I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten into the system to build mythic big bads and done anything particularly interesting... I've started working on a few characters that were begging for mythic treatment... the sort that really shouldn't die without a huge effort by the PCs.
As examples, I've got an almost unstoppable barbarian with 740 hp, DR 20, and insane attacks... and I'm working on an archmage that has very few limits. I'm hoping they're powerful enough to be the world shakers they're supposed to be.
What has anybody else come up with?

I am interested in the details! Can you post more information on how you built that Barbarian? I had a mythic barbarian concept, but only finished building levels 1-20.

Just recently built a Human barbarian 11/Champion 5 that can deal (Via mythic Power Attack, Mythic Vital Strike, and Improved Vital Strike) either 9d6+87+1d6 or 15d6+205+1d6+2d10 on a critical hit. Either way he tickles even the hardiest fighter, and that's without the Maximized Critical path ability.
Side note, icy burst for those random d6 and d10, with him being Large sized with a greataxe.
Blasting is exceedingly well supported in mythic pathfinder. Fireball (the mythic one) can go entirely through fire resistance with augments, which is quite powerful. My friend had one that was consistently doing 400 damage per fireball at level 12 MR 6.
It seems to me that the key to the archmage is getting arcane metamastery x4, allowing you to use Quicken Spell on your highest-level abilities. And since mythic spellcasting is all you do, getting mythic spellpower is also a good idea.

Typical action for the first round is to cast mythic time stop and activate arcane metamastery (Quicken Spell).
On the second round, they cast mythic haste and augmented mythic deathless.
On the next round of time stop, they maneuver over the most powerful nonflying foe and cast reverse gravity and prismatic sphere so that the foe falls through both the top and bottom of the sphere when normal time resumes. If necessary, on the following round the caster will use disintegrate, telekinesis, or polymorph any object to remove potential handholds and deny a save.
If there are flying creatures present, the archmage casts augmented mythic orb of the void twice. Using the additional move action from mythic haste, they can control both orbs at once. Once time resumes, the archmage casts two energy drain spells and moves both orbs through as many creatures as possible. On the following round they make another sweep with both orbs, cast energy drain at the most powerful remaining foe, then cast mythic circle of death, horrid wilting, or mythic chain lightning.
