Villians
Karl Stromberg – Curt Jurgens
Karl Stromberg, with his webbed hands, is a reclusive megalomaniac who is bent on creating a new world. He is convinced that the undersea world has everything one needs in life. There is beauty, ugliness, and death. From his underwater base, Atlantis, he makes his plans for this. He orders out Jaws and Sandor to kill all who have come into contact with the submarine tracking system which he has been using to capture submarines.
Stromberg is a villain that sits back as he orders his other men around, and does not like failure or disloyalty. He sends the mistress at the table to her death for disobeying him and tries many times to kill Bond.
He takes Anya back to Atlantis at the end of the film and then confronts James Bond there. Dodging a bullet from under the table, Bond fires back, and doesn’t miss.

At the end of the film, he escapes from Atlantis.

Gadgets
Walther PPK – (Dr. No – Tomorrow Never Dies)
The Walther PPK is first issued to James Bond in Dr. No by Major Boothroyd, when his Beretta is taken away. It delivers shots like a brick through a plate-glass window and has excellent stopping power. It has saved the life of James Bond on many of his missions and has been used to stop several of his main adversaries.
Bond has lost the PPK on numerous missions, always getting a new replacement from Q Branch. Professor Dent is the first unlucky victim of the powerful handgun in the famous scene in Dr. No.
The Walther PPK is 7.65mm and carries six rounds.
Watch –
This allowed MI6 to send short messages to Bond while in the field. Bond receives orders from M on the type connected from his watch during the precredits sequence. It immediately required that he report in.
Ski Rifle –
While it appeared to be nothing more than a common skiing pole, it actually concealed a rifle inside. By flicking a latch, Bond could aim the rifle on his pursuers and fire a bullet.
He used it as he was chased by Sergei and his men during the precredits.
Anya’s Cigarettes –
This cigarette, which Anya owned, could be used to blow its effects on other people, causing them to instantly fall asleep.
She used this to her advantage on Bond while on the boat with the microfilm.
