Max Zorin



Max Zorin is a villain from the James Bond movie series; being the the primary antagonist in the film A View To A Kill. He was portrayed by actor Christopher Walken.

He is a wealthy industrialist who operates in the the microchip market and he plans to destroy Silicon Valley with an earthquake to gain monopoly in the market.

He was born around the end of World War II, being the product of a series of medical experimentations conducted by the Nazis in an effort to create super-children by injecting pregnant women with high amounts of steroids; most of the experiments failed and the surviving children grew up to become highly intelligent, but also psychopathic (among them Zorin himself). Later he moved to france and there he became a businessman, from which point he turned into the man seen in the film.

Being one of the surviving super-children, he is extraordinarily intelligent but he also is very psychopathic, highly sadistic and has a near-total lack of loyalty to his men; as seen when he along with his closest henchman personally massacred his own mine workers to ensure that his grand plan would succeed without hindrance.
