Who is revealed as the villainous secret agent in Pixar's Cars 2?

Miles Axlerod is revealed as the villainous secret agent in Pixar's Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil tycoon who converted to electric power and organizes the World Grand Prix. His public image suggests environmental leadership, but the film eventually reveals that he orchestrated the central plot and was secretly responsible for the espionage crisis.

The World Grand Prix uses Allinol, an alternative fuel promoted by Axlerod. A hidden weapon causes cars using the fuel to malfunction, creating international chaos and damaging the reputation of alternative energy. The scheme is designed to make traditional oil appear indispensable again.

Cars 2 deliberately hides Axlerod's identity behind a respectable public role. This can cause confusion with Finn McMissile, the British intelligence agent, or Professor Zündapp, another antagonist who works with Axlerod.
