15. Dr. Julius No



Evil deeds: Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman), the inaugural Bond villain, possesses a keene intellect and a lofty opinion of said intellect. His main criminal scheme is the disruption of the American space program, by jamming the radios of American rockets launching from Cape Canaveral. The mechanical armed maniac intimidates both the Jamaican locals and his henchmen through his power and intellect as well as his affiliation with SPECTRE. No is smart, cold hearted, and vengeful.

Hurting His Cause: The film Dr. No's main goal is introduce and endear James Bond to the audience. No plays a minor role in the film and does not appear until there are about 30 minutes left in the film. No's plan is especially weak and his motive for diverting rockets is never explained. This plan pales in comparison to his SPECTRE colleagues attempting to hold the world for ransom and start the next world war.
