007? What does that mean.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

007 is a fictional framework for naming British secret agents. In various explanations, the "00" label is for:

--killing someone in cold blood in the course of an assignment
--prior record of a kill
--a license to kill

Real spies used their real names to their chain of command. For secrecy, they may have been referred to by their service number or by codenames.

The double-0 agents from novels and film:

002 Bill Fairbanks (Thunderball)
003 Jason Walters (Thunderball)
003 Jack Mason (A View to a Kill)
004 unnamed (Thunderball)
005 unnamed (Thunderball)
006 unnamed (Thunderball)
006 Alec Trevelyan (GoldenEye)
007 James Bond
008 unnamed (Thunderball, Goldfinger, The Living Daylights)
009 Peter Smith (Thunderball, Octopussy, The World Is Not Enough)
0012 Sam Johnston (The World Is Not Enough)

There are others who've been alluded to in novels and films. Also, more mentioned in comics, unrelated movies.

It's never clear how many there are and who has seniority (if any).

"007" refers to the identifying code number for the Secret Intelligence Service ("SIS") agent, James Bond.

From the source...

Commander James Bond, CMG, RNVR is a fictional character created by novelist Ian Fleming in 1952. He is the protagonist of the James Bond series of novels, films, comics and video games. He is portrayed as an SIS agent residing in London. From 1995 onwards, SIS would be officially acknowledged as MI6.

Bond holds the code number 007, except for the novel You Only Live Twice, where he temporarily becomes "7777". The "double-0" prefix indicates his discretionary licence to kill in the performance of his duties.
