10 James Bond Villains With The Most Sinister Plans
9. Gustav Graves - Let There Be Light... And Bug Squashing (Die Another Day)
As well as majoring in Western Hypocrisy, Colonel Tan-Sun Moon - later transformatively known as Gustav Graves - was also a student in the amoral art of James Bond supervillainy. In particular, the workings of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his big threatening space weapon, and Alec Trevelyan with his, erm, big threatening space weapon. Such satellite-based shenanigans inspire (shamelessly rip off) Graves to create his very own big threatening space weapon, Icarus.
He could have become a real diamond geezer, instead, by using Icarus solely as a means to "bring light and warmth to the darkest parts of the Earth... grow crops all year round, bringing an end to hunger".
Instead, Graves' true purpose for Icarus is to concentrate its fantastic firepower along the landmine-infested Korean Demilitarized Zone, clearing the way for North Korean troops to invade the South, with both sides reuniting to eventually live happily ever after as one Korea.
You see, he only has the best intentions, and as an ancient Simpsons proverb says: If you want peace, you must prepare for war.
