In the "Despicable Me" franchise, Gru has a varying number of Minions throughout the films. Initially, he is shown to have around 10 to 20 Minions in the first movie, but this number increases in subsequent films, especially in "Despicable Me 2" and "Minions." By the time of "Minions" and "Despicable Me 3," Gru's Minion army is depicted as numbering in the hundreds. However, the exact count is not specified in the films.
Minions
The yellow minions and Dr. Nefario are Gru's helpers.
In 'Despicable Me' the sidekicks to the main protagonist (Gru) are called "Minions". While the minions do not speak english, they do possess names and personalities, and are generally given tasks that Gru needs accomplished, but they are not always successful in their ventures.
No, Gru did not create the Minions. They are a species that existed long before he was born. The Minions have a long history of serving various masters throughout time, and they eventually come to serve Gru in the "Despicable Me" franchise. Their quirky personalities and loyalty to Gru make them beloved characters in the series.
They're made from a single mutated DNA (yellow cells) and they can reproduce quickly (as well) from a short movie mini movie called orientation day from the DVD Despicable Me. And they can be used as glow sticks too.

Apparently, he provided the voice for one of Gru's minions ("Jerry")... I did not catch this at any point while watching the film :(
The following super villains have minions: Gru from Despicable Me, Jafar from Aladdin, Scar from The Lion King, Mother Gothel from Tangled, Lots-O-Huggin' Bear from Toy Story 3.
Gru: We stole the Statue of Liberty! (the minions cheer) Gru: ...the small one, from Las Vegas! (the cheers stop) Gru: I won't even mention the Eiffel Tower... also Vegas. ~ Gru: Hello, Fred. Your dog has been leaving little bombs in my yard, and I do not appreciate it. Fred McDade, neighbor: Oh you know dogs... they go where they want to go. Gru: Except when they're dead. (laughs) Gru: Just kidding! Oh, it's true, though
Well yes! They also serve other purposes like testing Gru's anti-gravity potion, running errands, testing errands, going on missions with Gru, and being a glow stick! Very funny
