* Evil versions occur in [[Stargate SG 1]] with the Goa'uld and the Replicators. The best (and therefore most recurring) way to convince the Goa'uld's or Ori's followers that their gods are false gods? Show they're not omniscient, usually by figuring out a way to kill the former or kill the Priors of the latter.
** The beginning of Teal'c's defection (or just the end of his faith in the Goa'uld) came when he decided to disobey orders, allowing a prisoner to escape, then lied to his "God" about having carried out the order to kill. Apophis believes him and you can see the look in Teal'c's eyes confirm everything he had feared.
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]] can often be perceived as omniscient; he's one of the most intelligent beings in all of the universe, with an excellent knowledge of culture, science, history and language, and manipulative enough to initiate many a [[Plan]]. To many, he appears like a God figure, with titles such as 'The Lonely Angel' and 'Oncoming Storm'. But he ''can'' make mistakes, and he makes them hard.

* In ''[[Kid Radd]]'', {{spoiler|[[The Omniscient|The Seer, who else?]]}} has one of these moments when {{spoiler|he takes over Crystal's body, taking away his omniscience and causing him to miss two vital things that let Radd win: the Lucky Penny and the health power-up inside Bogey (or perhaps just Bogey's presence inside Chimera).}} Doubles as {{spoiler|a [[Villainous Breakdown]]}}.
* Doc Scratch in ''[[Homestuck]]'' is ''functionally'' omniscient. He still has gaps in his knowledge. He does not [[Freak -Out|like being reminded about that.]]
** His gaps are mostly caused by the [[Power of the Void]] and [[Alternate Timeline|Alternate Timelines]]. He also has some trouble with Spades Slick and {{spoiler|the author}}.
* Sarda in ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' is shown to be completely omniscient until [[Reality Warper|Red Mage]] finds one place he can't get into - [[Double Entendre|his a-hole]]. That is, where the Light Warriors end up when Red Mage puts them between two portable holes (the a-hole and the b-hole) and drops one into the other.
