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.

Trivia

  • Morbo's head is capable of inflating and deflating, suggesting that it may contain his lungs.
  • There is/was a Futurama animation cell available featuring Morbo's species invading Earth.
  • In several episodes Linda newscasts alone, according to commentaries this is because they leave him out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens.
  • He has been known to sing karaoke; his skills appear rather sub-par, but no one seems to notice.
  • Morbo's appearance is based on the aliens of the movie Invasion of the Saucer Men.
