YMMV / James Bond (Dynamite)

Go To

  • Complete Monster: See here.
  • Magnificent Bastard:
    • James Bond himself is the accomplished agent of MI6, lacking the more unsavoury traits of his literary counterpart while being no less suave, cunning and ruthless. A debonair thrillseeker while still loyal to Queen and Country, Bond remains unflinching in the face of danger, using his signature charm and wit to win his freedom on multiple occasions. Bond also has no qualms fighting dirty when the situation calls for it, defeating physically superior foes with whatever tools he has at his disposal. One example includes an assassin unable to experience pleasure, who Bond manages to defeat by overdosing him with morphine. On another occasion where he's forced to work for Ernst Stavro Blofeld to kill a traitor within SPECTRE, Bond proceeds to play both sides against each other, causing a civil war that weakens the organisation and leaves Blofeld temporarily out of commission. Thwarting the ambitions of terrorist organisations and criminal empires alike, James Bond truly lives up to his status as a superspy for Her Majesty's Secret Service.
    • Black Box: Selah Sax is a former member of Group 13, a British black-ops team that does the government's dirty work. After a mission accidentally results in several civilian casualties, including children, a guilt-ridden and disillusioned Sax fakes her death. To atone for her past actions, Sax becomes a freelancer who targets assassins and anyone who is a threat to her country. Crossing paths with James Bond after killing one of his targets, Sax teams up with him to track down a black box that contains compromising global secrets. Throughout their time together, Sax proves her guile and resourcefulness by saving Bond on two separate occasions. Sax later convinces Bond to destroy the black box rather than retrieve it for MI6 and the British government, successfully averting a potential world war in the process.
