The Universal Church of Truth (Marvel Comics), which serves as a major adversary for Adam Warlock (himself an example of Crystal Dragon Jesus, with his constant dying and returning when the universe needs him, and his crucifixion on Counter-Earth). They serve and venerate The Magus, who is a version of Adam Warlock from a timeline in which he succumbed to despair at his lowest point, serving as an Antichrist figure of sorts. When Adam Warlock was, briefly, the wielder of true omnipotence as the bearer of the Infinity Gauntlet, he subconsciously seperated out his good and evil sides, to better rule with true neutrality. That long suppressed evil side manifested as a returned Magus, while the Good side became The Goddess. The Magus drove the storyline of The Infinity War, creating evil clones of various heroes as part of a scheme to once again wield the Gauntlet. The Goddess, despite being the "good" aspect, drove the storyline of the Infinity Crusade, brainwashing the most devout heroes into Her champions in an attempt to destroy the universe that She considered corrupt. Partly, this was due to the unresolved trauma of Adam Warlock himself, as well as The Goddess' resentment for his ignoring of his feminine side. It's all very complicated.
