I thought of him as soon as I posted, but while he does arrest some Team Galactic people and observe them, does he exhibit many of the trademarks of the genre? He does not strike me as a womanizer, lacks any cool gadgets (to the point that he is impressed by the Poketch), and lets a kid save the world instead of manning up and doing it himself. He might be a useful starting point, but if I were going to place him in a James Bond context, he would be one of 007's government liasons, like the CIA or KGB agents that he works with. Important to the plot, perhaps, but not the leading man.
