Larry, Walt and Igner

Mom's three sons, Walt, Larry and Igner, are remarkable by their devotion to their own mother and her business methods. They are the primary henchmen of Mom's business, and they are often sent out on dubious missions. Despite their somewhat comical characteristics, they seem to be quite successful in their tasks, such as stealing Fry's money, even though their scheme was dubious to begin with. Of course, this may also be attributed to Fry's own stupidity.

While fascinated by their mother, she is not above physically abusing them, usually by slapping. Something they understand as a lesson, and do not protest.

Of the three, Walt is the leader type, and occasionally slaps the others, and can deal orders out that their mother gives them. Larry is the shy and slightly scared one, who try to avoid confrontation from Mom by even thanking her for her abuse. The last, Igner, is the stupidest of the three, who is often used by the trio to perform the less appealing tasks.

Despite their obvious love for their mother, they were not in favour of her attempt to overthrow humanity, and as a result planned a mission to get Professor Farnsworth back together with Mom.
