Characters of Austin Powers
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of fictional character
s from the Austin Powers
series of films.
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 protagonist
of the series.
In every film, Austin learns of a new plot by Dr. Evil and takes action to stop it. His quests to prevent Dr. Evil from carrying out his schemes often involve him 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), which never fails to excite him in some way at some point. (see below)
Douglas Powers, better known as Dr. Evil
, is the incredibly dimwitted arch nemesis
of Austin Powers, and the main antagonist
of the series. He is the leader of an evil organization: Virtucon, with many henchmen as his allies, and comes up with 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.
Dr. Evil's schemes often include his attempts to take over the world. They sometimes include the 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 paid him one hundred billion dollars. Aside from his schemes, he and his son Scott talk to each other, but he is a completely awful father, and Scott is often shown to have a far superior intelligence to him.
Basil Exposition works for British Intelligence as Austin’s controller. 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 gadgets to help him complete his missions, and he is often seen wearing a carnation
, even during his and Austin’s time at the academy.
Basil is a parody of the M
character in the James Bond
franchise. Moreover since, in storytelling, "exposition" is the background information required to understand the current action; Basil's surname is a joke on his principal function in the films, which is to provide Austin and the audience with the necessary exposition.
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 and 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 a Fembot, which Basil claims the ministry knew ahead of time, when she tries to kill Austin while they are in their honeymoon
suite
.
Felicity Shagwell
is a CIA agent who is partnered with Austin Powers when it is discovered that Vanessa is a Fembot and to help Austin get his mojo back. Like Vanessa, she is very beautiful physically, which Austin simply cannot resist being attracted to. 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 does not appear in the third film.
Foxxy Cleopatra
is Austin’s groovy musician
sidekick and former lover in Austin Powers in Goldmember
. She is from the 1970s
, as she has a very large afro
and wears 70s clothing, and uses the word “sugar,” often, only pronouncing it as “sugah” (“You’re under arrest, sugah!”). She and Austin are reunited after eight years when Austin travels back to the 70s, and they work together to stop Dr. Evil
and Goldmember
(see Austin Powers in Goldmember
).
She is one of the two of Austin’s female counterparts who does not seduce him in the film, the other being Marie Kensington.
Her character is inspired by characters played by Pam Grier
and Tamara Dobson
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. She does not appear again in the series.
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, which he is painfully aware of.
Nigel Powers
is 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 (who is actually living inside his mother’s carcass), and continues to raise Austin. (See Nigel Powers
).
He and his son share many similarities, notably they are both working for the government
and become excited by the presence of an attractive woman, but their relationship is not flawless. During Austin’s recent 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 prejudice
d against the Dutch people
and cannot tolerate anyone who cannot stand the cultures of other people.
Commander Gilmour is a commander who works for U.S. Strategic Command He is the one who is first notified of Dr. Evil’s ship that "appears to be in the shape of a Big Boy" by Johnston Ritter, and makes sure to tell the man him to forget about what he saw. He travels to London
, where he meets Austin after his unfreezing, and makes sure someone calls the president about what was seen. There, he briefs Austin on his mission.
General Nicolai Borschevsky is a general working for Russian Intelligence. He is alongside Commander Gilmour when Austin is first briefed about his mission. Austin at first thinks he is mad for working with Russian intelligence, not knowing the Cold War
had ended. Borschevsky only has one line in the film, and does not immediately know who Austin Powers even is, wondering if he worked for British Intelligence. Basil replied saying he worked freelance. He does not appear again in the film.
Frau Farbissina
is Dr. Evil’s attack and defense specialist and Scott’s mother
. She has a heavy German
accent
, and has several catchphrases that are always shouted by her, and emphasis is often put on the last syllable
. (See Frau Farbissina
).
Some of these include the following:
• “SCOTT!”
• “LOWER THE GLOBE!”
• “BEGIN LASER IGNITION!”
• “GO!”
Frau and Dr. Evil were lovers at one point in time. 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.
Frau is a parody of Rosa Klebb
from From Russia With Love
and Irma Bunt from On Her Majesty's Secret Service
.
Mini-Me
is a miniature clone
that was made of Dr. Evil before he was sent back in time. He is completely identical to Dr. Evil except he is “one-eighth in 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 (See Mini-Me
).
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 has him on a leash
later. 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
).
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 him, always trying to stick to business. Dr. Evil, however, is far too stupid to realize this. (See Number 2).
Number 2’s name is a slang term for defecation
. When Austin goes into a bathroom
stall
, Patty O’Brien, the assassin sent to kill him, pops out of a vent
, and Austin traps him in-between his legs, asking him “who does Number 2 work for? (parodying how James Bond
asks his enemy’s henchmen and allies who they work for)” The man in the adjacent stall (played by Tom Arnold
), who thinks Austin is struggling while trying to defecate, tries to give him words of advice, says to him to “show that turd who's boss.”
Scott Evil
is Frau and Dr. Evil’s grungy teenage son. 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, almost always being 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 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 swears revenge
on Austin and his father, and has taken over his father’s criminal empire (see Austin Powers in Goldmember
).
Fat Bastard
is a Scottish
henchman working for Dr. Evil. He is incredibly foul-mouthed, and morbidly obese, weighing one ton; however, he thinks of himself as sexy, which he is heard calling himself, and believes that women find him irresistible.
In the second movie, he infiltrates the British Intelligence as a Scottish piper and steals Austin’s mojo, which is later taken back by his enemies. Later, Felicity Shagwell
sleeps with him in the line of duty to place a tracking device on him. (See Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
).
In the third movie, he is shown to have left Dr. Evil’s employment, and has become a professional sumo wrestler in Japan
. However, he is still doing strange jobs for Dr. Evil. At the end of the film, he is shown to have lost a lot of weight, but has a very large amount of excess skin
.
Johann van der Smut, aka “Goldmember
” is one of the two main antagonists of Austin Powers in Goldmember
. He is a rather peculiar and repulsing Dutch
man wearing a completely gold
en 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 (see Austin Powers in Goldmember
).
Having lost his genitals in a 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 (See Goldmember
and Austin Powers in Goldmember
), hence why small portions of his skin are seen missing from his body.
He is a parody of Auric Goldfinger
from the James Bond franchise.
Alotta Fagina is Number 2’s confidential secretary
. Number 2 first introduces Austin to her while they are in the casino
, and Austin, like almost every other female character he encounters, is attracted to her. Later, she successfully manages to seduce
and have sex with him, in order to figure out his true identity (which Austin stated was Richie Cunningham during the poker
game). She is seen in Dr. Evil’s lair, where she threatens to kill Vanessa Kensington, but is instead Judo chopped by her. It remains unknown whether or not she survived the self destruction of the lair.
Like several other characters, she has a gag name - "a lot of vagina" - a reference to the character "Pussy Galore" in the James Bond
Goldfinger
film, or "Plenty O'Toole" from Diamonds Are Forever
.
Mustafa is one of Dr. Evil’s henchmen; an Arab
who wears a red fez. His life is spared by Dr. Evil at the start of the first film. While he is shown to feel as much pain as anyone else, he is incredibly difficult, if not impossible to kill, as indicated by every attempt at killing him. In the first film, he made a mistake during the unfreezing process and caused Mr. Bigglesworth to lose all of his hair, making Dr. Evil angry, and is burned alive; however, while he comments about it, the flames do not take his life. Dr. Evil even commands his guards to shoot him, which he also comments about, but lives through. In the second movie, Austin and Felicity try to interrogate
him in 1969 - 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
. The closing credits reveal he has survived this as well, but his legs are broken.
Mr. Bigglesworth is Dr. Evil’s pet Persian cat
whom he ensures is happy at all times. Mustafa, one of Dr. Evil’s henchmen, made a mistake during the unfreezing process, and as a result Mr. Bigglesworth loses all of his hair
, being seen 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.
Patty O’Brien is an Irish
henchman and assassin hired by Dr. Evil to kill Austin Powers. After he kills a victim, he leaves a charm from his charm bracelet behind with the body, and calls these pieces his “lucky charms,” which he claims Scotland Yard is after. Frau laughs at this, and explains how it relates to the famous brand of cereal
.
He is present during one of the considerably 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 the vent above Austin’s head and sneakily tries to strangle him with his charm bracelet. Austin traps him in-between his legs and asks him “who does Number 2 work for?” and 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 is a Korean assassin. Being 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 him (he can take the head off of a statue
with it, as demonstrated by him in Dr. Evil's lair, but not off an actual person), he tries to strangle Austin, but is instead killed by him.
Robin Swallows (née Spitz) is an employer of Dr. Evil that encounters Austin in his apartment. She is revealed to be an assassin by Dr. Evil after her death. However, like Mustafa, she is shown to be incredibly difficult to kill; she is shot by a machine gun
, stabbed in the back, blasted with a rocket launcher
, and knocked off the edge of a building, which is shown to only injure her. Dr. Evil later says “two of my assassins are dead” not long later, indicating that she most likely died of her injuries.
Her name is an obvious gag name (her maiden name is Robin Spitz, but her current name is Robin Swallows).
Ivana Humpalot is a stereotypical Russian
woman who is participating in the photo shoot
Austin is taking pictures at in the beginning of the second film. After the shoot, she and Austin play an erotic game of chess
. She was actually sent by Dr. Evil to kill Austin, but fails to do so when she falls for him and claims he is too sexy. This scene is a parody of a scene of The Thomas Crown Affair
.
Her name is a gag name for the phrase “I wanna hump a lot.”
Jurgen, Generallisimo, Don Luigi, and Rita are four henchmen working for Dr. Evil who are present at the very beginning of the first film, along with Frau Farbissina and Mustafa. Because they all failed to kill Austin Powers, Dr. Evil presses the button on his table that causes their chairs to flip back and send them into a pit of fire
, incinerating all four of them, while sparing the lives of Frau and Mustafa.
The Fembots are extremely sexy female robots (their name is an obvious amalgamation of the two words female and robot) with breasts that are cannons. Frau uses them to seduce
and kill Austin. Her plan almost works, but Austin does an overly-exaggerated striptease
in response, which drives them beyond their sex limit and causes their heads to explode.
Vanessa Kensington is revealed to be a Fembot in the beginning of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. A Fembot version of Britney Spears
also makes an appearances in Goldmember, before being destroyed once again by Austin.
The president is the unnamed president of the United States
. In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Dr. Evil uses a closed circuit TV
to communicate with him. He plays him a scene from the film Independence Day
to show him what his laser
can do if he does not hand over one hundred billion dollars, which makes the president and his advisors laugh, as they do not believe that much money even exists. Dr. Evil continues to tell him to show him the money, but he continues to plead that they do not have it. He does not appear again in Goldmember.
Johnson Ritter is a radar
operator who often says a line that leads up to something funny. In the first movie, he is the one who spotted Dr. Evil’s ship and notified Commander Gilmour about it. In the third movie, he sees a similar thing; he is about to quote that it looks like a pair of breasts, but is interrupted by a vendor who shouts "melons" to advertise the melons she has for sale (a play on the slang term for breasts). He appears in all of the movies but only has a few lines in each of them, and what appears on his radar screen is always shown completely clearly.
General Hawk is an advisor
to the president. He is notable for asking the president if he was suggesting that they blow up the moon
, with the president replying “would you miss it?” to him and the other generals who are in the room.
General Hawk is the second character in the series that is portrayed by Charles Napier
, the other one being Commander Gilmour.
General Clark is another general
. In the third film, he is talking to Johnson about a satellite that appears out of orbit. Johnson is about to say it looks like something, but is interrupted by a repeated joke from the second film, this time with breasts instead of a penis and testicles. This part of the movie features a cameo by Ozzy Osbourne
, who claims that it looks like a pair of boobs and points out that the joke was used in the previous film.
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.
His character is a parody of Mr. Osato from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice
, and his name is an ode to the song “Mr. Roboto
” by Styx
.
Gillian Shagwell, Manny Stixsman, Sid Belvedere, and Trevor Aigberth compose Ming Tea
, Austin’s band. In Austin Powers in Goldmember, Austin sings with his band the song “Daddy Wasn’t There” at the Electric Pussycat Swingers Club after Austin’s disappointing knighting, in which his father did not show up for him.
The members of the band play the following instruments:
Two of the band members have gag names:
Cindy Fook “Mi” and Sally Fook “Yu” are two teenage Japanese
twins
. The two of them speak with and flirt with Austin at the beginning of the film while they are at his party, which involves Fook Mi asking for Austin's autograph and Austin replying with things like "do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" and to watch her language (of course not immediately noticing that is her name). Fook Yu is introduced to Austin by her sister after a moment or two.
Their names are gag names for “Fuck me” and the insult “Fuck you”.
Dixie Normous is a woman that Austin meets at the beginning of the third film while he is at the party. A movie entitled Austinpussy was in production, and she is the lead role in it, alongside Tom Cruise
, who is playing Austin. She flirts with Austin for a short time.
Her name is a gag name for “dick’s enormous”.
The Texan is an unnamed man wearing a cowboy hat
who is seen in the first film talking to Austin in the casino restroom. He is in the stall next to the one Austin goes in, and contributes to one of the most famous scenes of the film.
Patty O’Brien pops out of the vent above Austin’s head to attempt to strangle him with his charm bracelet. Austin and O’Brien struggle inside the stall, with many strange noises being made. The Texan can hear every noise being made, but can only see Austin’s feet moving frantically, making him think Austin is having trouble on the toilet. He continuously provides Austin with advice and other helpful hints. At some point, Austin manages to get O’Brien trapped in-between his legs and hold him above the toilet bowl, asking him, “who does Number 2 work for?” The Texan, confused by this, tells him to “show that turd
who’s boss.” When he exits the stall, he sees O’Brien’s dead body, and asks, “Jesus Christ boy! what did you eat?”
Una Brau is Frau Farbissina's love interest in the second film. She and Frau met on the LPGA tour and fell in love. She does not speak, and has a unibrow
, hence her name. In the film's credits, she is credited as Unibrow but it is pronounced as Una Brau in the film's dialogue. Later in the film, when Dr. Evil and Past Frau have sex, she comments that she'll never love another man. Clearly remembering Una Brau, he responds "Yes, that's true".
Mrs. Exposition is Basil's extremely frail and elderly British mother of 92 years. In the first movie, she makes a brief appearance when she comes in from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, where Basil introduces Austin to her. Austin, however, believes her to be a man in disguise (referencing an earlier scene), punching her in the face.

Basil Exposition works for British Intelligence as Austin’s controller. 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 gadgets to help him complete his missions, and he is often seen wearing a carnation
Carnation
Dianthus caryophyllus is a species of Dianthus. It is probably native to the Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 years. It is the wild ancestor of the garden carnation.It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 80 cm tall...
