, as well as the cliché of the ultra suave super spy. The general theme of the films is that the arch villain Dr. Evil plots to extort large sums of money from governments or international bodies but is constantly thwarted by Powers, and (to a degree) his own inexperience with life and culture in the 1990s. In ''Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', Austin and Dr. Evil are awakened after being cryogenically frozen for thirty years. Continuing to incorporate cultural elements of the 1960s and 1970s, ''Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'' and ''Austin Powers in Goldmember'' feature time travel as a plot device and deliberately overlook inconsistencies. A proposed fourth film, ''Austin Powers 4'', has reportedly been in development since 2005, but has since been stalled.


Main characters


Austin Powers

* Portrayed by: Mike Myers * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: James Bond and other secret agents Austin Powers is a British secret agent, an "international man of mystery." He works as a fashion photographer by day and a British Intelligence agent by night, and always becomes extremely excited when an attractive woman is working with him or is simply nearby. He is the main

of the series. In all three films, Austin learns of a new plot by Dr. Evil and intervenes to prevent it. His quests to prevent Dr. Evil from carrying out his schemes often involve his meeting various types of people, getting into fights, and getting caught up in wacky situations. He has a new young and sexy female ally in every film (not counting Marie Kensington).


Dr. Evil

* Portrayed by: Mike Myers * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: Ernst Stavro Blofeld Douglas Powers, better known as Dr. Evil, is the incredibly bumbling, as well as extremely dimwitted evil genius and
nemesis In ancient Greek religion, Nemesis, also called Rhamnousia or Rhamnusia ( grc, Ῥαμνουσία, Rhamnousía, the goddess of Rhamnous), was the goddess who personifies retribution, a central concept in the Greek world view. Etymology The n ...

of the series. He is the leader of an evil organization, Virtucon, with many henchmen as his allies. He concocts ridiculous schemes in every film, with Austin attempting to stop him from his doings. However, he never wins, often because his plans are always ridiculously overcomplicated; he is far too stupid to realize how much easier they can be. Other times, it is because something happens that interferes. He resembles Alec Trevalyan/Agent 006 in some ways, as Dr. Evil and Austin Powers were raised as brothers (before the car explosion), much like James Bond and Alec Trevelyan, who were raised at the same orphanage before they were recruited by MI6. Also, Dr. Evil and Austin Powers attended the same spy academy together. Interestingly, the Daniel Craig James Bond films would later reinterpret the character of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (the chief inspiration for Dr. Evil) as a long-lost foster brother figure to Bond, somewhat (likely unintentionally) echoing the Austin Powers/Dr. Evil relationship. Dr. Evil's schemes often include his attempts to take over the world. They sometimes involve threatening to destroy or hurt something in exchange for money; one notable example is when he presented his giant laser to the president of the United States and said he would destroy Washington D.C. and possibly other major cities unless he was paid one hundred billion dollars. Aside from his schemes, Dr. Evil and his son Scott talk to each other, but he is a completely awful father, and Scott is often shown to be far more intelligent than his father. He was originally born Douglas Powers, son of Nigel Powers and twin brother to Austin Powers. He has a son with

A happy-go-lucky man, he is very fond of Austin, saying he is "irresistible to women, deadly to his enemies and a legend in his own time." He and Austin both went to the British Intelligence Academy together at the same time, presumably how they met. Basil often provides Austin with

Vanessa Kensington

* Portrayed by: Elizabeth Hurley * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'' * Based on: Tracy Bond Vanessa Kensington is Austin's partner in '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', and the daughter of Austin's original partner, Marie. A beautiful, determined, intelligent young woman, Austin is heavily attracted to her, and often goes to great lengths to try to get her to sleep with him. She is disgusted by his attempts for much of the film, and continuously resists his temptations, but later grows more attracted to him. At the end of the film, she and Austin marry, and are last seen while on their honeymoon (see '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery''). In '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', she is revealed to be (or to have been replaced by) a Fembot when she tries to kill Austin while they are in their honeymoon

However, she is much more attracted to him than Vanessa initially was, and they fall in love with one another. (See '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me''). Felicity is notable for having slept with Fat Bastard in the line of duty to place a tracking device on him, which at first Austin is unhappy with. However, he eventually forgives her, and they work together to defeat Dr. Evil. She was originally intended to appear in the third film, in a scene that explained what happened to her character, but the scene was cut from the final release.

Number 3

* Portrayed by: Fred SavageAustin Powers in Goldmember cast listing
at the Internet Movie Database. Retrieved 12 September 2011.
* Appears in: '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' Number 3 is a very young agent and mole who works undercover for British Intelligence. He is assigned by his employers to become the assistant of Number 2, Dr. Evil's right-hand man. He manages to successfully get Mini-Me to change sides when Scott Evil takes his place next to Dr. Evil. (See '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'') Despite his talents at his job, he has an enormous black mole on his face that neither Austin nor Dr. Evil can resist pointing out whenever they see him, making him a source of comedy in the film. Coincidentally, he works as a mole and has a mole on his face, of which he is painfully aware.


Nigel Powers

* Portrayed by: Michael Caine, Scott Aukerman (Young) * Appears in: '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: James Bond Nigel Powers is a Master Spy and Austin and Dr. Evil's father. When he took his family on a vacation and stopped to find a restroom, their car exploded, and Nigel returns to see that his wife is dead and that Austin survived, but is very frightened. He assumes "Dougie (Dr. Evil's actual first name is ''Douglas'')" is dead (though he's actually living inside his mother's carcass), and continues to raise Austin. He and his son are very much alike – they both enjoy a jetsetting, playboy lifestyle, and both are incomparable ladies' men. Their relationship is nevertheless strained, as Nigel was absent for much of Austin's childhood, and seems uninterested in having anything more than a casual friendship with his son. During Austin's knighthood, Nigel did not show up to be there for him, and Austin is later seen singing "Daddy Wasn't There" with his band, Ming Tea. He later reveals that he feels neglected by Nigel, who often gives him minimal respect. However, they manage to make up by the end of the film (see '' Austin Powers in Goldmember''). Nigel is also extremely prejudiced against Dutch people, but hypocritically claims that he doesn't tolerate anyone who cannot stand the cultures of other people.


Mrs. Kensington

* Portrayed by: Mimi Rogers * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'' * Based on: Emma Peel Marie Kensington is Austin's original sidekick back in the 1960s, and Vanessa's mother. She had originally tried to help Austin defeat Dr. Evil until he escaped, but the duo unfortunately failed. Having retired years after, her daughter works alongside Austin after he is unfrozen many years later, and she makes a brief appearance while on the phone with her daughter. Like Miss Moneypenny, she vaguely admits to having an attraction to Austin despite being married, but never follows through with it. She does not appear again in the series.


Dr. Evil's allies


Frau Farbissina

* Portrayed by: Mindy Sterling * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: Rosa Klebb Frau Farbissina is Dr. Evil's attack and defense specialist and Scott's mother. She has a heavy German accent. In a running gag throughout the films, her shouting, with the emphasis usually put on the last syllable, causes everyone to flinch. Farbissina and Dr. Evil were lovers at one point in time, but now she identifies herself as a lesbian. She introduces her former lover to Scott when he returns. However, she actually cares about Scott and wants him to be happy, unlike his father. Scott did not know that Farbissina was his biological mother until Scott's next appearance on ''The Jerry Springer Show''. The character is a parody of Rosa Klebb from '' From Russia With Love''.


Number 2

* Portrayed by: Robert Wagner (The younger version of Number 2 is played by Rob Lowe.) * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: Emilio Largo, a henchman to Ernst Stavro Blofeld who is commonly referred to by the codename Number 1 from the James Bond series of novels and films. Number 2 is Dr. Evil's second in command who wears an eyepatch. He and Dr. Evil have known each other for many years, having attended school together. He, however, never liked his boss, constantly being "second best" behind him, and is actually a much better leader than he, always trying to stick to business. Dr. Evil, however, is far too stupid to realize this. In the first film, Number 2 has developed Virtucon, the legitimate front of Evil's empire, into a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the time Dr. Evil is thawed. During the fight between Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, it is interrupted by Number 2 who attempts to betray Dr. Evil by making a deal with Powers. Dr. Evil uses a trap door to eliminate Number 2. In the second film, Number 2 survived the trap door and the base's self-destruction where he now has some burn scars on his face. He is the one who introduces Dr. Evil to his clone Mini-Me. He also reveals that Virtucon has purchased

* Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' Scott Evil is Dr. Evil's grown-up son with Frau Farbissina. Perturbed by the fact that his father was absent for so long, and suddenly decided to show up, Scott constantly refuses Dr. Evil's pleas to bond with him. He is also shown to be far more intelligent than his father, and is almost always able to find an easier way to carry out his father's plans, which often prompts Dr. Evil to argue with him. Scott becomes increasingly evil (even losing his hair in the process) in the third film, and eventually replaces Mini-Me. Mini-Me eventually feels rejected by Dr. Evil and defects to Austin's side. At the end of ''Goldmember'', Scott (now completely bald) swears revenge on Austin and his father, and has taken over his father's criminal empire (see '' Austin Powers in Goldmember''). Scott is also Nigel Powers' grandson and Austin Powers' nephew biologically. Since Mini-Me is a clone of Dr. Evil, that would also make him Scott's father or uncle.


Mini-Me

* Portrayed by: Verne Troyer * Appearances: '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: Nick Nack Mini-Me is a miniature clone that was made of Dr. Evil before he was sent back in time. He is very similar to Dr. Evil except he is one-eighth his size. Mini-Me cannot talk, and often expresses himself with writing. However, he is never afraid to use his middle finger as an insult whenever necessary. Dr. Evil babies Mini-Me, treating him both like a child and a pet. He carries him in a baby carrier strapped to his body at one point, and even later has him on a leash. Mini-Me also enjoys making Scott Evil's life miserable, which makes Dr. Evil have to restrain him. Although he is incredibly small, he is a very strong fighter. Over time, Dr. Evil begins to neglect him as Scott becomes increasingly evil, and Number 3 eventually manages to successfully convince him to defect to Austin's side (see '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'').

Goldmember

* Portrayed by: Mike Myers * Appears in: '' Austin Powers in Goldmember'' * Based on: Auric Goldfinger Johann van der Smut, a.k.a. "Goldmember" is the main antagonist of '' Austin Powers in Goldmember''. He is a rather peculiar and repulsive Dutch man, who wears a completely golden outfit and is the owner of a roller disco club. He teams up with Dr. Evil to kill Austin Powers and to take over the world, but is defeated and arrested by Foxxy Cleopatra. Having lost his genitals in an unfortunate smelting accident, he replaces them with a golden key that activates the "Preparation H" tractor beam. His other peculiarity disgusts both Dr. Evil and Austin alike; he has a habit of peeling off his own skin and then immediately eating it (much to the disgust of everyone else), hence small portions of his skin are seen missing from his body.


Alotta Fagina

* Portrayed by: Fabiana Udenio * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'' * Based on: Pussy Galore (in name), Fiona Volpe ('' Thunderball'') Alotta Fagina is Number 2's girlfriend and secretary. Her name is a parody of Pussy Galore, while her characterization, being Number 2's henchman, is based on Fiona Volpe. Number 2 first introduces Austin to her while they are in the casino, and Austin, as with almost every other female character he encounters, is attracted to her. Later, while Austin and Alotta were in her jacuzzi she successfully manages to seduce and have sex with him, in order to figure out his true identity (Austin introduced himself as " Richie Cunningham" during the

Ivana Humpalot is a tall Russian woman who participates in the photo shoot Austin is taking pictures at in the beginning of the second film. She wears a Russian white fur hat and large white fur coat that goes from neck to ankle. Underneath that is a black nearly see through bodysuit that accentuates her breasts and legs. She wears a heavy amount of make-up and red lipstick. Ivana has a thick heavy Russian accent. At the behest of Austin, he makes her do erotic poses and then silly movements such as act like a lemur. After the shoot, he asks her if she wants to stick around for a bit. She accepts his offer so she can set out what she was sent to do, which is kill him. She and Austin play an erotic game of chess. Ivana seduces Austin by opening her robe to reveal some skin, squeezing her breasts together, taking chess pieces out between her breasts then licking the piece. Austin forwardly asks her if he makes her horny, leaving her speechless. He continues to the point where she seems appalled and doesn't know where to look. She gets up and reveals to him that she was actually sent by Dr. Evil to kill him, but fails to do so when she falls for him and claims he is too sexy and ends up having sex with him, although it does not last long as Austin loses his mojo before she can reach orgasm.

, whom Evil ensures is happy at all times. Mustafa, one of Dr. Evil's henchmen, made a mistake during the unfreezing process, which caused Mr. Bigglesworth to lose all of his hair; he is bald for the rest of the film. Mini-Me has a tiny version of him called "Mini Mr. Bigglesworth" in ''Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me''. The cat also appears as a kitten in flashbacks in the third film.

. His life is spared by Dr. Evil at the start of the first film, but a second mistake also puts his life on the line. While he feels pain like everyone else, he is near-impossible to kill. In the first film, he made a mistake during the unfreezing process and caused Mr. Bigglesworth to lose all of his hair, thereby angering Dr. Evil and prompting his attempt to burn Mustafa alive by sending him down the trap door. However, the flames do not take his life, so Dr. Evil commands his guards to shoot him. Mustafa survives the first shot, but the second one seems to kill him since there's silence afterwards. In the second movie, Austin and Felicity try to interrogate him in 1969 (when he was alive) – aided by the fact that he cannot stand being asked the same question three times in a row – but Mini-Me shoots him in the neck with a blow dart, sending him over the edge of a cliff. A post-credits scene reveals he has survived this, but his legs are broken as he asks any viewers left to fetch the usher.

He is present during one of the most famous scenes of the first Austin Powers movie. When Austin is sitting on a toilet in a stall at the casino restroom, he appears out of a vent above Austin and sneakily tries to strangle him with his charm bracelet. Austin traps him in-between his legs and asks him "Do you work for Number 2?" ("Who does Number 2 work for?" in later pressings of the film). The man in the adjacent stall (who thinks Austin is having trouble defecating) says "You show that turd who's boss!" O'Brien is killed in the situation, having been drowned in the toilet, and his charms are later seen on the restroom floor.


Random Task

* Portrayed by: Joe Son * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'' * Based on: Oddjob Random Task is a Korean assassin. A direct parody of Oddjob from the James Bond film '' Goldfinger'', he throws a shoe instead of a hat. When his shoe-throwing gimmick fails (he uses it to break off the head on a statue in Dr. Evil's lair, but not on a real person), he tries to strangle Austin following the self-destruction of Dr. Evil's lair, but instead Vanessa knocks him out.


Robin Swallows

* Portrayed by: Gia Carides * Appears in: '' Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'' * Based on: Bond girls (name) Robin Swallows (née Spitz) is an employee of Dr. Evil, who Austin encounters during a party in his apartment in 1969. She flirts with Austin while an assassin sneaks up to kill him. When Austin looks in her eyes he sees a man holding a throwing knife and uses Robin to block the attack. However, like Mustafa, she is shown to be incredibly difficult to kill; she is stabbed in the back, shot with an

Her plan to distract Austin while an assassin sneaks up behind him and Austin seeing the assassin reflected in her eyes is a direct reference to the pre-credits opening of Goldfinger, where Bond survives an identical assassination attempt.


Other henchmen

" (name) Mr Osato (character) Mr. Roboto is a Japanese businessman, owner of Roboto Industries. He helps Dr. Evil and Goldmember work on their tractor beam. Earlier in the film, he is seen making an exchange with Fat Bastard, who later tells Austin and Foxxy what he is working on with Dr. Evil and Goldmember. Later, the duo confronts him, and he claims he has no idea what they are talking about, which does not convince them. Later in the film, when the tractor beam is complete, Mr. Roboto asks Dr. Evil for a raise in his paycheck via Japanese custom, but he is instead eaten by sharks without being paid at all. He speaks partially in Japanese with English subtitles, but his office, which mostly contains white furniture washes out part of the meaning of the subtitles. Austin is offended at the suggestion he might have said "Please eat some shit," and "I have a huge rod" when he actually said "Please eat some shitake mushrooms," and "I have a huge rodent problem." Austin contradicts his earlier confusion by speaking a phrase of his own in Japanese: "I DO have a huge rod...I wish."
