Film bio

Dr. No is a brilliant scientist, a self-described "unwanted child of a German missionary, and a Chinese girl of a good family." He later "became treasurer of the most powerful criminal society in China," in this case, the Tongs. He then "escaped to America with $10,000,000" of Tong gold bullion. He specialized in atomic energy, which cost him both of his hands, which were replaced with crude bionic ones that were made out of either iron or steel. Dr. No's metal hands apparently had great strength (he could crush a stone figurine into powder), but were seriously lacking in manual dexterity. He also has an implied Napoleon complex. A missionary is a propagator of religion, often an evangelist or other representative of a religious community who works among those outside of that community. ...

He offered his skills and expertise to the Americans, but was rejected. To get revenge, No joined the villainous organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E., and relocated to his island in Crab Key, Jamaica.

S.P.E.C.T.R.E.s leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld The SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion (S.P.E.C.T.R.E.) is a fictional terrorist organization led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. ...


Dr. No, in an effort to cause trouble for the Americans, used his secret underground island base as a headquarters from which he would sabotage U.S. missiles by disabling their guidance systems and destroying them. Dr. No accomplished this with a powerful radio transmission, powered by an atomic energy reactor within his base.


No was killed after a hand-to-hand fight with Bond on a descending platform in the heart of No's nuclear reactor. Bond managed to knock No down and escape the lift before it plunged into the reactor's cooling vat. No, on the other hand, was unable to grip the framework of the lift due to his crude metal hands, and thus sank into the boiling, radioactive water to his death.

Novel bio

Although the film and novel are similar in plot, the backgrounds for Julius No are almost entirely different. Born in Peking, he was the son of a German Methodist missionary and a Chinese girl, but was raised by his Aunt. When older, he went to Shanghai, where he became involved with the Tongs, a Chinese crime syndicate. Later he was smuggled to the United States and settled in New York City, where he became a clerk and eventually Treasurer for a Tong in America, called the "Hip-Sings." // Plot in literature, theater, movies According to Aristotles Poetics, a plot in literature is the arrangement of incidents that (ideally) each follow plausibly from the other. ...

In the late 1920s, a mob war broke out in New York, forcing the police to crack down on them. No stole a million dollars in gold from the Tong and disappeared. But the Tongs tracked him down and tortured him to find the location of the gold. When No did not tell them, the Tongs cut off his hands, shot him through the heart and left him for dead. No, who had a condition called dextrocardia in which his heart was on the right side of the body, survived, however.

No spent a long time in hospital, then enrolled in medical school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is unclear if he completed his studies, but he adopted the title of Doctor and changed his name (his birth name is unknown) to Julius No, symbolic of his rejecton of his father, whose given name was Julius. Using his million dollars, No purchased the island of Crab Key, off the coast of Jamaica, where he re-started a defunct guano business.

No, with aid from the Soviets, sabotaged nearby American missile tests by jamming their signals and making them land and explode on a different target than that planned.

Bond did not actually learn of No's devious plot until after infiltrating Crab Key with Quarrel, where he was captured. With the help of Honeychile Rider, who also trespassed to find exclusive shells, Bond killed Dr. No by burying him under a heap of guano whilst operating a crane.

Other appearances

Dr. No made several appearances in the James Bond Junior cartoon, his Asian heritage stereotyped to extreme levels. His skin, however, was rendered bright green - perhaps a callback to his seeming death by radioactivity, but also not an uncommon treatment for Asian villains to receive in animation at the time; the verdant fate was shared by Ming the Merciless in Defenders of the Earth and the Mandarin in Iron Man.

He was electrocuted by his own reactor in a fight with the rogue 00 agent, "Goldeneye". In the game, he was voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.
