Dr. Evil, Austin Powers

His name says it all. Dr. Evil, played by Mike Myers in the Austin Powers films, is a father more likely to kiss his own pinkie than his child's brow. He loves the idea of sharks wearing lasers much more than the idea of his son becoming a veterinarian (unless he's an evil vet, that is). And he once admitted, in a father-son therapy session, that he was trying to kill his son. "But so far unsuccessfully," he noted. "He's quite wily, like his old man." Well, at least that's something to build on in future sessions.
