Biography[]

Felony O'Toole was a S.C.U.M. agent operating in Southern California. She was responsible for the theft of the U.S. Galaxy Defence System during transit to its home base and, realizing that nobody in the organisation was capable of programming it, she organised the capture of the world's leading computer expert, Professor Braintrust. Taking advantage of the scientist's love of the popular Spy Man film series, O'Toole replaced the film's lead actor (Neville Geniue) with a disguised subordinate and invited Braintrust to tour the studio. Despite successfully abducting the professor, her scheme was unravelled by the intervention of James Bond Jr., who chased the villains, Genue's kidnapped daughter, and their unwitting scientific abductee around the studio complex.

In a bid to escape from her pursuers, O'Toole persuaded the gullible Braintrust to reprogram an enormous animatronic lizard robot. With James and his friends preoccupied by the robot, the villains fled from the studios with their captives. At the urging of S.C.U.M. Lord, Felony attempted to dispose of Geniue and his meddling daughter by tying them to both to the rocket-attached "H" of the famous "Hollywood" sign. However, she was ultimately thwarted by the arrival of Bond and his friends in a movie stunt helicopter. As Bond rescued the father and daughter, his companions used the helicopter's electro-magnet attachment to lift O'Toole's speeding car from the road; tossing her and her accomplice out and into nearby water. Her fate is unknown.
