Villains Beginning With 'D'
Dr. Sebastian Caine
Hollow Man film (2000)
Dr. Sebastian Caine, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who works on an invisibility serum for the US military.
Although he works on the serum virtually non-stop, he still finds time to obsess about his ex-girlfriend Linda McKay, another scientist on his team, and the new man in her life Matt Kensington, yet another team member. Caine and his team that also includes their animal vet Sarah Kennedy and Carter Abbey , Frank Chase and Janice Walton eventually do figure out how to get the serum to work on animals, bringing an already invisible Gorilla back to visibility. Afterwards the team eagerly looks forward to getting clearance for clinical trials on humans.
Instead of reporting his success to the military, Caine inexplicably lies to the oversight committee including Dr. Howard Kramer, and decides to test the serum on himself. After some initial difficulties, the procedure is a success. Caine goes through some lab tests and also uses his new ability to fondle Sarah. But when it comes time to bring him back to visibility the reversion fails.
The team constructs a latex mask for Caine to wear around the lab, however, his isolation and effective imprisonment in the lab begins to wear on his patience. Disobeying Carter and his own orders, Caine heads back to his apartment. At his apartment, temptation gets the best of Caine, and he first spies on his neighbor, and then attacks her.
Sebastian is gets continually more jealous that Matt and Linda are together and uses his new hidden identity to course grief around them.
Later he returns to the facility, blocks the elevator codes with all scientists locked inside and proceeds to kill them one by one. Eventually he is left chasing Linda and Matt who have rigged the lab to blow and proceeds to pursue them up an elevator shaft. There is a struggle but as the lab blows the shaft fills with fire and Sebastian falls to his death. The other two escape.
