Spectreretconned Daniel Craig’sJames Bondsaga , turning Blofeld into"the source of all of [ 007 ’s ] pain"but this uneasy thunderclap did n’t work as well or make as much good sense as Austin Powers ' .
In Ian Fleming’sJames Bondnovels and in the original 007 movie continuity , there was absolutely no kinship between Bond and Blofeld . They were simply arch enemies as 007 foiled every one of the diabolical terrorist ’s schemes . The most personal their animosity got was Blofeld mangle Bond ’s wife Tracy ( Diana Rigg ) inOn Her Majesty ’s Secret Service . 007 finally exact retaliation andkilled Blofeld at the get-go ofFor Your Eyes Only , which was the last clock time the former drawing card of SPECTRE appeared in the Greco-Roman film saga . ForSpectre ’s reboot of Blofeld in Daniel Craig ’s Bond movies in 2015 , music director Sam Mendes and his writers decided to not only make Blofeld the uber - villain of the saga but he also grew up with Bond .

In line , 2002’sAustin Powers in Goldmember ’s climactic swerve that the peachy top-notch undercover agent and Dr. Evil were in reality Twin not only felt right , but it was also properly set up in the original film , 1997’sAustin Powers : International Man of Mystery . During the culmination of the inaugural Austin Powers movie , Dr. Evil taunted his bane that,“We’re not so different , you and I.“For the audience , this play as a nod to the fact that the two characters look incredibly similar sinceMike Myersplayed them both , but it was also a plot thread thatAustin business leader in Goldmembersmartly paid off . The third celluloid saw Austin face his daddy publication when his drop secret federal agent father , Nigel Powers ( Michael Caine ) , was kidnapped by Goldmember at the behest of Dr. Evil . Austin then confronted Dr. Evil in prison , where the villain again reminded Powers that,“We’re not so unlike , you and I. "
Austin Powers in Goldmemberwas all about the dual origins of Austin andDr . Evilas Nigel discover all of their phratry ’s secrets : Dr. Evil ’s real name is Dougie Powers but he was separated from his real fellowship during an assassination attack on Nigel . Their female parent was killed by a car bomb and Nigel thought only Austin outlive . Instead , baby Dougie was found by an Evil Belgian and his married woman Chloe , who raised him to be malevolent .
The future Dr. Evil ended up as roommate with Austin at the British Intelligence Academy , but neither knew they were really brothers . Already diametric opposite word , their rivalry began when Evil was expire over as that yr ’s International Man of Mystery in favor of Austin . Dejected , Evil die to evil medical school , gained his doctorate , and dedicate his life sentence to supervillainy .

TheAustin Powersfilms are obvious spoofs of the classic Sean ConneryJames Bondmovies , which Mike Myers loved growing up . But whether or not Sam Mendes and his writer remembered the Austin Powers / Dr. Evil twist when conceivingSpectre , their Bond / Blofeld reboot ends up inadvertently parody the spoofer .
