Powers and Abilities

A glamourous photographer by day, Austin Powers, by night, is secretly an international man of mystery ! While it’s not, hmm, very convincing, he’s supposed to have all of the James Bond skills. You know, all of that super-spy stuff. The Luck advantage and his high amount of HPs allow him to act heroically when needed to advance the plot, but he rarely encounters significant opposition anyway.

Powers has a superhuman, well, power : his “mojo” makes him sexually irresistible and quite fascinating to beautiful women. Saying that he always gets the girl is a major understatement.

History

Is it really important ? Well, Austin Powers, international man of mystery and major achievement of the 60’s Swinging London culture, was one of the top agents of the Crown. In 1967, he was frozen in case the mastermind of evil, the scourge of the free world, Dr. Evil, whom only Powers could defeat, would rise again.

This happened in 1997, and Austin Powers was back in a world that was a far cry from the 60’s. Trying to fit into this new world, the spy most beloved to womankind despite never brushing his teeth was back, baby !

Description

Well, there’s a sparkling photo above this text. And he was played by Mike Myers. Doesn’t that say it all ?

Personality

If you ask this question, that means you really ought to see the movie. Elizabeth Hurley and Heather Graham alone are easily worth the price of admission, anyway.

DC Universe History

I’m *certain* that there’s someone named Powers in the DCU and I*can’t* remember. Asides from Josuah Power. How frustrating. Help ?

He’d make a good JLI character, but Power Girl would throw him in low orbit after about five seconds.
