The Man with the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green

In the Marvel Comics cosmic crossover event ' Realm of Kings', written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Quasar travels through a time/space rift to an alternate earth with multiple Lovecraftian elements being part of the everyday reality of that world. His magical powers are nearly omnipotent and he is able to focus his powers into a ball of energy which can destroy a universe. If Shuma-Gorath was to enter the prime Marvel reality (Earth-616), the pressure from his aura would destroy multiple galaxies. From across dimensions he is able to transmutate whole planets. Shuma-Gorath is one of the lords of Chaos and is pure power, the form others see is simply his shell. He has conquered hundreds of realities and in his own dimension is omnipotent, exists simultaneously in many planes though only a tiny fragment of his essence and power ever crosses over to another reality.

Shuma-Gorath claims to have been there in the beginning, which if true would make him billions of years old. Shuma-Gorath has been confirmed to have been in existence at least several hundred million years, as far back as the age of dinosaurs. Marvel later reveals in the Marvel Fact Files that the 'Many-Angled Ones' are also known as the 'Old Ones' and therefore Shuma-Gorath is the ruler of the Many-Angled Ones (being the 'Master of the Old Ones' per the Marvel Handbook Horror 2005). In The Thanos Imperative, Shuma-Gorath is revealed to be a member of the Many-Angled Ones. Countless worlds and dimensions worship the Many-Angled Ones, have been conquered by them, or destroyed by these ancient beings. They are beings of chaos, destruction, corruption, and evil. It's not clear what is their origin, though one theory is that just as demons were created by the nightmares of mortals, so were the Many-Angled Ones created by the nightmares of demons themselves. In the Marvel Multiverse, the Many-Angled Ones are Eldritch-like entities that live outside the universes, in the space between the infinite number of realities and who appear to exist simultaneously in many planes at once. As a result, when they manifest in our universe they appear as disconnected floating body parts of some larger beast that is complete in the higher dimension (similar to how a three dimensional being would appear in flatland as its parts pass through the plane of that two-dimensional world). The many-angled ones exist in a space with more dimensions than our own hence, they appear to be many angled. In the comic, the many-angled ones have a dastardly plan to impose rigid geometrical order on the whole universe, essentially reducing it to clockwork. However, they appear somewhat different from the Cthulhu Mythos entities.

In Zenith they are known as the Lloigor, a direct reference to creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos. They first appeared in Grant Morrison's story Zenith, which appeared in the British comics anthology 2000 AD.
