YMMV / Young Bond

Go To

  • Complete Monster: These are the worst of the varied enemies that the young James Bond faces on his path to being a superspy:
    • SilverFin & By Royal Command: Dr. Perseus Friend is a cold, cruel Nazi biologist infamous for producing biological weapons. Friend helps Randolph Hellebore create a serum which warps the minds and bodies of its users, intending to sell the resultant soldiers to the highest bidders, with Friend even experimenting on and killing a young child. Faking his death, Friend returns and stages a car crash with Graf Otto von Schlick to graft his skin onto himself, but not before having Otto's wife killed. Friend joins up with the Third Reich and participates in a scheme to inspire the workers of Britain to revolt against their leaders with a Communist front, resulting in the assassination of King George V, which would place the Fascism-friendly Edward VIII back on the throne, allying with Hitler's Germany in order to start a deadly war with Russia and convert the entire continent to the cause of Adolf Hitler. When he has Bond and his Love Interest Roan Power captive, Friend decides to repay Bond for their previous encounters by flaying Bond alive while recording it for later viewing and forcing Roan to watch, just for the amusement that he'll gain.
    • Heads You Die: Scolopendra is a genius Mad Scientist with a Social Darwinist bent. Born Audacto Solares, Scolopendra clawed his way to found his own industry and believes all of humanity should be shaped the way he wishes. Developing a plague, Scolopendra intends to unleash it to force the submission of the world, with the deaths of millions thanks to contaminated banknotes while all nations beg him for the cure, having it tested on living victims. Even his own daughter Jagua is tormented and tortured by him, Scolopendra even trying to shatter her skull when he decides she's too weak to live.
    • Heads You Die & Red Nemesis: La Velada ("The Veil"), Soviet agent, is one of the young Bond's most enduring enemies. Working with and manipulating Cuban industralist Scolopendra, La Velada helps him to experiment on victims with Scolopendra's deadly virus, which she plans to help unleash it upon Great Britain and the entire Western world. La Velada also treats Scolopendra's daughter Jagua awfully having her friend killed out of spite and later trying to sell Jagua herself to slavers. Returning to ally with Adam Elmhirst, La Velada is revealed as an architect of the plot to flood London by collapsing pieces of the city and flooding it with the Thames, potentially killing millions in order to allow Britain to become part of Soviet control.
    • Red Nemesis: Adam Elmhirst, in his first appearance, is a seemingly friendly SIS agent. In truth a longstanding traitor for the Soviet Union, Elmhirst is the man who murdered James Bond's parents for stumbling on his plot. Capturing Bond, Elhmirst replays Bond's parents' pleading final moments in order to psychologically mess with Bond's mind, and promises to cripple his current Love Interest if he doesn't get him the information that he needs. Having dug tunnels with explosives, Elmhirst will detonate them and flood London from the Thames, killing countless innocents so he can have the king murdered and surrender the nation to the USSR.
