James Bond is as generically "the best at everything" as you can get.
Whatever the villain is into, golf, fencing, gambling, etc. James Bond will challenge the villain at his hobby and beat him before the action even begins.
Edited to add: But the biggest example is probably Superman, just born super at everything.
- Joeboy 5y agoThat's more a description of 20th century Bond than Craig-era Bond. Contemporary Bond is a traumatized alcoholic who only passes a medical because M fixes his results. IIRC In Casino Royale he crashes his DB5 and is captured by his nemesis, who proceeds to beat his genitals with a knotted rope. That sort of thing doesn't happen to Captain Marvel (or Roger Moore). It's admittedly a while since I've followed anything to do with Superman. I'm imagining he's undergone a similar reinvention, but I admit I'm guessing.
