Vanessa Powers (nee Kensington) is a British secret agent and the daughter of Louis and Marie Kensington, Austin's former partner.

International Man of Mystery

She is at first disgusted by Austin's teeth and politically incorrect, womanizing sensibilities, but soon warms to his good nature and falls in love with him. At the end of the film, she and Austin get married and are shown nude, with strategically placed props in their honeymoon suite.

The Spy Who Shagged Me

In the second Austin Powers film, after having sex with Austin, Vanessa is quickly revealed as a Fembot after inexplicably malfunctioning and self-destructing. Austin briefly grieves, but quickly gets over it, realizing he's single again.

Notes

• It is higly questioned how Vanessa can be a Fembot, as she has a mother and talks to her on the phone. However, Mrs Kensington may also be a fembot, but this idea is shot down due to the fact that the Fembots were created 30 years later.
• It is speculated, although not confirmed, that Vanessa was at somepoint in the film was replaced with a Fembot doppelganger. However, fans of the films believe that Dr. Evil killed her but this is not seen in the first movie nor in deleted scenes.
