'''Mom''', real name '''Carol''',{{er|6ACV18}} is an elderly woman and the owner and CEO of [[MomCorp]] and its multiple subsidiary companies, such as Mom's Friendly Robot Company. While having the public face of a kind old woman, she is in reality bitter, cold-hearted and evil. She is among the most recurring antagonists of ''[[Futurama]]'', as well as the old [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|love interest]] of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]].

In public Mom appears to be a sweet and motherly old woman. However behind this facade is an evil, bitter and sometimes maniacal woman, who wants to take over the world. She is often abusive to her sons, slapping them regularly and also says that robots made her "sick to my ass" even though her company makes them. Mom was once in love with Hubert Farnsworth but breaking up with him was what caused her to become such a bitter woman.
'''Mom''' is the owner and CEO of [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. Her public face is that of a sweet, motherly old woman, but her personality in private is abrasive, abusive, and bitter.  Her public body is stereotypically motherly - fat and frail, usually in a rocking chair, but in private she takes off her fat-suit and is slim, usually sporting a skintight blue suit and tall black boots.  Her bitterness may have been caused by her failed relationship with [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. They briefly got back together on [[Mother's Day]], but she broke it off when she discovered that, although the Professor's feelings had become genuine, their meeting was a ploy to get the controller to stop the robot rebellion.
It is possible, though highly unlikely, that the Professor is the father of Mom's three sons, [[Walt, Larry and Ignar]]. This is supported by the passing physical reseblance of Ignar and Walt to the Professor, but is contradicted by the dates (Mom's relationship with the professor fell apart over seventy years ago, and her sons seem to be in their late thirties). She did say that the professor was the "only man I ever loved".


She apparently holds the trademark on the words "Mom", "Love" and "Screen Door".

Biography

Little is known of Mom's life before forming MomCorp. A company named "Friendly Robot Company" already existed in 2801, probably later taken over by Mom. However, in 2881 Mom was already constructing the first robots of the first robots, working alongside inventor Hubert J.

In 2927, Mom sent her army (including Farnsworth and Zoidberg) on a yeti-hunting trip to Triton. In 2972, Mom was hired by DOOP to lead the dark matter mining in Vergon 6.

Professor Farnsworth is the father of Igner, the youngest of Mom's three sons, but did not know this for many years until 3009. Her other sons, Walt and Larry, have still questionable paternity, however it's possible that Mom's first husband, Dr. Ogden Wernstrom, is their father. Despite having been married before, Mom has claimed that Professor Farnsworth was "the only man I ever loved".

Mom's Cornwood alternative is Momon, a witch-like being representing her evil personality.

Recent years

Mom and the Professor briefly got back together on "Mother's Day", but she broke it off when she discovered that, although the Professor's feelings had become genuine, their meeting was a ploy to get the controller to stop the robot rebellion. As such, their conflict continued, and continues to this day.

She appears in Bender's Game under the identity "Momon" and eventually becomes a dragon that does battle with Fry, also a dragon.
