7. Hugo Drax



Evil Deeds: Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale earns a high spot on the list for concocting one of the most evil plans to hit the big screen. Moonraker's main antagonist wants to murder every person on the planet by launching globes of lethal nerve gas to the Earth until all people on the planet are dead. Drax would live on with his hand picked examples of physical perfection to create a new master race in space. Obviously wanting to wipe out the world earns big points on a villainy countdown. The wealth and connections Drax has developed make him difficult to stop because he has infinite resources. He also kills one of his disloyal female assistants by sicking a duo of vicious dogs on her. Drax's plan to annihilate the entire population of planet Earth and his Hitler-like desire for a master race make him one of the most evil villains in cinema history.

Hurting his cause: Drax's plan would be more diabolical if Karl Stromberg had not unleashed a similar plan two years earlier in the Spy Who Loved Me. Like many of the other main Bond villains, Drax is no match for Bond physically and does not put up much of a fight before sends him into space. Hugo Drax is also completely devoid of a personality, therefore, he is the most boring Bond bad guy.
