Dr. Evil

Dr. Evil is a fictional character portrayed by Mike Myers in the Austin Powers film series. He is the main antagonist, and Austin Powers' nemesis and secret twin brother. He is a parody of James Bond villains, primarily Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Dr. Evil routinely hatches schemes to terrorize and take over the world, and is usually accompanied by "Number Two", his second-in-command who fronts his evil corporation Virtucon Industries, his personal assistant Frau Farbissina, and his sidekick Mini-Me, a dwarf clone of himself.

His name is a parody of villainous characters with the title "Doctor" who are often portrayed as mad scientists—which includes James Bond villain Dr. Julius No.

American costume maker Pp Morris had also created a long-running character named Dr. Evil in 1959. After an eight-year legal battle, New Line Cinema paid him a settlement in response to a trademark dispute.
