Indiana Jones.

James Bond is the quintessential spy character arch-type. Spies like Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt and all these others are all a part of that arch-type that he is. Archer and Austin Powers are just comedy versions of the arch-type.

Unlike Superman, who is an archtypical superhero, the other spy characters that started with Bond don't usually add anything significant to the character.

With Superman vs Goku we had the distinction that Goku came from the opposite side of the world and that he was extremely popular and almost archtypical in his own right (characters like Naruto and Sonic are strongly based on his stories).
