Best Answer

Richard the III truly only became a villain at the hands of William Shakespeare, who turned him into a hunchbacked warmongering monster. This was most likely due to his desire to impress Queen Elizabeth, a descendent of the Tudor line who's Grandfather took the throne from Richard III at the end of the Wars of the Roses.

In truth, Richard was no worse than either of his brothers, and perhaps a great deal better than his middle brother George. His one noted villainous act may have been the death of his nephews, the lost princes of the Tower of London. However, though contextual evidence suggests he was responsible for their disappearance, no real proof has ever been found. In short, Richard was a York King, and if that makes him a villain, then at least he wasn't alone.

Who are the villains from James Bond?

There were absolutely loads of villains in the James Bond films so I will only provide you with the most notorious of the villains. Ernst Stavro Blofeld who was the head of the secret terrorist organisation known as S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Out of all the Bond villains Blofled is probably considered the most evil of them all. Some of the characteristics of this criminal mastermind are his brilliant criminal mind, his ruthlessness, and his snobbishness. He appeared in the James Bond films; From Russia With Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and then in For Your Eyes Only (1981). Meaning that Ernst Stavro Blofeld is the most notorious of all the villains.
