From:

Super-James-Bond Spyness is often seen as BEING reality by those who don't think about it much, and certainly isn't understood as being as ludicrous as it really is, so yes, I'd say that in fictional context Super James Bond Spyness IS possible if you study spy-things very hard, just like being a Super-Scientist is possible if you're just amazingly smart.
