Al Gore's head

Species: Human

Planet of Origin: Earth

Age: 52 or 1055

Voiced By: Vice President Al Gore

First Appearance: "Anthology of Interest I" (2ACV16)

In the 20th Century
Al Gore is leader of the Vice Presidential Action Rangers. Other members include Stephen Hawking, Nichelle Nichols, Gary Gygax, and Deep Blue. It is their duty to protect the fabric of the universe against destructions. Since there is a space-time nexus at the point where Fry is frozen, it makes sense that Fry not getting frozen could start a reaction that could destroy the universe. Thus, in a what-if scenario, Al Gore and his Action Rangers must ensure that Fry is indeed frozen and sent to the future. Fry, however, not wanting to go to the future (after having seen "monsters" in a Fry-hole), destroys the freezer tube, and the universe disappears shortly thereafter.

In the 31st Century
Al Gore survives in the 31st century as a head in a jar. He is emperor of the moon (and claims to have ridden the mighty moon worm), and has written at least two books. As a prominent environmentalist, he is asked to speak at a symposium, which is meant to solve the problem of global warming.
