Daddy Warbucks

Daddy Warbucks is a supervillain (nonfiction) who seeks out and invests in cost-effective ways to destroy all creation.

He is bald (nonfiction).

Missed opportunities

Warbucks frequently misses opportunities to reach his goals, due to penny-pinching (nonfiction).

Enemies

Daddy Warbucks has made a great many enemies over the centuries.

The Eel

Warbucks has evidence that his financial empire is plagued by millions of tiny robberies, day after day, hour after hour -- it would be computational folly to demand an accurate accounting.

The total loss amounts to pennies, but Warbucks made is fortune literally pinching pennies, and in his later years his stinginess has grown to magisterial proportions.

Warbucks can't prove that The Eel is behind the robberies.

But he knows it, much in the same way that he knows that the Kentucky Bluegrass on his mighty Lawn will wither and die if he fails to keep a close eye on it by night.

Furthermore, The Eel covets wealth, a quality that Warbucks finds repellent: to acquire is good, to possess is good, but to covet wastes computational resources (nonfiction).

Euphoriolanus

Euphoriolanus dissipates himself in extreme pleasures at any price. "Repellent" is too kind a word, according to Warbucks (source needed).

Sadly, he is Warbucks' nephew, and so cannot be killed out of hand, but must be accepted as one of those family burdens which a family man must bear.
