This was the second attempt to create an animated series based on the Bond franchise. Bond screenwriter ] announced in a February 1988 issue of '']'' that he was working to produce an animated James Bond series called ''James Bond vs. S.P.E.C.T.R.E.'', to be produced by an unnamed Dutch company.

He and Sheelagh Smith, his "girlfriend" follow the clues of this mystery, but the information is given to the Commander of the police when James is injured. The Commander gets the credit for solving the case and threatens James if he says anything. | |||
''James Bond Jr.'' was fully sanctioned by, and produced in association with, ] and ], who held the rights to the James Bond property. It was the first attempt to bring the Bond franchise to television since the 1954 live adaptation of ]. Only one season was produced. | |||

Fans of James Bond generally do not consider ''James Bond Jr.'' to be part of official Bond ], especially as it conflicts with the fact that Bond was an only child and that the series featured characters such as ] who had been previously dealt with in the films and/or novels. ], a recurring villain from the ] film era, also made occasional appearances; usually partnered with ] making the two henchmen a comical duo as they tend to bicker a lot, sometimes ] is thrown into the mix for a henchmen interpretation of ]. ] also appears revealing he has a snotty, teenage daughter named "Goldie."

The only other villain from the films to appear in the show, though one that is very loosely based on his film counterpart, is Dr. No, who is depicted as being Asian and having green skin, a common practice at the time in children's media whenever Asian villains are showcased such as Ming the Merciless in '']'' and The Mandarin in the 90's '']'' TV series. Several episode titles parodied the titles of Bond films such as ''Live and Let’s Dance'' and ''Rubies Aren't Forever''. | |||

== Characters == | ||
The main characters consist of James Bond Jr., his friends, several featured members of the Warfield Academy staff, and Trevor Noseworthy IV. They appear in almost every episode of the series. Sometimes only two or three of Jr.'s friends will accompany him on an adventure, leaving the others behind at Warfield to create a B-plot. These plots normally revolve around Trevor's misguided attempts to get James into trouble. | |||
* '''James Bond Jr.''' - the series hero and possibly ]'s nephew. He graduated from Warfield Academy and made lots of friends there (who later aid him in his missions). He also develops a crush on Tracy Milbanks. | |||
* '''Horace 'I.Q.' Boothroyd''' - a scientist at the Academy and one of James' best friends. Very intelligent, quick-witted and highly logical, he is responsible for developing and building the many artifacts and gadgets that help James defeat the many villains in the series (see below) and save the day. The series depicts him as the grandson of Q (James Bond's scientist friend played by ] in the James Bond movies), the original scientist of the Academy. | |||
* '''Tracy Milbanks''' - daughter of the Academy headmaster Bradford Milbanks and the heroine of the series. She helps James Jr. a lot in his missions to save the world and possibly reciprocates her love for him. | |||
* '''Gordon 'Gordo' Leiter''' - he is blonde, big, athletic and the "strong fist" of the group, but also kindly and soft-spoken. Supposedly to be ]'s son, he never backs down when his comrades need a little muscle to solve their problems. | |||
* '''Phoebe Farragut''' - the other heroine of the series, she is like a photographer/journalist. She is blond, short-sized, a little obese and wears thick glasses. Although very smart, she is portrayed as not having I.Q.'s level of intelligence. | |||
* '''Trevor Noseworthy IV''' - the "annoying guy" of the Academy. He comes from a wealthy family, and has an inflated sense of self-importance. He is always attempting some outlandish plan to "unmask" Bond Jr. in order to get him expelled from the Academy, which inevitably backfire leaving him with unpleasant consequences. Being usually coward and frightened of anything, Trevor is voiced in most countries as a "gay"-sounding person. | |||
* '''Bradford Milbanks''' - the headmaster of the Academy and father of Tracy. Although serious and rigid at times, he is a gentle understanding man. | |||
* '''Burton "Buddy" Mitchell''' - the sports coach of the Academy. Strong and athletic, he believes in his students' perseverance and willpower and wants them to be always ready for anything. | |||

=== Villains === | |||
There were numerous villains in the series, most of whom worked for SCUM and made recurring appearances throughout the 65-episode run. Many characters looked nothing like how they did in the movies; for example, Dr No resembles a strange long-haired mutant. The major villains included: | |||
There were numerous villains in the series, most of whom worked for S.C.U.M. and made recurring appearances throughout the 65-episode run. Many characters looked nothing like their movie counterparts. All recurring villains in the show are listed here: | |||

He is depicted wearing a blue suit (whose pants has ankle-short legs) with a red shirt and yellow necktie, clown-like shoes and a flower on his lapel. He is usually a sidekick for the other villains. | |||
** ''']''' (voiced by ]) — A dim-witted villain whose trademark steel teeth destroy almost anything he chews. His clothing not only serves as a small source of comedy for the series but also complements his lack of intelligence. He usually acts as a henchman for higher-ranking S.C.U.M. agents and is often paired with Nick Nack. Unlike his movie counterpart, his lower jaw is also metallic, and he is able to talk clearly. In the novelization "A View to a Thrill", it is explained that he was shot in the mouth during a bank robbery and "to save his life, the doctors had given him a set of metal teeth, and motors for jaw muscles".{{citation needed|date= March 2014}} Appearances include ''The Beginning'', ''Plunder Down Under'', ''Valley of the Hungry Dunes'', ''Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake'', ''No Such Loch'', ''The Inhuman Race'', ''Fountain of Terror'', ''Ship of Terror'', ''Queen's Ransom'', ''Avalanche Run'', ''Barbella's Big Attraction'', ''Invaders from S.C.U.M.'', ''Ol' Man River'', ''Catching the Wave'', ''Between a Rock and a Hard Place'', ''Sherlock IQ'', ''Quantum Diamonds'', ''Rubies Aren't Forever'', ''The Thing in the Ice'', ''Monument to S.C.U.M.'' and ''Northern Lights''. | |||

** '''Dr. Derange''' (voiced by ]) — This ] with long black hair speaks with a French accent and has an insane passion for all kinds of ] materials, mainly ].

*** '''Skullcap''' (voiced by ]) — A top-ranking S.C.U.M. ] who is almost always found working for Dr. Derange. His name is derived from the steel ] encasing the top part of his head. Skullcap is extremely cold and insidious though not particularly cunning. According to the novelization ''The Eiffel Target'', he is Number 17 on Interpol's Most Wanted list and it was Dr. Derange who crafted his metallic dome after being seriously injured in a robbery. The dome also conducts static electricity. Whenever Skullcap scratches his head, it triggers little sparks. Appearances include ''The Eiffel Missile'', ''The Inhuman Race'', ''It's All in the Timing'', ''The Last of the Tooboos'', ''The Emerald Key'', ''Weather or Not'', ''Canine Caper'' and ''Thor's Thunder''. | |||
* '''Goldfinger''' | |||
** ''']''' (voiced by ]) — One of 007's cleverest and most manipulative villains. Whenever there is gold, there is Goldfinger. His schemes are motivated entirely by greed, and he is most often assisted by henchman Odd Job. He was arguably the SCUM villain who was the least altered from his movie counterpart. Appearances include ''Earth Cracker'', ''Cruise to Oblivion'', ''Goldie's Gold Scam'' and ''Killer Asteroid''. | |||
* '''Goldie Finger''' | |||

** ''']''' (voiced by ]) — Much like Jaws and Nick Nack, he is seen working for the other villains, especially Goldfinger. He wears an odd-looking purple ] with red-orange stripes, red and white sneakers, pale green half gloves, a gold necklace bearing the initials OJ, a pale green winter scarf and flying goggles.

Appearances include ''Earth Cracker'', ''Cruise to Oblivion'', ''Far Out West'', ''A Deranged Mind'', ''Goldie's Gold Scam'', ''Between a Rock and a Hard Place'', ''Killer Asteroid'' and ''Garden of Evil''. | |||
* '''Barbella''' | |||
** '''Barbella''' (voiced by ]) — A hot-tempered female bodybuilder, Barbella often exhibits superhuman strength. Cunning and cold, she has loyalty for no-one, least of all S.C.U.M., whom she betrays in one episode by attempting to destroy their international headquarters. Barbella often works with Goldie Finger. Appearances include ''City of Gold,'' ''Barbella's Big Attraction,'' ''Going for the Gold'', ''A Deranged Mind'' and ''Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow''. | |||
* '''Doctor No''' - this one differs in some details from the "real-life" Dr. No: in the animated series he has green skin (because he once fell into a ] tank) and robotic hands. He also has visible ] traces such as a ] accent, ] and ] clothing. | |||
** ''']''' (voiced by ]) — One of 007's most fiendish opponents. The animated version differs a lot from the film '']'', as he has green skin, likely as a result of his defeat at the hands of 007 in the original movie. His accent, costume and mustache have Asiatic themes and many of his schemes involve ]s, samurai swords, and the like. Appearances include ''A Chilling Affair'', ''Valley of the Hungry Dunes'', ''Appointment in Macau'', ''The Sword of Power'', ''Far Out West'', ''Garden of Evil'' and ''No Time to Lose''. | |||
* '''Spoiler''' | |||
** '''Spoiler''' (voiced by ]) — A gravel-voiced S.C.U.M. agent who leads a savage, chain-wielding ]. He has worked for various agents including Baron von Skarin, Dr. Derange, and Dr. No. Appearances include ''Scottish Mist,'' ''No Time to Lose'' and ''Monument to S.C.U.M.'' | |||
* '''Captain Walker D. Plank''' - a stereotypical ] with a talking ] (which uses an ] like his owner). His dark schemes usually have to do with sea: taking control of the seven seas, nabbing patrol ships, stealing sunken treasure and so goes on. Jaws is often seen working with him. | |||
* '''Baron |
** '''Baron Von Skarin''' (voiced by ]) — This wealthy ]n baron is also an international terrorist and firearms smuggler. Von Skarin is cold and cruel but never neglects his elegant appearance. He is often seen reporting directly to Scumlord and is apparently one of his more favored agents. Appearances include ''Live and Let's Dance'', ''Dance of the Toreadors'', ''Scottish Mist'', ''Catching the Wave'', ''Sherlock IQ'', ''Rubies Aren't Forever'' and ''Northern Lights''. | ||
** '''Walker D. Plank''' (voiced by ]) — A ] with a hook hand, ], a peg leg, and a talking parrot that also has an eye-patch and a peg-leg. His schemes are invariably nautical and involve pillage, plunder, and domination of all the oceans in the world. He seemed to be inspired by Karl Stromberg; with one episode showing his plot foiled in a manner akin to ''The Spy Who Loved Me''. Appearances include ''Plunder Down Under'', ''Nothing to Play With'', ''Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake'', ''No Such Loch'', ''Ship of Terror'', ''Queen's Ransom'', ''S.C.U.M. on the Water'', ''Ol' Man River'', ''Danger Train'' and ''Thor's Thunder''. | |||
* '''Madam Misfortune''' - a high-society criminal lady obsessed with jewels and wealth.

* '''Snuffer''' | |||
** '''Ms. Fortune''' (voiced by ]) — A wealthy criminal aristocrat, Ms. Fortune's wealth never prevents her from attempting to acquire more, through highly illegitimate means. She was an original villainess for the series, though her conspiracies to gain financial domination suggest she was a feminine version of Goldfinger. Appearances include ''Fountain of Terror'', ''Mindfield'', ''The Heartbreak Caper'', ''There But For Ms. Fortune'' and ''Danger Train''. | |||
* '''The Chameleon''' - this dangerous criminal has the abiility to be a facial shapeshifter because of small mechanisms implanted under the skin on his face, which control his facial muscles allowing him to change his appearance almost instantly. Cunning and sly, he is a villain to be feared. | |||
*** '''Snuffer''' (voiced by ]) — Ms. Fortune's crooked and deeply unpleasant ] and accomplice. He ends every sentence with 'ma'am', unless he is ordered by Ms. Fortune to wait on her male SCUM allies, in which case he will end a sentence with "sir". Appearances include ''Fountain of Terror'', ''Mindfield'', ''The Heartbreak Caper'', ''There But For Ms. Fortune'' and ''Danger Train''. | |||
* '''Tiara Hotstones''' | |||
** '''The Chameleon''' (voiced by ]) — This dangerous criminal is a facial shapeshifter due to ] mechanisms implanted under the skin on his face. Cunning and sly, he is a villain to be feared. Appearances include ''The Chameleon,'' ''Red Star One'' and ''The Art of Evil''. | |||
* '''Dr. Abaddon''' - once a bloodthirsty murderer, he is now a brilliant evil scientist with a dark sense of power. He has some mechatronic implants in his body - like a robotic eye patch on his right eye that crosses along his head and steel claws permanently attached to his hands. He has several different objectives. Abaddon, despite his murderous tendency, is a very intelligent strategist and a good martial fighter. Like Baron Von Skarin, he doesn't like forming alliances with other villains, and his top henchmen are "The Twins" - two ] barefoot kickboxing girls who love him. "Abaddon" gets his name from the ] word for "The Destroyer". | |||
** '''Tiara Hotstones''' (voiced by ]) — This jewel-loving mercenary shares a rapport with James Bond Jr. Despite being ruthless, she is inclined to pursue only jewels and money rather than power or world domination. Appearances include ''Dance of the Toreadors'', ''Rubies Aren't Forever'' and ''Dutch Treat''. | |||
* '''Maximillion Cortex''' | |||
** '''Maximillion Cortex''' — A diminutive villain with a very large brain. Cortex is very wealthy but is always looking for ways to increase that wealth. Appearances include ''Lamp of Darkness'' and ''Leonardo da Vinci's Vault''. | |||
* '''The Worm''' | |||
*** '''Leftbrain and Rightbrain''' — Cortex's assistants, they are a pair of overweight halfwits whose size and intelligence counter those of their boss. While similar in appearance and completely inseparable, they are not related. Appearances include ''Lamp of Darkness'' and ''Leonardo da Vinci's Vault''. | |||
* '''The Worm''' (voiced by ]) — The only recurring villain in the series not to be associated with S.C.U.M., The Worm is a first-rate terrorist and ] with an intense dislike of sunlight, making most of his plans taking place deep underground.

In the UK, four of the TV episodes were adapted into a young children's series by Buzz Books. Although the plots were basically the same, the books were much shorter and sometimes featured different characters from the TV show. The only villains never to appear in these books were Dr. No and Walker D. Plank. | |||

James Bond Jr. is an American animated television series based on Ian Fleming's James Bond franchise. It follows the adventures of James Bond's nephew, James Bond Jr.
The series debuted in September 1991 and ran 65 episodes before ending in December of the same year. It was the first ever television series produced based on the Bond franchise, and is the only animated adaptation.
Background
This was the second attempt to create an animated series based on the Bond franchise. Bond screenwriter Kevin McClory announced in a February 1988 issue of Variety that he was working to produce an animated James Bond series called James Bond vs. S.P.E.C.T.R.E., to be produced by an unnamed Dutch company. The series never came to fruition.
Eon Productions later began developing what would become James Bond Jr. The show was produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson and MGM Television, and debuted on September 16, 1991, with a total of 65 half-hour episodes produced.
James Bond Jr. was fully sanctioned by, and produced in association with, Danjaq and United Artists, who held the rights to the James Bond property. It was the first attempt to bring the Bond franchise to television since the 1954 live adaptation of Casino Royale. Only one season was produced.
Plot
While attending prep school at Warfield Academy, James Bond Jr, with the help of his friends IQ (the grandson of Q), Gordo Leiter (the son of Felix Leiter) and Tracy Milbanks, fights against the evil terrorist organization S.C.U.M. (Saboteurs and Criminals United in Mayhem), a SPECTRE-like organization. Expanding on his uncle's famous line, James Bond Jr's catchphrase was "Bond, James Bond... Junior."
The show regularly surpasses the Bond movies in terms of fantastical gadgets, while the violence of the Bond series is nowhere in evidence. Jaws, a recurring villain from the films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, made regular appearances, usually partnered with Nick Nack, a villain from The Man with the Golden Gun, the two forming a bickering comical duo. Auric Goldfinger also appears, alongside his assistant, Oddjob, from the Goldfinger film. It is revealed Goldfinger has a teenage daughter named Goldie Finger with equally expensive tastes. The only other villain from the films to appear in the show, though one that is very loosely based on his film counterpart, is Dr. No, who is depicted as being Asian and having green skin, a common practice at the time in children's media whenever Asian villains are showcased such as Ming the Merciless in Defenders of the Earth and The Mandarin in the 90's Iron Man TV series. Several episode titles parodied the titles of Bond films such as Live and Let’s Dance and Rubies Aren't Forever.
Characters
The main characters consist of James Bond Jr., his friends, several featured members of the Warfield Academy staff, and Trevor Noseworthy IV. They appear in almost every episode of the series. Sometimes only two or three of Jr.'s friends will accompany him on an adventure, leaving the others behind at Warfield to create a B-plot. These plots normally revolve around Trevor's misguided attempts to get James into trouble.
Main characters
- James Bond Jr. (voiced by Corey Burton) — The thrill-seeking teenage nephew of MI6 agent James Bond 007, who shares his uncle's penchant for quips and puns. He attends Warfield Academy with friends who aid him in his missions. Romance is occasionally hinted at between Bond and Tracy Milbanks.
- Horace 'I.Q.' Boothroyd III (voiced by Jeff Bennett) — The grandson of Q (007's gadget inventor), he is a scientific genius and one of James' best friends. Quick-witted and highly logical, he is responsible for developing and building the gadgets that help James defeat agents of S.C.U.M. He is mistakenly called "Ike" in the Italian dub of the series.
- Tracy Milbanks (voiced by Mona Marshall) — The daughter of Bradford Milbanks and one of James' closest friends, regularly accompanying him on his missions. Bossy and quick-tempered, Tracy sometimes betrays her feelings for James. Her first name is a reference to 007's late wife, Tracy Bond.
- Gordon "Gordo" Leiter (voiced by Jan Rabson) — The tanned, blonde, athletic "strong fist" among James' friends, Californian Gordo is also kindly and amiable. The son of 007's CIA associate and friend Felix Leiter, he never backs down when his comrades need force to solve their problems.
- Phoebe Farragut (voiced by Susan Silo) — Tracy's best friend and the daughter of a rich businessman. She makes no secret of her crush on James, although the feelings are never reciprocated, paralleling Bond's relationship with Miss Moneypenny in the films.
- Trevor Noseworthy IV (voiced by Simon Templeman) — He comes from a wealthy family, and has an inflated sense of superiority and self-importance. Arrogant, egocentric and spiteful, as well as cowardly and fearful, he constantly plans to get James into trouble, hoping for him to be expelled from Warfield, which inevitably backfires.
- Bradford Milbanks (voiced by Julian Holloway) — An ex-RAF officer and Tracy's father, who now presides over Warfield Academy as the headmaster. Although serious and rigid, he is a fair and accommodating disciplinarian and parent.
- Burton "Buddy" Mitchell (voiced by Brian Stokes Mitchell) — A former FBI agent and associate of 007, now working as Warfield's gym teacher. Strong and intelligent, he serves as James's mentor. Burton knows more about James's adventures than he lets on to the rest of the school's staff, frequently risking his own job by allowing the youngster and his friends to get into danger.
Villains
There were numerous villains in the series, most of whom worked for S.C.U.M. and made recurring appearances throughout the 65-episode run. Many characters looked nothing like their movie counterparts. All recurring villains in the show are listed here:
- S.C.U.M. – Short for Saboteurs and Criminals United in Mayhem, S.C.U.M. is the evil organization that is the main antagonist of the series.
- Scumlord (voiced by Jeff Bennett) — The mysterious leader of S.C.U.M., never seen outside the shadows. Believed by some to be none other than Ernst Stavro Blofeld. He often relays commands to other S.C.U.M. villains via telescreen. Scumlord has a dog named Scuzzball. Key appearances include The Beginning, Location: Danger, Avalanche Run, Barbella's Big Attraction and The Thing in the Ice, although he made many cameo appearances. Scumlord is never seen outside of his surveillance room. He is always sitting in the dark wearing a trench coat, a fedora hat and sunglasses.
- Jaws (voiced by Jan Rabson) — A dim-witted villain whose trademark steel teeth destroy almost anything he chews. His clothing not only serves as a small source of comedy for the series but also complements his lack of intelligence. He usually acts as a henchman for higher-ranking S.C.U.M. agents and is often paired with Nick Nack. Unlike his movie counterpart, his lower jaw is also metallic, and he is able to talk clearly. In the novelization "A View to a Thrill", it is explained that he was shot in the mouth during a bank robbery and "to save his life, the doctors had given him a set of metal teeth, and motors for jaw muscles". Appearances include The Beginning, Plunder Down Under, Valley of the Hungry Dunes, Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake, No Such Loch, The Inhuman Race, Fountain of Terror, Ship of Terror, Queen's Ransom, Avalanche Run, Barbella's Big Attraction, Invaders from S.C.U.M., Ol' Man River, Catching the Wave, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Sherlock IQ, Quantum Diamonds, Rubies Aren't Forever, The Thing in the Ice, Monument to S.C.U.M. and Northern Lights.
- Nick Nack (voiced by Jeff Bennett) — A small henchman with a huge chin, Nick Nack is often the butt of "short jokes" from both James Bond Jr. and his villainous "other half", Jaws. Appearances include Valley of the Hungry Dunes, Cruise to Oblivion, The Inhuman Race, Queen's Ransom, Avalanche Run, Barbella's Big Attraction, Invaders from S.C.U.M., Ol' Man River, Catching the Wave, Sherlock IQ, The Thing in the Ice, Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow, Monument to S.C.U.M. and Northern Lights.
- Dr. Derange (voiced by Julian Holloway) — This mad scientist with long black hair speaks with a French accent and has an insane passion for all kinds of radioactive materials, mainly plutonium. According to the novelization "The Eiffel Target", Derange is part man and part machine making him a cyborg. He is by far the most frequently appearing villain in the series, appearing in at least sixteen episodes. He is also featured in most of the spin-off material. Appearances include The Eiffel Missile, A Race Against Disaster, The Inhuman Race, It's All in the Timing, Fountain of Terror, Deadly Recall, Red Star One, Invaders from S.C.U.M., A Deranged Mind, The Last of the Tooboos, The Emerald Key, Canine Caper, Weather or Not, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Quantum Diamonds and Monument to S.C.U.M.
- Skullcap (voiced by Jan Rabson) — A top-ranking S.C.U.M. assassin who is almost always found working for Dr. Derange. His name is derived from the steel headgear encasing the top part of his head. Skullcap is extremely cold and insidious though not particularly cunning. According to the novelization The Eiffel Target, he is Number 17 on Interpol's Most Wanted list and it was Dr. Derange who crafted his metallic dome after being seriously injured in a robbery. The dome also conducts static electricity. Whenever Skullcap scratches his head, it triggers little sparks. Appearances include The Eiffel Missile, The Inhuman Race, It's All in the Timing, The Last of the Tooboos, The Emerald Key, Weather or Not, Canine Caper and Thor's Thunder.
- Auric Goldfinger (voiced by Jan Rabson) — One of 007's cleverest and most manipulative villains. Whenever there is gold, there is Goldfinger. His schemes are motivated entirely by greed, and he is most often assisted by henchman Odd Job. He was arguably the SCUM villain who was the least altered from his movie counterpart. Appearances include Earth Cracker, Cruise to Oblivion, Goldie's Gold Scam and Killer Asteroid.
- Goldie Finger (voiced by Kath Soucie) — Goldfinger's spoiled and equally crooked daughter, who shares her father's love of gold and his ruthlessness. She often teamed up with Barbella, although she would sometimes aid her father. Appearances include City of Gold, Going for the Gold, Goldie's Gold Scam and Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow.
- Oddjob (voiced by Jeff Bennett) — Much like Jaws and Nick Nack, he is seen working for the other villains, especially Goldfinger. He wears an odd-looking purple jumpsuit with red-orange stripes, red and white sneakers, pale green half gloves, a gold necklace bearing the initials OJ, a pale green winter scarf and flying goggles. His trademark razor-sharp hat is also present, although now it is a miniature top hat instead of a bowler hat. Appearances include Earth Cracker, Cruise to Oblivion, Far Out West, A Deranged Mind, Goldie's Gold Scam, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Killer Asteroid and Garden of Evil.
- Barbella (voiced by Mona Marshall) — A hot-tempered female bodybuilder, Barbella often exhibits superhuman strength. Cunning and cold, she has loyalty for no-one, least of all S.C.U.M., whom she betrays in one episode by attempting to destroy their international headquarters. Barbella often works with Goldie Finger. Appearances include City of Gold, Barbella's Big Attraction, Going for the Gold, A Deranged Mind and Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow.
- Dr. No (voiced by Julian Holloway) — One of 007's most fiendish opponents. The animated version differs a lot from the film Dr. No, as he has green skin, likely as a result of his defeat at the hands of 007 in the original movie. His accent, costume and mustache have Asiatic themes and many of his schemes involve ninjas, samurai swords, and the like. Appearances include A Chilling Affair, Valley of the Hungry Dunes, Appointment in Macau, The Sword of Power, Far Out West, Garden of Evil and No Time to Lose.
- Spoiler (voiced by Michael Gough) — A gravel-voiced S.C.U.M. agent who leads a savage, chain-wielding biker gang. He has worked for various agents including Baron von Skarin, Dr. Derange, and Dr. No. Appearances include Scottish Mist, No Time to Lose and Monument to S.C.U.M.
- Baron Von Skarin (voiced by Julian Holloway) — This wealthy Bavarian baron is also an international terrorist and firearms smuggler. Von Skarin is cold and cruel but never neglects his elegant appearance. He is often seen reporting directly to Scumlord and is apparently one of his more favored agents. Appearances include Live and Let's Dance, Dance of the Toreadors, Scottish Mist, Catching the Wave, Sherlock IQ, Rubies Aren't Forever and Northern Lights.
- Walker D. Plank (voiced by Ed Gilbert) — A pirate with a hook hand, eye-patch, a peg leg, and a talking parrot that also has an eye-patch and a peg-leg. His schemes are invariably nautical and involve pillage, plunder, and domination of all the oceans in the world. He seemed to be inspired by Karl Stromberg; with one episode showing his plot foiled in a manner akin to The Spy Who Loved Me. Appearances include Plunder Down Under, Nothing to Play With, Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake, No Such Loch, Ship of Terror, Queen's Ransom, S.C.U.M. on the Water, Ol' Man River, Danger Train and Thor's Thunder.
- Bilge and Pump — A pair of sinister seafaring sidekicks, often found instigating criminality on behalf of Captain Plank. Appearances include No Such Loch and S.C.U.M. on the Water.
- Ms. Fortune (voiced by Susan Silo) — A wealthy criminal aristocrat, Ms. Fortune's wealth never prevents her from attempting to acquire more, through highly illegitimate means. She was an original villainess for the series, though her conspiracies to gain financial domination suggest she was a feminine version of Goldfinger. Appearances include Fountain of Terror, Mindfield, The Heartbreak Caper, There But For Ms. Fortune and Danger Train.
- Snuffer (voiced by Jan Rabson) — Ms. Fortune's crooked and deeply unpleasant butler and accomplice. He ends every sentence with 'ma'am', unless he is ordered by Ms. Fortune to wait on her male SCUM allies, in which case he will end a sentence with "sir". Appearances include Fountain of Terror, Mindfield, The Heartbreak Caper, There But For Ms. Fortune and Danger Train.
- The Chameleon (voiced by Alan Oppenheimer) — This dangerous criminal is a facial shapeshifter due to nano-technologic mechanisms implanted under the skin on his face. Cunning and sly, he is a villain to be feared. Appearances include The Chameleon, Red Star One and The Art of Evil.
- Tiara Hotstones (voiced by Mona Marshall) — This jewel-loving mercenary shares a rapport with James Bond Jr. Despite being ruthless, she is inclined to pursue only jewels and money rather than power or world domination. Appearances include Dance of the Toreadors, Rubies Aren't Forever and Dutch Treat.
- Maximillion Cortex — A diminutive villain with a very large brain. Cortex is very wealthy but is always looking for ways to increase that wealth. Appearances include Lamp of Darkness and Leonardo da Vinci's Vault.
- Leftbrain and Rightbrain — Cortex's assistants, they are a pair of overweight halfwits whose size and intelligence counter those of their boss. While similar in appearance and completely inseparable, they are not related. Appearances include Lamp of Darkness and Leonardo da Vinci's Vault.
- The Worm (voiced by Jan Rabson) — The only recurring villain in the series not to be associated with S.C.U.M., The Worm is a first-rate terrorist and hypochondriac with an intense dislike of sunlight, making most of his plans taking place deep underground. Appearances include A Worm in the Apple and Pompeii and Circumstance.
Bond girls
In most episodes James Bond Jr. encounters guest women, whom he is often forced to rescue. Following in the 007 tradition, many of their names are based on puns or double entendres, although they are less salacious than the parent series. Some of the more notable include:
- Lotta Dinaro — Daughter of an archaeologist in search of El Dorado. They are both kidnapped by Oddjob and Goldfinger in the episode Earthcracker.
- Lt. Shelley Kaysing — A US Army lieutenant whom the Chameleon attempts to assassinate to further his plan to steal a secret army device in the episode The Chameleon.
- Marcie Beaucoup (voiced by Kath Soucie) — A French spy who encounters James Bond Jr. on a hovercraft. She and Bond are captured by Dr. Derange and Skullcap and must escape from the Eiffel Tower before a missile is launched killing them both in the episode The Eiffel Missile.
- Terri Firma — The daughter of a leading seismologist, she is forced to work for Walker D. Plank and Jaws when her father is kidnapped in the episode Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake.
- Hayley Comet — A student at Warfield whose professor father is kidnapped by agents of S.C.U.M. disguised as aliens from outer space in the episode Invaders from S.C.U.M.
- Wendy Day — A weather forecaster who assists James in preventing Doctor Derange from carrying out his plot to take control of the weather in the episode Weather or Not.
- Sgt. Victoria Province — A mountie whom James befriends in Toronto. She assists him in foiling Baron von Skarin's plan to cut electrical power to the city in the episode Northern Lights.
- Princess Yasmine (voiced by Sheryl Bernstein) — Daughter of the sheikh of Al-Khaline who is taken captive by Dr. No along with her father's water for ransom. She is freed by James Bond Jr. and they both flood the facility, sabotaging Dr. No's operation in the episode Valley of the Hungry Dunes.
