Bond villain

Evil mastermind type

A Bond villain is an antagonist in the James Bond film franchise—typically a megalomaniac with grandiose schemes for world domination or destruction, an exotic lair, and distinctive physical quirks or deformities.

The term extends to anyone whose elaborate evil plans or theatrical menace recalls these characters: He built a volcano headquarters like a Bond villain.

Her cat-stroking and monologuing gave off serious Bond villain energy.
