History Fanon / JamesBond

* "James Bond" is a code name that comes with the 007 ranking. This originally started as a joke to "explain" the different actors that have played him. Now it causes debates that can rage for hours, and explanations on how precisely it melds with the films' {{Canon}} extends into [[WMG/JamesBond Wild Mass Guessing]] territory and the reasons why [=MI6=] would bother with such a pointless masquerade.

* Each different incarnation of Bond lives in an AlternateUniverse, with some events such as the death of Tracy happening in most of these universes out of InSpiteOfANail (while Creator/DanielCraig's Bond never had a Tracy at all, he still ended up with a [[TheLostLenore Lost Lenore]]). Also, Bond exists in a different decade in each universe, Bond might have existed solely in TheSixties in one and solely in TheNineties in another, but there will always be a Bond per InSpiteOfANail.

* [[Film/JamesBond 007's]] "[[TheNameIsBondJamesBond Bond, James Bond]]", "[[DrinkOrder Shaken, not stirred]]", and "[[Film/{{Goldfinger}} No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!]]"

** If you ''must'' include Daniel Craig's Bond, there's even a relatively easy solution. [[CaptainObvious Time travel!]]

** Some of the classic characters appeared as unlockable characters in multiplayer modes of video games based on the Creator/PierceBrosnan ''Bond'' movies.

* The other popular explanation for Bond's different appearances? TimeLord. Each incarnation is [[TheNthDoctor a new regeneration]], emphasising some personality traits and downplaying others (How exactly ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' fits in is left as an exercise to the reader. Perhaps he was [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "revisiting some old faces"?]] ). You can even argue that he has a Time Lord-esque title -[[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor, the Master]] and... [[IncrediblyLamePun the Bachelor]]. [[note]]As in academic degrees, if you're not familiar with the terminology.[[/note]]

* Fleming intended for Bond to have died at the ambiguous end of ''From Russia with Love''. His recovery was all off-page, merely stated by M at the beginning of ''Dr. No'' and never touched upon in Bond's internal narration. Here's where the code-name theory hits the books.

* Most of the films are often referred to by their acronyms, i.e. TLD for Film/TheLivingDaylights. More amusingly, this is why Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough is sometimes referred to as Twine.

* PatchworkFic -- Classic!Bond villains and events being referenced/included in Reboot!Bond's backstory. ([[{{Film/GoldenEye}} Alec Trevelyan]] is particularly popular for this).
