James Bond is the fictional British Secret Service agent from Ian Fleming's series of novels. He is known for his code number, 007, signifying his status as a double-o operative, implying he has killed in the line of duty. James Bond is suave, charismatic, and supremely confident, often seen driving exotic cars and sporting impeccable style. He has a taste for luxury and adventure, and a way with women that is both charming and somewhat misogynistic. As a spy, Bond is skilled in martial arts, marksmanship, and undercover operations, and he exhibits a penchant for risk-taking and a personal code of honor. He is pitted against some of fiction's most nefarious villains and is often assisted by allies such as fellow agent Felix Leiter or the enigmatic Q, the MI6's technical wizard.
