12. Elektra King
Evil Deeds: While the main villain in The World Is Not Enough could be debated, Michael Apted, the director of the film says Elektra King (Sophie Marceau, not Renard is the main villain in this movie. King's evil scheme is to blow up Istanbul which would force the world to utilize her family's oil pipeline exclusively. She blew up her own father for refusing to pay her ransom, when she was kidnapped by Renard. King is one of the most manipulative and deceptive Bond villains. King pretends to be innocent to both Bond and M, who is a family friend. An important aspect of King's plot is the murder of M who advised her father not to pay the ransom. Elektra also seduces James to help her seem innocent. Another incident that displays Elektra's insanity is that she cut off her ear while kidnapped. Elektra is insane, manipulative, seductive, and deceptive. She will stop at nothing to achieve her own ends.
Signs of Weakness: None. Elektra has no redeeming qualities and is a maniac determined to get revenge for her father's mishandling of her kidnapping.
