I think he is a genius.
I am guessing, but am sure Mike would have preferred to have grown-up in England. He has all the symptoms.
For example:
1) Ridicules the Irish (I’m a leprechaun – scares Garth in Wayne’s World)
2) Laughs at the Dutch ( Goldmember refers to Michael Caine as Austin’s “Fartha” and offers Austin a “Sshmoke and a pancake”
Goldmember: Dr. Evil, we still have the ultimate insurance policy. May I present to you, the very sexual, the very toite, Austin Power's fahza.
Dr. Evil: His what?
Number 2: His fahza, Dr. Evil.
Dr. Evil: His farger? What's a farger?
Goldmember: His fahza. You know, the fahza.
Dr. Evil: You know Goldmember, I don't speak freaky-deaky Dutch. Okay, perv boy?
Goldmember: Fahza, his dad, dad is fahza.
Dr. Evil: Oh, his dad. His *fa-ther*
3) Tempts Liz Hurley with his “ fish & tackle” on the psychedelic ‘60’s jet
4) Invented another Irishman:
Paddy O'Brien: What? Why does everyone always laugh when I say that? They *are* after me lucky charms! What!
Frau Farbissina: It's a television commercial. With this cartoon leprechaun, and all of these children are trying to chase him, "Hey, leprechaun, leprechaun man, we want to get your lucky charms." Oh! And there are these little tiny pieces of marshmallow just stuck right in the cereal. So when the kids eat them they think, "Oooh this is candy, I'm having fun!"
5) Plays a hero – very English
6) Mike recreates a character Austin Powers which mimics an English spy - Mr. James Bond. James (Austin) flies around in a psychedelic ‘60’s jet
7) Austin has bad teeth – very English
8) He even, apparently, woos his partner (in real life) with an English accent.
