A Mage in Manhattan situation is where an evil character from a Magical Land enters our own with the intent of causing destruction. Hilarity ensues. Villains Blend in Better, but they do still want to Take Over the World, so such an appearance has a tendency to blast any masquerade to pieces. If they were unwillingly sent there in order to protect their home realm from them, then they are a Sealed Evil in Another World. When the "Mage" first arrives in "Manhattan", you can expect Mugging the Monster to ensue. If it works though, expect that Muggles Do It Better. Not involving J-Lo in any way, unless she's playing the person doing it. Compare Real-World Episode, Refugee from TV Land, and Aliens in Cardiff (if they land in a less spectacular city). Contrast Your Magic Is No Good Here. Usually involves Save Both Worlds. Not to be confused with Urban Fantasy. |

The Devil is a Part-Timer! has an Evil Overlord from a Magical Land fleeing to modern day Tokyo after being nearly defeated by the local hero. There he finds his magic powers don't work as they used to and ends up taking a job at a fast-food joint to make ends meet. He still intends to Take Over the World, though he's actually more worried about getting a promotion for the time being. | |

A large part of the series Everworld: Loki's dream is to use Senna's powers to transport himself and the other gods back to this world to escape from Ka Anor. Given gods like Huitzilopoctli, who eats thousands of human hearts in a sitting, horror may ensue. Of course, this is inverted with Senna's own plan — to conquer Everworld by bringing modern humans there with guns and other weapons. | |

Pathfinder: In the Reign of Winter Adventure Path campaign (specifically the June issue of the publication's February-July 2013 arc, Rasputin Must Die,) the player characters assume this role as a group of magically-equipped and powerful adventurers storming a prison in Siberia to rescue Baba Yaga from Grigori Rasputin. Unfortunately for players expecting an easy win, Russian soldiers who survived the horrors of the Great War don't flinch in the face of supernatural threats, instead using mines, grenades and urban warfare tactics against the PCs without fear. After all, once you've seen your comrades and families drown on dry land in a cloud of mustard gas, at least the elf casting Cloudkill is something you can shoot back at. | |

Inverted in Bill Willingham's Fables, in which fairy tale characters have fled from their magical homelands, which were conquered by the evil Adversary, to the mundane world, with most settling in New York. Eventually played straight when the Adversary sends the witch Baba Yaga leading an army of wooden soldiers to New York to conquer Fabletown. The Mundies never notice, because they think they are marching young Republicans. | |

Though it featured dimension-hopping villains quite prominently, it was never more so than in the season 2 finale of W.I.T.C.H., when a super-sized Cedric invades Heatherfield with the intent of conquering Earth. The Masquerade was preserved, mostly, through the use of some reality warping powers. | |

Bluebeard (Caster) from Fate/Zero, so much so that the supervisor temporarily put the war on hold and offered a reward of an extra command seal to whoever killed him. Then he summoned a giant monster made of slugs and the JSDF called in some F-15Js. One gets eaten by supersonic tentacles, the other gets hijacked by an epic hero summoned from beyond the grave, and proceeds to have an aerial dogfight against another epic hero flying a magitech airplane. Somehow The Masquerade survived. | |

The DCU: Villainess the Queen of Fables is the Wicked Stepmother from Snow White. The twist is that in the DCU, (a bloodier version of) the events of the fairytale actually happened, but then Snow White used a magic book to Ret-Gone the whole thing into fiction, so the Queen is also a sort of Sealed Evil in a Can. When the magic book is reopened, the Queen takes over Manhattan and becomes convinced that Wonder Woman is Snow White. There is Brother Grimm, King of Eastwind, who antagonizes The Flash and lusts after Flash's wife, Linda Park West. He has similar powers to the Queen of Fables, and can somehow detect and attack someone who is using Super-Speed, making him a tough foe for Flash to face. |

However, after her stepson - Prince Edward - and his manservant Nathaniel also go through to get Giselle back and her plans to secretly manipulate the lovelorn Nathaniel who adores her into killing Giselle doesn't work out, she enters the portal herself and starts throwing green lightening around Times Square. | |

A lift of this occurs in The Magician's Nephew, C. S. Lewis's prequel to The Chronicles of Narnia. Jadis, a former empress from a world that she herself destroyed, invades London in roughly the same era as The Story of the Amulet. Or at least she tries. Magic is inherent to a dimension here, and so she has no power in our world, though she does have Super-Strength. She threatens to invade our world in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe—by which point she's known as the White Witch—but that's a clear bluff. | |

Doctor Strange is an inversion: a good man who uses his arcane magic skills to help mankind ward off the evils of the mystic beyond in a modern world long separated from the age of such things. | |

At the climax of Viewtiful Joe 2, the villain Jet Black escapes from Movie Land with the power of the Rainbow Oscars, resulting in a final showdown at an awards ceremony. Subverted in that Jet Black was from the real world in the first place. | |

In the famous Czech fairy tale TV series Arabela (1979-81) (Western Germany title: "Arabella, die Märchenbraut", Eastern Germany title: "Die schöne Arabella und der Zauberer"), not only do characters and villains from the Fairy Tale reality enter the Real World and spread chaos there with their magic and strange ways, the sorcerous villains even take modern inventions (and ideas), like cars, back into their own reality which runs on fairy tale tropes, install themselves as new rulers, and start a reign of tyranny by banning, on pain of death, all things magical, including racism against non-human "magical" races. With hilarious results. | |

Re:CREATORS: The Big Bad and her faction come from various forms of media and while her faction intends mostly to attack their creators for the pain they caused them, her endgame is the destruction of the universe, which is done through her faction causing disturbances. | |

At first, the alien needle monsters in Eden Green only appear in abandoned areas of a single Arkansas city, but right as the main characters are trying to figure out how to deal with them, a swarm takes over the heavily-populated center of the city and blows the problem into an internationally-known incident. | |
