Morbo the Annihillator is an alien working as a reporter on Earth. He and Linda co-host several shows on Channel √2, most prominently, the news. A violent alien and a good friend of Richard Nixon's head, he is also obsessed with taking over Earth, mentioning it in almost every appearance. Apparently, he is the scout of an impending alien invasion, although it is possible that his evil is just an act used to increase ratings. He always refers to himself in the third person, and his exposed torso is terrifying beyond imagination.
