Mini-Me

"Eeeee!"

- Mini-Me's famous phrase

Mini-Me is a major character in the Austin Powers franchise. He is Austin Powers' best friend and sidekick and Dr. Evil's 1/8th-sized clone.

Mini-Me starts off as the secondary antagonist of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, but joins Austin Powers when Scott becomes evil and becomes a supporting protagonist.

He is portrayed by the late Verne Troyer.

Beginnings
Before Dr. Evil was sent back in time to 1969, his henchmen made him a clone, which was identical in every way, but was "one-eighth his size". Upon being introduced to his clone, Dr. Evil immediately declared, "Breathtaking. I shall call him... Mini-Me."

Personality
Mini-Me was originally designed to be exactly like Dr. Evil in every way, except he was much smarter and stronger (as well as completely mute).

Afterwards, when Scott becomes evil, Mini-Me decides to switch sides and becomes Austin Powers' new best friend and sidekick.

Overall, Mini-Me has proven that despite being a clone of Dr. Evil and originally one of his henchmen, he is truly a good and reliable person at heart.

Trivia

 * Mini-Me has almost no dialogue in the franchise, beyond an occasional frightened "Eeeee!". Otherwise, he is silent, except for when he does his evil laugh with Dr. Evil.
 * At one point, in the second film, when he is dealing with his malfunctioning chair, he briefly makes a noise that sounds like "Hey!".
 * He has a pet named Mini-Mr. Bigglesworth.
 * He is sometimes referred to and treated as a dog or other small objects. Scott refers to him as "that vicious little... chihuahua thing." Austin says, upon Mini-Me being knocked out, "Poor little bugger. He's like a dog or something. Poor little bugger." In the third film's opening scenes, Dr. Evil uses a leash to restrain Mini-Me from attacking Scott, telling him to heel.
 * Mini-Me likes to use the peace gesture when he wants to be friends with someone.
 * If he does not like someone, he will usually flip them off as a means of insulting them (even though he only uses it once during the third film). On most other occasions, he prefers to express himself through written notes.
 * He tends dry hump random things.
 * He also likes to lip-synch the occasional line when Dr. Evil raps.
 * Upon seeing Mini-Me, Nigel says, "Blimey, I thought I smelled cabbage," thinking he is a carny (referring back to a quip from the first Austin Powers movie). Mini-Me is appropriately confused by the remark.
 * When Mini-Me becomes Austin's sidekick, he begins to dress like him. The reason for this is unknown, although it may be as a way to rid himself of Dr. Evil's appearance. However, he eventually stops dressing like this as shown at the end of the third film.
 * It is unknown why Mini-Me is unable to speak.
