The Doctor Trilogy.
Dr. Fu Manchu is a supervillain who was introduced in a series of novels by the English author Sax Rohmer beginning shortly before World War I and continuing for another forty years. I know this character from the Peter Seller's final movie "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu". Due to the comedy nature of the movie, the villain was not that supervillain.
Dr. No on the other hand is the bad guy among the other three. Even though he is not a supervillain compared to the rest of the bad guys in James Bond series, he has a special place as the very first villain of the Bond series. Unlike the other three, his role in the movie is surpassed by Sean Connery and beautiful Ursula Andress.
Dr. Knock is the only medical doctor among the three and he is not a villain like the other two. His intelligence would be easily compete with the rest. I watched the 1951 version of the movie where Louis Jouvet shines in his role. If a hospital owner had seen this movie, he/she would have highly recommended it to the doctors of the hospital to increase the profitability.
When put side by side, the faces have something in common. Just a sweet dose of intelligence, vigilance, self confidence and egoism.
