Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Grew Up… in your typical, everyday family. As he describes it: "My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet… When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds – pretty standard, really."

Living... in the late 1990s. He had himself frozen in 1967. It's been a long time, but he's back. It all went according to plan except for one small problem: his right arm was not frozen and is slightly older than the left.

Profession... evil mastermind. He has a plan to hold the world ransom with a powerful laser that can deliver a nuclear warhead to the planet's core unless he gets the money he deserves — one million dollars! Though he may need to adjust for inflation since he’s been frozen for so long.  

Interests... spending time with his son, Scott. Since Dr. Evil was partially frozen for thirty years, he just met Scott for the first time. Dr. Evil informs Scott that he wants him to take over the family business, but he’s appalled when Scott says he really just wants to be a veterinarian or work in a petting zoo. And it wouldn't even be an EVIL petting zoo. Are we sure this is really his son?

Relationship Status… single. He’s too busy being evil to find a romantic partner. Besides, evil and love don’t mix well.

Challenge... achieving world domination despite his nemesis Austin Powers’ attempts to stop him. Dr. Evil has hired the world's deadliest assassins, and yet each of them has failed to kill Powers. That makes Dr. Evil very angry.

Personality... really, really, really evil, of course.
