He's also given a missile to crazed Mexican revolutionary Marcos Mendez, which is attached to a DeadMansSwitch and which Mendez plans to use to destroy Washington, D.C. Voz claims to "have a Mendez everywhere"--including North Korea and Russia--and plans to have them all fire missiles, as he believes the "world must end in order for a more perfect one to emerge"; Voz plans to [[DarkMessiah take his followers and start said perfect world up in space]].

When Dean Crandell tries to inform Jeffries about what's going on, he's shot and killed, and when Leo Pedranski tries to inform the Senate Oversight Committee, he's killed too. Kudrow eventually tries to personally [[WouldHurtAChild kill Simon]] himself, has Burrell shoot at FBI agents when they show up to try to stop him, and tries to kill Jeffries when he interferes again. Despite its purpose, Kudrow's [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist only rooting interest in the code]] is proven to be that he gets all the credit for how effective it is and would take the blame for its failure as well.

* ''Film/NoEscape1994'': [[TheHeavy Walter Marek]] is the [[FauxAffablyEvil cultured, yet savage]], leader of the Outsiders on the prison island.

After being repelled, he later [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath forces two of the heroes to fight to the death]], before attempting to slaughter the Insiders once again.

When his brother asks him to take care of Laura, Moses responds by ruining his brother's life. When Frank Mina and Billy Rose obtain documents that could connect him to Laura, Moses has the two murdered while also trying to have his own daughter murdered when he believes she knows about him.

** ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation Rogue Nation]]'' & ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleFallout Fallout]]'': [[AnarchyIsChaos Solomon Lane]] is a former UsefulNotes/MI6 operative who, after realizing his own sociopathic nature, became enraged and went rogue with [[Characters/MissionImpossibleFilmSeriesTheSyndicate the Syndicate]] to cover up his own deficiencies.

Two years later, Lane uses his ally John Lark--aka August Walker--to get free, now [[RevengeBeforeReason hell-bent on revenge]] against Ethan. To that end, he uses stolen plutonium to rig two nuclear bombs to go off in Kashmir, at a medical site where Ethan's ex-wife Julia is working just out of spite. The nukes will irradiate the water supplies of China, India and Pakistan, affecting a third of the Earth's population while Lane is fine dying in the blast so long as he knows Ethan is framed for being Lark and will rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life haunted by the guilt of Julia's death.

** [[BigBad Lord Cumberland]], a feared witch hunter with a legacy of torture and execution behind him, is the living embodiment of the era's worst hypocrisies. Cumberland arrives in a European village whereupon he immediately assumes duty having those accused as "witches" tried and tortured in every way imaginable before being set to [[BurnTheWitch burn at the stake]]. With a [[EgocentricallyReligious shallow facade of piety]], Cumberland becomes more and more openly corrupt and selfish, keeping a young man prisoner under constant torture to have him sign away his inheritance to Cumberland, strangling the corrupt Albino to death after he mocks him over his impotence, and even having a rape victim's tongue torn out when she refuses to confess to her accusations before irritably ordering her executed. Cumberland's hypocrisy comes to a head when rapes Vanessa in lustful frustration and afterwards he has an entire family set for torture and execution under charges he knows are false, condemning even his once-loyal apprentice to death for his rebellion and responding to rebellion by ordering his men to ride into town and butcher every last man, woman and child out of spite.
** The [[SerialRapist Albino]], Cumberland's predecessor, is a licentious sadist who doesn't even bother with piety to mask his atrocities, using his position to have countless tortured and murdered with no attention to even due process. He uses his position as witch hunter to coerce women to his bed or burn, attempting to have his way with the maid Vanessa and vowing to find any way to see her burn when she rejects him. Albino is finally brought to Cumberland after attempting to rape a woman in her own home and having her husband murdered, sneering that he'll see Cumberland's reputation destroyed before he's ever replaced as witch-finder.

When Davian is interrogated by Ethan Hunt, he gloats about killing the agent, saying that the only real reason he did it was [[ForTheEvulz because it was fun]], before threatening to do the same to Ethan and his wife, no matter what, which he attempts to do multiple times, even going as far as to disguise his own security chief as Ethan's wife, and then killing her, just to torture Ethan. In his final moments, he keeps his promise, and decides to kill Ethan's wife, with Ethan ForcedToWatch.
