy of Earth-616 known as Earth-6160 after offering his fellow universal outcast Miles Morales a place in it, which he declines. He doesn't appear to have anything too nefarious planned for the new world, but he spitefully kills the spider that would have bit his universe's Peter Parker.

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness: This is what Kiria's Evil Plan in Act III ultimately boils down to: by using the Chrono Displacement spell and the Blackheart serum, he plans to change the outcome of the Battle of Kahdaln, which forced the monsters to set up the Masquerade in the first place, in favor of the monsters using Tsukune's inner ghoul, as well as use other Blackheart-infected monsters to wipe out all of the Dark Lords and any other powerful beings who could possibly pose a threat to him, effectively creating a world where monsters rule, humanity is extinct, and Kiria himself is the greatest, most powerful monster of them all. Unfortunately for Kiria, the plan fails, and he gets killed because, in the case of the ghoulified Tsukune, Evil Is Not a Toy.

Ganondorf (a.k.a. Ganon), the recurring Big Bad of the franchise, plans to reshape Hyrule into his ideal kingdom. Said kingdom is a land of darkness with evil running rampant across the land, as evidenced by the existence of the Dark Worldnote which is stated to be what Hyrule would look like if Ganon succeeded in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This is most prevalent in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, in which Ganondorf admits that he hates Hyrule's inhabitants for being peace-loving and weak under "insufferable" light, and plans to correct that by taking over the world, crush all opposition to his rule, and making life a constant struggle for survival. Of course, since nearly everyone opposes his rule, Ganondorf would need to go full Omnicidal Maniac to achieve his dreams.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Whereas Princess Hilda is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wants to use Hyrule's Triforce to save the dying world of Lorule, Yuga wants to use it to remake Lorule in his own image.

Action Man (2000): Dr. X plots to "test" humanity to create what he calls Neo-Humanity. His so-called tests are effectively to to kill off those who are not the most physically capable humans and leave only the strongest, most athletic people as survivors. His ultimate goal is to take these most physically capable and inject them with his DNA, turning them into clones of himself while using their bodies as extensions of his mind, making him the most literal example of this trope.

The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016): Zeus plans to destroy the earth as it stands and kill of all but a handful of humans who will be subjugated and forced to commit scheduled human sacrifices to him as he has decided that his fading power due lack of worshipers means that humanity can't be trusted to worship him without the removal of their free will or out of any sense of loyalty or gratitude.

Super Mario Bros.:
Paper Mario series:
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Grodus gives us the page quote. He seeks to use the treasure behind the Thousand Year Door and wield the Shadow Queen's power for his own ends. He fails to realize that Evil Is Not a Toy.
Super Paper Mario: Count Bleck's goal is to use the Chaos Heart to erase all worlds and create new, perfect ones in their place, free of war and sadness. Or so he claims. That's actually a lie to motivate his minions, and he simply wishes to destroy everything for good, having come to see existence as pointless after losing his love Timpani. Dimentio, on the other hand, manipulated Bleck and the heroes alike so that he could claim the power of the Chaos Heart for his own and remake reality as he sees fit.
This is Bowser's plan, believe it or not, in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. Bowser didn't want to destroy any galaxies however, he just wanted to create one of his own. But that wasn't enough, he then wanted to use it as the capital of his new space empire, which lead to a battle that destroyed it and the original universe until the Lumas reset it, causing him to try his plan again a different way because the Lumas never recreate the universe the same way twice.

Ultimate Reed Richards, a.k.a. The Maker, set out to do this after the destruction and restoration of the Ultimate universe in Ultimate Invasion. The heroes assume he's trying to destroy and remake Earth-616, but in reality, he just wanted to be left alone with an entirely new world to call his own. He succeeds, and creates a copy of Earth-616 known as Earth-6160 after offering his fellow universal outcast Miles Morales a place in it, which he declines. He doesn't appear to have anything too nefarious planned for the new world, but he spitefully kills the spider that would have bit his universe's Peter Parker.

In The Wheel of Time, the Dark One would do this if it ever got free. During their final battle, it torments Rand by showing him two possibilities it might realize — the first is a dystopian hellscape ruled by the Forsaken, and the second seems normal enough... until it's revealed that the entire human race have had their sense of right and wrong and empathy removed, turning them into heartless sociopaths just like the Dark One itself. In both cases, history was rewritten so that no one realized anything was wrong. The second vision was so bad that Rand produced a world where he did this, by making it so that the Dark One had never existed. Except it turns out that the Dark One is necessary for free will, so that everyone in Rand's "perfect" world was only eternally good and happy because he'd essentially brainwashed them to be like that. Cue My God, What Have I Done?.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time: This is ultimately the plan of Doctor Nefarious Tropy. After Neo Cortex is defeated by Crash and calls it quits, Nefarious reveals himself and ends his alliance with him. He explains that while Cortex is content with just ruling space and time, he would rather start from scratch. Using the rift generator, Tropy plans to "wipe the slate clean" by rebooting the entire timeline and rebuilding to his liking, with him as the only god, of course.

Dragon Ball Super: Regardless of all of their Motive Rants about justice, it's clear that this is the endgame of each version of Zamasu; by wiping out all mortals and gods, they'll create their own vision of paradise. It's especially blatant with Goku Black and Future Zamasu; they constantly go on about how they're doing the gods' justice and making a new world "by gods, for gods", and since they're the only ones left in Future Trunks' timeline, it basically translates to their new world being "by Zamasu, for Zamasu". In the manga, Fusion Zamasu takes it even further when he completely drops the "justice" angle and declares his intent to slaughter everyone across every timeline who isn't a version of himself, god and mortal alike. Infinite Zamasu takes this to extremes; by becoming one with the Future Trunks timeline, he succeeded in creating a multiverse where only Zamasu exists... because he is the multiverse.

The DCU:
The Anti-Monitor does this in Crisis on Infinite Earths after his original plans to destroy all universes are defeated by superheroes. He is stopped again, but random changes (most notably the elimination of all parallel Earths) happen as a result.
The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016): Zeus plans to destroy the earth as it stands and kill of all but a handful of humans who will be subjugated and forced to commit scheduled human sacrifices to him as he has decided that his fading power due lack of worshipers means that humanity can't be trusted to worship him without the removal of their free will or out of any sense of loyalty or gratitude.
New Gods: This is why Darkseid seeks the Anti-Life Equation. With it, he can wipe out free will all around and turn everyone into his faithful, worshipping slaves. From there, he can get to using them as slave labor to tear down all there is and rebuild it "in the image of his soul".
In Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, Hal Jordan as Parallax tries to go back to the big bang and reboot the universe the way he wants it. This results in another Cosmic Retcon and a partial Continuity Reboot to several DC series (Hawkman and Legion of Super-Heroes, most notably).

Avengers: Endgame: Thanos was already mad enough to think killing off half the universe so the other half would thrive without killing the whole from overpopulation was a swell idea, but at least he initially left it at that. However, when he realizes that people are trying to undo things and there is a remote chance they might succeed at it, he cracks just a little more. As a result, he decides he's going to just push the Reset Button on everything so no one has anything to mourn, and what life comes after can be steered away from what he thought would be disaster, showered in enough resources to thrive... and he'd make sure they'd be thankful for it this time.

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, this is what makes Dagoth Ur an existential threat. He is already slowly but surely warping Mundus into a reflection of his own broken mind due to deluding himself into thinking Mundus is his dream rather than the Dream of Anu. And the power he gained from the Heart of Lorkhan is making his delusion real. This is the true nature of the Corprus and the Ashblight — both are manifestations of Dagoth Ur's remaking the Anu's Dream into his own nightmare.

This is the point of the Reasons in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Each Reason holder seeks to re-create the world according to their guiding philosophy. The only one who attempts this and fails is Yuko Takao, who believes that her God will tell her the Reason, failing to realize that she is meant to come up with it herself. However, the MC can still unlock it as an available ending. It's worth mentioning that her motivation is relatively unselfish compared to the others: she's only trying to undo her mistake by restoring the world to the way it was.

Digimon Fusion:
Bagramon wants to remake both the human world and the Digital World in his image in an event that he calls D5. D5 is short for Dimension Deletion and Deadly Destruction Day.
Collecting all 108 Code Crowns allows anyone to do this to the Digital World. When Taiki gets all of them, the zones merge and everyone who died over the course of the series is purified and given a second chance at life. Bagramon modified the Code Crowns so that he could remake the human world as well.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: After having spent most of the series being a mostly offscreen Greater-Scope Villain, when Horde Prime becomes an active force, he turns out to be an incredibly extreme immortal narcissist endeavoring to remake the universe in his image. His main lieutenants are a multitude of brainwashed clones of himself connected through a Hive Mind and for whom Individuality Is Illegal, to the degree that any signs of deviation are punishable by Mind Rape. His method of dealing with the rebels against him is implanting mind-control chips that fasten to their central nervous system, with said chips not only giving him control over them, but also implanting a slavish devotion to him as well. He also spreads a Cult of Personality about himself that casts him and the order he has created in conquered territories (most of the known galaxy), as perfect, pristine, and invincible. The only reason he didn't instantly wipe Etheria out at the end of the penultimate season is because of the chance that the Lost Superweapon in the planet would give him the chance to take one final step and actually make the entire universe a reflection of himself.

Eggman and Dr. Wily actually succeed in this during near the end of Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide, but Sonic and Mega Man defeated them and undoes this trope. Unfortunately, Eggman stubbornly wrecks Sonic's chances of a complete fix in their universe, but the Cosmic Retcon doesn't do too much except for rewriting history at best and unleashing a Sealed Evil in a Can at worst.

"The World Famous" Kanako Urai has been accused of having such ambitions since 2010 when she wrote a "manifesto" in Yoshihiro Tajiri's SMASH on how to save Joshi, but in December 2014 she actually announced plans to "reform" the REINA promotion after fighting, and weaseling her way to the REINA World Women's and World Tag Team titles.

StarCraft II: The Dark Voice, who turns out to be named Amon, the Big Bad, is a fallen Xel'Naga that believes that the Endless Cycle is filled with torment and suffering and aims to bring an end to it. While this might make him sound like a Dark Messiah, and his worshippers believe in this, a protoss that entered his mind claims that his intentions are anything but noble. He only seeks to kill everything in the universe, even his own followers, and reshape it into his own image.

Herot's storyline in Fatebound is built on his desire to take control of reality and remake it into something he views as more amenable to mankind, and the gamble he makes with a god to bring that about.

Antz: The ruthless General Mandible wants to rebuild the colony to his own liking by killing those he deems weak and disloyal to his cause. He deliberately sends thousands of soldiers loyal to the queen to their deaths in a suicidal attack on the termites, so that he can then wipe out the rest of the colony unopposed, and start his own colony that consists of nothing but his loyal soldiers.

Subverted in the second Dragonlance trilogy, the Twins set, when Tasslehoff ends up in the future, and manages to get to a pivotal point in time to avert said future. He makes Raistlin, who is altering the timelines, discard his plan to become a god by convincing Raistlin that Raistlin, even as a god, will never be able to create life.

The Anti-Monitor does this in Crisis on Infinite Earths after his original plans to destroy all universes are defeated by superheroes. He is stopped again, but random changes (most notably the elimination of all parallel Earths) happen as a result.

At the end of Transformers: Cybertron, this becomes Galvatron's goal. He seeks to send the multiverse ending Black Hole into overdrive to destroy everything, using the Omega Lock and Cyber Planet Keys to survive the end of the universe, then rebuild it as he sees fit.

The Chronicles of Amber:
In the Corwin part of the series, the evil half-brother, Brand, seeks to re-create the universe to his own image by re-drawing the Pattern.
When the Pattern is damaged, there's some debate between various characters as to whether to attempt to repair it or destroy it and draw a new one, effectively rebooting the universe. Corwin actually does draw a new one when he believes the original is destroyed (it turns out it wasn't), which is revealed in the sequel series to have spawned an alternate universe.
