I'm trying to think of  Captain Ersatzes in the Bond films and books, ie characters clearly based on other non-Bond fictional characters.

Fu Manchu - Dr. No

Captain Nemo - Stromberg.

Hercule Poirot - Achille Aubergine in AVTAK.

Robur the Conqueror - Drax.

 

Any others?

Hinx -- Jack and the Beanstalk...he's a big fella...

following your format, he'd be the Giant from JATB, that is

No, but he doesn't have the same modus operandi.

The others have all other similarities per origin, plan, etc.

Blofeld has something of Moriarty to him in the way he is a hidden figure who runs a vast criminal empire - the spider in the centre of the web.

I've heard comparisons between Sheriff JW Pepper and the character played by Rod Steiger in In The Heat of The Night. Not really a historical archetype, though....

No, I'm not looking for archetypes.

Modern cultural ones I'm looking for especially.
