Nicolai Technus (Danny Phantom) is the Master of all Technology and a ghost with high levels of mastery over all forms of technology.
The Abyssal Forge (Darksiders II) was an abominable creation of deranged Maker with the ability to craft others of its kind which could unmake and recreate universes as the dominant entities.
Adam/King Nasod (Elsword) The King of the Nasods, alongside his queen, Eve, are the rulers of the nasod race.
Upon connecting to the monumentally advanced Domain, Cortana (Halo) attained such power that she could control even the Warden Eternal, a fellow Machine Lord.
The Warden Eternal (Halo) is the guardian of the Domain and her secrets, who has control over the Prometheans and many extremely durable bodies for himself and the ability to take on and possibly kill Spartan-IIs by himself.
HADES (Horizon Zero Dawn), a very powerful subroutine of GAIA, had such control over the technology that it was seen as a deity or a demon to the primitive peoples of the world.
Named for the Greek god of the forge, HEPHAESTUS (Horizon Zero Dawn) was responsible for building all kinds of machines in its role as one of GAIA's subroutines.
The Deus Ex Machina (The Matrix), contrary to its name, is not an actual divine entity, but rather is the central machine consciousness that has control over all of the Machine forces, as well as a very powerful agent able to completely rewrite the Matrix.
After taking over major functions of Cardinal, Quinella (Sword Art Online) became the most powerful artificial intelligence in Underworld.
After Edward Diego/CY-001 (System Shock) was forced to join S.H.O.D.A.N., he was converted into a Cyborg Lord as her second in command.
Skynet (Terminator Franchise) operates as the master of machines, can keep its memory intact across different timelines, take flawless facsimile of a human body as a T-5000, and transform others into machines.
