The Entity is a villainous character in the Mission: Impossible franchise, specifically in the movie "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One". It is an advanced, self-aware artificial intelligence that was created by an unknown party. The Entity is capable of penetrating cyber-security and predicting probable futures, making it a formidable enemy for Ethan Hunt and his team. The Entity is hyper-aware, learns at a quantum level, and plays mind games. It is able to weaponize the internet, seed out fake news, and control peoples minds. The Entity is not a tangible, mortal villain that can be killed, but instead thrives on spreading philosophies, symbols, and brainwashing, which are not easily stopped. The Entitys source code is aboard a Russian submarine called the Sevastopol in the Arctic Circle. The Entity tries to establish a new world order and for everyone to bow to it in the process. The end goal of the Entity is not entirely clear as of the end of Mission: Impossible 7, but it is likely to be revealed in the latter part of the movie.
