The measure of a hero is the quality of his enemies. Bond has faced some of fiction's most memorable villains.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Head of SPECTRE
The unseen hand behind SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). White cat optional. Commands from the shadows. Bond's true nemesis. The scar, the monocle, the Nehru jacket — all additions by the films.
Auric Goldfinger
Gold-obsessed industrialist
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" Cheats at cards and golf. Operation Grand Slam would irradiate Fort Knox, making his own gold more valuable. Killed by his own ambition.
Le Chiffre
SMERSH paymaster
"The Cipher" — a man without a past. Uses SMERSH funds for his own benefit, must win them back at baccarat. The torture scene. Weeps blood from a damaged tear duct.
Dr. Julius No
Reclusive scientific genius
Metal hands. Rejected by both East and West, works for SPECTRE. His Caribbean island hides rocket-toppling technology. Crushed by guano.
Rosa Klebb
SMERSH operations chief
Former colonel in Soviet intelligence. The poison-tipped shoe blade. Recruits Tatiana Romanova as bait for Bond. Killed by Tatiana.
Emilio Largo
SPECTRE No. 2
The eye patch. Commands the Disco Volante. Steals nuclear weapons for blackmail. "The Shark" — feeds enemies to his pool of tiger sharks.
Francisco Scaramanga
World's most expensive assassin
"The Man with the Golden Gun." $1 million per kill. Third nipple (in the books). His golden gun assembles from everyday items.
Hugo Drax
Industrialist and rocket builder
Cheats at cards at Blades. Secretly plans to destroy London with the very rocket he's "giving" to England. In the film, he wants to destroy Earth from space.
Mr. Big
Crime lord and voodoo priest
Controls Harlem's underworld. Claims to be the zombie of Baron Samedi. Smuggles pirate gold through fish tanks. His name: Buonapart Ignace Gallia.
Max Zorin
Microchip magnate
Product of Nazi genetic experiments. Plans to destroy Silicon Valley and corner the microchip market. "So, does anyone else want to drop out?"
Notable Henchmen
Oddjob
Goldfinger's mute Korean bodyguard. His steel-rimmed bowler hat can decapitate statues. Electrocuted at Fort Knox.
Red Grant
SPECTRE assassin trained specifically to kill Bond. Former British Army boxer. "Red wine with fish. That should have told me something."
Jaws
7'2" with steel teeth. Survived a collapsing lair, a shark attack, a train wreck, and a fall from the sky. Eventually turns ally. Falls in love.
