!!''Literature/{{Fantomas}}'' novels:
* CompleteMonster: The original French version of Fantômas is without qualms, and seemingly has no boundaries or limits he won't cross. From simple murder to releasing plague-infested rats on an ocean liner, exposing 500 people to a rather cruel death. And he does it all seemingly for the sheer hell of it. Not even his own children are safe from his bloodthirsty ways.

!!''Film/{{Fantomas}}'' movies:
* {{Camp}}: The '60s movies have not aged well: De Funès is over the top, Fantômas looks silly in his greenish blue mask and the fight scenes are quite bad. To be fair the film is noted for being intentionally much lighter than the books. Also, it's part of De Funès' over-the-top acting that makes him so great. It actually works quite well in comedic scenes.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The '60s movie trilogy was bizarrely popular in Latin America (especially Cuba) and the former Soviet Union.
* OlderThanTheyThink: In terms of over-the-top SpyFiction, ''Fantômas Unleashed'' predated ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'''s tobacco-gun and VolcanoLair by two years.
