Boris Badenov ''(Борис Баденов)'' is a fictional character in the 1960s animated cartoons ''Rocky and His Friends'' and ''The Bullwinkle Show'', collectively referred to as ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' for short. He is voiced by Paul Frees.〔(Boris Badenov (Character) ), from "Rocky and His Friends" (1959), IMDb.com〕 Badenov's name is a play on that of the 16th-century Russian Tsar Boris Godunov ("bad enough" vs. "good enough"). His accent and explosive temper are an homage to Hollywood actor Akim Tamiroff, especially Tamiroff's role in ''The Great McGinty'', a 1940 movie directed by Preston Sturges. == Character overview == Boris is a spy for the fictional nation of Pottsylvania, and takes orders from the nation's leader, Fearless Leader (and occasionally the rarely seen Mr. Big). Boris's missions range from trying to steal a secret rocket fuel formula to eliminating all television from the United States as part of Pottsylvania's various attempts to seize power. Boris, who is thoroughly dedicated to (and takes delight in) all manners of nefarious deeds, would also sometimes engage in his own schemes, such as starting his own organized crime gang. Separately from the television series, a commercial for the ''Rocky and Bullwinkle Show'' featuring Boris established that he was an active member of Local 12 of the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxtQ0S8Cy8E〕 During this commercial, Boris also claims to be "the world's greatest no-goodnik." Boris is also quite proud of the fact that the nicest thing Fearless Leader ever did for him was sending a picture of himself to Boris inscribed "Drop Dead — Fearless Leader". According to the Rialto Theater's "Moosebill" for "Downhill: The Musical" (a special table of contents insert created for the DVD box set ''Rocky and Bullwinkle & Friends, The Third Season''), Boris was educated in the Pottsylvania public schools before taking a scoundrelship to U.S.C. (the University of Safecracking), from which he graduated magna cum louse. He has a cast-iron stomach; and because of it was one of only three survivors of the ruling clique of Pottsylvania, the other two being his superiors Fearless Leader and Mister Big. Boris enjoys light reading; his favorite book is an anthology of fiendish plans called the ''Fireside Crook Book''. He is also a charter member of the Van Gogh Society, a Pottsylvanian club whose members collect human ears. Early in the series, Boris was taller and had red eyes. After the first episodes, he changed to his normal height, but still retained the red eyes until a few episodes afterwards. Humorously, they changed from red to white after he had woken up from a long slumber, as if the redness was caused by sleep deprivation. Boris is nearly always accompanied by his fellow spy, Natasha Fatale. The first time he appeared without her was in the story arc, "Buried Treasure." The first story arc where neither appeared was "The Three Moosketeers." Usually, Boris's misdeeds are thwarted by Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. Boris's attempts at killing "moose and squirrel" (as he refers to them) also always end in failure, usually by his own scheme backfiring on him. As Boris expresses his plight in one promo: "I send in lady spy with package which is really bomb. Door gets locked, she can't get out, who gets blown up? Me!" Boris appeared in all but three ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' storylines: ''The Three Moosketeers'', ''The Ruby Yacht'', and ''Mucho Loma''. Boris often appeared in segments of ''Bullwinkle's Corner'', ''Mr. Know-It-All'', and ''Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boris Badenov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
