* General Zod, Ursa and Non in the Christopher Reeve ''Film/{{Superman}}'' film series represent Pride and Wrath. Whereas Superman was sent to his world to live peacefully with the natives of Earth and decides to be its champion, The Phantom Zone criminals choose to come to Earth and conquer it as the supposed right of being innately superior. In doing so, while Superman is like the arrival of a benevolent and humble god, the Trio is a walking/flying armageddon of arrogant selfishness with the powers of a god.

** Also The BigBad of The Old Republic era, Sith Emperor Vitiate represents Gluttony, Pride and Lust. He's already immortal (thanks to adsorbing all life on his home plant) But he aims to adsorb all life in the galaxy just to be sure. He sees himself above all overs like they were mere ants. He loves life and every experience that comes with it and seeks to spend eternity becoming everything from a farmer, to an artist, to a simple man. And unlike most sith Vitiate only seems to value power as a means to an end and doesn't seek power for it's own sake. He somehow manages to be even more cruel and [[{{Sadist}} Sadistic]] [[EvilerThanThou then even Palpatine]].

** Ernst Stavro Blofeld, 007's ArchEnemy and the leader of SPECTRE, is Greed, Pride, Ambition and Wrath all rolled into one DiabolicalMastermind.

Blofeld contrasts Bond by being of modest origins but rising to a position of power in contrast to [[BlueBlood Bond]].

*** Blofeld's flunkies such as [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove Rosa Klebb]], [[Film/{{Thunderball}} Largo]], and [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Le Chiffre]] are all driven by Greed. They're primarily motivated to bring in profit to SPECTRE by all means necessary.
** The titular antagonist of ''Film/DrNo'' isn't just motivated by pure greed after he joined SPECTRE, but also revenge, partly because the Warsaw Bloc and NATO rebuffed his offers to provide his expertise on atomic weapons testing.
** As with Blofeld, most Bond villains such as [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Goldfinger]], [[Film/TomorrowNeverDies Elliot Carver]], and [[Film/AViewToAKill Max Zorin]] are primarily motivated by Greed, as their schemes revolve around monetary gain from whatever EvilPlan they hatched. Another vice they have is Wrath, as they [[VillainousBreakdown break down]] whenever Bond foils their plans, sometimes to the point of killing their mooks. Ambition is another vice for many Bond villains, as they seek to dominate the world through [[TheUnfettered underhanded means.]]

*** [[SexIsViolence Lust]] motivates [[FemmeFatale Xenia Onatopp]], as [[TheBaroness she]] [[DarkActionGirl is]] an AxCrazy CombatSadomasochist who gets sexually aroused when [[SexIsViolence killing people]], especially when she's gunning down innocent scientists at the Russian satellite base in Arkhangelsk.
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'': Wrath motivates RogueAgent Raoul Silva, as he wants [[spoiler:revenge against M for selling him out to the Chinese.

* Immortan Joe in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' is Greed; his defining characteristic is his obsession with ownership of any and all resources in the Wasteland. Tellingly he never refers to his fleeing [[BreedingSlave wives/sex slaves]] as ''people.'' They, and the babies they carry, are his "property" or his "treasures."
* Captain Vidal of ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' representing Pride and absurd amounts of Wrath. A [[WickedStepmother Wicked Stepfather]] obsessed with continuing his legacy, Vidal does not care for others and only uses them as tools for his own benefit. He's pretty much the complete opposite to Ofelia: Where as she is young, optimistic, kind and forgiving, Vidal is older, ruthless, cruel and beyond redemption. The clothes he wears (clean, fascistic grab) not only share a difference to Ofelia wears but to the very rebels he fights, who wear ragged and downtrodden clothes.
* Jigsaw from the ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' franchise is Envy and Pride. He's so convinced that his philosophy is correct and he's genuinely helping people whom he can't conceive of the opposite. Also, his viciousness stems from resentment towards people wasting the gift of life that he's being denied.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** The Sith as a whole have Wrath and Ambition [[PassionIsEvil as their personal philosophy]], drawing their power from hatred to corrupt and control the galaxy. Their opposition to the Jedi Order makes itself apparent [[HarmonyVersusDiscipline in beliefs]] [[GoodColorsEvilColors and appearance.]]
** Emperor Palpatine. Ambition, Pride and Wrath. While his deception is in the first (storyline wise) half of the sextology, he gains his color coded differences in the second half, what with his ultra-aged appearance and stylish black cloak. Is always in dark rooms and such when he is in his Sith garb, and has an ominous theme that plays most of the time when he is onscreen. Done in when he [[ColdBloodedTorture tortures]] his apprentice's son. Vader doesn't appreciate it and tosses him into an engine exhaust vent. [[ExpandedUniverse Except for the Force-Ghost and his clone bodies. In that incarnation, he eventually dies trying to possess Anakin Solo]].
** '''Darth Vader''' is Wrath and ''more'' iconic than the Emperor, and in his own ways- [[FallenHero brought to the Dark Side by Anger]], [[TinTyrant clad in black armour and masked]], [[LukeIAmYourFather and a very personal relationship with the hero]]... and ''definitely'' qualifies for [[RedemptionEqualsDeath the classic death scene]].
** Jabba the Hutt from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' is practically Gluttony and {{Lust}} ''incarnate.''
** From the ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Expanded Universe]] (specifically the ''Knights of the Old Republic'' comics), is [[TreacherousAdvisor Haazen]]. He embodies envy full stop, to the extent that it's eaten up his life; he has a color scheme of dark greys, purples, and reds that sets him apart visually from both other Jedi and Sith characters (fitting, since he considers himself neither); he deceives [[KnightTemplar Lucien]] into thinking he's his friend and mentor (Lucein snarks at Haazen a lot, but its clear he also relies on him a great deal) and is a ShadowArchetype to main character Zayne Carrick. He also gets a ''big'' KarmicDeath brought about as a direct result of his own actions.
** Also The BigBad of The Old Republic era, Sith Emperor Vitiate represents Gluttony, Pride and Lust. He's already immortal (thanks to adsorbing all life on his home plant) But he aims to adsorb all life in the galaxy just to be sure. He sees himself above all overs like they were mere ants.

* [[spoiler: Elijah Price a.k.a. "Mister Glass"]] in ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'', (Ambition and Pride) distinguished physically by his malady. In this case his physical contrast with the hero is the actual basis of the plot, and not just a signifier.
