Evil Deeds: Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce, the antagonist of the film Tomorrow Never Dies, like many of his predecessors in the role of main Bond villain wants to start World War III. However, unlike people like Karl Stromberg and Hugo Drax, Carver has no moral opposition to the world. Carver, a media baron, wants to start World War III simply to boost his own ratings and wealth. This selfish attitude combined with Carver's narcissistic egotism make him very easy to hate (At one point Carver compares himself to God). Carver also encourages his wife, Paris, to rekindle her old relationship with Bond to find out more about the mysterious spy. Then Elliot has Paris killed for committing the infidelity he seemingly encouraged. Carver also murders one of his main henchmen during a stand off with Bond. Carver's aspirations for world wide media domination and attempts to start World War III added to the murder he arranged for his wife earn him a high spot on the list. The maniacal media mogul also played a stronger role in the movie then most Bond villains. Carver also may have suffered the most extreme death of any main Bond villain being sliced up by a giant drill.
Signs of Weakness: Physically Carver is no competition for Bond and is defeated easily in hand to hand combat.
