James Bond

[FunKay the Inevitable]

James Bond

One of popular culture’s most distinctive and well recognised characters is a man that is a smooth, seductive, super spy with a passion for a good martini (shaken of course, not stirred). Accompanied by an arsenal of weapons that’s helped him kill some of the world’s most dangerous super criminals, I refer to none-other than Bond. James Bond.

Debuting in Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, James Bond was the super spy answer for Sherlock Holmes; a genre defining character with British charm and sturdiness. Using his cunning intelligence, Bond was every man’s greatest friend and yet his deadliest enemy, spying on the world’s greatest villains and keeping in touch with it’s greatest minds too.

A man designed to bring a touch of class to an otherwise dreary dank world of paranoia and secretiveness, Bond brought flare and grandiose to the spy business, but never dodged a job. Whether it was overcoming the dastardly Goldfinger or stopping the plots of the infamous Blofeld, Bond’s done it all and seen it all; and usually left a mess for MI6 to clean up.

Bond is known for his style as well as his killing nature, but that’s not to say he isn’t a deadly assassin. Whether he is in the finest three-piece-suit or in his raggedy old underpants, 007 has saved the world from disaster on numerous occasions. Bond is an international superstar and has helped prevent the crippling of the world oh so many times.

Abilities:
• Secret Service Training: The most skilled spy in all the world, Bond no doubt is a highly skilled, well taught individual. Drilled by some of the best, Bond has shown his talents as a black-ops agent, a member of the military (navy no less) and has displayed general spy skills required to make it through the treacherous world of spying
• Combat Training: While the details of the training are secret, we are well aware Bond is skilled in many forms of combat. From karate to basic fist-fights, Bond has shown some degree of skill in them all.
• Seduction: How many of you have thought of sleeping with James Bond? Admit it, you have. And why not, Bond is the ultimate love-maker. He’s slept with broads from here to Timbuktu and back again. A true ladies man in every way.

Assets:
• MI6’s Weapons Arsenal: James Bond knows his way round a pistol, a machine gun, an axe and pretty much any weapon that’s every been invented. And no wonder as MI6 afford him the whole damn thing. At his disposal lies perhaps one of the greatest weapons storages in history.
• Q’s Inventions: Revolving number plates, death pens and hidden microphones are all a part of the infamous Q’s workshop, and Bond has free roam of the damn thing. Picking and choosing what he needs and what he likes, Bond has some of the great gadgets ever designed ready and waiting for use.
• A Seemingly Endless Supply of Super Cars: For the quintessential super spy there must also be an army of super cars. Slick in design and normally chock full of the after mentioned Q’s gadgets, Bond normally totals his car before his missions over, but that’s not to say it can’t be a handy tool.
