Many of Blofeld's characteristics have become tropes in popular fiction, representing the stock character of the supervillain, with the stroking of his white cat often retained as a parodic allusion to Blofeld's character, as seen in the "Austin Powers" film series with the character of Dr. Evil and his cat Mr. Bigglesworth, or in the cartoons "Inspector Gadget" with the character of Dr. Claw and "Danger Mouse" with the character of
Mr. Wong (fictional detective) 1951. An additional eight stories were published in Collier's but never collected. The Mr. Wong character was featured in a series of films for Monogram Pictures. The first five starred Boris Karloff and were directed by William Nigh. All the films co-starred Grant Withers as Wong's friend, Police Captain Street. Karloff also played the Chinese character Dr. Fu Manchu in "The Mask of Fu Manchu" (1932) and General Wu Yen Fang, in "West of Shanghai" (1937), just prior to the first Mr. Wong movie. There is also a 1935 movie starring Bela Lugosi featuring a title character named Mr. Wong,
