'''Dr. Ogden Wernstrom''' is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s nemesis and formerly one of his best students at [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]] slightly over 100 years ago. After one fateful pop quiz which Farnsworth graded an A-minus on account of Wernstrom's sloppy handwriting, Wernstrom swore that he would get his revenge even if it took a hundred years. He briefly succeeded in this at the [[Academy of Inventors]] annual symposioum in 3000 when he won the Academy Prize and got to grade Farnsworth's contribution, the [[Smell-O-Scope]] concept, an A-minus-''minus''. However, the Academy Prize was taken away from him again after the events concerning a giant ball of garbage headed straight for [[New New York]] and his revenge was thus foiled, yet he swore he would get Farnsworth for this even if it took another hundred years.

Dr. Ogden Wernstrom is Professor Farnsworth's nemesis and formerly one of his best students at Mars University slightly over 100 years ago. After one fateful pop quiz which Farnsworth graded an A-minus on account of Wernstrom's sloppy handwriting, Wernstrom swore that he would get his revenge even if it took a hundred years. He briefly succeeded in this at the Academy of Inventors annual symposioum in 3000 when he won the Academy Prize and got to grade Farnsworth's contribution, the Smell-O-Scope concept, an A-minus-minus. However, the Academy Prize was taken away from him again after the events concerning a giant ball of garbage headed straight for New New York and his revenge was thus foiled, yet he swore he would get Farnsworth for this even if it took another hundred years.

Dr. Wernstrom is a member of the University Council of Mars University. Among other things, he is manufacturing and constructing Killbots, which brings him into competition with Professor Farnsworth once again: They got into a fist fight at the "Roboticon 3003" over it. He briefly worked for Earth's government during the global warming crisis of 3003 and attempted to kill all robots on Earth with a great electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

Their rivalry appears to have softened over the years, and have even managed to collaborate with one another every once in a while, though they do periodically bicker every now and then. Wernstrom also appears to respect some of Farnsworth's decisions if he himself believes them to be right as well.
