"I had a strange dream the other night, I saw myself a hundred years from now, speaking to a man whose father has not yet been born, but who was already wearing a grey beard, and telling him that there are only two things that shall not die: God, who is Good, and I, who am Evil!"
Zenith's not wrong he was robbed, but Rocambole's definitely the only other possible winner--U and Fangora don't have the true scale required, Mabuse doesn't have the panache, Lupin's lacking both. The whole thing, though, does nicely as a symphony of crime.
Wait, so we have a supervillainess planning to kill the Pope and a serial killer who's his physical double?
Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Lupin's phoning it in to be fair. Thinking about it now it's possible that Rocambole just bribed the guy holding the envelope.
Mabuse was the standard villain of 1950s crime-movies that I watched reruns of as a child. Sad to see him miss out but you are right.
