Dr. Evil is a fictional character, played by Mike Myers in the Austin Powers film series. He is the chief villain of the movies, and Austin Powers' nemesis with aspirations of world domination.
He is a parody of any number of James Bond villains, primarily Donald Pleasance's Ernst Stavro Blofeld of SPECTRE. Dr. Evil routinely hatches schemes to terrorize and take over the world, and is typically accompanied by his cat Mr.
Bigglesworth and his side-kick Mini-Me, a dwarf clone of himself. On May 10, 2007, Mike Myers announced that he is developing a 4th film in the Austin Powers universe, which will focus more on the character of Dr. Evil.
According to his own account in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, delivered in a group therapy session with his estranged son Scott, Dr. Evil's upbringing went as follows:
Cause your not quite evil enough. Your semi-evil, your quasi-evil, your the margarine of evil, your the diet coke of evil, just one calorie, not "evil" enough.
