**Alexander Minion** is the main antagonist of the 2001 live-action film *Spy Kids*, which is also the first film in the *Spy Kids* franchise. He was at first posing as Fegan Floop's personal assistant, but is in reality just using him to complete the steps necessary for his own personal scheme of world domination and betrays him once he has no more use for him.

He was portrayed by Tony Shalhoub.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He was the mastermind behind the ideas that Floop would use like kidnapping several OSS agents and turning them into mutants that Floop would use as characters for his TV show called Flooglies and the robot copies of children all across the world.
* After Ms. Gradenko and her minions (no pun or irony intended) failed to capture Carmen and Juni and get the Third Brain, Minion sends the robot copies he made of them after them, which results in them almost effortlessly defeating the 2 and successfully stealing the Third Brain and bringing it to Alexander Minion who then instantly uses it to make the robots smarter for his take-over-the-world scheme. The robots would prove themselves a bit difficult to defeat even later on when they encounter Carmen and Juni again, with them having to rely on Electroshock Bubble Gum to briefly fight them back and trapping them in instant cement, which the would even then quickly break out of prompting them to have to escape them in order to continue trying to save the day, further highlighting Minion's genius.
* He effectively manipulates Floop and plays him like a fiddle, tricking him into thinking that he is his assistant who seeks to help him out with his goals for his TV show when in reality he is just using him as the cover for his schemes for his own personal goals for world domination and once he gets the Third Brain, he drops the act and reveals his true colors to him before having him be locked in the Virtual Cell by two of his robots before preparing his robot army.
* After the Cortez family manages to capture him with Floop on their side, Minion pretends to be afraid of being mutated by them, saying "You couldn't possibly" when Gregorio held up the button needed to be pressed in order to transform one into a mutant with Gregorio placing it in his hand and pushing the button with Minion's hand without releasing it in an attempt to trap him there before leaving the room and once they do, Minion without hesitation releases the button, allowing himself to be transformed into a mutant to escape the chair he was strapped in, tricking them in a way, before meeting up again with Mr. Lisp and revealing his robot army to him as the Cortez family confronts them.
* He ends up redeeming himself in the sequels, joining Floop and the Cortez' side and no longer being evil.

## What Makes Him A Baddie?

* He masterminded the scheme behind kidnapping several OSS agents and turning them into mutants with Floop using them as characters for his show against their will.
* He sends the robot copies of Juni and Carmen to assault them and steal the Third Brain from them.
* He proceeds to betray Floop once he gets the Third Brain by having him be held captive by two of the robot children and imprisoned in the virtual cell.
* He was going to send his army of robot children across the world to take it over to achieve his plans of world domination with Mr. Lisp.
* He turns Gregorio Cortez into a mutant himself just for fun.
* He allowed Mr. Lisp to order the robot children to try to kill the Cortez family though due to Floop hacking them, they would end up attacking him, Alexander Minion, and the other villains themselves.

## Trivia

* He is the only villain from the Spy Kids franchise to be a Magnificent Baddie.
