* Tyus Wilcox

Throughout the years and generations, the famous Sherlock Holmes has faced so many trials and tribulations when it comes to solving some cases. These are the [[Main/CompleteMonster worst baddies]] that the GreatDetective from England has encountered when it comes to solving the cases:

'''''HEADER'''''

''[[AC:Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen]]''
* The elusive [[BigBad Fantom]], actually Professor James Moriarty, wishes to engulf the world in war, just [[WarForFunAndProfit so he can line his pockets]]. Killing British and German citizens to increase tensions, the Fantom tries to attack a peace conference by sinking all of Venice, where it was taking place. Founding the titular League while acting as "M", claiming it to be a counterterrorist organization, he gathers a group of individuals with superpowers and advanced technology, planning to replicate them to sell to the highest bidder in the war he plans. At his secret base, he houses hundreds of scientists, forcing them to work around the clock to recreate the League's abilities, while keeping their families hostage in overcrowded cells.

* [[BigBad Professor James Moriarty]], dubbed "[[DiabolicalMastermind The Napoleon of Crime]]" by [[GreatDetective Sherlock Holmes]], is a heartless criminal mastermind, as well as Holmes's [[EvilCounterpart equal]] and [[ArchEnemy opposite]] in terms of intellect. After fatally poisoning Irene Adler to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness remove her from his employ]], Moriarty makes it clear that he has no intention of sparing Holmes's best friend John Watson or Watson's wife Mary if Holmes continues to interfere with his plans. True to his word, Moriarty tries to have Watson and Mary killed, destroying the train they were travelling on in the process. Engineering a plot to jumpstart UsefulNotes/WorldWarI so that he can [[WarForFunAndProfit profit from the bloodshed]] through the sale of munitions, Moriarty enacts this plot through [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and murder, staging a series of bombings to increase tensions between nations, driving a French revolutionary to suicide, and having his henchman, [[TheDragon Sebastian Moran]], assassinate a businessman so Moriarty can acquire his company, killing many others in an explosion to conceal the murder. After capturing Holmes, Moriarty [[ColdBloodedTorture brutally tortures]] him with a meat hook, [[DissonantSerenity calmly singing Schubert as he does]], going on to massacre many of Madame Simza's Gypsy tribe when they rescue Holmes. Having forced Simza's brother to act as an assassin, Moriarty plans to kill a dignitary at a peace summit to incite war. After this plan is thwarted and his assets are seized by the police, Moriarty intends to kill Holmes and his friends in revenge, only being stopped when Holmes throws them both over a waterfall. Ruthless, sadistic, callous, and cruel, Moriarty stands out as the most dangerous criminal Holmes has ever encountered.

* [[WouldHurtAChild Reverend Charles Fitzsimmons]] is the head of the House of Silk and the headmaster of the Chorley Grange House for Boys, a guise that obscures his far more wicked pastimes. Using his position to regularly pimp out his young boys to wealthy clients to rape and sodomize at their leisure for profit, Fitzsimmons enforces a brutal campaign to snuff out any potential threats to his operation in the cruelest ways possible, Charles has a young homeless boy named Ross brutally tortured to death and left with a white strange of silk tied to his mangled carcass as a warning. In response to Sherlock Holmes himself picking up the case, Fitzsimmons kills Ross's sister himself and [[FrameUp frames Holmes for it]], trying to have him murdered later. Fitzsimmons's response to his operation finally being exposed is smug, cheerful indifference to the well-being of the children and a gloating assurance that the [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections position of himself and his clients]] will assure his immunity. A sociopath specializing in the agony of children, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Moriarty himself]] willingly helps Holmes against Fitzsimmons's operation.
