Of course! No reputable villain or Imperialistic Global Superpower would set their sights on anything less than World Domination®! As Evil Plans go, world domination is ambitious, more logical and sometimes easier than wanton destruction of everything. They want to be in charge of everything and everyone. Usually the motive is just to feed their lust for power, their massive egos, and their Greed, but sometimes they've got somewhat twisted ideals that they want everyone else to adhere to and world domination is the Path to a Better Future. Or it's just because they are dicks. Either way, this ambition will put them in direct conflict with the heroes, whether professional or "I just want everything to go back to normal" types. Usually said villains fixate on the hero or someone/thing close to them as being part of their master Evil Plan. For a villain who has finally acquired godlike power, and did not use it to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence or euthanize the universe, then this is the next logical goal and use for said power. Villains who want this will occasionally combat other villains who want to destroy the world or use it for other purposes, and sometimes, just sometimes, team up with the heroes to do it. After all, you can't conquer the world if it's destroyed, right? Whether or not the villain attempts to stab the heroes in the back the instant the world is safe, or they nod and civilly go back to their Secret Lairs in a gentleman's agreement to face each other tomorrow depends on the villain. The result of world domination is sometimes subverted, parodied or deconstructed when the villain actually succeeds, and it turns out that ruling the world isn't nearly as gratifying as they thought it would be — exactly what does one do with the world once one has it, after all? As any immortal would tell you, ideas to try for the world (whether utopian or dystopian) can be limited. Plus, once you're ruling the world, you literally have to be in charge of everyone, and that's like herding giraffes. Seven billion giraffes, as a matter of fact. You actually have to run things, and make sure it works, and dang, Dystopia Is Hard. You will end up snapping or getting crushed under the workload of trying to dictate everything. If they did it with Mass Hypnosis to get rid of The Evils of Free Will, then it'll be considerably easier to rule... and so dreadfully boring they undo the whole thing just to have someone to talk to. No wonder that "illogical" world destruction has an appeal that competes with world domination. The more fleshed-out villain will have some specific perception of what is wrong with the world and believe that a strong central authority with vision and strength of purpose can set it right. For more information, check out the Evil Overlord List, a detailed guide on what an evil overlord should and should not do. Typically, this is accomplished with Stock Evil Overlord Tactics. Although sometimes the plans of villains with this motivation go rather in the Missing Steps Plan direction. There have been several country-specific SubTropes which have been popularized in Western thought and media, each country taking its turn to be the boogeyman for a few decades. These would include: Alternate-History Nazi Victory, which was a fear during World War II. The trope became even more prolific after the regime's atrocities came to light, making it a good premise for a Crapsack World. A lot of the fear from this trope also drew on the fears of a pre World War I Imperial Germany taking over the world. In any case, once the World Wars concluded, a new superpower would set up itself as a contestant for world hegemon, which would be... Russia Takes Over the World, which was popular during the Red Scare in the 1950s and 1960s (and saw a resurgence in the 1980s as the Cold War heated up again). The advent of detente however led to... Japan Takes Over the World, which was influenced by Japan's powerful economy that emerged in the 1970s and the spread of its pop culture in the 1980s, and was especially popular in early Cyberpunk stories. However, this time it was about economics and not military and political espionage. The lost decade of Japan in the 1990s which led to an economic and production standstill has led to another East Asian superpower filling this role, which would be... China Takes Over the World, a concept that has gained influence in the 1990s with the rise of the Chinese economy and manufacturing. The economic liberalization and large population which has also made the Chinese an influential target for corporations and movie studios back this claim alongside China's powerful army. With a recession in the 2010s and other social and economic setbacks however, this trope starts to look discredited. America Takes Over the World, which has generally always been a concept people in the post-World War II era have entertained, especially in the post Cold War world with USA being the sole superpower. Eurabia: Fundamentalist Muslims take over Europe if not the whole world and turn it into a repressive theocracy. The United States held this fear post-9/11 while the refugee crisis from the Middle East in the 2010s led to renewed fears in Europe. See Take Over the City for a more modest version. A Villain World is a situation where this actually happened (for absence of a hero or some other incident that granted the bad guys absolute power) but a hero emerges and begins to undo the damage from the inside. For the opposite, see Save the World. |

Tony of Real Life Comics, being the Mad Scientist that he is, does set out to accomplish this goal for one story-line because, according to him, that's what evil people are supposed to do. He manages to succeed in the end, even defeating a challenger to his reign, but relents when he starts to discover just how much work is involved. | |

Arena Big Bad Jagar Tharn has, in a way, already succeeded with this at the start of the game. He has assumed the form of Emperor Uriel Septim VII and has been ruling in his stead for 10 years, driving the Empire into a steady decline. Later games reveal that Tharn was in league with Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, all the long. | |

In the old Might and Magic 'verse, this was surprisingly uncommon, with most would-be evil overlords aiming for continental domination instead. Kastore's faction of Terrans is an exception (they might have been able to pull it off, too, if they hadn't been hampered by lacking a key component to repairing the Heavenly Forge and the fact that the world blow up only a few years after they began phase one). | |

Sluggy Freelance: Happens a number of times. Bun-Bun and K'Z'K have both tried to take over the main Sluggy universe (Bun-Bun actually succeeded, for all of ten minutes). The Dimension of Pain demons apparently took over their home dimension in order to make it "of Pain," and tried to do the same thing to the Dimension of Lame. This is also the long term goal of the Hereti Corporation and the K'Z'K cults that have sprung up following the Demon's death. | |

Channel Awesome: This trope is a running joke for The Nostalgia Critic in his reviews. When the antagonist of any film is revealed to have this goal in mind the review will be interrupted by M. Bison as he was played by Raul Julia in the movie adaptation of Street Fighter. The joke goes like this: Other members of the team at the time such as Paw Dugan and Linkara have adopted this gag for their own videos as well, effectively making it a Running Gag for the entire website. The Dom has a variation, effectively his own running gag: Every time he tries to set up the joke, either the clip misses the cue, or the wrong clip plays. Sometimes it's the right line, but the wrong movie, sometimes vise versa. In the website's second-year anniversary epic Kickassia, this is the Nostalgia Critic's plan, starting with the invasion of Molassia. When he gets Molassia, he soons forgets this, becoming Orcus on His Throne. Receives an epic lampshading when the Critic actually dresses up as M. Bison when launching his attack and subsequently taking over the place. Rollo T even tries to get him to recreate the clip in an interview, asking him if his plan is this as he's leaving (to get him to turn around and say it, as per the clip.) This backfires; N. Bison only gives the line after being asked if he gets a lot of pussy with that outfit. Somewhat misplaced deliberately in the The Thief and the Cobbler review. Zigzag is trying to take over the Golden City, not the world. But Doug couldn't fit an Of Course in there if he had actually mentioned that. |

Bleak Expectations: At the end of the fourth series, the Big Bad Mr. Benevolent offers Pip Bin the chance to rule the world together. Pip thinks it sounds fun and takes him up on it. So, using a Fantastic Nuke made of cheese (as you do), they hold the world hostage and rule it for years. Pip Bin still thinks it's fun, until mankind collectively decides they'd rather die free... and the bomb turns out to be a dud. Pip gets an epic chewing out from the Creator, and is sent back in time to not conquer mankind. | |

Angel: This was Illyria's plan when she first reemerged. She went to revive her demonic army to conquer the earth, and found she'd been dead so long they had all crumbled to dust. She was so depressed she just gave up on it after that. And one season before that, rogue Power that... Am, Jasmine, nearly succeeded as she was able to brainwash everyone who saw or heard her, even via electronic media, into loving her. She was ultimately only defeated by epic Glamour Failure and Connor turning into a full-blown Nietzsche Wannabe who punched through the back of her head. |

Kevin & Kell used the subversion - in a plotline where it appeared that Herdthinners CEO R.L. had been eaten by bears, his even more ruthless wife, Angelique, took over the company and slowly replaced the normal employees with ones that suffered from domestication. Since domestication causes absolute loyalty, she planned on creating an army of them to eventually Take Over The World. After her husband returned alive and well, he reminded her of the headaches of trying to run the whole world and they agreed to just make gobs of money instead. But the last strip in the storyline did show her encouraging her children to play Risk and learn from it. | |

The main goal of the Cat Army in The Battle Cats is to take over the world so that they can go back to the past and free all of the cats stuck in the lands of legend. This is also exaggerated in that, aside from the world, they also conquer the future (which is overrun by aliens) and the entire universe (up to and ,somehow, including the Big Bang itself) | |

Moreover, when he stages his coup he outright declares that he simply wants power for its own sake. A dream he has in the final episode reveals that despite many years having passed he still harbours this desire. | |

Pain of Naruto originally claims this to be the goal of Akatsuki. As a small mercenary force of exceptional skill they would build a strong reputation and slow supplant the established villages; then they would use the captured Bijuu to start small wars, promptly ending them, to gain complete dominance of the market. At that point, they would crush the weakened nations reliant on their services and become the sole world power. Turns out Pain was right all along; except the real Akatsuki leader, Tobi plans to use a Mass Hypnosis plan instead of the fake, economic scheme. As of Chapter 692, Sasuke reveals that his ultimate goal is world domination, starting with killing Naruto, the only person he believes can stop him. |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978), Fit the Eleventh, the Dolmansaxlil Galactic Shoe Corporation takes over planet after planet by forcing them to build more and more shoe shops. This process is confirmed to be already taking place on Earth on Oxford Street, and its ultimate outcome is the Shoe Event Horizon, when the world economy overbalances and collapses and the survivors evolve into birds so they never have to put feet on the ground again. | |

In the website's second-year anniversary epic Kickassia, this is the Nostalgia Critic's plan, starting with the invasion of Molassia. When he gets Molassia, he soons forgets this, becoming Orcus on His Throne. Receives an epic lampshading when the Critic actually dresses up as M. Bison when launching his attack and subsequently taking over the place. Rollo T even tries to get him to recreate the clip in an interview, asking him if his plan is this as he's leaving (to get him to turn around and say it, as per the clip.) This backfires; N. Bison only gives the line after being asked if he gets a lot of pussy with that outfit. Somewhat misplaced deliberately in the The Thief and the Cobbler review. Zigzag is trying to take over the Golden City, not the world. But Doug couldn't fit an Of Course in there if he had actually mentioned that. | |

Darkwing Duck lampshades this in the episode that introduced the villain Moliarty. In another episode, Honker gets controlled by an alien-hat Puppeteer Parasite, who then announces his plan to take over the world via a TV broadcast. After the alien is defeated and Honker gets home, his dad, having only seen the broadcast, sympathetically says "Sorry the whole 'take over the world' thing didn't work out, Honk!" |

Most of it isn't too much of a surprise, like Ahiru's love for ballet and dislike of food with chicken in it... but then you get to Autor's profile. What he likes? "World Domination". Apparently that's the reason he's so obsessed with Drosselmeyer's story-spinning powers! | |

Dilbert: Dogbert has taken over the world a few times. In one arc he does so through hypnosis, but abdicates after he gets bored. He's also taken over the company frequently, usually becoming obscenely wealthy and retiring within a matter of days. | |

The Austin Powers trilogy obviously pokes fun at this with Dr. Evil's own schemes involving holding the world hostage. Interestingly, his right hand man, Number Two, is much more successful in raking in cash with various legitimate projects, and is quite frustrated when Dr. Evil still goes for the schemes that Austin Powers is more likely to stop. | |

The Brain of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. Every episode began with some inane plot to take over the world, only to fail. Brain then prepares for next time. It's refutable whether Brain is truly a villain, since he honestly believes the world would be better off with him in charge—he said as much in Megalomaniacs Anonymous. Also notable is the lack of any regularly-appearing nemesis to thwart his schemes (unless you count Pinky); they generally crash and burn on their own. On the other hand there's Snowball, Brain's archrival from the later series, who has all of the ambition and none of the morals or good intent. |

Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers makes Rita's motivations clear the moment her can space dumpster is unsealed. "After 10,000 years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!" Same goes for the motivation of every other Power Rangers villain ever.note Its even the goal of villains that already rule entire galaxies, sometimes several galaxies. Earth is just that special, possibly because nobody has taken it over yet. To be fair, some villains have slight differences in objective. For example, in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, Big Bad Mesagog wants to return the world to being reptiles. This even gets Lampshade Hanging by Tommy: "Why can't you just want to conquer the world like all the other sickos?" Come Power Rangers RPM, sentient computer virus Venjix all but succeeds in this, primarily by wiping out 99% of humanity! |

The great and mighty Tenjuro Banno's ultimate plan is just generic 'take over the world' nonsense? I expected something more grandiose and scientific out of you!" This enrages Banno enough that he tries to kill Mach then and there, but the remaining Roidmude Executives pull a Big Damn Heroes and join forces with the Riders. | |

During the rise of Hitler, he realized if he took over the world he COULD do just that. Over ten years after the World War II he finally found the means as he researched several ancient ruins. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Silmarillion: Morgoth tried to conquer Earth to pretend he was its maker. When the Valar stopped him, Morgoth changed his goal to conquer the Earth to declare it his, and then blow it up. The Lord of the Rings: Morgoth's former underlying Sauron already controlled the greater part of the world when the main story opens. The key difference is that for Morgoth, world domination was merely one step in his ultimate plan to corrupt and then destroy all reality, whereas for Sauron it was an end in and of itself. Unlike Morgoth, he didn't object to the existence of the world as long as it was his to do whatever he pleases. The Fall of Númenor: Ar-Pharazôn, the last king of Númenor, desired no less than the kingship of the entire world. Númenor became a vast and brutal maritime empire under his rule, and Pharazôn became considered the world's most terrible tyrant after Morgoth. |

The Order of the Stick. Xykon, though it is mostly out of boredom. And as he reveals later, more of a means to an end — the end being "no one may tell me what to do, not even the gods of this world". If he's on the very top of the hierarchy, he gets true freedom. Tarquin, more in spirit than the word. He is perfectly content to kick back and relax as his master plan slowly absorbs the rest of the continent into a completely secret dictatorship. Or in other words, he literally owns everything he sees, so in his own words, he has "lived like a god for over three decades." |

There hasn't been an emperor for a long time, and it seems he is mainly doing it out of vanity, even though his method of achieving his goal is well thought out. While it is not clear whether he intends to rule the whole world, he does intend to rule all countries that have been mentioned - which may be the whole known world. | |

Skyrim: During the main quest, it is revealed that the legendary dragon Alduin, who is supposed to "eat" the world at the end of every kalpa, enjoys being worshiped by the mortal races far more than he does fulfilling his duty. He started to take over the world thousands of years ago but was cast into the stream of time by ancient Nords using the power of an Elder Scroll. He returns during the time of the game, and it is up to the Dragonborn to stop him this time. The plot of the Dawnguard DLC involves the vampire Lord Harkon attempting to fulfill an ancient prophecy of bringing eternal night to Nirn, making it ripe for domination by his vampire forces. |

Since Warlight is an Indie Risk adaptation to browser and phone, its makes sense that the objective of any and all players is to literally take over the world (or not). | |

Nineteen Eighty-Four is the definitive literary example of this trope actually succeeding, and the consequences thereof. While the world may not technically be under the control of a single power, each of the three totalitarian superstates that do rule the world are effectively in tacit alliance with one another against their own peoples, and engage in an endless proxy war the aim of which is not to win but to divert resources, manpower and focus away from their home populations. Although we are given details of only one of the three, it is suggested that all follow roughly identical ideologies. In a rather brutal lampshading, the regime insider O'Brian acknowledges that Dystopia Is Hard, even for them, but they do not care, because the ultimate aim of the regime is pure power, rather than material or personal satisfaction. | |

Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book: In the Latter Days DLC, when Meklet and Atomina tell Sophie that they're going to go on a trip and she asks about where they're going, they suggest that they might take over the world. They quickly admit that they're joking, though, as they know that Sophie would just defeat them again if they tried. The story itself specifically averts this, with the game's Tagline noting "It's not always about saving the world." |

Commander Forrester in Scanners II: The New Order advocates the creation of a "New Order" to "cure" the cities of crime, which really means that he'll be in control of everything. He tries to build an army of scanners to keep the rest of society in line, and uses their abilities to get himself into successively higher public offices, going from police commander to police chief and planning to run for mayor next. | |

Thousand Shinji: Shinji often mentions in passing that he plots to conquer the world after the Angel War. His motivation for it varies depending on the time: he is ambitious just like that, he doesn't want anything hurt him and Asuka again, or in revenge for Asuka, Rei and Misato's getting hurt. Whatever the case may be, for the end of the story he's become the God-King of humanity and Asuka, Rei and Misato are his three Queens ruling alongside him. | |

On the very last episode of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), Mojo Jojo manages to take over the world by stealing The Key To The World. At first he surprises everyone by creating the perfect utopia, but then gets bored with it and resumes trying to destroy everything. Most of the episode consisted of every single villain than has ever appeared on The Powerpuff Girls (yes, even the Villains of the Week) fighting to the get the Key to the World. The girls try to stop them, but once they get the key they become mad with power and start planning what they would do if each of them ruled the world and start fighting for the key themselves. | |

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are several examples: In Captain America: The First Avenger, Hydra tries to kill millions of people in their attempt to rule the world, and in Captain America: The Winter Soldier they come even closer to winning than they did during their first attempt, proving themselves to be more ruthlessly pragmatic than ever in their pursuit of power. In The Avengers, Loki wants to rule Earth so that he can have the throne he was promised, and because he seems to believe that if he rules Earth, his less advanced subjects will be too busy worshiping him to war with each other. Tony verbally deconstructs this for Loki, telling him that you can't just "take over the world" because no one is just going to roll over and let that happen, no matter how many aliens you throw at them. In Black Panther, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens - aka Prince N'Jadaka - wants to take the throne of Wakanda so he can then use its spy network and bleeding-edge technology to conquer the world. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Green Goblin wants power for power's sake, treating the reality he's found himself in as an entirely new playground with toys he can break over and over again. Namely Peter. |

Bob and George featured Dr. Wily's attempts very early. It was deconstructed the trope in a short-lived sub-comic Raw Lemons and Baked Pizza. After having it up to here with Dr. Wily, Mega Man finally spells out just what taking over the world will require. Namely, having to sort out the already noticeable mess of differences between various nations, having to deal with the various uprisings, learning every language known to man just to communicate with them, getting people to accept his rule in the first place and the insane amounts of stress that would be implied. It ends on a nice humorous note as Dr. Wily, having clearly gone too insane to recover, laments that he already had a custom gold world-domination crown made. |

Deconstructed in Castlevania (2017). In Season 3, the vampire Carmilla, supported by three other vampiresses, wants to conquer large swaths of land to expand the vampires' territory. One season later, two of the vampiresses, Striga and Morana, found this to be a logistical nightmare: It takes them ages just to secure a small portion of the proposed conquest territory, and the humans' constant resistance means that the vampires will remain busy just trying to fight them off. Realizing that Carmilla has only the ambition to rule without actually having any idea how to, the two vampiresses choose to leave Carmilla and her lost cause. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Fire Nation. It takes them a century to do it, but they eventually manage to either conquer, exterminate, or marginalize all their enemies. The only problem? They can't hold onto their global empire. There's too many rebellions across too much occupied territory for their army to effectively counter. Their solution to this problem is to genocide the vast and populated Earth Kingdom. | |

In Storm Hawks, to spread her empire over the whole Atmos is Master Cyclonis' number one goal (and seeing as she is the latest in a royal family, the ambition seems to run In the Blood). She's demonstrated some pretty impressive schemes to do so, but has always failed on behalf of those meddling Storm Hawks and her bumbling minions. Until the finale, where she uses the newly acquired crystal Lost Technology from the Far Side of Atmos to upgrade her soldiers, launch her biggest campaign, and ultimately defeat the Sky Knights and conquer Atmos. It's only barely that her empire toppled by the Storm Hawks and their remaining allies sneaking into her fortress and letting themselves by captured, freeing the Sky Knights, and engaging in one giant Final Battle. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule is the center of the Zelda universe, so the whole world is screwed if Ganon takes over Hyrule. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ganon's wish to the Triforce was to rule the world. The Triforce grants him that wish by transforming the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. Ganon is not satisfied by the results, and seeks to conquer the Light World (Hyrule) as well. Demon King Malladus from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has the same plan, apparently, until his revival is about to be undone and he decides that causing Earth-Shattering Kaboom works just as well. At least Ganon(dorf) was modest enough to limit himself to just Hyrule... |

All the evil gods in the Forgotten Realms have this goal. Bane has this as his main goal and almost all of his followers' failed plots revolve around this to some degree. Indeed, he is the god of tyranny. In Crucible: Trial of Cyric the Mad, the main character's goal towards the beginning was to get a book that would make everyone worship his god, Cyric, thereby allowing him to take over not only the world, but the entire pantheon. Shar is an exception: the Lady of Loss wants to destroy the world, not rule it. |

The Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)/The Twilight Zone (1959) crossover Be Careful What You Wish For deconstructs this trope. In it, Wily uses Lotos the Genie to take over the world instantly. He then finds that running the world means micromanaging each and every problem from all the world's governments for hours on end and his 0% Approval Rating means all the leaders under him and Mega Man are chomping at the bit for him to make even the smallest violation of the world's surrender treaty so they can drop the loyalty act and go for his head. | |

Phineas and Ferb: Parodied: Dr. Doofenshmirtz restricts all his evil schemes to "the ENTIRE Tri-State Area" for no obvious reason. An early episode even has him in front of a global map, seemingly about to announce that he'll take over the world, only to pull out a magnifying glass and finish with "Tri-State Area!" It's later explained that he believes taking over the world is too ambitious and he wants to start small, and when other villains plan to take over the world, he thinks they're crazy. Lampshaded in "The Beak", when Dr. Doofenshmirtz makes a public announcement that he already has taken over the Tri-State area. The idea was that if he claimed this with enough conviction, people would believe him, and treat him like their new Evil Overlord. Only Major Monogram and Carl were fooled. In Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, Dr. Doofenschmirtz meets an Alternate Self who actually suceeded in taking over the Tri-State Area, transforming it into a Dystopia, planning to do the same thing with Phineas and Ferb's home dimension too. |

The Lord of the Rings: Morgoth's former underlying Sauron already controlled the greater part of the world when the main story opens. The key difference is that for Morgoth, world domination was merely one step in his ultimate plan to corrupt and then destroy all reality, whereas for Sauron it was an end in and of itself. Unlike Morgoth, he didn't object to the existence of the world as long as it was his to do whatever he pleases. | |

Kamen Rider: Tons of Showa era villains had this as this as their plan. Not so much in the Heisei era, where the villains' plans are usually more complex. The only villains whose end goal plan is conquering the world is Smart Brain from Kamen Rider 555, whose plan entails a Zombie Apocalypse of sorts. Kamen Rider Drive lampshades this: When the Big Bad reveals his ultimate plannote convert all of humanity into computer data, and only those who worship him as a god will be granted physical form, Kamen Rider Mach (who is said villain's son) laughs and snarks "That's it? The great and mighty Tenjuro Banno's ultimate plan is just generic 'take over the world' nonsense? I expected something more grandiose and scientific out of you!" This enrages Banno enough that he tries to kill Mach then and there, but the remaining Roidmude Executives pull a Big Damn Heroes and join forces with the Riders. |

Girl Genius: Subverted with the mad scientist Baron Wulfenbach, who by the start of the story has already taken over the world with his no-nonsense straightforward plan. It is then doubly subverted by the Baron hating being the ruler of Europe, but doing it anyways because he believes the world needs him (and it probably does). Indeed, the Baron took over the world largely to stop everyone else from trying to do so and wrecking everything in the process. Because the comic takes place in a world full of mad scientists, there's always at least a dozen factions trying to rule the world. Without the Baron stamping them down, the entire continent would probably be aflame with the burnt wreckage of a million war clanks. There are still major holdouts, but they prefer cooperation with the empire; England and her other sunken colonies are ruled by a Goddess-Queen, and Paris is ruled by an immortal spark who has tied the city's AI to himself. Yet it's played completely straight with many of the aforementioned people whom the Baron holds down. Chief among them the Other, who just so happens to really be Lucrezia Mongfish, the Evil Matriarch of our heroine Agatha and the Psycho Ex-Girlfriend of Klaus. The Other's plan involves using Puppeteer Parasites to make everyone in the world obey them. But as the story goes on, it's revealed that their plot has much more moving parts than anyone in the world had previously expected. |

Reboot: In "The Medusa Bug", the chaotic villainess Hexadecimal fabricates a viral bug that gradually converts all of Mainframe and its occupants to stone. The only character that manages to avoid this fate is Bob, the Guardian, who eventually convinces Hexadecimal that while she may have perfect control over their world, life would be awfully dull with everyone frozen. And, really, the last thing Hex would want is predictability, so she terminates the bug and the system returns to normal. The primary villain of the series, Megabyte, tries repeatedly to take over Mainframe, but never succeeds (though he does come close.) Actually Megabyte does succeed. It's just that by the time he does take over the city is in ruins and there is nothing left for him to rule. |

Soul Eater: Troubled Souls: The end goal of Medusa Gorgon. Her research is catered toward the evolution of the Black Blood to help her develop ways to manipulate Madness itself, with the Black Clown and the Portable Purple Clown being by-products. Kishins are the only entities capable of manipulating Madness and creating one takes too much time and effort, so she sets her sights on Kishin Asura. With the Black Blood, she wants to fuse and resonate with the Kishin via Madness. Why? As she says: "Those who control Madness control the world." | |

This is the explicit goal of most of the villainous factions (Nod, the Soviets, the Imperial Japanese, CABAL, etc.) in the various Command & Conquer series. The good factions on the other hand (GDI, the Allies) more often than not strive for a return to status quo, seeing the defeat of their enemy as a way of preventing this trope, not to practice it themselves. Because their endings are usually canon this leaves the door open for another rematch in a sequel. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Nearly every Big Bad in the series is planning this in some fashion, though all have some Omnicidal and/or Eldritch slants to their plans once the world is taken over. Arena Big Bad Jagar Tharn has, in a way, already succeeded with this at the start of the game. He has assumed the form of Emperor Uriel Septim VII and has been ruling in his stead for 10 years, driving the Empire into a steady decline. Later games reveal that Tharn was in league with Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, all the long. Morrowind: Dagoth Ur is planning it in his own twisted way. Though he has a Well-Intentioned Extremist slant to his plans, most denizens of Tamriel can agree that being taken over by an insane Plaguemaster Physical God controlling a Humongous Mecha powered by the heart of a dead god would not be a good thing. (And if some of the deeper, more esoteric lore is to be believed, he eventually plans to do this to all of reality by imprinting his mind on the "dream of Anu".) Almalexia is planning this as well in the Tribunal expansion, though is starting with a more modest "take over Morrowind" plan. She plans to establish a monotheistic theocracy with her as the supreme god, killing her fellow Tribunes (Sotha Sil and Vivec) in the process, as well as martyring the Nerevarine. Mehrunes Dagon pops up once again in Oblivion as the Man Behind the Man to Big Bad Mankar Camoran. Camoran, operating under the belief that Nirn is really just the Daedric plane of the dead creator god Lorkhan, plans to take it over after allowing Dagon in to destroy it in its current form. Skyrim: During the main quest, it is revealed that the legendary dragon Alduin, who is supposed to "eat" the world at the end of every kalpa, enjoys being worshiped by the mortal races far more than he does fulfilling his duty. He started to take over the world thousands of years ago but was cast into the stream of time by ancient Nords using the power of an Elder Scroll. He returns during the time of the game, and it is up to the Dragonborn to stop him this time. The plot of the Dawnguard DLC involves the vampire Lord Harkon attempting to fulfill an ancient prophecy of bringing eternal night to Nirn, making it ripe for domination by his vampire forces. The main plot of The Elder Scrolls Online revolves around Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Corruption and God of Evil extraordinaire, attempting a "Planemeld", merging his Daedric plane with Mundus, the mortal realm. |

When 4Kids was dubbing the Pokémon movies, they had a habit of changing the villains' motives to this, because kids wouldn't understand their original motives. This became Team Rocket's goal in the Pokémon Black and White related seasons. Since they've become competent and now have frikken jet-packs, they might actually have a shot. That didn't last long though. |

Futurama: It is implied that the United States has taken over the world sometime in the past and simply adopted the name "Earth". The "Earthican" Flag looks like the American flag just with the stars replaced with Earth. When Nixon is running for president of "Earth" in the year 3000, at first they say he can't run because "nobody can be president twice", implying that the government of Earth is a continuation of the American government. Corrupt Corporate Executive Mom wants to take over the world, and uses mind control chips planted in every robot (which encompasses virtually all known technology in the future) to get it in "Mother's Day". This leads to the memorable line, "Go conquer Earth, you bastards!" This is inspired by the fact that Farnsworth dumped her, leading to the next one: "Hell hath no fury like the vast robot armies of a Woman Scorned!" Bender does it in a Bad Future shown in "Decision 3012". |

Code Geass: Lelouch vi Britannia eventually decides to conquer the whole world, rather than just destroy the Britannian Empire, as was his original plan. In subversion he doesn't actually want to keep it for himself. Magnificently, having taken over half the world and been betrayed, he the proceeds to take over the other half, then uses that to finish the job. It's heavily implied that this is the intention of the Royal Family of Britannia. Several of them are well-intentioned extremists who believe world peace can only be achieved through world domination, involving nukes, threats, and the like. |

On The Fairly OddParents!, most villains want to do it. According to Norm the Genie, most (or all) of humanity wants to. In fact, Crocker and Vicky succeeded in 2 of the movies, albeit Vicky only in a Bad Future. On the episode where Timmy wishes for mind-reading powers, he finds out (yet makes no conscious effort or reaction) that Elmer's boil has a mind of its own... and is evil. Instances including the boil trying to convince Elmer to attack Timmy, whipping him to make sure no one suspects of him, and that his favorite flavored pie is "Take-over-the-world-berry!" |

Many of Baron Silas Greenback's plots on Danger Mouse involved taking over the world. Two other antagonists on the show had dreams of a personal global stake. Quark (a Scottish-speaking alien) claims to own a cosmic charter bequeathing Earth to him by a distant relative, while Mac the Fork (a Scottish-speaking snake) had stolen the blueprint for an Earth-shattering device. |

Game of Thrones: The Dothraki have a prophecy of the Khal of Khals, the "stallion who mounts the world". Daenerys believes this to be her unborn son by her husband Khal Drogo, Rhaego, but her son is sacrificed by a witch to save Drogo's life, only to trap him in a state between life and death, forcing Daenerys to Mercy Kill him. In hindsight, the below example suggests that the prophecy was actually about Daenerys herself, but Jon killed her before it could come to fruition. In the final season, Daenerys has her army wipe out the Lannister regime and burns down King's Landing, effectively accomplishing her dream to take over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. In her victory speech, she declares that she's going to turn her attention east and unite the known world under her banner. |

Morrowind: Dagoth Ur is planning it in his own twisted way. Though he has a Well-Intentioned Extremist slant to his plans, most denizens of Tamriel can agree that being taken over by an insane Plaguemaster Physical God controlling a Humongous Mecha powered by the heart of a dead god would not be a good thing. (And if some of the deeper, more esoteric lore is to be believed, he eventually plans to do this to all of reality by imprinting his mind on the "dream of Anu".) Almalexia is planning this as well in the Tribunal expansion, though is starting with a more modest "take over Morrowind" plan. She plans to establish a monotheistic theocracy with her as the supreme god, killing her fellow Tribunes (Sotha Sil and Vivec) in the process, as well as martyring the Nerevarine. |

In Daemon the Omniscient Council of Vagueness use an exploit to hijack the eponymous daemon to achieve this goal. Matthew Sobol expected this, and knew the daemon would be unable to find out who would make the attempt. The exploit was deliberately planted in the code by him so the daemon could identify whoever used it and destroy them financially. Their attempt to take over the world just leads them to ruin. | |

Most villains in Super Sentai have world domination as their goal. If they're Alien Invaders, then Earth is likely just one of many worlds they seek to conquer. Great Professor Bias of Choujuu Sentai Liveman is unique among Big Bads of the franchise in that he actually does succeed in conquering the world. For all of a few minutes anyway before Yusuke disrupts his Mass Hypnosis. |

Danny Phantom Big Bad Vlad only hinted that he had potential desires for the world as his current evil plans focused more on personal vendettas, but then Season Three came where it's revealed he wants it. Only one has ever succeeded in dominating the planet: Dark Danny in an alternate future, though that can be a case of destroying the planet. Pariah Dark gets special mention as well, since he took over the Ghost Zone (and Amity Park) before he was turned into Sealed Evil in a Can again. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, there's the Monodominant faction within The Empire: they believe that peace will come when Mankind has conquered the entire Galaxy and eradicated every other intelligent species in it. The irony is that the theory was originally formulated as a sarcastic joke by a guy who thought it obviously impossible to achieve. This is basically a basic requirement for being a Primarch. Whether by force of arms, by demagoguery, by using your family's political influence, by skinning all the criminals alive until everyone else on the planet follows you through sheer fear for their lives... Angron and maybe Alpharius are the only two exceptions. |

Several factions of Warhammer have this as their expressed goal; The Skaven see all other races as inferior, and wish to exterminate/enslave them to prove that point. The Chaos Gods want their servants to overrun the world so they can turn it into Hell on Earth, thus empowering them further. Unfortunately, their top general has other plans. Nagash the Undying wants a universal undead kingdom, with everyone serving him as his mindless, soulless minions. |

The goal of the second half is to dethrone him, preferably before he gets bored of nuking the survivors with the Light Of Judgment and really gets cracking on the stated goal of "building a monument to nonexistence.". Final Fantasy II: This is the raison d'etre for the Big Bad, The Emperor. Why he wants to rule everything is never gone into in the game itself. Final Fantasy XIV: This is the goal of the Garlean Empire, as they see themselves as the only ones worthy to rule, seeing other nations as dens of unenlightened barbarians. |

Doctor Who: In "The Tomb of the Cybermen", Kleig, a human helping the Cybermen for power, goes on a rant about how the world is a disorganized mess of conflicting ideals, and only his superior intellect could bring it together to solve all its problems. The following season, in "The Invasion", Tobias Vaughn, also helping the Cybermen, would make almost word-for-word the same rant. It's probably worth noting that in the new series, at least, when an episode takes place on Earth, chances are good the Alien of the Week is trying to take over the world or some variant on that theme. Recurring villains the Cybermen are also proponents of Taking Over the World. Notable exceptions to this rule, however, are the Daleks and the Time Lords. In "The Sound of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords", the Master takes over the world, and starts by wiping out a tenth of the population. The Reset Button is eventually hit, but only after an entire year of brutal massacres, rocking out to the Scissor Sisters while torturing his prisoners, and planning to take over the universe for all time. "The Fires of Pompeii": The Pyroviles, having lost their homeworld, plot to emulate Rome by taking over the entire known world, not to mention the rest of the planet. They also plan to convert humanity into their species. In "The End of Time", the Master does this again, by becoming every single human being except Wilf and Donna. In the Monk Trilogy ( "Extremis", "The Pyramid at the End of the World" and "The Lie of the Land"), the monks require "assent" before taking over the world, but once they have it, promptly alter everyone's memories to believe they've always ruled the world. Their reasons for this are ... unclear. In "Terror of the Zygons", this is the Zygons' plan. The Doctor questions whether a compulsively secretive race could manage this. |

Terra Invicta: This is the goal of three of the seven factions. As a Cult who worship the alien invaders, the Servants will do everything possible to facilitate their invasion of Earth and ensure its success. If the Servants succeed in their goals, Earth becomes a Voluntary Vassal to the Hydras' empire with humanity elevated to a position of relative privilege within the alien hierarchy. The Protectorate, believing that any war against a much more advanced FTL-capable species would quickly lead to human extinction, have the goal of enforcing the submission of anti-alien resistance movements that might threaten the aliens and determining the best means of a dignified and conditional surrender that gives the aliens what they want while ensuring mankind's independence. As they eventually fall into denial and authoritarianism in their quest to placate the invaders, their ending ultimately has them building a fleet of Kill Sats in orbit and using them to nuke the UN in New York City, forcing all human nations to surrender and preventing further war at the cost of Earth becoming an alien puppet state that isn't allowed an independent military or space program. The Initiative are a loose confederation of corporate interest groups and government elites who want to take advantage of the chaos in the alien invasion to pull this off. Later however they develop designs on overthrowing the alien's civilization as well as the established order on Earth. The end result is some shadowy conspiracy ruling both Earth and space like something out of Deus Ex. |

Digimon Fusion has both the standard villainous examples as well as a rare heroic example of this trope. The protagonist's digmon, Shoutmon's goal throughout the series is to become the king of the entire digital world so he can help as many people as possible. Of course, in the first season, the digital world is largely disjointed and under constant threat by the Bagra Army who also are examples of this trope. Two less prominent factions, Blue Flare and Midnight, also seemingly want to rule the world. In the end, the first season becomes a race between four different factions to take over the world: one good, one neutral, and two evil. Then, in season 2, the Bagra Army succeeds in taking over the Digital World. Meanwhile, Blue Flare some renegade members of Midnight join Shoutmon's crew. Now, the villains rule the world, and the heroes are the only ones left trying to take over the world. Of course, the villains are trying to make everyone in the world as miserable as possible for their true plan: gathering enough negative energy to destroy both the digital and human worlds, and remake in in Lord Bagra's image. In the end, the heroes stop them, and Shoutmon successfully becomes the king of digimon. The Big Bad of season 3 literally manages it at the end of the season. After exposing himself and breaking the Brave Snatcher, he turns the entire earth into his own body and absorbs every human and Digimon in the world onto him... and Tagiru and Gumdramon were the last ones left to stop him. Thankfully, the destruction he causes comes undone after he's hunted down. |

Things almost go badly wrong, but experiencing that self-centred narcissism makes Jim realise that nothing short of this trope will satisfy Angelina. Sure enough, she's working behind the scenes to launch a revolution. | |

Dragon Ball: Piccolo Daimao's goal is to conquer the world. And he does. Easily. Pilaf, the Red Ribbon Army, Vegeta, Frieza and his relatives, and Babidi all had plans for world/universal domination at one point or another. Specifically, Frieza was in the business of conquering and selling planets. |

TRON: Legacy: Clu wants to escape from the Grid into Real Life and bring his army with him. How he plans to take over the world with a few thousand troops and no real weapons (or, at least, something that would work in the real world) is never explained, although some fans claim he can program more troops once outside. One thing's for sure though, if Clu escapes he will stop at nothing to make our world open and available to all of them. Yes! TO ALL OF THEM!!!!! | |

Superman: Lex Luthor's original goal was to take total control of Metropolis as a foundation for taking over the world, and from there the rest of the universe. Then Superman showed up and started ruining all of his plans. Now his goal is to get rid of Superman so he can get back to his original goal and soothe his massive ego. Superman: Savage Dawn: Vandal Savage, Wrath, Alexander Bend and HORDR work together to systematically destroy Superman and everyone he cares about and, in time, conquer the world. The Unknown Supergirl: Lesla-Lar cooks up a scheme to get rid of Superman and Lex Luthor, and then taking over the world. Or destroying it. Whatever she pleases. The Death of Superman: Cyborg-Superman pretends to be an amnesiac Superman to cover his plan to take over the world. Two for the Death of One: Lord Satanis plans to obtain ultimate magic power and become the ruler or everything. The Great Darkness Saga: Darkseid comes very close to take over the galaxy and "begin a new era of darkness". Starfire's Revenge: The titular Queenpin intends to use her wealth to raise an army with which to topple the world's governments. The Death of Superman (1961): After murdering Superman, Lex Luthor sets his sights on conquering the world. The Girl with the X-Ray Mind: Lesla-Lar releases several Kryptonian criminals from the Phantom Zone to help her conquer Earth. Unfortunately for her, the Phantom Zoners are not interested in dividing up the planet, and kill Lesla off. The Phantom Zone: General Dru-Zod intends to conquer the universe after getting out of his dimensional prison. Supergirl (1984): Selena aims to use her knowledge of black magic to conquer the world. "Superman and Spider-Man": Lampshaded. Superman confronts Doctor Doom, claiming he knows Doom is up to something big. Doom retorts OF COURSE he is up to something: conquering the world. He then snidely asks whether Superman had not yet figured that out. |

The Legend of Korra: Amon and the Equalists. Their stated goal is a world revolution against benders of the four elements, but they never manage to take control of more than a single city. There's little to suggest their ultimate goal was remotely plausible, given the lack of known appeal of their revolutionary ideology to foreigners, and the practical matter of their city-state being economically dwarfed by the rest of the world. | |

This is obviously the goal of several criminal organizations in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, like Team Rocket and Cipher who do so through capturing rare and powerful Pokémon. There's also the (still unnamed) organization lead by the Bloodline King, who seeks to rule the world by amassing an army of Bloodliners to wipe out normal humans and Pokémon for considering them inferior. His son, the Bloodline Prince, also has this goal, albeit only intending to wipe out normal humans and leave Pokémon alone. | |

In the backstory of Ages of Shadow, Jade tried to do this with her newfound power, but that just led to her being sealed away. Once reestablishing contact with Earth (well, an Alternate Universe version, anyway), she tries to do this the old fashioned way via her Shadow Walkers conquering lands by force. And when that fails, she decides on a more direct approach, having the Walkers gather the soul energy needed to make her strong enough to escape her imprisonment and conquer the world directly by pulling it into the Netherworld with her. | |

Shadow Hearts: Covenant: Parodied. When the Superboss Orobas appears he begins to spout off about his plans for world domination. At that point, however, Anastasia — who by this point has seen a half-dozen different enemies say much the same things - steps forward and asks, "And Then What??" When Orobas asks what she means, she demands to know what he's going to do with the world once he conquers it. Orobas stammers for a bit, and then mutters that he'll have to think about it... at which point Anastasia tells the party to just beat him down. | |

Tekken 6 has this as the goal of Jin Kazama, previously The Hero of the series, who takes control of the Mishima Zaibatsu after winning the King of Iron Fist Tournament in the previous title, transforms it into an N.G.O. Superpower, and launches World War III to bring the world under his control. ...or so it appears! In truth, he is trying to destroy the Mishima bloodline, which he considers the cause of the world's strife, and is using the resources of the Mishima Zaibatsu to achieve them. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Warren Mears. He mostly fails because he's less like Lex Luthor, and more like Max Cady. Apparently the goal of The Mayor, though he never got past the "become giant demon snake" stage of his plan. Presumably this would give him the power to do so. The Master also showed interest in ruling the world, as did Adam, who planned to re-populate Earth with an army of beings like himself and the First wanted to possess every human being on the planet, so it probably applies as well. The only Big Bad with no ambitions of this kind was Glory who just wanted to go home at the cost of the apocalypse (and even then, she only wanted to go back to her home world so that she could rule it). Simone's stated goal to Buffy. Started by taking over an island near Italy and kicking everyone off of it, beating up an old woman who had given her food and shelter while doing so. |

Bazil Broketail: This is the Masters of Padmasa's goal. In fact, they're just one part of an interdimensional struggle though, with wars occurring across many worlds and planes of existence. Waakzaam already managed to achieve that goal twelve times already, albeit offpage. However, by trying to conquer Ryetelth and challenging the dragon armies of Argonath — especially Bazil and Relkin — he bit off more than he could chew. |

Cartoon Action Hour: All three sample series' Big Bads (Nekkrottus, General Archnid, and Maxilliam Mercy) have this trope at their goal—but this is justifed as it's a 1980s Shout-Out to goals of most 1980s cartoon villains. | |

Paperinik New Adventures: In one story, Paperinik guesses that Leonard Vertighel altered a number of the Time Police's droids to try this. Vertighel, who was actually trying to create the perfect woman to love and be loved, laughs and replies "Be frank with me: you read a lot of comic books, do you?". In one of Angus Fangus' short stories, our reporter has been captured by the mysterious Fang-Ho: In one of the stories of Fantomius (of whom Paperinik is a sort of Legacy Character), the cruel Fu-Man-Etchu wants a mask with hypnotic powers. Fantomius guesses it's to try and take over the world... But the villain reveals it's actually to subdue all the pharmacists in the world and force them not to make allergy drugs, so everyone would suffer from his own continuous sneezes. Fantomius promptly laughs and declares it would have been less crazy trying to take over the world. The Legend of the Chaos God: Solego's plans to escape his imprisonment and take over the world are constantly disrupted by the protagonists he runs afoul with Darkwing Duck being the biggest of them all. |

The Zabi family of Mobile Suit Gundam have this as their ultimate objective, seeking to grind Earth and all of the space colonies under their jackbooted heels. Their reasons for doing so differ—Degwin and Kycilia want to bring their familial political philosophy to the entirety of humanity and make Zeon the strongest nation in existence, Garma and Dozle just want to make their father proud, and Gihren sees it as an exercise in stroking his own ego. All of them, and particularly Gihren and Kycilia, believe that Despotism Justifies the Means. Dark Messiah Paptimus Scirocco of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, like the Zabis before him, has World Domination as his end goal. Whether he's a Visionary Villain or a Manipulative Bastard of a Narcissist who wants to remake the world in his own image is a matter of some debate in the fandom. |

Blood Meridian: At multiple points, Judge Holden expresses his desire to become a suzerain over the whole earth, wanting to subjugate all animals and create a cruel, social Darwinist society for humans. How exactly he plans on going about this, or whether or not he even has a plan at all, is unclear. Whatever his plan may be, he seems to be playing the long game, content at the moment with spreading terror and death wherever he goes. | |

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Emperor of Nilfgaard Emhyr var Emreis was A Nazi by Any Other Name and pursued aggressive expansionist policies that led to him declaring war on the Northern Kingdoms with this in mind. In the Golden Ending, he succeeds but abdicates the throne to his The Chosen One daughter Ciri, fulfilling the prophecy and leaving the world in good hands. | |

The Most Epic Story Ever Told in All of Human History: Ridiculously Epic outright states this as the goal he just succeeded at during the start of the second episode. However, he probably ruined this by telling everyone exactly how to take the world back from him during his Evil Gloating. | |

Subverted in Queen of All Oni. The Enforcers assume, due to their experience with past Big Bads, that this is Queen Jade's ultimate goal. However, Jade knows that aiming for a goal that large is what led to said past Big Bads being defeated, and as such is more small-scale — she merely wants enough power to ensure she's never defeated, in order to maintain the comfortable and hedonistic life style she's created for herself. | |

The goal of the Disney Villains in the Kingdom Hearts series is to use the Heartless to take over their worlds, and all others, even if it means killing everyone else. In the first game, by the time Sora reaches Agrabah, Jafar has already conquered all of Saudi Arabia, and is actively seeking both the Keyhole (to kill everyone and send the world into the Realm of Darkness) and Jasmine (because she's 1/7th of a Living MacGuffin to bring The End of the World as We Know It). |
