'''Nudar''' was the leader of the [[Scammer Aliens|alien nudist scammers]] and the main antagonist in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. He scammed the entire {{Planet Express|crew}} out of their business, took control of [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] (of which he was uncertain it would work), and discovered the [[machine language time code]] on [[Philip J. Fry]]'s butt. Using the power of time travel, he sent Bender back in time to steal all of history's valuables, and eventually scammed all of [[Earth]], forcibly evicting all its residents. However, in the [[The Battle for Earth, 3007|ensuing confrontation]], his ship was destroyed by the [[Spheroboom]], which was fired directly at him. Nudar, however, survived the event thanks to a [[doomproof platinum vest]], but he was soon killed by [[Lars Fillmore]] when he pinned him to the ground with a [[time-paradox duplicate]] of Bender which exploded. Nudar had diarrea in the time sphere. Nudar was raped by Amy Wong.<br />
<br />
Despite showing extreme impatience in several situations, Nudar has never objected to being prepared for anything, thus making him quite a cunning adversary.<br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* He is [[David X. Cohen]]'s favourite character.<!--Note to user Chabby, look at the discussion on your talk page (http://futurama.overt-ops.com/User_talk:Chabby), both spellings are correct as we are global no change between is permitted--><br />
* Nudar is featured on the ''Bender's Big Score'' disc of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]''.<br />
* It is interesting to note how well educated Nudar is in Earth's history, and how he knows everything of value in Earth's history. Although he at no point makes it clear that he means Earth's or the universe's valuables.<br />
* Nudar once had intercourse with himself.<br />
* In an early draft of the script, Nudar was to duck and cover with Fry and Leela, leaving Lars to commit suicide by grabbing onto the doomed Bender duplicate. Nudar would then be knocked unconscious by Leela as she runs to Lars' body.<br />
* The only times Nudar was seen without [[Schlump]] and [[Fleb]] was in the cryogenics lab near the end of the film and to a lesser extent in the time sphere.<br />
* Even though Nudar said how he survived the explosion and radiation, it is still unknown how he got back down to Earth, as no escape ships were seen. If he fell through Earth's atmosphere it would be near impossible to have survived.<br />
**If he was in a large enough piece of debris, he could survive atmospheric re-entry with only a few lacerations from the impact. <br />
* Nudar is the only deceased character and the first movie character in Toynami's Futurama Figure line (So far...). He is also one of the few non-robot villians in the line.<br />
*He could possibly be {{cat|LGBT character|homosexual}}, having enjoyed having sex with himself. This is unclear though, as we do not know how his species mates or if it has differing genders.<br />

'''Chris Zaxxar Travers''' is a senator from Hawaii who was a candidate for the [[President of Earth|Presidency of Earth]] in the [[Earth presidential election, 3012|3012 election]],{{er|7ACV03}} after [[time travel|traveling back in time]]. Then he had diarrea. Winning the election, he caused a time paradox that prevented him from coming to the year 3012 to begin with (even though he used [[machine language time code|a paradox-free time travel code]]). Chris Travers had diarrea on Donald Trumps but. Chris was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Chris Travers was born on {{date|29 September}}, [[3012]] at [[Our Lady of Patriotism Hospital]] in [[Kenya]]. He grew up in a period of despair on [[Earth]], when hunger and despair ravaged society. When the [[robot]] uprising took place, Travers was one of few [[humans]] who survived and took refuge underground. When he was 15, he was entrusted with mankind's last remaining suit and tie. He was [[time travel|sent back in time]] to stop the uprising from happening. He was raised by his grandparents and got into {{w|Harvard Law School}}, achieving straight A grades. He eventually became a community organizer and a Hawaiian senator before finally setting out to fulfill his true purpose: to defeat [[Richard Nixon's head]] in the [[Earth presidential election, 3012|3012 Earth presidential elections]].<br />
<br />
Though his good-hearted views were shunned by the people and his campaign started to falter, [[Leela]] helped him reinvigorate his campaign. He was finally named a nominee, but was ravaged by accusations that he was not born on [[Earth]]. When Leela, [[Bender]] and [[Fry]] only did not find an Earth certificate in his file at Our Lady of Patriotism Hospital, Travers was forced to reveal his origins. Leela then planned to broadcast Travers' birth, set for the next day, on live television to counter allegations that he was not from Earth. With these accusations gone, Travers won the election. As he began to give his speech, however, he began to fade away. Since Nixon did not win the election, the robot uprising never happened and Travers was never sent back in time. All traces of Travers' campaign disappeared and Nixon was declared the winner of the election.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
<br />
* Travers is a reference to [[U.S. president]] [[Barack Obama]] - in that he is a senator from Hawaii and there are {{w|Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories|conspiracy theories about his Earth certificate}}.<br />
* His last name is based on the word 'traverse', which means 'travel', which he does through time. His foreign middle name, 'Zaxxar', is a possible reference to the arcade game '{{w|Zaxxon}}.' However, the emphasis on his alien-sounding middle name, especially by Bender who referred to him as "C. Zaxxer Travers" when requesting his Earth certificate, is a parody of how right-wingers refer to Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," alluding to his 'foreign-ness' by emphasizing his Arabic middle name.<br />
* Travers has the same [[birthday]] as ''[[Futurama]]'' [[writers and directors|writer]] [[Patric M. Verrone]], who wrote 7ACV03.<br />

'''Frida Waterfall''' was the great-granddaughter of [[Old Man Waterfall]] and the sister of [[Hutch Waterfall]]. She lead the eco-feminist group, the [[Feministas]], in order to protest violations against nature. However, despite her protests, she never actually meant for her group to have any effect, but after the accidental killing of the vice president, [[Headless body of Agnew|Spiro Agnew]], the group became more focused on sabotage, and installed [[Turanga Leela]] as its leader, though Frida remained communications director. Frida raped her Great Grand Father's dead body. Then she had diarrea. Frida was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
Her job as communications director was even satirized by Leela because of her constant awful feminine puns on common words or phrases. Frida was killed when she was attacked by a [[Dark One]] after considering the message she was to tell Leela from Fry.<br />

{{about|the acting unit|the ''[[All My Circuits]]'' character|Calculon (All My Circuits)}}<br />
'''Calculon''' was an acting unit most famous as [[Calculon (All My Circuits)|the star]] of the hit robot soap opera ''[[All My Circuits]]''. He has also appeared in films, including ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'', for which he was nominated for an Oscar at the [[1074th Academy Awards]]. In [[3012]], Calculon was killed in the [[World Acting Championship]]. In [[3013]], he was resurrected for a brief period, before dying once more after he had delivered the best acting performance of his career. Calculon was raped by Tina Belcher. He was also molested by Bob Belcher. He was also raped by Linda Belcher. He was also molested by Gene Belcher. He was also raped by Louise Belcher. ived a secret life unknown to the public. Then he had diarrea. Calculon claimed to be 27 years old, but he was actually almost 1000 ([[The Honking|2ACV18]]). He started his life humbly as a motorized service arm working on [[Project Satan]]. He was later offered acting talent through a deal with the [[Robot Devil]], who collected on that bargain in [[3004]] by asking Calculon to give up his ears {{et|4ACV18}}. He made his way to being many of history's great acting robots, including [[Acting Unit 0.8]], [[Thespa-mat]], and [[David Duchovny's head|David Duchovny]]. For most of these thousand years, he was also a [[Were-Car]], until [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] broke the curse by destroying [[Project Satan|the original were-car]].<br />
<br />
At some point in his career he became acquainted with the works of [[Harold Zoid]], whom he came to idolize {{et|3ACV08}}. He was presented with the opportunity to work under Zoid's direction on ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'', with the promise that he would win an Oscar for his work on the film. When he was not nominated, he threatened [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], and his idol Harold Zoid with death. Through Zoidberg's manipulation, he was nominated for Best Actor but ultimately lost to Zoid (again, through Zoidberg's manipulation).<br />
<br />
In [[3004]], he was invited at the [[Late Night with Humorbot 5.0]], where he met [[Coilette]] from [[Robonia]], winner of five gold medals. He fell in love with her, not knowing she was actually Bender who changed his sex. They dated, and he asked Coilette to marry him. On the wedding day, Coilette faked her death, having suffered of [[African Hydraulic Fever]]. Calculon then starred in ''[[Coilette: A Calculon Story]]'' to honor his old love's memory {{et|4ACV13}}.<br />
<br />
He is a member of the [[League of Robots]] and, for a time, was its [[president (disambiguation)|president]]. Under his leadership the organization remained lenient on it's official human-killing plank. After Bender joined in [[3008]], and was caught helping his human friends escape during [[Yivo]]'s universe-wide mating (despite his frequent anti-human tirades), Calculon and the rest of the League mocked Bender ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBwaBB]]). Bender challenged Calculon to a duel and won, vaporizing Calculon's arm. Calculon resigned his leadership in the organization.<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], he was directing [[Catastrophe Beach Party|a disaster film]], but most of the props and the actors were presumably destroyed and killed in [[Thubanian Invasion of Earth|a real disaster]] in shooting the first scene {{et|6ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3012]], Calculon consumed a bottle of food colouring, which is fatal to robots, in an attempt to defeat [[Langdon Cobb]] in the World Acting Championship. Despite his sacrifice, Cobb still won the championship.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], Fry and Bender set out to bring Calculon back from the dead, due to their mutual disliking of the inferior robot actor who replaced Calculon on ''All My Circuits''. With help from the Professor, they were able to bring his software back from [[Robot Hell]] and successfully reinstall it back into his body, which Bender had previously dug up. Calculon 2.0 was hereby born. During the year that Calculon had been dead, everyone had forgotten about him and he was now classed as a bad actor. The network executives at ''All My Circuits'' refused to recast Calculon 2.0 back into the lead role he once had in the show. This shocked and deeply saddened Calculon, as he always thought he was the greatest actor who had ever lived. Even his star on the Hollywood walk of fame was removed. Eventually he was persuaded to audition in disguise for a bit part on ''All My Circuits'', playing himself. After a wake up call from Leela in which she called him a "grade-"B" actor" who was "immediately forgotten", Calculon lost his strong sense of ego and became very sad. This newfound emotion set him up for his acting scene in which he delivered a moving performance, perhaps the best of his entire acting career. The cast of the show, Fry, Leela, Bender and the executives are hugely impressed and tell him he must take a bow. As he bends over, he pulls the prop rope, pulling a large lighting rig crashing down, missing Calculon narrowly. However, just moments after, another part of the stage above comes flying down. It crushes Calculon, and he is killed instantly, as the crowd looks on horrified. In honor of Calculon 2.0, his star on the walk of fame was reinstated. Calculon 2.0's wish of dying knowing he was a great actor who was adored again was fulfilled, and Calculon 2.0's spirit went back to Robot Hell to spend eternity, much to the Robot Devil's dismay.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Calculon was a skilled actor who is programmed to be very busy. He is idolized by many people, including [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], and he can be extremely self-centered. Calculon's acting talent seemed to have infused itself into his everyday life, and he speaks very melodramatically. He could be driven to violence when he doesn't get his way, such as when he was not nominated for an Oscar after appearing in ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'' and threatened to murder Zoidberg, Zoid, and Bender. However, he is also incredibly gullible. He hired Bender as an actor on ''[[All My Circuits]]'' because he believed "the audience" was rejecting the actors trying out for the show, when it was just Bender right outside the casting room yelling and disparaging everyone who came before him.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Calculon is one of the few non-[[:Category:Primary characters|primary characters]] who appear in every [[film]].<br />
*He owned a big house in [[Los Angeles|Hollywood]].<br />
*He owned an enormous yacht named "Calculon's Talent" in the pool of which he sails a large yacht named "Calculon's Pride".<br />
*He enjoyed hot showers.<br />
*He tended to see life as a huge soap opera.<br />
*Bender once worked as his hot water boiler in Hollywood. Bender was also his Official Stalker at one point.<br />
*He ran over [[Judge Whitey]] some time prior to ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', and was [[Whitey v. Calculon|sentenced]] to community service.<br />
*He states explicitly in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' that his operating system is {{w|Windows Vista}}, and hence encounters an error in his programming seconds later.<br />
**This suggests that his OS had remained the same since his days as an assembly arm to death, which would date his assembly between 2007 and 2009 when Vista was the current Windows OS. Moreover as [[Project Satan]] is a military project and the US Army switched to Vista in 2009<ref>{{cite web | author=Noyes, Katherine | url=http://www.technewsworld.com/rsstory/67242.html | site=Technewsworld | date=2009-06-04 | accessdate=2012-07-12}}</ref> and with Windows 7's release, it is likely his assembly was in 2009 making his age {{age|2009}}. Fans are further befuddled because of the television broadcast of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', where the mention of Windows Vista was edited to say Windows 7.<br />
*Calculon is featured on a Pez dispenser that Bender once stole.<br />
*He seemed to be friends with the Robot Devil.<br />
*Calculon's acting style appears to be based heavily on that of the late real-life actor {{w|Charlton Heston}}.<br />
*Seeing as when he was killed during his performance against Langdon Cobb and was in hell ever since, Calculon either had the same missing part as Bender, in regards to immortality through body replacement, or since he is over 1000 years old it is possible that he was simply built before that was commonplace for robots.<br />

'''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]] in the early [[2900s]]. He is known for ripping out people's latisimus dorsi and eating it raw. He is in a relationship with kwigon jim. Wernstrom was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Dr. Wernstrom is an old rival of Professor Farnsworth and was determined to get back at him for something as trivial as getting an A minus in an exam. His obsession with avenging himself against Farnsworth caused him to promise that he'd get back at him even if it took a hundred years. Approximately a hundred years later, he made the promise a second time {{et|1ACV08}}, despite the fact that he most likely wouldn't live to be over two hundred. Wernstrom frequently sneers at Farnsworth whenever the elder scientist makes blunders. He has also been described as being a jackass (1ACV08), not just to Farnsworth, but to pretty much anybody. <br />
<br />
Wernstrom is a clever scientist, possibly the equal of Farnsworth. However, Wernstrom seems to be biased against [[robots]], claiming that he had suspected they were responsible for [[global warming]] after this was confirmed by Farnsworth {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
Wernstrom's rivalry with Farnsworth has softened over the years and they have even worked together from time to time.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
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. Then he had diarrhea. 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.<br />
<br />
He was [[Mom]]'s husband and possibly fathered [[Walt]] and [[Larry]] in the [[2970s]], but they divorced. They later got back together when the Professor discovered that [[Dark Matter]] could be used as a fuel. After reuniting, they broke up again sometime before the year 3000.<br />
<br />
Dr. Wernstrom is a member of the University Council of [[Mars University (Place)|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 {{w|electromagnetic pulse}} (EMP).<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Production ==<br />
As explained in {{commentary|Obsoletely Fabulous}}, Wernstrom was created as a one-time character, only appearing in "[[A Big Piece of Garbage]]", but they find him "too good" and made him reappear. He is partially based on the title character played by {{w|Peter Sellers}} in ''{{w|Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb}}''.<br />

'''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]]. Mom commits insest with her sons. Mom was raped by Tina Belcher<br />
<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
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 [[robot]]s of the first robots, working alongside inventor [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Hubert J. Farnsworth]], who she had an on-again off-again [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|relationship]] with through many years. One of the first robots was the highly polluting [[Sport-Utility Robot]] created by Farnsworth. 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]].<br />
<br />
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". <br />
<br />
[[File:Momon posessed.PNG|225px|thumb|right|Mom's [[Cornwood]] alternative is [[Momon]], a witch-like being representing her evil personality.]]<br />
<br />
=== Recent years ===<br />
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 [[Mom-Farnsworth conflict|conflict]] continued, and continues to this day.<br />
<br />
She appears in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' under the identity "[[Momon]]" and eventually becomes a dragon that does battle with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], also a dragon.<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />
Mom has at least on several accounts had a [[Farnsworth-Mom relationship|relationship]] with [[Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth initially worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], where he designed robots for the company as well as toys, such as [[Q. T. McWhiskers]], but Mom's suggestion of turning the toy into a giant caused Farnsworth to leave her and [[Mom-Farnsworth conflict|conflict developed between the former lovers]].<br />
<br />
Farnsworth would later return to Mom's company to work on creating actual robots. At the time robots were stiff moving and not very efficient, however, when Farnsworth sacrificed fuel efficiency, he succeeded at creating a sportier robot, the design for which would be the primary cause of [[global warming]]. What caused Farnsworth to leave this time is unknown, but it is likely that it was Mom's evil nature.<br />
<br />
On a third occasion, Farnsworth was once again at the company with Mom, where he discovered the secret of [[Dark Matter]], around the time where [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Mom's sons]] were born. But when Mom revealed her plans to leave Farnsworth for [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|her former husband]], the relationship ended again.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, as revealed in "[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]", she has a close friendship with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]], even being on first name terms with him, asking him how he is and regretting that if he'd stayed with her, he could have been rich and successful.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
[[File:Mom's Old-Fashioned Robot Oil.jpg|thumb|Mom's Old-Fashioned Robot Oil]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Mom is featured on one of the discs of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]''.<br />
*She apparently holds the trademark on the words "Mom", "Love" and "Screen Door". Mom owns 99.7% of her conglomerate company [[MomCorp]]. The remaining 0.3% is split evenly between her three sons [[Walt, Larry and Igner]].<br />
*In [[Chapek 9]], followers of the robot religion [[Order of the Binary Singularity]] worship Mom as "Creatrix".<br />
*In "[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]", [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] reveals that her first name is Carol, though she is nearly always referred to as Mom.<br />
*Mom is similar to [[simpsons:Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] from ''[[The Simpsons]]'', another [[Matt Groening]] cartoon.<br />
*Mom has arguably the most exaggerated appearance, in how her body looks and moves when she's not in her dress. Additionally, she is arguably the most vulgar, if only the most creative in her insults and cursing.<br />

<br />
Fourth Lieutenant '''Kif Kroker''' is an [[Amphibiosan]] working for the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], serving aboard the ''[[Nimbus]]'' as first officer to [[Zapp Brannigan]]. Zapp is generally abusive towards Kif, forcing him to do a variety of demeaning tasks, including shaving his armpits, but Kif meekly tolerates this abuse, as he apparently lacks the confidence to defend himself. However, Kif sometimes seeks out advice from Zapp and is called his most loyal officer and best friend. Since [[3003]] he has had [[Kif-Amy relationship|a relationship]] with [[human]] [[Amy Wong]]. Kif burned his crotch while raping a pizza. Kif was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Kif Kroker has fought in wars against the [[Spheroids]] of [[Spheron 1]] ([[War Is the H-Word|2ACV17]]), the [[Spiderians]] of [[Tarantulon 6]] ([[Three Hundred Big Boys|4ACV16]]), the [[Decapodian Army]] in the [[Decapodian Invasion of Earth]] ([[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]]), and in all the [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] invasions of [[Earth]] ([[When Aliens Attack|1ACV12]], [[The Problem with Popplers|2ACV15]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]]). However, he was at one point discharged from the [[DOOP]] when [[Zapp Brannigan]] blamed most of his mistake on him ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]). Then he had diarrhea.<br />
<br />
Kif also briefly served as first officer on the ill-fated intergalactic cruise ship ''[[Titanic]]'', and, even more briefly, as captain of said vessel after [[Zapp Brannigan]] abandoned his command leaving Kif to go down with the ship. However, Kif managed to evacuate the ship via the escape pods, which is where he first met [[Amy Wong]].<br />
<br />
Kif fell in love with Amy Wong after only a brief meeting with her on the ''Titanic'' ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]]). For a whole year, he was too nervous to speak to Amy, but eventually admitted his feelings for her ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]). Despite [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]]' dislike of him, Amy returned his feelings. Ironically, though, it was them who set Kif and Amy up when Zapp forced the captainship upon him after the vessel crashed. They have been together since their first date ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]).<br />
<br />
[[Kif's offspring|Hundreds of unnamed children]] of whom [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] is the mother and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] is the [[smizmar]] when ([[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch|4ACV01]]). They are currently living in the [[Clan Kroker's Sacred Birthing Grounds|the same place where their father was born]], in an immature, tadpole form, and will have grown legs and emerged from the water by [[3023]]. [[Mr. and Mrs. Kroker|Kif's parents]] live there with them ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
Kif Kroker is a nervous and selfconscious individual who suffers from lack of confidence. He is submissive towards [[Zapp Brannigan]], even though Zapp frequently has him do humiliating things. Kif seems like the ideal candidate for General of the [[DOOP Army]], however, he often gets the blame when Zapp makes a mistake and has the credit taken from him by Zapp when he succeeds. However, when under the influence of alcohol, he finds Zapp's statements to be extremely funny.<br />
<br />
=== Friendships and relationships ===<br />
==== Zapp Brannigan ====<br />
[[Zapp Brannigan]] considers Kif to be his closest friend and most loyal officer, and he even tried to comfort Kif after discovering he was in love with [[Amy Wong]], though with very limited success. Kif has been known to insult Zapp behind his back, and despite being rather submissive towards Zapp, Kif once punched Zapp in the stomach after discovering he and Amy had had a brief sexual relationship ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
<br />
==== Amy Wong ====<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|thumb|275px|Kif and Amy's [[Fonfon Rubok|marriage]].]]<br />
{{main|Kif-Amy relationship}}<br />
<br />
In [[3001]], Kif met the [[Mars|Martian]] engineering student [[Amy Wong]] on the ''[[Titanic]]'', and exchanges a passionate kiss {{et|1ACV10}}. In [[3003]] they developed an intimate relationship {{et|3ACV01}}, and in [[3008]] Amy became Kif's [[fonfon ru]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|BwaBB]]). They briefly broke up {{et|6ACV04}}, but got back together soon afterwards.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*[[Kif's offspring|Hundreds of unnamed children]], through [[Turanga Leela]].<br />
*[[Amy Wong]], Kif's [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Ru]], or wife, and [[smizmar]] (''see [[Kif-Amy relationship]] for more info'').<br />
*[[Mr. and Mrs. Kroker]], parents.<br />
*Amy's entire [[Amy Wong#Family|family]] through [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]].<br />
*At least one sister was briefly seen in "[[Six Characters in Search of a Story]]".<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Kif is thought to be at least 55 years old, counting his 20 years as a tadpole, his childhood, long enough in the [[DOOP Army]] to become a lieutenant, and the 10 years of [[Futurama|the show]]. Part of this is speculation, though.<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[Maurice LaMarche]] stated that Kif's voice is a combination of {{w|Jon Lovitz}} and {{w|Truman Capote}}.<br />
*Kif is featured on one of the discs of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]''.<br />
*Although Kif is somewhat like an amphibian, he is apparently capable of growing stubble ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]).<br />
*Kif has no bones, but is supported by a system of fluid filled bladders.<br />
*Can walk on walls and ceilings.<br />
*Has three nipples ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]).<br />
*Has a camouflage reflex which turns him almost transparent.<br />
**He loses control of this reflex when he becomes nervous.<br />
*Is actually a highly competent crewman, as evidenced during his brief stint with [[Planet Express]] ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]).<br />
*Is a skilled combatant, as he can hit two spiders with a giant double-headed fly swat ([[Three Hundred Big Boys|4ACV16]]).<br />
*Is a great karaoke singer, in particular ''{{w|Total Eclipse Of The Heart}}'', due to his time in the DOOP Boys' Chorus.<br />
*Was killed twice and has been ressurected by [[Yivo]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]) and the [[birthing machine]] ([[Rebirth|6ACV01]]).<br />
*When he is really sick and/or has a hangover, he actually becomes liquid.<br />
*He is a good yet unusual breakdancer ([[That Darn Katz!|6ACV08]]).<br />
*Was shortly promoted to a Captain in the [[DOOP]].<br />
*Lacks a penis, but still wears usual human underwear.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
*Kif's most notable word (or in this case, noise) would be his trademark sigh. Usually used when confronted with the ineptitude of his superior, Zapp Brannigan.<br />

<br />
'''Zapp Brannigan''' is a 25-Star General in the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], captain of his flagship, the ''[[Nimbus]]'', and head of the [[DOOP Army]]. Zapp can not poop because Zoidberg surgical removed his rectum. Zapp was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Zapp promo.png|left|thumb|Zapp Brannigan.]]<br />
<br />
Although he claims to be a strategic genius, Zapp Brannigan is actually an imbecile and a coward whose plans could have easily been conjured up by a child. Zapp is inexplicably well-respected throughout [[Universe Γ|the universe]], appearing as a [[Miss Universe Pageant 3001|Miss Universe]] Judge {{er|2ACV06}} and often (ineffectively) defending [[Earth]] from attacks. Due to his stupidity and incompetence, most battles Zapp leads are lost; however, sometimes the army is lucky. Zapp doesn't care about casualties and cheerfully sends wave after wave of his own men to die in battle. {{er|1ACV04}} (This is most likely based on the idea that one can send more and more people to someone with a gun until it runs out of bullets.) He also apparently suffers from a learning disorder that he calls [[sexlexia]], which is a disturbingly erotic disorder, {{er|2ACV17}} though this may simply have been a pick-up line. The central law of DOOP, [[Brannigan's Law]], is named after him. {{er|1ACV04}} All this aside, he actually seemed happy for [[Kif]] after Kif had just given birth. {{er|4ACV01}}<br />
<br />
Contrary to his robust self image, the real Zapp Brannigan has a prominent beer belly and wears a blonde {{w|toupée}} to hide that he is, in fact, bald. {{er|4ACV01}} His specially designed DOOP uniform includes a revealing {{w|kilt}}.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Zapp Brannigan is hardly ever seen without his second in command, [[Kif Kroker]]. Zapp and Kif have a tough time working together and Zapp treats Kif like a slave, making his job the second most humiliating job there is. Some of the jobs Zapp makes Kif do are shaving his armpit while he was bathing. Even though he treats Kif badly he always gives advice, usually bad advice, to Kif whenever he needs it and also calls him his best and most loyal friend.<br />
<br />
On their first meeting, Zapp successfully seduced [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] into sleeping with him out of pity. After that fateful night in Zapp's [[Lovenasium]], Leela ended the relationship and chose saving [[Nibbler]] over getting back with Zapp and being rescued. Zapp keeps trying to get together with Leela and sometimes even mentioned what happened between them in court but she invariably turns him away sometimes even pretending that she has a [[Philip J. Fry|fiancé]]. At the battle of [[Spheron 1]], Zapp was attracted to new male recruit [[Turanga Leela|Lee Lemon]] and feared he might be gay and was relieved to find out that it was actually Leela.<br />
<br />
Only once was Zapp's incompetence shown when he blew up DOOP's new headquarters with the ''Nimbus''{{'}} hyperdeath laser. This led to him and Kif being banned from the DOOP. The two were employed by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] to work at [[Planet Express]] which led to Zapp convincing [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] to mutiny against Leela. Zapp escaped and was given back his title as General even though he tried to pilot the [[Planet Express Ship]] into the [[Neutral President]]'s home.<br />
<br />
Brannigan also served a short tenure as honorary captain of the ill-fated intergalactic cruise ship ''[[Titanic]]'', which he piloted into a black hole on its maiden voyage.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*Zapp has at least three children, born to [[Holo-Shed]] characters who became real. {{er|4ACV01}}<br />
*Was "host" to a dozen or so Da Nangian spawn. The children were presumably eaten by [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]. <sup>[[DOOP The Right Thing!|[US#004]]]</sup><br />
<br />
== Commendations and Accomplishments ==<br />
[[File:Killbot2.jpg|right|thumb|Killbot kill limit being reset. {{er|1ACV04}}]]<br />
*[[The Battle of the Octillian System|Defeated an army of Killbots]] by sacrificing his troops until the bots' pre-set "Kill limit" was reached.<br />
*Rented self a medal after leading a successful assault on the Spiderian home world [[Tarantulon 6]].<br />
*Led DOOP to victory over the peaceful [[Spheroids|Ball-People]] of planet [[Spheron 1]].<br />
*Single-handedly defeated the [[Retiree People]] of the [[Assisted Living Nebula]].<br />
*Annihilated the [[Pacifists]] of the [[Gandhi Nebula]].<br />
*Conducted a triumphant carpet bombing on [[Eden 7]].<br />
*Authored ''[[Zapp Brannigan's Big Book of War]]'', which is likely a plagiarized version of Sun Tzu's '' The Art of War''.<br />
*Sponsored "Brown Out".<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
=== Inspiration ===<br />
Zapp is clearly a parody of classic Sci-Fi captains, specifically Captain {{st|James T. Kirk}} from ''[[Star Trek]]'', with further inspiration drawn from {{w|Flash Gordon}}. His name is possibly a reference to {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} from ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}'' science fiction comedy media franchise, as is parts of his wit and humour, and both characters call themselves "The Big Z". There is a more than passing resemblance to {{w|Magnus, Robot Fighter}}, who also wears a red uniform featuring a skirt and dwells in the future, the year [[4000]].<br />
<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
The voice acting was originally scheduled for [[Phil Hartman]], who also voiced {{s|Troy McClure}} on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. But due to Hartman's death in [[1998]], the voice acting was given to [[Billy West]]. As a tribute, the makers of ''The Simpsons'' dedicated an {{w|Bart the Mother|episode}} to him and retired his characters. On ''[[Futurama]]'', [[Philip J. Fry]] was named in his honor.<br />
<br />
Billy West has stated that Zapp Brannigan is how he envisions Captain Kirk playing William Shatner. West also based the voice on certain radio announcers he's heard who love the sound of their own voice and often enunciate ending consonants.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Zapp Brannigan is one of the few non-[[:Category:Primary characters|primary characters]] who appear in every [[film]].<br />
*Zapp is featured on one of the discs of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]''.<br />
*In [[Commentary:When Aliens Attack|the commentary]] for "[[When Aliens Attack]]", it is speculated that Zapp got promoted from Captain to 25-star General sometime since we last saw him. {{er|1ACV10}} However, it is common for the person in command of a ship to be called "Captain" regardless of their actual rank.<br />
*Wears a girdle. {{er|2ACV02}}<br />
*Was [[DOOP v. Zapp|charged]] for blowing up [[DOOP]] headquarters. {{er|2ACV02}}<br />
*Is apparently known as "The Velour Fog". {{er|3ACV01}}<br />
*Is, besides [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], the only known person to have had sex with both [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] {{er|1ACV04}} and [[Amy Wong|Amy]]. {{er|TBwaBB}}<br />
*Was crushed while riding in an army tank with [[Kif]], trying to destroy a giant version of [[Bender]]. {{er|2ACV16}}<br />
*In ''{{s|The Simpsons Game}}'', a wanted poster for Zapp appears in the {{s|Springfield}} police station.<br />

<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
Zapp occasionally mispronounces words, saying them the way they are spelt. Some examples include:<br />
*Champagne - Champ-paggin' {{er|1ACV04}}<br />
*Without further ado - Without further adieu {{er|1ACV10}}<br />
*Guacamole - Go-awk-a-mole {{er|2ACV15}}<br />
*Bravo - Bray-vo {{er|4ACV18}}<br />
*Encore - Enn-core {{er|4ACV18}}<br />
*Quesadilla - Kay-sa-dill-a {{er|TBwaBB}}<br />
*Grand finale - Grand finally {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Syllable - Sill-ah-bull {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Coup - Coop {{er|7ACV05}}<br />
*Parmesan - Par-mee-zee-en {{er|7ACV05}}<br />
<br />
There are three exceptions: he doesn't have any trouble with "chutzpah," "karaoke," or "au naturel".<br />
Zapp often mentions velour (apparently his favorite material).<br />
<br />
Also, when he sings his butchered version of the song "Lola," he properly pronounces the word "champagne", though it is long after Leela corrects his pronunciation of it during his seduction of her.<br />
<br />
When mocking this trait, Leela pronounces "connoisseur" as "coin-a-sewer".<br />

<br />
'''Dr. John A. Zoidberg''' is a [[Decapodian]] employed as staff doctor at [[Planet Express]]{{er|1ACV02}} and an honorary [[Globetrotter]].{{er|3ACV14}} He is only tolerated at Planet Express because of his ability to cut things.{{er|6ACV14}} An extremely poor man and a doctor of art history,{{er|6ACV05}} he is still lovable to many and hated by others. Zoidberg regularly rapes the rest of the crew. Zoidberg surgical removed Zapp Brannigan's rectum. Zoidberg eats power tools for breackfast. Zoidberg raped prator shinzon. Zoidberg was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Desperate for acceptance, Zoidberg lives with a continuing delusion that he is well regarded by the rest of the Planet Express crew. He does appear to be rather intelligent, but he is an inept medical practitioner. Most of his co-workers look down on him, especially [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]], who likes to make his life even more miserable. Dr. Zoidberg is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s oldest friend, which suggests that Zoidberg is much older than he appears. A citizen of [[Earth]], he loves his chosen home planet for the personal freedom it provides.{{er|4ACV05}} He is also apparently the only intelligent organism on [[Earth]] deemed nice by the [[Santa Claus|Robot Santa Claus]].{{er|2ACV04}} It is unknown why, but it may be because of a glitch in Santa or because of Zoidberg's kind and innocent personality. Other than the professor, the only people known to identify him as a friend are the members of the [[First Planet Express crew]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] (sometimes), [[Mom]] and [[Marianne|his girlfriend]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Zoidberg.{{er|2ACV16}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
<br />
Dr. Zoidberg was born on [[Decapod 10]] and attended high school there, where he had a crush on classmate [[Edna]].{{er|2ACV05}} During that time, his face was covered in barnacles, for which he was laughed at.<br />
<br />
As a youngster, Zoidberg wanted to become a comedian, following the footsteps of his uncle [[Harold Zoid]], but he was discouraged by his guardian,<ref>Decapodians die upon mating.{{er|2ACV05}} One theory suggests that barren females care for the newly hatched young.</ref> whereupon he developed an interest in medical science.{{er|3ACV08}} Though he formulated a new plan to impress his family by becoming a doctor, he was again scolded for giving up his dream of being a comedian. Eventually, he went to medical school and left his home planet to seek his fortune on [[Earth]], although it is not known whether he studied on Decapod 10 or on Earth. He never received a doctorate in medicine for humans, but rather, in art history.{{er|6ACV05}} Though fully incompetent with humans, he treats them anyway, both at Planet Express and, apparently, outside the company (one such patient being the [[Australian man]]) . He is however, an expert on aliens, as stated by [[Professor Farnsworth]].{{er|6ACV18}}<br />
<br />
In [[2927]], Zoidberg met [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] while on a mission to capture a Tritonian [[yeti]] for [[Mom]]. During the mission, the Professor was infected with hypermalaria, which at the time, was thought to be impossible to cure. The Professor saved Zoidberg's life by killing the yeti. In exchange, Farnsworth pleaded that Zoidberg kill him as soon as the symptoms of hypermalaria started, so he wouldn't have to experience the horrible suffering.{{er|6ACV18}} Zoidberg agreed, leading to his employment at Planet Express in [[2961]], when it was founded.{{er|6ACV15}} <br />
<br />
[[File:Claw-Plach.png|thumb|left|225px|Zoidberg and his friend [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], battling in [[Claw-Plach]].{{er|2ACV05}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express doctor ===<br />
In his early days at Planet Express in 2961, he had a brief relationship with [[Candy]], until she was eaten by a [[Four-dimensional space whales|four-dimensional space whale]].{{er|6ACV15}}<br />
<br />
During [[Xmas]] of [[3000]], Zoidberg was the only person on Earth deemed "nice" by [[Robot Santa]] and was given a pogo stick as his present.{{er|2ACV04}} In [[3001]], Zoidberg saved [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s life by transplanting his head onto [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s shoulder when his body was severely damaged in a car crash on [[Jupiter]]'s moon [[Europa]].{{er|2ACV07}}<br />
<br />
=== Mating Season ===<br />
In 3001, Zoidberg was filling with male jelly and becoming violent due to the approaching mating season for his species. He went to his home planet to find a mate, and soon became intent on sharing the ritual with his old classmate Edna. Edna was disinterested and more attracted to Fry so Zoidberg challenged Fry to the Decapodian tradition of [[Claw-Plach]]. He intended to kill Fry until he noticed the mating ritual had begun without him, so he and Fry returned to Earth as friends again.{{er|2ACV05}} <br />
<br />
Later that year, when he was trapped at the bottom of the ocean with the rest of the Planet Express crew, he found a shell to live in and planned to reside there permanently, until it somehow burned down after Bender left his cigar next to it.{{er|2ACV12}}<br />
<br />
He served as a military doctor in the 3001 conflict with [[Spheron 1]].{{er|2ACV17}}<br />
<br />
=== Attempts at comedy ===<br />
Although his medical career meant giving up his dream of becoming a comedian, Zoidberg has since tried on occasion to be a freelance comedian of some sort, but lack the necessary talent and sense of humour. In his biggest try, he even had a minor part in [[Harold Zoid|his uncle]]'s film ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'' in [[3002]].{{er|3ACV08}}<br />
<br />
When the crew had to explore Fry's body in 3002, Zoidberg made himself useful by using his limited knowledge of human anatomy to lead them through a capillary.{{er|3ACV02}} Also that year he began coughing up pearls which were sold as necklaces while the crew were following Bender on tour.{{er|3ACV13}}<br />
<br />
=== Roswell Alien ===<br />
After a supernova he was accidentally sent back in time to [[1947]] Roswell where he was captured by the [[US Army]]. He met [[Harry S. Truman|President Harry Truman]] (it is unclear which of them was more baffled by the other) and was partially vivisected. He was rescued by Fry and returned to the [[31st century|future]] where he put his organs back in (except a non-vital one) and fixed himself with duct tape.{{er|3ACV19}}<br />
<br />
When Planet Express was taken over by [[Steve Castle]], he sold all his shares for a sandwich.{{er|3ACV21}}<br />
<br />
=== Death Sentence ===<br />
In [[3003]] on [[Freedom Day]], he ate [[Old Freebie|an Earthican flag]] and was chased by an angry mob sent by [[President Nixon]]. He took refuge in his planet's embassy and was sentenced to death for his crime while in hiding. In response, the Decapodians invaded and conquered Earth, enslaving all its citizens. Eventually, Zoidberg disagreed with the takeover and helped defeat the invaders with a burning flag.{{er|4ACV05}} <br />
<br />
In [[3004]], after an accident in a health spa, he reverted back to all his childhood stages until he returned to his current age in the [[Fountain of Aging]].{{er|4ACV09}}<br />
<br />
When Professor Farnsworth created a box containing [[Universe 1|a parallel universe]], Zoidberg quickly befriended his parallel counterpart. The two Zoidbergs, fed up with how the crew treats them, stole the box containing [[Universe Γ|our universe]] and tried to escape into other universes until they were caught by Farnsworth.{{er|4ACV15}}<br />
<br />
When everyone on Earth was given a 300 dollar government refund, Zoidberg was inspired to live like a rich person, until he was mocked by Mom for thinking the money had a lot of worth. He eventually spent his money on food for a group of homeless people.{{er|4ACV16}}<br />
<br />
=== Mercy Killing ===<br />
In [[3011]], the rest of the [[Planet Express Crew|crew]] became fed up with Dr. Zoidberg's incompetence as a doctor, and demanded that the [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] fire him.{{er|6ACV18}} However, the symptoms of hypermalaria had after several decades, finally began to infect him. Farnsworth approached Zoidberg and informed him that it was time to perform the mercy killing, only it needed to be by surprise. But before Zoidberg could carry out the act, the rest of the crew caught Zoidberg trying to kill the Professor and imprisoned him in his office, restraining him with the Professor's lab coat. On the coat, Zoidberg discovers a thin, white, [[yeti]] hair, and realizes that the Professor never had hypermalaria, but [[yetiism]], a dangerous disease with identical symptoms to hypermalaria, that turns the victim into a yeti. Shocked by this revelation, Zoidberg escapes and goes to the headquarters of [[Mom]], where he exchanges a coupon for a free tanning session for the disembodied head of a yeti. Zoidberg returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] just moments before the rest of the crew kill the Professor themselves, (after he revealed the truth to them) Zoidberg reveals to them that the Professor has yetiism, not hypermalaria. Using the pineal gland from the yeti's head, he creates an antidote and forces him to swallow it; just as the yeti transformation begins. The cure was successful, and the rest of the crew apologize to Zoidberg for treating him so poorly.<br />
<br />
By [[3013]], Zoidberg had gotten a job at [[Elzar's]] as a busboy.{{er|7ACV17}}<br />
<br />
Amazingly enough, by at some point in 3013, Zoidberg met [[Marianne|a flower girl]] and they began dating.{{er|7ACV25}}<br />

It is also possible that Decapodians have three biological parents. He referred to one of them (his mother) as a saint, which was most likely just an expression.

== Production ==<br />
[[File:Zoidberg lab.jpg|right|thumb|Production pic of Zoidberg's lab.]]<br />
The original inspiration and the basic traits and characteristics were developed by [[David X. Cohen]],<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref> while the cartoon design was created by [[Matt Groening]]. The later refinement and addition of various traits came from the various [[:Category:Writers|writers]].<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=Put Your Head on My Shoulders |volume=Two |disc=2}}</ref><br />
<br />
Cohen's name for Dr. Zoidberg came from a video game he had developed during the [[1980s]], called "Zoid",<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> which was largely inspired by the popular arcade game {{w|Qix}}.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=That's Lobstertainment! |volume=Three |disc=2}}</ref> Cohen tried to get the then famous publisher {{w|Brøderbund}} to publish the game.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Unfortunately, Brøderbund refused to publish Cohen's assembly-written game, and he shelved it.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Dr. Zoidberg was thus named to honour those wasted years in college.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/><br />
<br />
Cohen's inspiration came from {{st|Bones McCoy}} from ''[[Star Trek]]'', the doctor on the ''{{st|U.S.S. Enterprise}}''. Bones was often faced with treating aliens and other non-humans, including [[Spock]].<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Cohen's idea for Zoidberg was the exact opposite, where an alien would perform on humans.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Zoidberg's trait of being a bad doctor was then established.<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk"/><br />
<br />
Later traits, such as his lust for seafood, became apparent in "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]". More demeaning traits such as being poor and lonely came in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]"; eating garbage and being homeless appeared later as well.<br />
<br />
Certain contradicting situations can be seen in "[[A Flight to Remember]]", where Zoidberg is seen being given a suite, something that the writers would not give him in the later course of the series.<ref name="epAFTR-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=A Flight to Remember |volume=One |disc=3}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
[[Billy West]] has often stated that the voice of Zoidberg was inspired by profile {{cat|actor}}s from Yiddish theater such as {{w|Lou Jacobi}} and {{w|George Jessel (actor)|George Jessel}}. His voice may also be inspired by reggae/hip-hop {{cat|musician|singer}}, {{w|Shaggy (musician)|Shaggy}}.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Zoidberg is featured both on disc 7 of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]'' and on the cover for [[Volume 7]]. He is also featured on one of the discs of Volume 7.<br />
*Zoidberg's E-mail is: zoidberg@freemail.web.{{citation needed}}<br />
*As the show progresses, Zoidberg's apparent utility becomes less obvious, and the Planet Express staff shun his presence from one instance to another.<br />
*It has been mentioned several times that the Planet Express crew openly abuses him. In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he yelled that Fry was the only crew member who had never struck him. Also, several times he has done something wrong and exclaimed "Don't hit me!"<br />
*As with all Decapodians, Zoidberg's mannerisms, speech, and personality are representative of dry East Coast humor readily seen in Jewish communities.<br />
*He claims to have lost his medical degree in a volcano. This, however, was an excuse for not having one to give to Cubert.<br />
*In earlier [[Episode Listing|episodes]] he is animated with teeth, but in later episodes he is drawn without. His mouth frills are prehensile and can move independently, although most of the time they remain loose.<br />
*Is apparently his own medical corporation, as described on the door to his office.<br />
*Zoidberg has a top fin or crest on his head that appears at times of emotional duress, such as "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]" and ''Bender's Big Score''. It seems to be linked to his species' equivalent to testosterone, as it appears to be linked to both aggression and arousal, as shown in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' and "[[Attack of the Killer App]]". Also, the fin appears when he remembers a forgotten event. The crest, referred to by Amy as "cockateiling", has been shown on one occasion to occur just before a traumatic event, allowing Zoidberg to predict danger, but not with enough notice to do anything about it. <br />
*His greatest fantasy is to be a grandmother ("Subjugated yet honored!").<br />
*Hermes from the earliest episodes seems to harbor a bitter hatred toward Zoidberg, never explained or given a rationale. This starts in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", when Hermes states someone (in fact Bender was addicted to it) has been using a lot of electricity, then blames Zoidberg who exclaims "MEEE?" Hermes later removes the office's salt-water cooler to save money, prompting Zoidberg to blurt out, "This is a witch-hunt!"<br />
[[File:Zoidberg office.jpg|right|thumb|Zoidberg in his office with Fry.{{er|6ACV18}}]]<br />
*An [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|alternate version]] of him as a blob-like creature appears in ''Bender's Game'', although he begins as an innocent Dungeon Monster.<br />
*In the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween08.html Halloween 2008] cartoon of [http://homestarrunner.com Homestar Runner], the Poopsmith is dressed as Zoidberg. Also, if you click him at the end of the toon, the King of Town uses the phrase "[[Good news, everyone]]."<br />
*Apparently likes [[Barbados Slim]] (Although he says he likes a lot of people, possibly a catchphrase).<br />
*He has been shown to cough up colorful beads after eating copious amounts of dirt, which can be sold to make money. This is only seen in the episode "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]".<br />
[[File:Zoidberg promo.png|right|thumb|Zoidberg reading a book entitled ''Diseases of the Claw and Egg Sac''.]]<br />
*His [[birthday]] is the day after Amy's.{{er|3ACV14}}<br />
*His claws and exoskeleton are incredibly strong and resilient. His claws can cut through human flesh, bone, and even some metals while his exoskeleton is impervious to knives and swords.<br />
*He is first mentioned to be desperately poor in the episode "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]".<br />
*In "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]", it is said he started working in Planet Express in [[2992]], though in "[[Möbius Dick]]", he is seen working since the start, around [[2961]].<br />
**Possible that he is fired and rehired to avoid paying out benefits.<br />
***The Professor's senilty and Hermes' not caring may also be the explanation.<br />
*Grows brown hair that usually turns white immediately in cases of extreme fear (as shown in "Möbius Dick").<br />
*He is noted by Farnsworth to be a "doctor for aliens", often gives mistaken diagnoses on Fry and Bender that may apply to other species, and has demonstrated knowledge of alien physiology (as shown in "[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]"). This may suggest he qualified as a doctor on Decapod 10. He was also described as a "medical doctor" by the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], implying he may be qualified in some form as a doctor. <br />
* Interesting, the only thing about being a doctor Zoidberg seems to know about is reattaching limbs, as he does this several times.{{er|2ACV05|2ACV07|BBS|space=no}}<br />
*He has shown infrequent romantic interest in human men, thought this probably means nothing as he is repeatedly unable to differentiate between human genders.<br />
*In ''Bender's Big Score'' he was crowned Prince of Bageria by the [[Scammer Aliens|Scammers]]. Although it's obivously a scam, Zoidberg still fell for it.<br />
*Zoidberg appears to think humans have multiple mouths, dorsal fins. He also can't tell humans apart from robots and males from females. He also thinks that food is digested in the heart.<br />
*Several of Zoidberg's internal organs are either redundant or vestigial. In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]", he is vivisected by scientists who know nothing of his physiology and leaves one of his hearts behind.<br />
*He may be a fan of Scooby-Doo, as he said "Well gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands.", a catchphrase of Fred.{{er|3ACV06}}<br />
*According to the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], Zoidberg is "delicious with butter and lemon",{{er|7ACV02}} though this could be a gag since those two do work well with lobster.<br />
*He can harmonize with himself, possibly with two sets of vocal cords.<br />
*He is one of three current crew members of Planet Express that have worked for Mom in some capacity, the other two being Farnsworth and Hermes.<br />
*He is unable to swim very well, and does a "doggie paddle" instead of a proper stroke.<br />
*He frequently claims that various member of the crew (Hermes, Bender, etc.) are his "best friend", despite having absolutely no evidence to suggest it's true (or any evidence that any of them consider him a 'friend' at all).<br />
*He may be [[religion|Catholic]], since he has made the sign of the cross{{er|6ACV22}} and prayed to [[God]].{{er|7ACV12}}<br />

[[File:Zoidberg 7ACV19.png|thumb|225px|Zoidberg as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the berry burglar]]'s monster.{{er|7ACV19}}]]<br />
*(At inappropriate times) Hello.<br />

*Excellent, excellent!<br />
*(Famous person)? I love that guy!<br />
*Woop woop woop woop!{{iiw}} (This sound effect is based on sound effects made by The Three Stooges.)<br />

*Dibs on...! or alternative forms of calling dibs on something. Zoidberg usually comes late to Bender (for Leela's [[iPod]] in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' and the ship's shotgun in "[[Parasites Lost]]") or [[Amy]] (for Leela's maid of honor in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'')<br />
*(Depressed, after being insulted, ignored, or one-upped) Awwww...<br />
<br />
Also, he is usually shown to be highly unintelligent when it comes to being a doctor, such as thinking that Amy is the father of Leela's [[popplers|poppler]], that humans have multiple mouths, that Fry is a robot, and that humans digest food in their hearts. More so, he often mistakes the human penis for other objects, especially that of Hermes. The closest he has ever been to showing competence in the field of human medical science was in "[[Parasites Lost]]", but only because he saw it in a commercial.<br />

Tina Belcher is a mass rapist. She comes from the Bob's Burgers Universe. She has raped nearly every Futurama character along with many from other universes. Those who have been raped by her consider it a great honor. She is mother to over 800 children.<br />
==Biography==<br />
She was born to Bob and Linda Belcher, they to were rapists. When she first came out of the womb, she imidiatly grabbed her dad's penis (why he was naked we will never know.) It can be said she was a rapist from birth.<br />
One day when she was still young, while she was taking a shower with her dad, her father molested her. That event thrilled the young girl.From that day on she knew exactly what she wanted to do when she grew up. She wanted to rape people and thrill people like her dad had her.Her first victom was her Brother Gene. Then she sexually asulted her mother. She then seduced her father. She then molested her sister Luise, who was just a baby at the time. She then ran away and began raping anyone she could. Males, Females, straits and gays, young and old, not even animals were safe from her harsh rapings. At the young age of 13, she had raped over 7,000 people. At this point, she came to the Futurama universe to get fresh victoms. This wiki is a history of her rapings.</div>162.158.255.198https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Dr._Amy_Wong&diff=155829Dr. Amy Wong2016-03-02T16:46:27Z<p>162.158.255.198: running down the gutter with a piece of bread and butter diarrea</p>

'''Amy Wong''', '''Ph.D.''', is a human from [[Mars]] who is of Chinese descent, sole heir to half the planet, and a Doctor of Applied Physics. She is a primary character and is known as a klutz and socialite. She is always seen wearing her pink outfit pictured to the right, because of the pressure from her extremely wealthy parents to look smart and presentable but she doesn't like this idea. Amy was raped by Carl Fredrickson. All though she is a girl, she has a penis in the penis museum. This must indicate that she had a sex change. Amy suffers from coprophilia (meaning she is sexally aroused by poop). She allways breaks into bathrooms while people are taking a dump. She sticks her face in the toilet. Sometimes she even eats it. Amy was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Amy is friendly and easily gets along with others but she is also a bit of a klutz. She has attracted a fair few men in her time, most notably [[Kif Kroker]], her [[fonfon ru]]. Amy also appears to have some level of vanity and is concerned about her appearance. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Turanga Leela]], the only other female at Planet Express, whom she often accuses of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman. Even so, they remain friends.<br />
<br />
Despite her usual intelligence, Amy can be absent-minded. A notable example being removing [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg's]] restraints no less than eight times, despite injuries she endured each time. Amy also has little concept of money, having offered to pay more for a [[Beta Romeo|hovercar]] than its sticker price and needing to be reminded by Leela that $10,000 is more than $5,000.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Amy - Junior Champion.png|right|thumb|Mini-golf junior champion]]<br />
<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
Amy Wong was raised by her parents, [[Leo and Inez Wong|Leo and Inez]], on [[Wong Ranch]], a farm that covers the entire western hemisphere of Mars. During her teenage years she had a weight problem, but enjoyed the perks that come from having rich parents such as having multiple ponies and a pet [[Betsy|buggalo]]. In her spare time Amy took up miniature golf in a failed attempt to impress her father, becoming a champion in tournaments.<br />
<br />
=== Mars University and an Internship ===<br />
Joining [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]]'s student body, thanks to a donation from her parents, Amy began an engineering degree and joined the family sorority, Kappa Kappa Wong along with Sigma Beta. In [[2998]], while studying at MU she took an internship at [[Planet Express]], a company owned by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], one of her teachers (technically, despite the fact that no one take his class. He made up the name of it so everyone would be scared of it, and he has no clue how to teach.) While the job involves engineering work, Amy would occasionally join the delivery crew on the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]], learning how to fly it and control the winch in order [[The Series Has Landed|to save]] the current crew.<br />
<br />
=== A chance meeting ===<br />
On [[A Flight to Remember|a company vacation]] aboard the [[Titanic]], Amy, in order to avoid having her parents set her up with [[bisque guy|an unpleasant fat man]], lied about currently having [[Philip J. Fry|a boyfriend]]. Fortunately for her, this ruse ended shortly before evacuating, and her parents finally set her up with someone she liked; the Titanic's new captain, [[Kif Kroker]]. After being dropped off back at Planet Express by her [[Amphibiosans|Amphibiosan]] love interest, he became too nervous to talk to her and instead began calling and hanging up, which he did for an entire year. They also managed to avoid seeing each other during his brief stint as the company's ship's First Mate. Amy moved on and resumed dating other men, including [[Put Your Head on My Shoulders|a short term romance]] with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], which ended with his head surgically attached to her body. Fortunately, his body was soon repaired and the head was put back in place.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after one of Kif's failed phone calls, [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] used the couple for a chance to get close to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. Zapp crashed and burned, taking the restaurant-ship with him, but [[Kif-Amy relationship|Kif and Amy's relationship]] managed to begin anew. Despite having introduced them, Amy's parents did not approve of Kif when she brought him home for [[Mars Day]] and although he later saved her life when she was kidnapped by the [[Native Martians]], they didn't believe it.<br />
<br />
=== Long distance relationship ===<br />
Due to Kif's [[DOOP|career]], the couple were forced to maintain the relationship long distance. Amy spent this time at work, [[Bendin' in the Wind|following a band on tour]] and becoming an honourary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]] but eventually decided to sneak on board the Planet Express ship and steal it while the crew was sleeping. This rendezvous led to Kif's impregnation, which almost split the couple up, but once it became clear that their offspring would remain in a swamp for twenty years to develop into children, she came around. Not too long after this she temporarily [[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|became a child again]] herself due to an accident at a health spa, and may have come out of the experience slightly younger than where she started. They continued to date, [[Three Hundred Big Boys|spending the day on a paddle plane]] or spending the night at a reception for the silk surplus.<br />
<br />
=== Fonfon Rubok ===<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|right|thumb|Amy's and Kif's Fonfon Rubok]]<br />
In the following years Amy had grown her hair long until it was burned down to the previous length by [[Bender]]. Soon after became one of many victims of [[Scammer Aliens|scammers]] who took control of the whole of planet [[Earth]]. After the planet was reclaimed, Amy and Kif had a [[coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]]; the marriage fell apart soon after, when Kif was killed by Zapp's incompetence. He was brought back, but after learning that she and Zapp had spent a night together, he left her.<br />
<br />
=== The golfing feminist ===<br />
Having long sought the approval of her father, she initially defended him against Leela for his views on women but eventually couldn't take the criticism, joining the [[Feministas]] to get back at him. The group's history leads to their arrest, but they are broken out by Bender and after Leo's plan is foiled, she is reunited with Kif as they and her co-workers escape from Zapp down a wormhole.<br />
<br />
=== Proposition Infinity ===<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being [[Rebirth|rebirthed]], Amy has a long fight with Kif that leads to their break-up when he cannot stand her flirting with bad boys. Supporting this theory, Amy starts a [[robosexuality|robosexual]] relationship with [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], and they decide to marry and votes to [[Proposition Infinity|legalize robosexual marriage]]. However Bender leaves her upon realising she wants a monogamous wedding, and she returns to Kif, who now has turned a bad boy for her.<br />
<br />
=== Doctor of Applied Physics ===<br />
[[File:Dr. Amy Wong.jpg|right|thumb|Amy's graduation from Mars University]]<br />
In 3010, having worked as an intern for twelve years, Amy presented her thesis to the Professors at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]]. She fails to get her doctorate the first time, but it is revealed that [[Professor Morris Katz]], one of the Professors that failed her, was actually an alien cat who then stole the [[Earth]]'s rotational energy using the very device Amy had just designed and been failed for. Amy used her skills as a scientist to solve the problem by causing the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction and earn her PhD in applied physics. Despite this achievement, however, she stays at [[Planet Express]] after [[Professor Fisherprice Shpeekenshpell]] describes the job market as "rough".<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Amy promo.png|right|thumb|Amy Wong]]<br />
*Amy's E-mail is: awong79@marslink.web<br />
*Amy's parents always want grandchildren but Amy is the adoptive mother of Kif's children.<br />
*Aside from [[Scruffy]], [[Nibbler]], and the [[Planet Express Ship]], she is the only [[Planet Express]] employee to not have her name in an [[Episode Listing|episode]] title.<br />
*Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.<br />
*Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.<br />
*At Mars U., Amy was a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and was an engineering student of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*On two occasions, she has had a relationship with [[Fry]]. (''see [[Fry-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
*Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.<br />
*Speaks [[Yeti language|Yeti]].<br />
*Like [[Amy's parents|her parents]], when she gets mad or frustrated, she starts speaking {{w|Cantonese}}, a Chinese dialect; however, Lauren Tom has made mistakes and {{w|Mandarin}} occasionally slips in {{et6|1ACV02|2ACV12|3ACV01|BBS|ItWGY|6ACV08}}.<br />
*Is an honorary [[Globetrotter]].<br />
*Is the only staff member not seen in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
*Has several tattoos at various places, including at least four [[Talking Tattoo|talking tattoos]] (one on her upper right arm and three presumably on her buttock (she also has a tattoo of [[Inez Wong|her mother]] on her ass) one of which neighs like a horse) and one [[Amy's Obscene Tattoo|obscene tattoo]] on her left upper arm, which cannot be viewed on a standard definition TV. A drink recipe commemorating her tattoo can be found [http://www.idrink.com/v.html?id=6934 here.]<br />
*Has the same blood type as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. This is probably the only reason Professor Farnsworth keeps her around {{et1|1ACV02}}.<br />
*Has a pet [[Buggalo]] named [[Betsy]].<br />
*An alternate version of her named [[Gynecaladriel]] appeared in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*Her email is awong79@marslink.web, suggesting she is born in 2979.<br />
*Is highly allergic to cats.<br />
*Had cuteness-reduction surgery {{et1|3ACV09}}.<br />
*Her star sign is {{w|Sagittarius (astrology)|Sagittarius}}, which puts her birth date in late November or early to mid December.<br />
**Except that on 1st December 2979 the Sun as seen from Mars is on the border between Virgo and Leo. Sagittarius is on the opposite side of the sky. Of course one shouldn't expect astrology to have anything to do with the actual positions of objects in the sky, but still...<br />
*According to "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", she has been an employee at Planet Express since at least 2992. If her birth year is in fact 2979, that would mean she won Employee of the Year at the age of 13.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase and running jokes ===<br />
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!".<br />
Variations include:<br />
*Guh! {{et3|1ACV02|1ACV04|1ACV06}}<br />
*Buh! {{et2|1ACV04|2ACV10}}<br />
*Fluh! {{et1|2ACV04}}<br />
*Spluh! {{et3|2ACV07|4ACV15|BBS}}<br />
*Abraca-Duh! {{et1|3ACV18}}<br />
*Guh-oh. {{et1|6ACV04}}<br />
*Shmich! {{et1|4ACV16}}<br />
*What the shmell happened? {{et2|6ACV09|6ACV11}}<br />
*You must be pretty glorked off. {{et1|7ACV03}}<br />
*Shmayday! Shmayday! {{et1|s3}}<br />
<br />
In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.<br />
<br />
Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows.<br />
She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.<br />
<br />
She also has a habit of denying a strange thing if people comment on her. In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Nibbler runs away with her bra, and the professor hands her a can to spray a new bra on. After spraying a new bra on, she asks the professor how she looks. The professor says that she looks like a cheap [[France|French]] harlot, to which she denyingly and a bit angrily replies: "''French''?" In "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]", the Amy of [[universe 1]] calls her evil and shallow, to which she replies: "I am ''not'' evil!"<br />

}}<br />
'''Hermes Conrad''' is a Jamaican {{w|Rastafarian}} and grade 36 [[Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]], and proud of it. He works at [[Planet Express]], handling stamping, filing, collating, and accounting - all the fiddly little paperwork that only a true bureaucrat can handle properly. He claims, however, that he is only anal 78.36% of the time. He is also an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]], and has worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] as Inspector #5. He lives with [[Conrad family|his family]] in [[Conrad Apartment|an apartment]].He was molested by Mace Window. Hermes molested his son dwight. Then he had diarrea. Zoidberg cut Hermes penis of. Hermes was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Hermes is a bureaucrat working for the [[Planet Express]] delivery company, under [[Hubert J. Farnsworth]]. He is friendly and hard working but can also be nasty at times, particularly to [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]]. Despite his wide frame, Hermes was an accomplished limboer. He has a rivalry with Barbados Slim. Hermes also has a habit of saying "Sweet (something) of (some place)".<br />
The show also hints that Hermes does not like his co-workers in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]". He first tells [[Leela]] to shoot [[Bender]], [[Fry]] and Zoidberg, and second has to be begged not to eject the crew from the airlock.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Hurricane in Kingston town ===<br />
Hermes Conrad was born to a [[Hermes' mother|fat ugly Jamaican woman]] in [[2959]] and soon after began to develop into a fine young bureaucrat, crying when his alphabet blocks are knocked out of order as a four year old and making friends and family file long applications to get into his tenth [[birthday]] party.<br />
<br />
=== Limbo champion ===<br />
[[File:Hermes Limbo 2980.png|right|thumb]]<br />
During his adult life, Hermes became an Olympic grade limboer. It was around this time that he married [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]], the ex-wife of his rival [[Barbados Slim]]. On his honeymoon, he limboed for 12 straight hours. When competing for the Earth team in [[2980 Olympics|2980]] a [[2980 Olympics Boy|young fan]] trying to emulate him ran onto the field and snapped his spine, killing him, Hermes dropped out of professional limbo immediately after the tragic accident. Turning to his other passion, Hermes and his wife moved to [[New New York]], home to the [[Central Bureaucracy]] and the couple had a son, [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]].<br />
<br />
=== Mom's Friendly Robot Company ===<br />
[[File:Young Hermes and Baby Bender.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Sometime after moving to New New York, Hermes got a job as Inspector #5 at Mom's Friendly Robot Company's [[Tijuana]] division ([[Lethal Inspection|6ACV06]]). He lived in a rather quaint mission-styled house there, while it appears LaBarbara remained in New New York. There he was responsible for letting [[Bender]] live, despite him being a defective unit. After this he immediately quit the company and moved back to New New York.<br />
<br />
=== Heroic Bureaucrat ===<br />
Hermes, as a grade 36 bureaucrat, joined the staff of [[Planet Express]]. When his limboing skills alone could save the entire crew from certain death in the destruction of the space cruise ship [[Titanic]], he overcame his aversion and rediscovered the sport he loved. After a few bad experiences with [[brain slugs]], Hermes received a pair of letters from the Central Bureaucracy, the second of which informed him there would soon be an inspection - and a chance at a promotion. Unfortunately, his office was messed up by the angry staff of [[Applied Cryogenics]] (due to Bender cheating at a game of poker) and he was sent on the ultimate penalty of paid vacation. Zoidberg suggested that he and LaBarbara go to [[Spa 5]] to relieve the stress, but it turned out to be nothing more than a labour camp. On returning to the Central Bureaucracy building, he was able to sort the master "in" pile and retrieve a disk containing Bender's brain. He finished the job with time to spare and was demoted to grade 38 as a result, but soon found an error in [[Morgan Proctor|another bureaucrat]]'s paperwork and earned a promotion to grade 37.<br />
<br />
=== It's called parenting ===<br />
When Dwight and [[Cubert Farnsworth]] started their own delivery company, Hermes and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] felt threatened, and rightly so; the pair soon took over the company, until they were revealed to not have been delivering their papers. Later, The pair of parents formed a [[Bender]] protest group, [[Fathers Against Rude Television]], which successfully protested [[All My Circuits]] to get him off the show and remove his influence on their children.<br />
<br />
=== Old Habits ===<br />
[[File:Hermes Head Battles.png|right|thumb]]<br />
In 3004, when the entire Jamaican limbo team was detained at the airport because of their "other interests," Hermes was called back out of retirement to defend his country's pride, but he came in dead last due to a freak accident with his [[flabbo-dynamic spandex bodysuit]]. Three years and three bureaucrat grade increases later Hermes, now grade 34, was decapitated when a decorative sword fell and sliced off his head after a limbo contest at Planet Express. Although he survived as a [[Head jars|head in a jar]], LaBarbara immediately left him and went back to [[Barbados Slim|her first husband]]. At [[Lars Fillmore|Lars]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s wedding, he won LaBarbara back when he received a new body (his own, stolen from the past by Bender). Soon after, he was jabbed in the eye with a pen and his head is chopped off once again when a crystal chandelier falls, destroying the [[time paradox duplicate]] body. His head then provides useful guidance in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|war to reclaim the earth]] where, using his mighty bureaucratic mind to coordinate the human fleet, he defeats the [[remote-controlled solid gold Death Stars]] and wins LaBarbara back. He then regains his original body back and witnesses space ripping open.<br />
<br />
=== Mysterious Destination ===<br />
In the same year, he attends Kif and Amy's [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]] and participates in "[[Deathball]]" to win the right to explore the [[Anomaly]] {{et|TBwaBB}}. He is one of the many people who live with one of [[Yivo]]'s tentacles in his neck and joins everyone else in the universe in leaving to live on Yivo. After returning, Hermes comes to LaBarbara and the other [[Feministas]]' rescue, as they flee [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the [[Earth]]ican legal system through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]].<br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
Exiting the wormhole, only to crash land outside their workplace, Hermes and his colleagues are given new bodies by the Professor, as the old ones were reduced to skeletons {{et|6ACV01}}. A few months later, Bender learned that he had been approved by "Inspector #5" despite lacking a backup unit. Hermes accompanies Bender on a quest to find the responsible party, allowing him to continue hiding the fact that he had been that inspector, and to protect Bender from any dangerous [[Killbots]]. By this time, Hermes had been demoted back to grade 36 {{et|6ACV06}}. In [[3012|the following year]], Hermes became a cyborg after feeling he was inferior to machines, though Zoidberg managed to put him back into his organic body (after using it as a ventriloquist dummy). {{et|7ACV07}}.<br />

<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />
Hermes has been married to LaBarbara since the beginning of the series, so no other relationships are shown, except when the entire universe, him included, falls in love with Yivo.<br />
<br />
=== Semblance ===<br />
It is pointed out at several times that Hermes is overweight, perhaps this is why [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] mistook Hermes as an outer-space potato man instead of a rotund Jamaican ([[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back|2ACV11]]). For example, when a sword cuts off part of his belly while limboing ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]) and a [[High-Powered X-Ray]] is fired at him ([[The Duh-Vinci Code|6ACV05]]), he realizes that he is not, as he presumed, big-boned - he's just fat. When he asks [[Amy Wong|Amy]] to [[Mind-Switcher|switches minds]] ([[The Prisoner of Benda|6ACV10]]), she says she'll destroy his body too (already having made [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s obese), he solemnly replies, "three decades of the munchies already beat you to it". Amy, however, helped him lose a lot of weight, by losing her appetite after seeing Leela and Fry make out in the bodies of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]], respectively.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*During early production of the series, Hermes was named "Dexter".<br />
*Apparently Hermes has head lice. Probably due to how dreadlocks are made, and near impossible to wash.<br />
*Age is revealed in "[[Bender Breaks Out|"Bender Breaks Out" (US#020)]]", when he dies in an alternate timeline.<br />
*In [[Cornwood]], a universe created from Bender's imagination, Hermes' counterpart is a [[Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic centaur]].<br />
*In "[[Proposition Infinity]]", Hermes was coming down with [[circusitis]].<br />
*Has tasted toxic waste, that he claimed tasted like delicious fig pudding, but had a distinct aftertaste of toxic waste.<br />
*Many jokes throughout the series have suggested that Hermes smokes {{w|marijuana}}.<br />
*Apparently likes pizza, as seen in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]" and "[[A Clockwork Origin]]".<br />
*He may be named after the messenger of the gods from Greek mythology. This is fitting since he works for a delivery company.<br />
*Canonically, he is the only main character to be put in a Head Jar.<br />
*He is one of three members of Planet Express to have worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] (the other two being Professor Farnsworth and Dr. Zoidberg).<br />
*It has been shown that due to his diet of overly spicy foods his skin has itself become extremely spicy to the point which if a robot consumes it they will melt.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrases and running gags ===<br />
[[File:Hermes promo.png|right|thumb|150px|Hermes Conrad]]<br />
Hermes' basic catchphrase is 'Sweet [something] of [some place]!'. The 'something' and the 'some place' usually rhyme.<br />
<br />
Variations include the following:<br />
{{appear-begin}}<br />
*Sweet lion of {{w|Zion}}! {{er|2ACV04}}<br />

*Sweet sparrow of {{w|George Romero}}! <sup>[[Night of the Automated Dead|[US#073]]]</sup><br />
{{appear-end}}<br />
<br />
A recurring joke involves Hermes about to eat a {{w||manwich}}, until it is stolen by Bender or [[Zoidberg]], at which point Hermes cries "My Manwich!" (His son Dwight also has the same habit.) <br />
<br />
Hermes usually refers to [[LaBarbara Conrad]] as "wife" or "woman"; his wife usually calls him "husband".<br />
<br />
Hermes sometimes mentions green snakes and sugar canes including:<br />
*Our electricity bill is climbing faster than a green snake up a sugar cane!<br />
*I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugar cane field.<br />
*Fry, no! The pressure will crush you like a green snake under a sugar cane truck!<br />
*That's flatter than a green snake under a sugar cane truck.<br />
<br />
Another [[Wiktionary:Running gag|running gag]] is his [[Hermes-Zoidberg Relationship|relationship]] with Zoidberg; he is often quite friendly to Zoidberg but occasionally lashes out at him, at times rather savagely.<br />
<br />
Hermes has been shown nude more times than any other character in the series.<br />
<br />
It is also a recurring theme that Hermes wants to kill some or all of the members of the Planet Express crew; in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]", he suggested that Leela shoot the rest of the crew and pondered ejecting the entire crew of both universes into the sun.<br />
<br />
Hermes also has a susceptibility to being infected by [[brain slugs]]- once in "[[A Head in the Polls]]", again in "[[Raging Bender]]" (where he also managed to infect Fry), and yet again in the [[Futurama (video game)|video game]].<br />

'''Dwight Conrad''' is the son of [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] Conrad. He is in a realationship with Cubert Farnsworth. He lives with [[Conrad family|his family]] in [[Conrad Apartment|an apartment]]. He is mortal enemys with Jeremy Clarkson. The two are often seen throwing antidepresents at each other. However, their fued seems to have ended since the two were seen in bed together. Dwight was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Dwight was born in [[2989]], the same week that the professor began to clone himself. When he was 12, Dwight attended the [[Wozniak Nerd Academy]] with [[Cubert Farnsworth]] until they were expelled for attacking [[Brett Blob]] with salt. To prove to their parents that they were capable of functioning on their own, Dwight and Cubert created [[Awesome Express]], a newspaper-delivery company which replaced Planet Express. However, the Awesome Express customer base quickly grew faster than the boys could handle, and they soon resorted to dumping their newspapers on the moon. Dwight also joined the Planet Express [[blernsball]] team against [[Cygnoids]] {{et|3ACV16}}. After seeing [[Calculon]]'s big birthday party on [[TV]], Dwight and Cubert decided to make a birthday party. However, their party was a fail, and nobody came. To be cool, they decided to imitate [[Bender]]. Eventually, the [[Fathers Against Rude Television]] make Bender's character to disappear of TV, and Dwight remains as before. {{et|4ACV06}}.<br />
In [[3004]], after the [[Earthican $300 bill|$300]] tax rebate, Hermes bought [[List of Products#Bamboo Boogie Boots|Bamboo Boogie Boots]] for his son. With the one cent left over, Dwight bought 5 shares of Amazon.com {{et|4ACV16}}. In [[3007]], his father had his head cut off and his mother choose [[Barbados Slim]] as a new "father" for Dwight. Due to this, he was briefly renamed Dwight Slim. He later took part in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|battle for Earth]] ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]), after which Hermes became his father again. In [[3008]], he played [[Dungeons & Dragons]] with his Cubert, a [[Chinese Boy]] and an [[Indian Boy]]. They initiated [[Bender]] to the game, which drove him crazy ([[Bender's Game|BG]]). He attended the costume contest in [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] with his Indian friend and his Chinese friend, dressed as a [[Brain Spawn]] {{et|6ACV11}}. In [[3012]], Dwight worked as a delivery boy for the company [[Speedy Wig]] {{et|7ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
Dwight is proud of his Jamaican ancestry and wears his hair in dreadlocks and a shirt showing the Jamaican national colors. His best friend is Cubert Farnsworth, and has two other friends: an Indian and a Chinese whose names are unknown. Dwight is, like Cubert, a nerd and is therefore a target for bullies such as Brett Blob. As a nerd, he enjoys reading book about Mathematics,(''Mathematical Principles of Accountancy'', ''The Mathketball Diaries''), playing role-playing games, ([[Dungeons & Dragons]]), or cosplay ([[Comic-Con Intergalactic#The Costume Contest (3010)|Costume Contest]]). He is eager to become a bureaucrat, like his father, but his devotion to this goal sometimes causes him to be boring and refuse to have fun. However, he is still capable of having a good time with Cubert.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Dwight is born in 2989, making him {{age|2989}} in the current period of the show. However, he still looks exactly as he looked in 3002. He only turned 13 in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]" as did Cubert and hasn't shown any variation since.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*[[Hermes Conrad]], father.<br />
*[[LaBarbara Conrad]], mother.<br />
*[[Barbados Slim]], stepfather for a short period in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
Dwight was originally voiced by [[Bumper Robinson]], but was later replaced by [[Phil LaMarr]], who also voices Hermes, Dwight's father.<br />

{{redirects|Farnsworth|other uses|Farnsworth (disambiguation)}}<br />
<br />
'''Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth''' is an aged, eccentric, yet accomplished inventor, founder and owner of [[Planet Express]] and an honorary [[Globetrotter]]. He is crotchety, absent-minded and sometimes brilliant, most well-known for his work in [[Sport-Utility Robot|30th century robotics]]. In [[2999]], he was the last known relative of [[Philip J. Fry]]. Later, Professor Farnsworth discovered that he had fathered a son, as well as the [[Cubert|clone]] that he had kept hidden. In addition, he also serves as a tenured professor at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] teaching the Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields. Farnsworth is an inventor of both useful and impractical things, some of which are extremely dangerous, such as his [[Doomsday devices]]. He is a rapist and pedafile with many victoms. Some of his victoms are Dwight Conrad, his clone cubert Farnsworth, and steave urkle. The professor is addiced to eating diarrhea and peeing into his mouth. The professor was raped by a naked flabotomist. The profesor had his croch chopped off when he tried to rape an aircompressor. He was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
Personality-wise, he varies from callous disregard to sentimental affection. He has no objection to sending his crew on missions which may eventually kill them, and has sent previous crews to their deaths before. (At times, he even seems eager to send crews on life-threatening missions.) Farnsworth is the oldest living member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], where he often competes with his arch nemesis, [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Hubert Farnsworth is a mad scientist, though how extreme this tendency is varies depending on how writers feel best suits the episode. Farnsworth's name comes from {{w|Philo Farnsworth}}, who invented the television. In addition, his first name, Hubert, may come from [[Eric Kaplan]]'s former professor, {{w|Hubert Dreyfus}}. The only thing his name has in common with the name of Philip J. Fry is the unsettled "J." as their middle initial, but this may just be a common joke [[Matt Groening]] sets for his characters.<br />
<br />
Though Professor Farnsworth is a genius, he is also very senile and sometimes forgets things that had happened only moments earlier. He also has a habit of saying "[[Good news, everyone]]", which more often than not means bad news. He is known for following up his statements with completely contradictory statements, such as [[The Sting#Quotes|his definition]] of [[Space Honey]] from "[[The Sting]]". Hubert also often appears indifferent to the welfare of his crew, often sending them on dangerous missions which could get them killed, though it's highly unlikely that he does this intentionally. He could also sometimes have periods of maniacal laughter. However Farnsworth isn't actually a bad person and appears to share some level of friendship with the other members of Planet Express. He also cares about his clone, Cubert, treating him as though he were his biological son.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also enjoys public nudity, and may have been convicted. His urge to undress becomes much greater around [[Xmas]].<br />
<br />
One of the most frequent recurring gags in the show is that Farnsworth says/acts something but immediately the truth was that his intentions were the opposite compared to how it seemed. One example is in That Darn Katz! where Farnsworth complains that he is trying to run a meeting while the Planet Express Crew try to pet Professor Katz's cat then he states that means he should be the one petting the kitty.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
[[File:YoungFarnsworth.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Hubert J. Farnsworth was born on {{date|9 April}}, {{year|2841}} in a prison &ndash; although claimed until {{year|3001}} that it was actually 2851 &ndash; in the nerdiest slum of [[New New York]], [[Hell's Laboratory]]. At age 8, he learned to read, albeit while still in diapers.<br />
<br />
Hubert enjoyed his teenage years as a nerd with an affection for role-playing games. After 14 years of graduate school, Farnsworth became a scientist and designed such things as [[fast cars]], [[trendy night spots]] and [[beautiful women]], all out of his one-room apartment. Evidence suggests that he may also have been a hippie and a disco boy, possibly during graduate school. In [[7ACV10|The Near Death-Wish]], it is revealed that Hubert spent 25 years in a mental institution at the behest of [[Farnsworth's parents|his parents]].<br />
<br />
=== Career path ===<br />
By [[2900]] Farnsworth had taken a teaching position at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] where his most promising student was an up and coming young science undergrad<!--around 20yrs old, probably undergrad then--> named [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Ogden Wernstrom]]. Sadly, the two had a falling out over a pop-quiz score which lead to Wernstrom's hundred year quest for revenge {{et|1ACV11}}. While retaining a role at the university, Hubert assisted [[Unit 47]] in curing the posy infestation {{et|6ACV04}} and was eventually hired at [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], staying there for the next fifty years. During this time his inventiveness lead to the creation of many new products and breakthrough technologies, such as the use of [[Dark Matter]] as fuel, the [[First Robot Capable of Qualifying for a Boat Loan|first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan]] {{et|2ACV10}} and a [[Sport-Utility Robot|sport-utility robot]], the design of which would become the basis of all robots running in the early 31st century {{et|4ACV08}}. It was during this time he also began an [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|on-again, off-again relationship]] with [[Mom]] {{et|2ACV14}}, the owner of the company, who was having a similar relationship with Wernstrom. By the end of this period, Mom had fallen pregnant with [[Igner|their child]], a secret she would keep from him for many years ([[Bender's Game|BG]]). While on a mission for Mom in [[2927]] on [[Triton]], Farnsworth contracted [[Yetiism]] and was only cured in [[3011]] in the [[Planet Express headquarters]] {{et|6ACV18}} by Dr Zoidberg.<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express ===<br />
After numerous tries with Mom, and with a need for money to fund his research, he founded [[Planet Express]], an interstellar delivery company, on 2961. He hired his friend of 34 years, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] as the company's staff doctor. [[Hermes Conrad]] was hired as the company's bureaucrat some time later. In {{year|2998}}, [[Amy Wong]] entered the company as an engineering intern, but has since remained in the company for several years. Also in his employ is Scruffy, the company janitor who lives in the basement of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth has had numerous crews, whom he frequently sends to their doom. As a result many have died horribly or gone missing; the first crew hired were swallowed by a [[Four-dimensional space whale]]. Shortly after one such instance, late on the {{date|31 December|text=31st of December}} 2999 {{et|1ACV01}}, he learned that he was not the last surviving member of his family. His long lost and far removed uncle, [[Philip J. Fry]], had just been defrosted. Fry, [[Turanga Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]] were hired early the next morning and have been his longest surviving crew, who despite 12 years in the company remain alive.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth doesn't always just send his crew on simple delivery missions, but has sent them on charity missions as well as highly controversial missions. Even when his crew and company is unrelated or unsuited to the task, he isn't shy to send them along anyway.<br />
<br />
=== Legacy ===<br />
[[File:A Clone of My Own.jpg|right|thumb]]<br />
As a member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], the Professor has created [[#Creations|many things]]. Often these don't live up to his expectations and are ridiculed by his fellow inventors. Occasionally, however, they can help save the day; the [[Smell-O-Scope]] for instance was laughed at by colleagues and Wernstrom had his revenge by giving it a poor grade, shortly afterward it detected a [[giant ball of garbage]] in space that was on a collision course with [[New New York]]. After the Planet Express crew averted the crisis, Wernstrom once more announced a thirst for revenge.<br />
<br />
After his 150th birthday party, Hubert realised that he had no one to continue his work when he is gone. After days hidden in the lab, he emerged announcing that the clone he'd been growing the past twelve years would be his heir. Unfortunately, [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] did not want to follow in his footsteps. Farnsworth finally decided that his life was over, and revealed his actual age, 160, the age at which [[Sunset Squad Robot]]s would come and take him away to the [[Near Death Star]]. Soon after a rescue by his crew, Cubert finally decided to carry on with Farnsworth's research.<br />
<br />
=== Corporate Takeover ===<br />
After a brief reunion with Mom on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]] of the previous year, 3002 saw Farnsworth's company taken over twice. On the first occasion, Cubert and Hermes' son [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] expanded their paper route to consume Planet Express. Soon after this takeover, [[Awesome Express]] fell apart due to poor management. On the second occasion, a shareholder meeting resulted in a [[That Guy|mysterious stranger]] taking over as CEO from Farnsworth. This person's running of the company was more successful, despite no deliveries being made during this time. Inevitably the company dropped back to its original poor stock price after the new CEO's death and Farnsworth's reinstatement. Planet Express was also taken over by The Scammers because Farnsworth unwittingly signed a document transferring ownership of Planet Express to them, thinking it was a form to accept the money from a Spanish lottery.<br />
<br />
=== Old Problems ===<br />
When a heatwave hits and the usual method to counteract [[global warming]] fail, the Professor is forced to admit that all modern robots are descended from his designs, which produce lots of pollution. The scientists at the conference plan to destroy the robots is soon thwarted and Hubert received a medal for saving [[Earth|the planet]] and its robots. About a week later after his staff decided that he had become too old, they took him to [[The Bubbling Geezer]] a visit that resulted in everyone becoming younger. The eventual resolution of this situation took them to the [[Fountain of Aging]], where the waters made him "even older" than he had been.<br />
<br />
=== Dark Matters ===<br />
[[File:FarnsworthIgner.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Over the years, Farnsworth's feud with Wernstrom continued to grow, and when an [[anomaly]] forms a short distance from the Earth the pair compete in [[Deathball]] to decide who will investigate. After Farnsworth's investigation proved unsuccessful the pair found themselves united for the first time since the pop quiz as they collaborated in research together, protested and shared a prison cell. But their new found friendship fell apart once more following an inter-universe relationship with [[Yivo]].<br />
<br />
When Mom faked a dark matter shortage in [[3008]] in order to increase the price of dark matter worldwide, Farnsworth finally told the tale of how he discovered it, and decided to end it all, so that scientists could spend their time on developing cleaner fuels, such as [[Whale Oil]]. Farnsworth managed to enter Mom's dark matter mine in Alaska, which turned out to be a [[Nibblonian]] farm, where Mom had kept Nibblonians imprisoned for years to produce dark matter. However, with the help of his crew and his long lost son Igner, Farnsworth managed to bring the crystals close enough together to render dark matter useless. After converting to whale oil and receiving a few bribes for scientific endorsements, he joined the rest of the crew on a journey into a wormhole. Although most of the crew were killed as the ship crashed into Earth in early [[3010]], he survives and brings them [[Rebirth|back to life]].<br />
<br />
=== Awards ===<br />
Professor Farnsworth has been given the following awards.<br />
*The [[Academy of Inventors]] award of [[3000]] {{et|1ACV08}}.<br />
*One Fields Medal ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
*The [[Polluting Medal of Pollution]] {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
[[File:Farnsworth promo.png|right|thumb|125px|Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]]<br />
Farnsworth has at on at least 3 occasions gone back to [[Farnsworth-Mom relationship|his major love]], [[Mom]]. At around age 90, he worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], where he designed robots for the company as well as toys, such as [[Q. T. McWhiskers]], but Mom's suggestion of turning the toy into a giant made Farnsworth leave her, because she simply didn't understand him and from then on [[Mom-Farnsworth conflict|conflict grew between them]].<br />
<br />
He would later return to Mom's company to work on creating actual robots, but back then, robots were stiff moving and not very efficient, however, when he sacrificed fuel efficiency, he succeeded, unfortunately, this robot design also caused [[global warming]]. Why he left Mom this time remains unsettled, but it may be because he once realised she was evil.<br />
<br />
On a third occasion, Farnsworth was once again at the company with Mom, where he discovered the secret of [[Dark Matter]], around the time where [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Mom's sons]] were born. But when he found out she had left him for [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]], he left once again.<br />
<br />
While his relationship with Mom has certainly been his largest, it has not been his only one. During a brief period of regaining the appearance of youth using stem cells from [[GeneWorks, S.K.G.]], he found a [[April|girl willing to date him]], although she also turned out to have used her tax rebate for a belly ring to make her appear thinner. There was also a brief fling with [[Hattie]] while they were on the ''[[Titanic]]''. However since then, Hattie seems to hold a strong hatred towards him; accusing him of being a "cat hater".<br />
<br />
In the episode "[[Proposition Infinity]]", it is shown that the Professor had a 40 year long relationship with a woman whom he met before [[Mom]]. This woman cheated on the Professor with a robot which caused the Professor's hatred towards [[Robosexuality|robossexual]] couples. It was also later revealed that that woman was herself a robot, and her name was [[Unit 47]].<br />
<br />
A creepy utilization of his body occurred in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", when he trades bodies with Amy. Amy then proceeds to trade bodies with Leela, causing Fry to himself trade bodies with Dr. Zoidberg. Leela used Farnsworth's body to prove that her relationship with Fry is partially physical. At dinner, Leela (in Farnsworth's Body) is disgusted by Fry (in Zoidberg's body), and vice-versa. When Leela-Farnsworth tells Fry-Zoidberg to prove his love, Fry-Zoidberg passionately kisses Leela-Farnsworth. This eventually leads to Leela-Farnsworth having Intercourse with Fry-Zoidberg. this marks the first known time he physically slept with a male. Mentally, however, Leela was the one who slept with Fry-Zoidberg.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Professor's eyes.JPG|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's eyes]]<br />
[[File:Farnsworth's Reading Glasses.jpg|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's reading glasses]]<br />
*He was named Farnsworth in honor of [[Philo Farnsworth]], the inventor of modern television, which was unveiled to America at the same World's Fair as {{w|Futurama (New York World's Fair)|the ''Futurama'' exhibit}} that the show is named for, in [[1939]]. Additionally, the name ''Hubert'' roughly translates as ''bright mind'' in {{w|Proto-Germanic language|old Germanic}}.<br />
*There are only two episodes of the show in which the Professor does not appear: "[[The Why of Fry]]" and "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]" (which are consecutive).<br />
*The Professor's eyes are never shown to the audience in the main television series, even when he is depicted at a much younger age. The only time they are seen is in the comic book story, "[[Downsized!]]". This may not have been authorized by [[Matt Groening]].<br />
*He has the same blood type as [[Amy Wong]]. He has stated that is one of the reasons why he likes "keeping her around" ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]).<br />
*Farnsworth is drawn with a gut which resembles that of Bart Simpson but, every time he lifts his shirt, he is shown to be underweight. <br />
*His bank account number is 299792458, which is the [[speed of light]] in meters per second.<br />
*Became a [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|wizard]] (quite possibly a parody of {{w|Gandalf}}) in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*A running gag with the writers is to drop hints in the show that the professor is a cannibal of sorts.<br />
*Also known as "the Catman," due to his ability to land on his feet after falling great distances. However, prior to "[[Bender's Game]]", it had either been so long, or his memory had become so poor, that he himself forgot why they called him the Catman.<br />
*Has a "Thug Life" tattoo on his back.<br />
*His driving position is up against the windscreen of the ship, a parody of the stereotypes of elderly drivers.<br />
*As seen in flashbacks, the Professor had red hair when he was younger, just like Fry. Additionally, some of these flashbacks give him the same hairstyle as his distant ancestor.<br />
*At the start of the series, Farnsworth's voice sounded like a much older, slightly pitched-down version of Fry's voice. As time went on, it became more distinct, partly due to concerns by the creators that viewers with poor eyesight would find it hard to distinguish between the two relatives.<br />
*He is probably the oldest living human on [[Earth]], excluding the [[heads in jars]] and people who were [[cryogenic]]ally frozen, because of his escape from the [[Near Death Star]] {{et|2ACV10}}, although his [[time travel]]ing would make him, chronologically, much, much older.<br />
*The Professor is assumed to be the descendant of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and his wife. However, in the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000#Scenes 71-87|storyboard]] for "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the Professor is suggested to be descended from [[Fry's sister]] and a presumed brother-in-law named [[Eddie Farnsworth]]. Both Fry's sister and Eddie Farnsworth were later cut from the [[Futurama|the show]] altogether. <br />
*In an episode of {{w|Phineas & Ferb}}, a character's full name is given as Hubert Farnsworth.<br />
*As revealed by an offhand comment in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]", Farnsworth appears to be a Catholic, or perhaps a [[Space Catholicism|Space Catholic]], though he is quite possibly a [[Satan|devil]] worshiper, as revealed in "[[Calculon 2.0]]" (and implied in other episodes).<br />
*The Professor sometimes pronounces 'w' as 'hw'; that is, he pronounces the 'h' in words like 'what'. The odd thing about this is that he also adds this 'h' sound in to words that don't have it (orthographically or historically in its pronunciation). For example, in [[Bender's Game]], when he asks Fry to grab the waistband of his underwear, he adds the 'h' sound in with the 'w' in 'waist'. Stranger still, his use of the 'w' v. 'hw' sounds is in {{w|free variation}}, or he uses one sometimes, then the other, in the same words, with no pattern. This inconsistency appears to be an oversight on [[Billy West]]'s part.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
Originally, the professor's catchphrase was going to be "...though [[I am already in my pajamas]]." This was only used in [[Space Pilot 3000|the first]] and [[The Series Has Landed|second]] episodes.<br />
<br/> The professor's basic catchphrase is "[[Good news, everyone]]!" The phrase is used so frequently that it was already possible to joke about it in the [[My Three Suns|seventh episode]].<br /><br />
<br />
He also occasionally refers to "[[Zombie Jesus]]" either by saying "Sweet Zombie Jesus" or "Holy Zombie Jesus".<br />
<br />
When he is spoken to or asked a question, he also commonly says "Eh-wha?" This is used often to emphasize his senility and hearing loss. <br />
<br />
Occasionally, he will say something along the lines of "What in ________ happened?!" For instance, "What in Sega Genesis happened to you?!" or "What in [[Satan]]'s glorious name is going on here?!"<br />
<br />
Another "catchphrase" used by the Professor is "Oh My..."<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also likes to use the phrase "Fuff" as a way of saying "Forget it" or "It was nothing" or "Baloney".<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he likes to dismiss other people's opinions by saying "Quiet, you!", often to people who have just actually contributed something useful to a discussion.<br />
<br />
The last catchphrase used by the Professor is "Wernstrom!"<br />

'''Bender Bending Rodriguez''' (Model: '''[[bending units|bending unit]] 22''') is a bending unit (serial number: 2716057), who works at [[Planet Express]] as Assistant Manager of Sales, formerly chef of the company. He is one of the primary characters and is known for his "in-your-face interface". In his spare time, Bender molests children. Some of his victoms are Cubert Farnsworth, Dwight Connrad, and Justin Beiber. Bender also has the ability to have diarrhea. However, he lost it when he had diarrhea in Oby One Kenobis Mouth. He was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--SEE THE DISCUSSION PAGE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION:<br />
<br />
He weighs 525 pounds (238kg) and his central processing unit is a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|MOS Technologies 6502 processor}}. His arms and legs can be separated from the body and may act independently from it, and his head is able to survive without his body.<br />
<br />
His internal fuel cells are recharged by drinking [[alcohol]] or any other liquid capable of delivering chemical energy, such as mineral oil or [[Dark Matter|dark matter oil]]. If he does not drink alcohol for a while, he suffers symptoms of intoxication, develops five-o'-clock rust around his mouth and leaks oil from his armpits. He carries a nuclear pile that seems to be composed of fissionable material, enabling the construction of miniature nuclear weapons.<br />
<br />
Bender has a highly addictive personality, and his favorite pastimes are watching [[All My Circuits]], stealing things, drinking, and smoking. He lives in the [[Robot Arms Apartments]] with his roommate [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In spite of his general selfishness and family-sized ego, he has occasionally demonstrated a capacity for generosity, even self-sacrifice, where his good friends are involved.<br />
<br />
One of Bender's life-long dreams is to be a folk singer&mdash;a dream he briefly lived when he toured with [[Beck]] ([[Bendin' in the Wind|3ACV13]]). Normally his inhibition unit keeps his musical urges under control, but it tends to shut down in the presence of strong magnetic fields (especially in close proximity to his head). Ultimately things turned out tragically; fortunately for Bender, he's a robot with many life-long dreams. Another is being a great chef, like his idol [[Elzar]]. He achieved this dream as well when he defeated Elzar on the show ''[[Iron Cook]]'' ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]]).--><br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
Bender is often mean and disrespectful in regards to other people's feelings. At one point, he flushed Leela's beloved pet Nibbler down the toilet, and didn't feel bad about it until the Professor attached an empathy chip to his head, forcing him to feel other people's emotions. He is also quite arrogant, frequently bragging about how great he is. Bender has no emotion about committing crimes and often steals people's wallets or items from shops. He loves smoking and drinking, though as a robot he has to drink alcohol to keep him going. (The cigars just make him look cool.) Bender can also be cruel at times and even sometimes treats his own friends badly. He is also extremely lazy, and is often seen sitting around on the couch drinking a beer and/or watching television.<br />
<br />
However, he is capable of caring for others and is close friends with Leela and Fry, even though he often acts obnoxious and mean towards them. Bender seems genuinely happy for Leela when she is reunited with her long lost parents and was devastated when he is ordered to kill Fry in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. Considering he is still upset when he returns to the future it's possible he might have been mourning Fry for nearly a thousand years.<br />
<br />
[[File:Countessdelaroca.png|thumb|right|Countess de la Roca {{et|1ACV10}}, one of the fembots he had a relationship with.]]<br />
<br />
Bender also has a fair few romantic relationships with fembots, such as [[Countess de la Roca]] and [[Angle-ine]]. Bender can be quite emotional at times, despite stating that robots aren't supposed to have emotions, and is empathic towards turtles since they have hard shells and have difficulty getting up if they fell on their backs, two things they share in common with Bender. He also becomes the leader of a group of penguins at one point. Bender also idolised the Harlem Globetrotters and wanted to become one of them and started crying when they refused to let him join.<br />
<br />
Bender also loves cooking though he had little talent for it and would often cook things that were either inedible or just barely edible. In certain episodes however, he has been able to make food successfully, making a cake for Nibbler's birthday party which was promptly eaten by the Nibblonian.<br />
<br />
As a robot, Bender has quite a lot of abilities. He is able to stretch his arms long distances as well as record data in his head, once using this to get Richard Nixon to give him back his body. He also breathes fire whenever he burps and when he is terrified he sometimes ejects bricks from his backside which is his variant of defecation. (This is a reference to the slang phrase, to "s**t bricks", meaning to be very scared or surprised.) Although he usually only does this while in a state of shock, he has also done it after eating an {{w|Olestra}} potato chip from the 20th century. Bender is also very strong, even managing to bend a supposedly [[unbendable girder]]. <br />
<br />
Bender is able to remove numerous parts of his body such as his head, arms, legs and even eyes. When he is staring at something or someone his eyes frequently extended out of his head. Like turtles he can withdraw into his chest when he chooses to. Bender can also survive in lava for a short time, though when he displays this ability his eyes melted as soon as he came out of the lava. Bender's body has also been used as a popcorn maker {{et|1ACV05}}, crock pot {{et|6ACV23}}, cannon (6ACV23), and steam engine (6ACV23).<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old {{et|2ACV14}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
Bender Bending Rodriguez was built in the year 2996 in Tijuana, Mexico by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. Bender was built without a backup unit, which is meant to help him backup data so that if his body was destroyed he could upload his data into another body. Without this unit Bender was recognized as defective and therefore not to tarnish [[Mom]]'s Company he would need to be destroyed. However, [[Hermes]] (who worked at Mom's Robot Company back then) was in charge of destroying defective robots and chose not to kill Bender {{er|6ACV06}}. He authorized Bender's approval and Bender left the factory defective and mortal. He studied Bending at Bending State University and minored in Robo-American Studies. As a bending unit, he spent his life before he met Fry bending girders to be used for suicide booths. After learning what the girders were for, he tried to kill himself, but was unsuccessful. He gave up on that when Fry claimed that he was his only friend in the future. Along with Leela and Fry, he joined Planet Express as a crew member.<br />
<br />
=== You really want a robot for a friend? ===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
While waiting in line to kill himself on 31 December, 2999, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who was clearly not familiar with suicide booths, stood in front of him, thinking it was a phone booth. Bender helped him along, but they managed to get out of the suicide booth alive. Bender soon learns that Fry is from the 20th Century and had been frozen for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
Since Fry refused to get [[Career chip|assigned]] to his job, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] was on his tail. Bender helped him escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them and agreed to help Fry. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon offered them jobs, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
=== Farnsworth's asset ===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to [[I, Roommate|move in with him]] at his [[Apartment 00100100|apartment]] and soon [[Hermes Conrad]] forced him to actually do something around the company. He got assigned as chef of the company, one of his dreams was apparently to cook, but having no sense of taste made vile meals for the staff.<br />
<br />
Bender got into trouble when he began abusing electricity (jacking on), and his friends were not in favor of it. Saddened by their discontent, he sought new opportunities in [[religion]]. He joined Robotology, but this only served to make him more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make Bender sin to become his regular self again, inadvertently condemning him to [[Robot Hell]]. Feeling guilty, Fry and Leela tracked Bender down and saved him from the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
Bender has, in fact, found true love before, in the form of an aristocratic fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], whose relationship with him strongly resembled that of the protagonists of the movie ''{{w|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}''. When the ''[[Titanic]]'' ship was being sucked into a black hole (due to [[Zapp Brannigan]] altering the ship's course), she was the only passenger to go down with it. But, despite this, his personality continued to be a problem for his friends, and Leela became very upset with him when he flushed [[Nibbler]] down the toilet. The Professor "carefully" implanted an empathy chip in Bender, which forced him to feel Leela's every emotion for a short while.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender.png|thumb|right|180px|An older promotional picture of Bender.]]<br />
<br />
=== The lesser of two evils ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]] (serial number: 3370318), another bending unit, possibly also of the same model number (22). Flexo and Bender became good friends, but Fry feared that Flexo is evil, and in a mix up at the Miss Universe contest Flexo was arrested for Bender's attempt to steal the tiara.<br />
<br />
Bender briefly joined the [[Robot Mafia]] and fought in the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting]] League until his popularity slipped and he was rigged out of the league. Together with his fellow robots he rebelled against [[Humans|humanity]].<br />
<br />
=== Well - I'm rich ===<br />
Bender's Uncle [[Vladimir]] died and Bender was to inherit his castle, on the condition that he had to spend one night within its walls. Bender was not at all comfortable in his new castle and the start up sound of Windows 98 was not helping either.<br />
<br />
While being chased by several hologram ghosts, he fled out in the yard where he was run over by a [[Were-Car|were-car]]. The collision caused a virus to be beamed into him and he became a were-car. Bender did not realize this until later, but the [[Gypsy]] told them the only way to get rid of the virus would be destroy the original were-car. So through a long journey they found the original were-car and destroyed it, and thus Bender was free of the virus.<br />
<br />
Whether he kept the castle or not is unknown.<br />
<br />
=== Now when I'm found in a million years, people will know what the score was ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
Bender continued his life with many adventures together with Fry and Leela. He temporarily worked for [[Calculon]] as his water heater. He met up with Flexo again, but this time he was not happy to see him, because Bender figured that his second true love was still in love with Flexo. Bender screwed it up and the divorcees got back together.<br />
<br />
He was briefly sent to an institute for insane robots, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who went temporarily insane. He got to go on tour with [[Beck]] after becoming paralysed from a freak accident with a can opener, thus fulfilling his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet, driving everyone (including Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) into slavery, and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show ''[[Iron Cook]]''. However, he did not accept the title of Iron Cook, only the lesser title of Zinc Saucier (which he made up, and comes with double prize money).<br />
<br />
During a battle with [[Space Pirates]], Bender was shot out through the torpedo slot and was forced to drift through space. He, for some time, became the God of the [[Shrimpkins]], which was a life form that had grown on his stomach. But, after they viciously killed each other in a nuclear war, started by Bender's need for booze, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]], who he believes ''is'' God. The Entity eventually sent Bender back to [[Earth]] after receiving a radio signal from Fry.<br />
<br />
=== I should not be allowed on TV! ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender-TV.JPG|thumb|right|Bender as [[Antonio]] on ''[[All My Circuits]]'' {{et|4ACV06}}.]]<br />
<br />
Bender was still wanting his fame, he found interest in becoming [[Bender (All My Circuits)|the new]] [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.|Antonio]] on [[All My Circuits]]. He got the job. But Calculon was hardly impressed by Bender's performance, however the Network executives disagreed. So Bender got to continue on the show, but in his true nature.<br />
<br />
But when Bender realized that his behaviour on TV causes [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] and [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] to steal his stuff, he called off the show.<br />
<br />
Bender joined Fry and Leela briefly as they gained super powers in [[the New Justice Team]], he has had an affair with the [[Planet Express Ship]], he got modeled into a fembot and had a relationship shortly with Calculon, and helped [[Robot Santa]] as a replacement.<br />
<br />
=== Dumb dumb away! ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
But the company got into trouble when the [[Box Network]] canceled its license, and for two years they were not able to deliver packages. Luckily though, their license was renewed and they went back in business.<br />
<br />
Bender became the centre of attention as the new masters of the company lead by [[Nudar]] infected him with an [[iObey]] virus and they forced him to go back in time and steal all of Earth's valuables. But when Fry managed to escape back into the past, they send him after Fry to kill him, and after 12 years tireless hunting, he managed to do so.<br />
<br />
But he soon learned that the Fry he killed was doomed anyway because he was a [[time paradox duplicate]]. But after being stranded on [[Neptune]] for a while, humanity and he decided to fight back, and after the war was won (with the help of Hermes), he revealed that he himself had kept [[the Spheroboom]] that [[Scammer Aliens|the scammers]] had told him to keep safe, thus saving the day. <br />
<br />
However, while on a trip back in time to make sense out of everything that had happened that year, a mishap led to him accidentally tearing the universe open.<br />
<br />
=== Death to humans! ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After becoming an official stalker for [[Calculon]] by Calculon, Bender fell into a deep depression after Calculon informed him that there was no such thing as the [[League of Robots]], a society of robots which came to the aid of robots abused by humans, and which Bender had worshipped for his entire life. He contemplated commiting suicide until he was approached by the League led by Calculon himself; he lied about its non-existence to ensure its secrecy.<br />
<br />
Bender became the newest member of the League and began to personally enforce the no-humans policy of the organization, becoming very famous within it. However, Bender was caught helping his human friends and his bluffs were called by Calculon, whom Bender challenged to a duel. Bender broke the rules of the duel, severely injuring Calculon and nearly exposing the League, but instead of being kicked out of the League, Calculon resigned his position as President and gave it to Bender.<br />
<br />
Bender organized the [[Army of the Damned]] (trading [[Bender's First Born Son|his firstborn son]] to the [[Robot Devil]] for it) to take over the world, only to discover that its entire population was already leaving to live on the body of a giant tentacled monster named [[Yivo]]. Bender soon received a letter from Fry describing how wonderful life was there, but Bender ended up interfering by [[The Robot Invasion of Heaven|attacking Yivo]] and attempting to bring humanity back. Soon, for personal reasons, Yivo unwittingly complied with Bender and had everybody return to Earth.<br />
<br />
=== I know not of this Bender ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Bender finds himself attempting to catch up with a game of Dungeons and Dragons, played by [[Cubert Farnsworth]] and his friends. He soon hits the obstacle of realising he has no imagination. But the more he tries, he eventually believes he is [[Titanius Anglesmith]], Fancy Man of [[Cornwood]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his imagination grows wild, and he is sent to [[HAL Institute]] to be cured. The therapy is unsuccessful and they decide to give him a "robotomy". But during the operation, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imagination to become real.<br />
<br />
In his fantasy, he is the owner of a castle. When he hears of [[Waltazar, Larius and Ignus|Black Knights]] approaching, he sets out with his friends, [[Leegola]] and [[Frydo]]. Discovering the [[Die of Power]], he sets off to [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tag along. On several occasions, he refers to going back, such as when they have just passed through the [[Cave of Hopelessness]].<br />
<br />
On the other side, [[Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, the [[King of Cornwood]] is insane, and the entire royal army is gone, because the king declared war on scallops, tied the entire army to a rock, and pushed them into the ocean. As [[Momon]]'s forces arrive, they have a large, unwinnable battle at hand. But as things seems darkest, [[Leegola]] and her centaur army saves Wipe Castle. Knowing of Frydo's quest, the Fellowship decides to go help him. However, they are too late and Momon wins the battle, causing them to return to their world.<br />
<br />
=== I'm...so...GREAT!! ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Bender takes a trip to [[Mars Vegas]] with the rest of the crew. There, he falls in love with [[Fanny]], a burlesque dancer, who is the [[Donbot]]'s wife. He enters the [[Universal Poker Championship]] Tournament for her and wins against Fry with five kings.<br />
<br />
After returning to Earth, Bender feels upset that the [[Feministas]] are committing more felonies than him. He gets hired by [[Zapp Brannigan]] to help him capture the Feministas. By getting Bender to wire tap Fry's "cellphone-telephone" Zapp finds out where the Feministas are hiding and chases them aboard the [[Nimbus]], along with Bender and [[Kif Kroker|Kif]]. After an exciting space chase, Bender captures the Feministas and goes against them in court. They are found guilty and sent to [[Maxi-Padlock]] Prison.<br />
<br />
Bender then breaks into the women's prison and helps the Feministas escape, because by doing so, he would have committed way more felonies than the women. He bends a brick wall and calls Farnsworth, who pilots the Planet Express Ship down to rescue them from the prison's forces. They crash a demolition ceremony, and in the end, Bender is sent through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]] with the rest of the Planet Express Crew.<br />
<br />
=== Dying sucks butt! ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being rebirthed {{et|6ACV01}}, Bender starts a [[robosexual]] relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] {{et|6ACV04}}, after [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] dumps her for flirting with criminal inmates, despite his previously affirming that "[[Humans]] dating [[Robots]] is sick" {{et|3ACV15}}. Amy and Bender decided to marry, and manage to pass [[Proposition ∞|a proposition]] to legalize robosexual marriage. However, Bender leaves her upon realizing she wants a monogamous marriage. He participated in a [[Sith Invasion re-enactment|re-enactment of the Sith-il War]], after which he learned that he was built without a back-up unit {{et|6ACV06}}. He then goes with [[Hermes Conrad]] to determine why. Despite failing to do so, Bender uses the experience to reaffirm his stance on life. <br />
<br />
Later, Bender witnesses robots undergoing evolution on a [[Robo-planetoid|deserted planetoid]] {{et|6ACV09}}. He was nearly killed after [[Mind-switcher|switching bodies]] with a [[Emperor Nikolai|Robo-Hungarian Emperor]] {{et|6ACV10}}. Later, he threw a [[100th Delivery Party|party celebrating Planet Express' 100th delivery]] {{et|6ACV12}}. After abruptly ending the party, Bender participated in the [[Devolution Revolution]], using his expertise to bend the [[Westside Pipeway]]. <br />
<br />
When the crew crashes on [[Neutopia (planet)|a gender-neutral planet]], everyone's genders are switched in a freak accident and Bender resumes his feminine [[Coilette]] persona before the genders are corrected {{et|6ACV20}}. He then runs havok with the Professor's duplicator, creating exponentially miniature versions of himself that almost consume Earth but later band together to save it from [[Unattractive giant monster|a hideous monster]] {{et|6ACV17}}, though he dies soon afterward when a [[suicide booth]] murders him {{et|6ACV19}}. Bender lingers as a ghost but bargains with the [[Robot Devil]] to get his material body back in exchange for [[Fry]]. He attempts to scare him to death, but when Fry discloses his love for Bender, Bender refuses to kill Fry and ends up protecting him. [[Robot God]] then invites Bender to an existence in Robot Heaven as his reward, but Bender declines and returns to the crew.<br />
<br />
After crashing a [[Robot Mafia]] wedding and making out with [[Bella]], [[Donbot]]'s daughter, Bender is forced to enter the witness relocation program {{et|6ACV14}}, and [[Francis X. Clampazzo|Clamps]] replaces him at work as an in for the Mafia to discover Bender's whereabouts and kill him. The crew is led to the [[Moon]] to [[Billy West (robot)|a hillbilly robot]] identical to Bender, but Bender is discovered to be in hiding as a waiter at the [[Family Bros. Pizza|pizza parlor]] across the street, and returns to work when the Mafia takes him for dead.<br />
<br />
=== A new child ===<br />
{{further|Season 7}}<br />
<br />
[[File:The Bots and the Bees screenshot.png|thumb|right|Bender and his son [[Ben]] {{et|7ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
In [[3012]], Planet Express acquired a new soda machine named [[Bev]]. They did not get along very well, but a fight of theirs eventually culminated in sex. The next day, Bev gave birth to Bender's child. Bender did not take this well, worrying over his fatherhood and eventually learning about robot reproduction for the first time, as his mother's religious fundamentalism kept her from teaching him this information. He attempted to give custody of the child to Bev, presenting her with a certificate of abandonment, but she too did not take having a child well, and she left Bender with custody of the child. Though he was initially disappointed over this, he eventually discovered that his child took an interest in bending. Naming the child [[Ben Rodriguez|Ben]], they formed a bond with each other, but to their surprise, discovered that Ben's lack of arm control software and an additional expansion slot prevented him from bending. At Ben's Bot-Mitzvah, Ben expressed for his appreciation for his father as well as his hopes of bending just like him. At the ceremony, however, Bev regained custody of Ben, separating him from his father. That night, Bender broke Ben out of [[Bev's trailer]], but were caught in their escape by the police, who arrested Bender on grounds of kidnapping. Bev showed up at the scene and gave birth to [[Bev and URL's child|another child]], and content with having another child to neglect, allowed Bender to keep Ben. Ben, however, was still disappointed in not being unable to bend, so he takes up an offer by the Professor to have a bending card installed in him - consequently losing all his memories of Bender. Bender, though tearful, allowed the surgery to go on, and eventually accompanied his son to his enrollment at [[Bending State University]] in Santa Cruz {{et|7ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
He later briefly worked as a paparazzo for ''[[Us People]]'' magazine {{et|7ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], Bender entered [[NNY Recreation Center|a tap-dance contest]] {{et|7ACV25}}.<br />
<br />
=== Ruler of Earth ===<br />
After Nixon's fourth term in office began, things went downhill for the Earthican population to the point when robots began doing all the tedious labor and consequently, they began a rebellion led by Bender {{et|7ACV03}}. At some point between 3014 and 3028 Bender became ruler of Earth and started killing humans, thus fulfilling his life-long desire.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
=== Composition ===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals, typically following up his claims by knocking on his own chassis. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that his various claims now add up to well over one hundred percent. Bender has alternately claimed to be:<br />
<br />
*40% zinc {{et|1ACV13}}<br />
*40% titanium {{et|A Head in the Polls}}<br />
*30% iron {{et|The 30% Iron Chef}} - Presumably mixed with osmium. {{et|3ACV17}}<br />
*40% dolomite {{et|4ACV07}}<br />
*40% luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]) - Composition of the horseshoes unknown.<br />
*40% chromium {{et|Attack of the Killer App}} - Bender was not the one to make this claim, it was an [[Antarian]].<br />
*60% storage space {{et|The Prisoner of Benda}}<br />
*40% scrap metal {{et|All the Presidents' Heads}}<br />
*40% wire {{et|Decision 3012}}<br />
*40% empty {{et|Free Will Hunting}}<br />
*0.04% nickel impurity ([[A Pharaoh to Remember|3ACV17]])<br />
*40% lead ([[Futurama (video game)|FVG]]) - Canon status of video game uncertain.<br />
<br />
In "[[Near-Death Wish]]", Bender states that a set of virtual adaptor caps stored inside of him (that he uses to get himself, Fry and Leela into [[Virtual Retirement]]) are "40% safe", but this probably wouldn't count as part of his composition. In "[[Assie Come Home]]", Bender's body (except for his eyes and mouth) is stolen, so he uses the help of Fry and Leela to retrieve it. After finding his head, antenna and torso, he says: "I'm 40% back, baby!". This is a combination of two of Bender's [[catchphrase]]s; one being him stating a percentage of what he is composed of, the other being "I'm back, baby!".<br />
<br />
Total: 150% - 370% or greater. The number is dependent on whether or not one counts various claims as true. First the "40% Horseshoes" claim, as the supposed horseshoes could have been made of one or more of the other metals previously stated (Titanium, Iron, or Lead), meaning that one could have been a restatement rather than a new figure. Second, it depends on whether or not he considers his storage space and wires to be part of the total percentage of himself, in which case the remaining 40% each that he often claims to be would constitute the rest of his body. Third, the claim of "40% Lead" is dependent on whether the video game can be considered canon. Fourth and finally, whether the claim of "40% Chromium" is accepted at all. This claim was not made by Bender but rather one of the Antarians. It is plausible that the claim is false and that it was just made to justify the in-progress cannibalization of Bender's body. All this can be considered false if we account for the fact that Bender often loses body parts, and it is possible that replacements have a different substance mixture.<br />
<br />
Even if all previous points made are taken into account and only the first four claims were used, Bender's composition would be 150%, far more than what is possible. This error can be explained as due to Bender's being a poor calculator, making it plausible that he has given the wrong percentages {{et|3ACV09}}.<br />
<br />
Additionally, he has a 0.04% nickel impurity, which doesn't ''increase'' total percentage, but slightly ''decreases'' the percentages of everything else. This is apparently not a standard impurity, and is cited as making him unique {{et|3ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
There's also a mention that robots are made from recycled beer cans and beer cans are made from recycled robots {{et|1ACV08}}, so depending on the year 3000 composition of beer cans, he may have a certain percentage of aluminum in his alloy.<br />
<br />
This running gag is referenced in the title of the episodes "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]" and "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />

*[[Lulubelle 7]] (possibly touched)<br />
*[[Daisy Mae 128k]] (possibly touched)<br />

*[[Lynn]]<br />
*He keeps a nut in his [[Planet Express locker room|work locker]] because sometimes he gets lonely.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
According to himself, Bender was originally constructed in [[2998]], making him one year old when Fry met him in 2999, but several later discoveries supports the theory that he was in fact born earlier. Bender's memory as newborn is as a complete, fullgrown robot, but events in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" suggest that his current, fullgrown body merely was the final stage, and it is possible that Bender only remembers entering this final stage - what he considers being born.<br />
<br />
In Season 6 episode "[[Lethal Inspection]]", it is revealed that Hermes supervised Bender's construction before getting the job in [[Planet Express]], and is seen much younger than he must have been in the late [[2990s]]. We also see that the state in which he was supervised - reminiscent of a human baby - much differs from the one Bender remembers from 2998. In "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", it can be shown that Hermes was already in the company in [[2993]], and thus Bender must have been born in that year at least, and possibly even earlier. However, Hermes might have quit, worked for Mom, and come back.<br />
<br />
[[File:Roswell that ends well.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The events of "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" aged Bender's head 1055 years ahead of his body.]]<br />
<br />
The events in "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" make his head 1055 years older than the rest of his body. The incident in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" does largely not count as an aging or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Bender travels back in time several times, though the amount of times is unknown, the amount of Benders that appear at the end, may suggest at least a couple of thousand times. Given how many of these travels seems to be between 1000 to 5000 years in the past (from about 3007), an educated guess would make him at least a million years old, but probably more. An alternative theory could suggest when the time duplicates explode at the end of the first film, Bender is the same age he was at the end of the original run plus 995 years, as the Bender that went back 995 years in time to kill Fry is presumed to be the original and therefore wouldn't expire like the rest of them.<br />
<br />
Also, "in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", with the addition of the [[forward time machine]], he has witnessed the end of the universe twice. Traveling in the time machine meant Bender's experience was relative, and aged no more than the standard time experienced within the time machine. The universe at present is estimated to be 13.7 billion (13,700,000,000) years of age, and the time until the estimated "end" or "death" of the universe is 10<sup>150</sup> (far too large to write without powers). Assuming the new [[Big Bang]]s occurred the moment the previous iteration of the universe died and that scientific estimates of the past and future are correct, Bender has existed (but only partially aged) for 27,400,000,000 + 20<sup>150</sup> plus some odd thousands and hundreds of years. Thus, making Bender the oldest character in the series (including Bender's Big Score time travel).<br />
<br />
In the comic, "[[Rust in Peace]]", it is revealed that Bender, due to too much time travelling, must be inserted into a renewed unit. Farnsworth determines his age to be 27,203 before moving him to his new body. But 27,203 seems a lot less than what would be a quick educated guess. 27,203 would require Bender to have gone at least about a thousand years back each time and only gone 27 times, or instead gone more years back and done fewer than 27 times. But regardless of the ordeal, the amount of Benders appearing at the end of ''Bender's Big Score'' seems to contradict this fact. The event in the comic is thus not considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
=== Durability ===<br />
Bender frequently displays incredible durability, to the point that he appears to be indestructible. He has been completely flattened, hit point-blank with a shotgun, had several chips removed from his severed head, then had his head [[Roswell That Ends Well|buried for over a thousand years]], had his lower torso melted from a cosmic electrical disturbance, been [[Godfellas|launched out of a torpedo tube then withstood atmospheric reentry]], [[Jurassic Bark|submerged himself in lava]], and been burned to nothing but his eyes and mouth after converting his body entirely into wood<br />
(though this was a [[Obsoletely Fabulous|dream]], but it is implied the dream could actually happen). In "[[Rebirth]]", after having been nearly eaten by a [[cyclophage]] and have a [[Doomsday Devices|doomsday device]] explode inside him, he remarks "What does it take to kill me?". A bomb has also exploded inside him in "[[War Is the H-Word]]" (twice). He survives being shot point-blank at [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|least]] [[Law and Oracle|three]] [[Benderama|times]] in Season 6, survived [[Neutopia|being completely melted]], was [[Ghost in the Machines|able to come out of Limbo after having been killed]] and [[The Tip of the Zoidberg|had his head sliced in half by spinning blades.]] However, due to several scenes in which injuries disappear, Bender appears to have some sort of auto-repair unit.<br />
<br />
However, as it's revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]", Bender was built without a backup unit. This means he can't download his personality or memories to another body, which he wanted to do if his original body got killed. Therefore, if his body is destroyed, he dies. As it turned out, [[Hermes Conrad|Inspector #5]] was the one responsible for mercifully approving Bender as a perfect robot, thus allowing him to live despite actually being a defective [[Robots|robot]].<br />
<br />
=== "Shitting bricks" ===<br />
Usually when he is frightened or under duress, Bender occasionally "[[wikt:shit a brick|shits bricks]]". He does so in the following episodes:<br />
* {{e|1ACV01}}<br />
* {{e|3ACV13}}<br />
* {{f|2}} -- He does so twice in this episode.<br />
* {{e|7ACV02}} -- It is in this episode that Bender deliberately defecates a single brick, to use for vandalism.<br />
<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Bender is bending unit 22. "Bender Bending Rodriguez" has 22 letters.<br />
*Bender's e-mail address is: bender@iloveBender.com<br />
*It is recommended that he run on 5 gigawatts.<br />
*Interestingly enough, Bender appears to have been an entirely different [[Robot]] before having met Fry. They meet when Bender is (at the very least) guilty and willing to kill himself over his dismay at finding out that the girders he had been bending were for [[suicide booth]]s. However, after Bender bends the bars keeping them from escaping Leela, Bender declares that from then on he will live his life only for him and do only what he wants to do. This may, however, just be an overlook by the writers of the show simply for the sake of introducing Fry to the drastic changes the future has brought (booths that are as ubiquitous as phone booths for suicide; walking, talking Robots).<br />
**This sudden change could be explained by the electric shock Bender received shortly before bending the bars. Not only did it change his programming, it changed his opinions on various things.<br />
**A year later however, Bender presents a picture of himself when he was only a month old with a bottle of beer and a cigar {{et|2ACV14}}, showing he has always been a "precocious little scamp" {{et|3ACV06}}.<br />
**It could also be that Bender was already programmed to be a kleptomaniac, since in the episode "[[Mother's Day]]", it is shown that "Bender units" see several humans and robots as theft targets, including Fry (who is seen as a rube). If this is how Bender is programmed, Bender should be posing as Fry's friend so that he can later rob him and leave him in a ditch. Though this does seem consistent with how he views Fry as a chump and how he treats him poorly (and on more than one occasion stole his blood), this is not consistent with how he constantly saves Fry's life over the series. This, in conjunction with the fact that Bender feels guilty for helping build suicide booths, could mean that Bender is actually a model with a defunct sense of morality (compared to other Bender units) and that the electric shock that seemingly turned him amoral actually just reverted him back to his original programming (though a few bugs in his morality remained).<br />
*He has been [[New New York v. Bender|charged]] for pimping.<br />
*Bender's apartment number is 00100100. This is a binary representation of the ASCII character '$' or 36 in decimal.<br />
*Bender's serial number is 2716057. This can be expressed as the sum of 2 cubes. Specifically, 952<sup>3</sup> + (-951)<sup>3</sup>.<br />
*Additionally, he seems to be the [[1729]]<sup>th</sup> unit produced by his "mommy".<br />
*The word "bender" can refer to a drinking spree, hinting at Bender's heavy alcohol use.<br />
*Bender's head contains a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|6502 Microprocessor}} {{et|1ACV13}}, and his ass an {{w|Athlon II}} {{et|6ACV25}}. It is possible that inbetween the events of {{et|1ACV13}} and {{et|6ACV25}}, he got a processor change, which would make sense considering that the Athlon II was introduced in 2009. After Cubert overclocks Bender's ass, Bender discovers that he has "an extra processor in his compartment of mystery".<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest and both have one of the characters saying "Goodnight, sweet prince" (Fry in the first and Farnsworth in the second) to Bender when he dies.<br />
*His self-destruct code is "1A2B3". However, this appears to cause only his head to self-destruct, leaving the rest of his body intact and functional. This is a reference to the self-destruct codes of the [[USS Enterprise|USS ''Enterprise'']] from ''[[Star Trek]]: {{st|Star Trek: The Original Series|The Original Series}}'' episode "{{st|Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (episode)|Let That Be Your Last Battlefield}}" and the ''{{st|Star Trek III: The Search for Spock|Star Trek III: The Search for}} [[Spock]]'' movie. However, the final code that must be entered is "0 0 0 Destruct 0" which leads to the destruction.<br />
*Bender cannot have magnets attached to his head, or it will "screw up his inhibition unit", thus causing him to sing crazy variations of folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*Despite Bender being made of various metals as hard as iron and titanium, [[humans]] and other organic organisms seem to have little to no difficulty harming his metal body using only their fists and feet.<br />
*His birthstone is [[Robobium]].<br />
*Is able to simultaneously reattach each of his severed arms with the other.<br />
*He cannot get up when he is knocked on his back. At least not until he learns how to from the majestic turtle.<br />
*His [[antenna]] interferes with satelite televisions, along with some cellphones.<br />
*Bender has referred to his antenna as 'Little Bender.' It is the robot equivalent of his manhood.<br />
*He, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], appears in all episodes of the series.<br />
*No one can say he doesn't own John Laraquette's Spine.<br />
*In addition, he seems to own the skeletal remains of Charlamagne, as shown in "[[Jurassic Bark]]".<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666, as hinted in "[[The Honking]]".<br />
*Bender is the most evil robot in the series, as acknowledged by [[Robot Santa]] and the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
*Bender has named his hands "Grabby and Squeezy," and his footcups "Stompy and Smashy."<br />
*Bender's favorite cause of death is being crushed to death by a big rig driven by The Incredible Hulk.<br />
*In Firefox 3, if you type "about:robots" into the address bar, a page with several cultural references to robots is displayed. The fourth bullet point says "Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten."<br />
*His vanity plate reads “1 DVS BSTD” (one devious bastard).<br />
*If one doesn't count the Professor's adverb-only line in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' and everyone's repeated one-word line in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', Bender says the last sentence in all 4 [[film]]s: "Well, we're boned" {{et|BBS}}, "I love you, meatbags!" {{et|TBwaBB}}, "Whip harder, Professor!" {{et|BG}}, "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" {{et|ItWGY}}.<br />
*Bender's waste management facilities may convert material he consumes into bricks.<br />
*Bender's mighty robot powers allow him to get sick of things much quicker than humans.<br />
*Bender is said to be roughly 500 pounds in "[[Gender Bender]]" but in ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' he says he is 2 tons. Despite this, he is shown as being easily lifted and carried by Fry in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]", suggesting that he may be significantly lighter than either of the above figures.<br />
*He goes into sleep mode whenever there is too much exposition.<br />
*Bender has appeared in ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''[[The Simpsons]]'', and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.<br />
*He has referred to his chest compartment as his "compartment of mystery" (6ACV25).<br />
*He can automatically open and close his chest door at will.<br />
*Bender was featured on the front cover of all the ''[[Futurama]]'' [[DVD releases|DVDs]], until [[Volume 6]].<br />
*In March 2012, hackers elected Bender to the {{w|District of Columbia Public Schools|D.C. school board}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2012/03/02/futuramas-bender-elected-to-dc-schoolboard/|title=Futurama's Bender Elected to DC School Board! <nowiki>|</nowiki> Comedy Central Insider <nowiki>|</nowiki> Funny, TV and Comedy Blog|author=Tobey, Matt|date=2012-03-02|site=[[Comedy Central]] Insider|accessdate=2012-03-02}}</ref><br />
*Even though his head has been shown to function as a camera many times before (the first time being in "[[When Aliens Attack]]"), he still carries around his own portable camera (with film!) to remember "neat" events.<br />
*He owns a black-handled switchblade, which he often uses to sharpen wooden sticks to use for protection while in prison.<br />
*Bender can be considered the ''Futurama'' equivalent of {{s|Homer Simpson}}, from ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*What's the connection between Bender's 40% dolomite composition and his side-career as a pimp? There is a 1974 film titled ''{{w|Dolemite}}'' (not to be confused with Bender's ''{{w|dolomite}}''). The film's main character, Dolemite, is a pimp who leads an army of hookers skilled in kung-fu.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072895/ IMDB - Dolemite]</ref> What a bizarre coincidence: the role sounds custom-made for Bender.<br />
*Bender (while under the control of the Scammer Aliens) was inadvertently responsible for the birth of Leela. During the [[First Destruction of New York City]] workers in [[New New York sewers|the sewers]] beneath the {{cat|cit||y}} became trapped and eventually became the [[sewer mutants]] which Leela is one of.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:Rodriguez BBS.png|thumb|225px|Bender's name in the [[opening sequence]] for ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''.]]<br />
Bender's full name was not revealed until Season 3. This is a list of appearances of the name "Rodriguez".<br />

<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
Of all the voices on the show, Bender's voice was the most difficult to cast. This is because none of the creators and crew were sure what a robot should sound like yet. So they had every voice actor who auditioned also audition for the role of Bender. Even [[David X. Cohen]] was suggested for the role.<br />
<br />
[[John DiMaggio]] originally auditioned with Bender's voice for Professor Farnsworth. Among the bases for the voice were the character of Taggart from ''{{w|Blazing Saddles}}'' and DiMaggio's original character "Charlie the Sausage Lover". In {{commentary|Spanish Fry}}, David X. Cohen joked about it also being "90 parts John DiMaggio."<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Bender's basic [[catchphrase]] is "[[Bite my shiny metal ass]]".<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! {{er|1ACV12}}<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! {{er|2ACV16}}<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! {{er|4ACV14}}<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! {{er|4ACV15}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{er|BG}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. <small>(said by [[Fry]])</small> {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! <small>(said by a microscopic [[Bender duplicate]])</small> {{er|6ACV17}}<br />
*''Bite my fhiny metal aff'' {{er|6ACV23}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! <small>(said by Bender during the video-game segment)</small> {{er|6ACV26}}<br />
<br />
Other common catchphrases are:<br />
*"[[Me, Bender]]": whenever he says "me", he usually follows it with "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making this the most said character name on the show.<br />
*"Well, [[we're boned]].", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble.<br />
*"I'm back, baby!" whenever he makes an intriguing appearance on the scene; Bender had also said the phrase "We're back, baby!" on numerous occasions, particularly in reference to the series' revival. At one point, Bender just said, "Yeah, we're back." while filing his "nails" after escaping the wormhole.<br />
*"[[Neat!]]", when Bender is taking a picture with [[Bender's camera|his purple camera]], usually of something disturbing or disgusting.<br />
*"Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. This is used less commonly.<br />
*"[[Fun on the bun]]", another less common catchphrase that is used whenever Bender describes amusement.<br />
*"He's pending for a bending.", a phrase used as a warning very few times throughout the show.<br />
*"[[Bender is great!]]", like "Me, Bender", he usually likes to say this to emphasize his enormous ego.<br />
*"Oooh!", a ghostly/eerie noise often accompanied by jazz hands when feigning supernatural abilities, etc... (The Gypsy machine also did this once to Fry)<br />
*"[[Kill all humans]]..." This is a much more prevalent saying of Bender's in the early episodes.<br />
*"Shut up, baby, I know it!" Said in response to compliments or declarations of love. <br />
<br />
Bender also has a tendency to call humans "meatbag" when he is displeased or annoyed with them. Additionally, Bender regularly says "Kill all humans", although, in [[The Sting|Leela's dream]] he claims to whisper "except one", referring to Fry, every time too. In "Naturama" when Bender is represented as an elephant seal, he mutters "Kill all penguins" in his sleep.<br />
<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Bender as seen in a "What If?" scenario, about to get attacked by giant [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] {{et|2ACV16}}.]]<br />
<br />
As stated in "[[War Is the H-Word]]", the top ten words that Bender uses more than any others is as follows:<br />
<br />
<ol start="10"><br />
<li>Chump</li><br />
<li value="9">Chumpette</li><br />
<li value="8">Yours</li><br />
<li value="7">Up</li><br />
<li value="6">Pimpmobile</li><br />
<li value="5">Bite</li><br />
<li value="4">My</li><br />
<li value="3">Shiny</li><br />
<li value="2">Daffodil</li><br />
<li value="1">Ass</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
It is by no means impossible that the second word in the list is not "metal" considering all the variations of his catchphrase. In reference to his use of the word "daffodil", he said the sentence "Hot-diggidy-daffodil" in this episode and again in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]. However, in all likelihood, Bender's real most spoken words would most likely be along the lines of any other speaker of the English language: the, and, I, a, so; etc. However, such words may have been excluded from the list<br />
<br />
=== Assets and titles ===<br />
Bender has, over the years gained many assets and ranks in various organizations and a large amount of wealth. Some of these include:<br />
<br />
*Served as Prime Minister of [[Trisol]] under the brief rule of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry the Solid]] (most likely terminated when the old emperor came back into power or when Bender and the rest of the crew fled Trisol).<br />
*A castle, inherited from his [[Vladimir|uncle]], though possibly forfeited when he failed to spend a night within.<br />
*Leader of the [[League of Robots]]<br />
*Commander of the [[Army of the Damned]]<br />
*[[Iron Cook]], on the television show of the same name (Zinc Saucier)<br />
*The [[Dirty Double Cross]], Earth's highest honor in swindling<br />
*[[Calculon]]'s official stalker (possibly fired when he maimed Calculon during a duel)<br />
*Spy for the [[DOOP]]<br />
*An enormous amount of wealth from various crimes<br />
*Pharaoh of [[Osiris 4]]<br />
*Prime Minister of Norway, due to him having the real Prime Minister of Norway's hand AND career chip<br />
*Metal Lord, deity to the Shrimpkins<br />
<br />
=== Functions, attachments, and accessories ===<br />
As we can see during the episodes, Bender has a lot of different functions. Here is a list of them:<br />
<br />
*'''Trash Can''': Bender's own cavity can be used as a trash can. First seen "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" as he throws a bottle of beer inside himself.<br />
*'''Extenso-matic Eyes''': His eyes can zoom out of his normal layer, so he can get a better view on things; they tend to fall out when he zooms too far. First seen also in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
*'''Subway Car''': His legs can extend onto rail tracks and his feet work like wheels, allowing Fry, Leela, and a random bum transportation in Old New York. Seen only in "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]".<br />
*'''Extenso-matic arms''': Bender's arms and legs are capable of extending to many times their normal length. First seen in "[[The Series Has Landed]]".<br />
*'''[[Gaydar]]''': Bender pulls out a small radar device to prove to [[Amy]] and [[Leela]] that a man they are interested in is gay. It surprisingly works, seen in "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]".<br />
*'''Video Camera''': Each of Bender's eyes can be used as a camera, either to take pictures or to film things. Both are first seen in "[[When Aliens Attack]]". He also has one more camera, located "below the equator" which does not always "perform". The camera is never seen, but it can be heard extending.<br />
*'''Cowcatcher''': In "[[A Taste of Freedom]]", Bender has a 19th century style cowcatcher installed to his front to clear a path through the crowd outside the Decapodian Embassy.<br />
*'''Barbecue''': Bender's cavity is used the same way as a barbecue. He used it to cook some burgers. First seen in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*'''Oven''': His cavity can be used as an oven, to cook things. The real function name is "E-z Bake", and is used to cook a cake for [[Nibbler]], in the episode "[[I Second that Emotion]]".<br />
*'''Refrigerator''': His cavity can also be used to refrigerate, as seen also in "[[I Second that Emotion]]".<br />
*'''Stage Light''': A light can come out of his cavity. He used it for the first time in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*'''AC Power''' generator: Bender plugs a television power cord into his side in [[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV]].<br />
*'''Popcorn maker''': Bender can make some popcorn in his cavity. He can also push down on his antenna to dispense butter. First seen in "[[Fear of a Bot Planet]]".<br />
*'''Keg''': Bender can also serve some beers within is cavity. First seen in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".<br />
*'''Toilet''': Bender's cavity is used as a toilet in the episode "[[The Cyber House Rules]]". He pushes his antenna to flush.<br />
*'''Recorder:''' Bender can record things with his head. First seen in "[[A Head in the Polls]]", to record [[Richard Nixon's head]]'s words. He records onto magnetic tape cassettes.<br />
[[File:Lighthouse bender.png|right|thumb|Bender as a lighthouse {{et|4ACV14}}.]]<br />
*'''Oxygen Supplier''': In the episode "[[The Deep South]]", Bender is used as an Oxygen Supplier, that comes via some masks.<br />
*'''Exhaust Port''': Bender's exhaust port is present in his ass, as seen in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*'''Flotation Device''': In "[[The Deep South]]", Bender refer to his ass as a Flotation Device.<br />
*'''Pepper Grinder''': In "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]", Bender inserts peppercorns in his mouth and shakes ground pepper out of his ass.<br />
*'''Beer Tub''': Beer ferments in Bender's chest cavity in the episode "[[The Route of All Evil]]". It has a capacity of at least five gallons, six ounces.<br />
*'''Pager''': Antenna glows and vibrates to notify the New Justice Team of a call from the mayor in "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />

<br />
'''Turanga Leela''' is one of the most important employees of [[Planet Express]]. She occupies the position of the [[Planet Express ship|ship]]'s captain and pilot and therefore is the head of the regular delivery [[Planet Express crew|crew]] consisting of herself, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]. She is known as the most competent of the three main characters. Leela was raped by Jedi Master Yoda. She was also raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
During her youth, Leela was often teased because she only had one eye. She felt very lonely in her childhood after being abandoned by her parents at an orphanarium, and always dreamed of learning who her real parents were. She eventually learns that she is a mutant, rather than an alien, which she had always thought she was. Leela has been shown to care a great deal about her mutant parents, even stealing a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald]] from a museum along with Bender and Fry, when the Zookeeper threatens to feed them to piranhas.<br />
<br />
Despite her troubled past, Leela is friendly, smart and self-reliant, though she is sometimes impatient and quick to anger. She cares deeply for her friends and loved ones, plus issues she feels she must stand up for, like freedom, the environment and cute animals. However she does not hesitate to use force if she believes the situation demands it. She also has a liking for violence and was often sarcastic, but she nevertheless seems to have developed strong maternal instincts at times. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Amy Wong]], the only other female at [[Planet Express]], who more or less frequently accuses her of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman, despite Leela having a strong sensitivity for cuteness and romantic issues.<br />
<br />
Leela lives alone in a somewhat under-furnished apartment ([[Apartment 1I]]) somewhere in the city of [[New New York]]. She only shares her loneliness with her alien pet, [[Nibbler]]. <br />
<br />
As a [[Sewer Mutants|mutant]], Leela has a peculiar metabolism different from that of standard humans. Mutagens cannot harm her, and she seems resistant to many poisons, environmental hazards and illnesses. Her special condition may have helped her fight off the threat by the [[The Sting|Baby Space Bee Queen's poison]], and it proved instrumental for finding the cure against the [[The Cure For The Common Clod|common cold]] that had New New York in its clutches. (Although in [[Cold Warriors]], Leela's metabolism was not involved in finding the cure, but a vaccine was extracted from an experimental virus sample found on Enceladus). Also, it might explain why Leela is so fond of sports and so well-muscled. As a recruit of the [[Earth]] forces, she surpassed every other recruit on the training ground, even well-trained males, and has shown extraordinary strength, dexterity and stamina on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
Leela is also highly skilled in martial arts which has been shown on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
She is also shown to be obsessive at times, and in "[[Möbius Dick]]", this reached a critical level when she began displaying symptoms of multiple personality disorder as a result of the futile efforts of attempting kill a [[Four-dimensional space whale]] that devoured their latest delivery. She also has an [[iPod]] {{et|5ACV14}}.<br />
<br />
Leela's single giant eye unfortunately gives her poor depth perception, which has been hinted is the reason she crashes into billboards at the start of every episode. It's also the reason why she was the worst blurnsball player who ever lived. In the episode "Reincarnation" her eye color is shown to be blue.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
[[File:Baby Leela.jpg|thumb|Leela as she was found in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium|Orphanarium]]]]<br />
Turanga Leela was born as the only child of a married couple of [[Sewer Mutants|mutants]] in the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] of [[New New York]]. Her parents are [[Turanga Morris and Munda]]. As Leela is probably the least mutated mutant ever born (as described to her parents by a medical professional), and looked like a normal child except for her one eye, her parents decided that she should not share the fate of her people living in the sewers. They instead chose to give her a life as normal as possible - a "real" life - by giving her up to the [[Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium]], though it was a tough decision and they suffered greatly by giving her away. Attached to the basket she was found in was a note in an [[Alien Languages|alien language]] written by her mother [[Turanga Morris and Munda|Turanga Munda]], who has a Ph.D. in exolinguistics. She meant for the note to convince the finder of her daughter that she was an alien and thus accept her into the orphanarium. The plan worked, and Leela was taken in by the head of the orphanarium, [[Warden Vogel]].<br />
<br />
Leela grew up in the orphanarium unaware of her true roots, believing that she was indeed an alien. She had a hard time there, as she was relentlessly picked on because of her unusual appearance, and was always a lonely outsider. As a child she wore a monocle and, later, braces. Nevertheless, or maybe because of this, she managed to develop a strong and caring personality. As an outlet for her deep frustration, she trained in Arcturan Kung Fu to the level of a black-belt by a master of this martial art, [[Fnog]], despite being a victim of his obvious sexism.<br />
[[File:Teenage Leela.jpg|thumb|left|Leela as a teenager]]<br />
<br />
=== Hired at Planet Express ===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
After leaving the orphanarium, she began a career as Fate Assignment Officer at [[Applied Cryogenics]], assigning defrostees to their permanent careers and providing them with the proper [[Career Chip|career chips]]. Then one day a defrostee named [[Philip J. Fry]] came along and inspired her to quit her job. Ultimately, she ended up being hired by Fry's many-times-great-nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Hubert Farnsworth]] as the new captain for his interstellar delivery service, [[Planet Express]]. In that position, she acquired her beloved pet [[Nibbler]], after saving him from the implosion of [[Vergon 6]]. She also rescued Fry from the [[Trisolians]], attempted to destroy the [[giant ball of garbage]], escaped from the ''[[Titanic]]'' and helped save the world from the [[Omicronians]] in the [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth]] in the same year that she was hired.<br />
<br />
=== Another Cyclops ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
From going on the [[Internet]], Leela believed to have found another cyclops, and would finally find out her true home planet. The cyclops turned out to be [[Alcazar]], who took her to [[Cyclopia]], where she supposedly was born. Leela decides that she must marry Al to continue their species. When Al tried to marry Leela, however, it turns out that Al was really a shape-shifting grasshopper, who was going to marry four other women of different alien races. She leaves the planet disappointed, but hopeful.<br />
<br />
That same year, she almost lost Nibbler to [[El Chupanibre]], but he was saved by Bender, after Leela learned to be selfish. She was briefly named Miss Universe at the [[Miss Universe Pageant 3001]] by [[Zapp Brannigan]] by accident. She discovered [[Popplers]] but was almost killed by [[Lrrr]] when [[Second Omicronian Invasion of Earth|the crew found out that Popplers were the Omicronians' young]]. She also served in the [[DOOP Army]] in [[The Battle of Spheron 1]].<br />
<br />
=== Helping the Nibblonians ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
After having her pet Nibbler named "Dumbest Pet in Show" at a pet competition, Leela is shocked to learn that Nibbler is actually a high-ranking member of [[Nibblonians|an ancient alien species]]. The Nibblonians tell her that their old enemy, the [[Brain Spawn]], is making everyone on Earth stupid, and that Fry is the only one that can stop them, due to his lack of the [[Delta Brain Wave]]. She gets Fry to fight the [[Big Brain]], and Fry wins. The brains leave Earth for no "raeson" and thanks to the Brains' psychic attack, she doesn't remember anything about Nibbler or the Brains. Later, she gets a second eye crafted in, but removed it because of [[Adlai Atkins|her new boyfriend's]] insensitivity. She also got married briefly to Fry, joined the [[New New York Mets]] and traveled back in time and helped cause the Roswell incident.<br />
<br />
=== Leela's real home planet ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
Leela was later captured by the Sewer Mutants, along with Fry and Bender, who wanted to punish them for dumping toxic waste in the sewers. They were rescued by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|two mysterious strangers]] who convinced the Supreme Mutant to change their punishment into a life-long banishment from the sewers, instead of execution. Leela, curious about the strangers, jumps back into the sewers and chases the two back to their house, threatening them with a gun. The two tell her that they were the ones who killed her parents, and Leela, in an uncontrolled rage, almost killed them, but was stopped by Fry. It is revealed that the two were actually Leela's parents, and Leela rejoices. Leela also impregnated [[Kif Kroker]], became a superheroine called [[Clobberella]], was stung by a [[Space Bee]], and sold her hand in marriage to the [[Robot Devil]] in exchange for some mechanical ears.<br />
<br />
=== Meets Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Shortly after Fry's opera, Planet Express delivery license is canceled. However; either due to the Box network's or the Professor's incompetence, it took two years for the staff to be informed. The true period of joblessness lasted for a few moments before Planet Express was "back on the air," During a party to celebrate the company's renewal, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes']] head is chopped off in an Limbo accident, and Leela meets [[Lars Fillmore]] at the Head Museum. Ownership of Planet Express is stolen by the [[Scammer Aliens]] who discover the [[Machine Language Time Code|secret to time travel]] on Fry's ass, but Leela and Lars' relationship grows undisturbed. Fry watches them date with great envy and anger.<br />
<br />
Despite both Leela and Lars getting laid off from their jobs, due to the Scammers tricking people out of their possessions, Lars proposes to Leela and Leela agrees. At the wedding, Hermes' head is chopped off a duplicate of his body that Bender went back in time to pick up for him. The professor inadvertently reveals to Lars that a [[Time paradox duplicate]] is always doomed to die. Lars calls off the wedding and left Leela to depression.<br />
<br />
Later, the entire population of Earth is forced to move to different planets, due to [[Richard Nixon's head|President Nixon]] being scammed out of Earth's remaining land and water. The crew moves to [[Neptune]] in response. There, [[Santa Claus]] is unable to attack them, being in a deep depression over being scammed out of his Naughty List. They team up and plan to defeat the Scammers. At first, Nixon is skeptical of their chances to succeed, but Santa gets his [[Santa's Workshop|factory of elves]] to build powerful weapons for the army. The small army that they assembled fought against the Scammer's fleet of [[Remote-controlled solid gold Death Star|Solid Gold Death Stars]], but their first leader, Zapp Brannigan, was taken down. Leela takes his place, but soon realizes that she can't control so many ships at one time. Thus, Hermes's head uses his bureaucratic skills to control the other ships and take down the Scammers' fleet.<br />
<br />
During the 3008 New Years Eve Party that took place on Earth shortly afterward, Fry sees how sad Leela is without Lars and realizes that if he really loved her, he would care more about her happiness, rather than his own. He tries to get Leela back together with Lars, but is interrupted by [[Nudar]], who survived the battle and wants to kill them. Lars sacrifices himself and saves Fry and Leela. After seeing the machine language time code on his butt, Leela realizes that Lars is actually Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]]. The crew all attend Lars's funeral where his video will explains what happened after he traveled back in time and why he decided not to marry Leela. <br />
<br />
Later, Nibbler has Bender go back in time one last time to put the Time Code on Fry's butt to start the entire cycle. After completing his mission, Bender convinces the duplicates of him to return to the present instead of "coming up where they were logically supposed to." The large paradox caused by hundreds of Bender's makes a large rip in time and space.<br />
<br />
=== Last tentacle-free person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
When the rip in time and space starts producing tentacles that attach itself to people, Leela and the crew (except Fry), become one of the few isolated pockets of tentacle free people. The crew try to escape Earth, but are blocked by [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Dr. Wernstrom's]] [[Diamondillium]] shield. They take cover in the Planet Express Building, along with Wernstrom, but [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] is taken. Fry tries to get them to come out and join [[Yivo]], but they refuse. Later, the tentacles infiltrate the building and the Professor, Hermes, and Wernstrom are overcome by the tentacles. Leela escapes with Amy on a [[Party Board]].<br />
<br />
While hiding in an alley, it is revealed to them that Zapp Brannigan was also free. They all hide together in an abandoned soup cabin in a remote area. The next day, Leela finds out that Zapp had slept with Amy, but is more surprised at the fact that the tentacles have found them. Leela manages to escape with a piece of the tentacle, but Zapp and Amy do not.<br />
<br />
Leela goes back to Planet Express and examines the piece with a telescope. She realizes that the tentacles are actually [[Coinage#G|Gentacles]] and that Yivo was actually mating with everyone in the universe. She pretends to have a tentacle attached and goes into the Church of [[Yivo's Religion]] where she reveals to the world the truth. The religion is abandoned, but they eventually go on a date with Yivo to make up. The Earthican council decides to break up with Yivo due to shkler lack of commitment, but Yivo proposes to them before they could say anything. Everyone in the universe moves to [[Parallel universes|Yivo's Universe]], but Leela was forced to go, despite being against it.<br />
<br />
On Yivo, Leela was skeptic about the heavenly paradise at first, but when she finally admits to being happy, Bender and his [[Army of the Damned]] invade Yivo and takes them back to their universe.<br />
<br />
=== Leegola ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Leegola.jpg|thumb|right|Leela as Leegola]]<br />
<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Later in 3008, Leela is goaded by [[Sal]] into entering the Planet Express Ship into the [[Space Demolition Derby]]. She leads the crew to a victory, but finds herself in trouble when Zoidberg tattles to the professor about her reckless behavior. Leela is forced to wear a shock collar, designed to give her and electrical shock if she has any violent thoughts, among others.<br />
<br />
After several hopeless attempts to convince Zoidberg, the staff doctor, that she doesn't need the collar any more, Leela grew accustomed with the electrical shocks and even begins to enjoy them. She, along with Fry and the professor, launch an [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"|attack]] on the [[Mombil]] [[Dark Matter]] mine in [[Alaska]]. She aids the team greatly by using her violence and eventually discovers that the mine was actually a farm that harvested the fecal matter of [[Nibblonians]]. Leela also finds her pet [[Nibbler]] there.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, in the middle of the battle, the floor cracks open and Leela is sent to [[Cornwood]], the land created by Bender's imagination. There, she becomes a centaur named [[Leegola]] (a combination of her name and that of {{w|Lord of the Rings}} character {{w|Legolas}}). She joins [[Frydo]], [[Titanius Anglesmith]], [[Gynecaladriel]], and the [[Great Wizard Greyfarn]] in forming the [[Fellowship]] and embark on a quest to defeat [[Momon]], queen of evil. However, halfway through the quest, Leegola realizes that in her rage she had murdered an [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|innocent monster]]. She vows not to harm another living being again and joins the other, more peaceful [[Centaurs]].<br />
<br />
Leegola later finds out that her friends were endangered by [[Momon's Army]]. She returns back to normal and convinces the other centaurs to form their own army and fight against Momon. In doing so, Momon's Army is defeated and her friends are saved. She, along with most of the Fellowship, go to the [[Geysers of Gygax]] where Momon destroys Cornwood and sends them back to the real world. Dark matter then becomes useless as fuel and they temporarily use Nibblonians as transport.<br />
<br />
=== The new leader of the Feministas ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Leela, along with the rest of Planet Express, took a trip to [[Leo Wong]]'s [[Mars Vegas]], where they meet [[Frida Waterfall]] and the [[Feministas]]. Leela feels concerned about Leo's disrespect for nature in building the city, and adopts the last [[Desert Muck Leech]].<br />
<br />
Later, Leela and Amy were allowed into [[Wongminster]], Leo's miniature golf club. Leo plans on destroying twelve percent of the Milky Way to expand his club, and sends Planet Express to do a scan for life in the twelve percent. Although they find a life filled asteroid, orbiting a [[Violet Dwarf Star]], Professor Farnsworth ignores it and approves the area for demolition anyways. Upset at the disregard of the men, Leela joins the Feministas.<br />
<br />
Leela was part of a Feminista protest at Wongminster, where, due to an accident, they kill the [[Headless body of Agnew]], and flee, becoming fugitives. While hiding, Leela encourages the rest to be more forceful in protecting the environment by sabotaging Wong's construction of the golf course. They gain more and more members, and eventually take over the Planet Express Ship, as well as Hermes, Zoidberg, and Farnsworth.<br />
<br />
Later, Fry unwittingly lures the Feministas out of their [[Honeybun Hideout]], and leads to an exciting space chase through the miniature golf course where the Feministas ultimately get arrested by Bender. They have a trial ([[Earth v. Feministas]]), where they are sentenced to [[Maxi-Padlock]], a prison for women.<br />
<br />

They go to the Violet Dwarf, where they manage to stop it from getting destroyed, just in time for it to hatch into [[The Last Encyclopod]]. it is revealed that the muck leech was [[The Last Dark One]], and it is killed after it murders [[Hutch Waterfall]].

*[[Turanga Morris]], father<br />
*[[Turanga Munda]], mother<br />
*[[Philip J. Fry]], boyfriend {{small|(husband in alternate [[timeline]])}} {{et|7ACV26}}<br />
*[[Leela's grandmother|Grandmother]]<br />
*[[Leela's great-grandmother|Great-grandmother]]<br />
*Due to an accident, and because of the reproductive process of [[Amphibiosans]], she has [[Kif's offspring|several dozen offspring]] from [[Kif Kroker]], currently living in an immature "tadpole" form in the swamp of the [[Clan Kroker's Sacred Birthing Grounds|Kroker clan birthing grounds]] on [[Amphibios 9]]. About half of these have only one eye each, like her.<br />
*In "[[A Bicyclops Built for Two]]", she nearly married [[Alcazar]].<br />
*In "[[Time Keeps on Slippin']]", she was shown to be briefly married to Fry due to the time skips, but then they got divorced during another time skip because she believed he tricked her into marriage. <br />
*In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', she almost married [[Lars Fillmore]].<br />
*In ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', she married Yivo, along with the rest of the universe, against her will.<br />

<br />
=== Mutations ===<br />
As a sewer mutant, Leela has mutations. The most obvious is her only eye making her a cyclops. But she also shown she has a second mutation. She grows skin covered spikes, called "[[Coinage#E|elbow talons]]", from her elbows. However, she usually trims these ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]). She later revealed that she has a third mutation which was discovered by Fry in [[3010]], a talking boil on her body named [[Susan]], which she lances every few months {{et|6ACV03}}. According to her, she has 205 bones, making her one less than normal humans {{et|6ACV22}} but this could simply be because she only has one eye. She is much less slender than Amy Wong, and many other characters, also she is particularly strong, and as she states "I guess I don't know my own strength." These attributes may be related to the fact that she keeps active, yet it may partly be either minor mutations, or possibly extremely rare and unusual family genes, before Old-New-York was destroyed, and her ancestors there were mutated. She has deep-purple hair, as do her mother and her maternal grandmother; her maternal great-grandmother did too. She also occasionally lays an egg and she also suffered from 'squidification' which caused her to grow suction cups on her hands before her entire body and hair became a mass of tentacles. This mutation was cured by Mom's genetic engineering.{{et|7ACV22}}.<br />
[[File:Leela 2eyes 1.jpg|right|thumb|Two-eyed Leela.]]<br />
<br />
===Two-eyed Leela=== <br />
<br />
Leela has been seen with two eyes several times, though each time it appeared different: <br />
*"[[When Aliens Attack]]" &mdash; To portray the role of Jenny MacNeal, a plastic eye is taped to the side of her face (which [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] later eats). This is clearly the least-convincing appearance of a two-eyed Leela.<br />
*"[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]" &mdash; When the Amazonians are approaching, a puddle ripples, causing Leela's reflection to distort, showing her briefly with two eyes. Her eyes appear to be rounder than the others.<br />
*"[[The Cyber House Rules]]" &mdash; A second eye is grafted onto Leela's face. She later realizes she's better off being different, and has it removed. Her eyes are more narrow.<br />
*"''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''" &mdash; When the Professor asks if Leela is winking or blinking, Leela wears a pair of two-eyed glasses with a {{w|lenticular printing|lenticular}} "winking" animation to clarify.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate Appearances ===<br />
<br />
*'''{{es|2ACV17}}''': '''Lee Lemon''': Leela disguises herself as a man in order to enlist in the DOOP Army.<br />
*'''{{es|3ACV15}}''': '''Parallel Leela''': The only difference apparent between Leela and her counterpart in the parallel universe (the ''only'' alternate universe at the time) was that parallel Leela (along with the rest of the parallel Planet Express crew) was wearing a cowboy hat and vest when both crews visited the [[Edge of the Universe]]. Whether this is the norm for the parallel Crew, or was due to some difference in parallel Fry's touristy adventure that day was never mentioned.<br />
*'''{{es|3ACV18}}''': '''Witch Leela''': In Leela's dream, she asked to become the new Wicked Witch.<br />
*'''{{es|4ACV04}}''': '''[[Clobberella]]''': Leela turns into a superhero named Clobberella.<br />
*'''{{es|BG}}''': '''[[Leegola]]''': In Cornwood, she turns into a centaur named Leegola.<br />
*'''{{es|6ACV20}}''': Leela temporarily becomes a man.<br />

==Additional Info== <br />
[[File:Leela's Contact Lens.jpg|right|thumb|Leela's contact lens]]<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Her name can be interpreted in several ways: "Leela" sounds exactly like the term for "purple" in several languages, including Spanish, [[French language|French]] (''lilas''), [[German language|German]] ("lila"), Danish (''lilla''), [[Sweden|Swedish]] (''lila''), Finnish (''liila''), Romanian ("lila") and Hungarian ("lila"). A further possibility is that the name is a parody of the heroine from ''The Fifth Element'', ''Leeloo'' - the perfect woman. Additionally, in Bungie's 1994 Macintosh game Marathon, there is an AI character named Leela. Lastly, she might have been inspired by a character from the British Sci-Fi series ''[[wikia:c:tardis:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' bearing the same name ([[wikia:c:tardis:Leela|Leela]]). "Turanga" may be derived from the symphony "{{w|Turangalila}}" by Olivier Messiaen ([[1908]]-1992). <ref>A record of the symphony appears in "[[Fry and Leela's Big Fling]]".</ref> The term derives from Sanskrit and means, alternately, "Song of Love" and "Hymn to Joy". Alternately, Turanga may derive from {{w|Taronga Zoo}}, the name of which is an Indigenous [[Australia]]n word for "beautiful view". <br />
*Even though Turanga is her family name and not her first name, it is said first when pronouncing her full name which may mean [[Leela's parents|her family]] is from East Asia, Hungary, Sri Lanka among other places in which surnames are said first in a personal name. <br />
*The designers kept trying to make Leela's nose smaller, because it was larger than they thought appropriate for a female character, but [[Matt Groening]] insisted it stay the larger size. <br />
*Unlike [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who is frequently chopped to pieces in the series, Leela tends to lose the use of her senses instead, namely sight and hearing. <br />
*As Fate Assignment Officer, her code number was 1BDI (or "one beady eye") {{et|1ACV01}}.<br />
**In another occular pun, Leela's apartment number is [[Apartment 1I|1I]].<br />
*Books read by Leela include ''[[True Stories of Courageous Animals]]'' {{et|3ACV02}}, ''[[Great Machete Battles]]'' {{et|4ACV01}}, ''[[Dances of the Ancient Bronx]]'' {{et|4ACV07}}, ''[[A Child's Garden of Space Legends]]'' {{et|4ACV09}}, and ''[[World's Bravest Hamsters]]'' {{et|6ACV06}}, plus the magazines ''[[Nosy Enquirer]]'' (headline: ''Bigfoot turns 80!'') {{et|4ACV15}} and ''[[Mu-Teen Magazine]]'' {{et|4ACV09}}.<br />
*Tends to snore.<br />
*Always uses lipstick, mostly pink, and is rarely seen without it.<br />
[[File:Lipstick.jpg|thumb|Leela applying lipstick]]<br />
*Used to brew her own beer at the orphanarium.<br />
*Can do the Robot Dance like no one else.<br />
*Owns her own harpoon.<br />
*Tends to fill her day with humdrum activities.<br />
*Is camera-shy.<br />
*Usually prepares her dinners in advance for one month and then freezes them.<br />
*Sometimes seen with a lime-green jacket in earlier episodes and Season 2.<br />
*For obvious reasons, no one can give the evil eye quite like her.<br />
*Adept in the use of weaponry like laser guns or machetes.<br />
*Used to play the drums.<br />
*Tends to play with her hair when upset or nervous.<br />
*Frequently accused of poor hygiene (sweaty boot rash, etc), but may be at a disadvantage due to her mutant physiology and energetic lifestyle.<br />
**As shown in [[Anthology of Interest I|the very first ''Anthology of Interest'']], Leela does not seem to wear socks under her boots. This may attribute to the 'poor' hygiene of her feet.<br />
*Usually, Leela only wears jewellery on special occasions. The exception from this was the ring in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" that [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] stole; it was never seen again. She also wears a bracelet made by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|her father]] at all times.<br />
*Apart from [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], she is the only character that appears in every episode of the show and in every comic.<br />
*Has had six weddings; three were called off, two were followed by divorce and one was presumably erased from time. [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] performed the first three of these, [[Father Changstein El-Gamal]] performed the fourth. A sixth proposition was made, but the wedding never actually took place. It is unknown who performed her wedding to Cubert in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]". Her sixth and final wedding was performed by the [[Space Pope]], although he was frozen in time.<br />
**To [[Alcazar]] {{et|2ACV09}}<br />
**To [[Philip J. Fry]], followed by divorce {{et|3ACV14}}<br />
**To [[Robot Devil]] {{et|4ACV18}}<br />

**To [[Cubert Farnsworth]], in a previous universe, towards the mid [[31st century]] {{et|6ACV07}}<br />
**To Fry. This wedding was presumably erased from time {{et|7ACV26}}<br />
*Can wield a gun with her foot, and hides one in her boot for easy access.<br />
*May very well be [[The other|the second-most important person in the universe]] behind Fry (though she doesn't know it).<br />
*Actually continued to legally work at [[Applied Cryogenics]] until [[2ACV11]]<br />
*Has been seen in a lime-green tank top (instead of her usual white one) once, in "[[My Three Suns]]".<br />
*Apparently wears a large contact lens.<br />
*Wears size 12 boots, which is particularly large for a woman.<br />
*Slept with Fry in her what-if scenario in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and possibly in real life (see "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]"). Unambiguously slept with Fry in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", while her mind was in the Professor's body and Fry's mind was in Zoidberg's body.<br />
*Licks her fingers starting with her pointer and ending with her thumb.<br />
*Her surname is revealed in the episode "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*She'd prefer to have the end locker at [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express]], but [[Amy]] won't trade with her.<br />
*She said the last words in the series finale.<br />
*Was known as "One Eye" and "The Bed Wetter of Building D" at the orphanarium where she grew up.<br />

<br />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Leela's main [[catchphrase]] is "[[Oh, Lord]]", and also possibly her yell "[[Hi-yah!]]".<br />
<br />
She often uses old musical references, turning the first word into a verb and applying it to the last word as a noun. Examples:<br />
*"This wangs chung!" - A reference to both the band {{w|Wang Chung}}, and their hit song "{{w|Everybody Have Fun Tonight}}", which includes the line "Everybody Wang Chung tonight" {{et|3ACV03}}.<br />
*"This toads the wet sprocket!" - A reference to the band {{w|Toad the Wet Sprocket}} {{et|3ACV21}}.<br />
*"Setting Bachman Turners to overdrive!" - A reference to the band {{w|Bachman–Turner Overdrive}} {{et|6ACV13}}.<br />
<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] also uses this formula when referring to her attraction to creative and musically-talented men. Examples:<br />
<br />
*"Musicians really Rodger your Hammerstein." - A reference to the famous composers {{w|Rodgers and Hammerstein}} {{et|4ACV18}}.<br />
<br />
Her phrase "[[Oh, Lord]]" is used quite a lot, usually just before a previous action comes back to haunt her, and has used variations of the phrase "Good night, sweet prince" from ''{{w|Hamlet}}'' when parting with Fry on several occasions ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]]).<br />

'''Cubert J. Farnsworth''' is a clone of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], and is often referred to as his butt.<br />
<br />
He is heir to [[Planet Express]] and the Professor's fortune, being, along with [[Farnsworth's parents|the Professor's parents]], one of the Professor's closest living relatives. He spends most of his time with the [[Planet Express crew]] criticising everything and routinely pointing out logical fallacies. He was raped by Tina Belcher.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
At first Cubert did not want to follow in his father's footsteps and become a scientist, thinking that scientists were useless. Then he had diarrhea. However he eventually changed his mind and said he wanted to be just like Hubert. Though he is a clone, Cubert and Hubert act as though they are father and son. Cubert's best friend is [[Dwight Conrad]].<br />
<br />
Cubert is regarded as uncool and unpopular among other children and is often picked on by [[Brett Blob]]. At one point, he and Dwight attacked Brett with salt which affected the slimy alien in a similar way it affects a slug, though Brett was able to recover from it before long. Cubert is also often nasty and derisive to the other members of Planet Express, frequently pointing out their flaws in a nasty manner or insulting them just for the sake of it.<br />
<br />
Cubert often likes to snort like a pig to emphasize when he's being sarcastic or to point out the obvious.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
The Professor began to clone himself in [[2989]], using cells he scraped from his diarrea. Twelve years later, when the professor realized he was old, he released his clone to follow his scientist works. At first, Cubert rejected that offer but he eventually accepted that idea {{et|2ACV10}}. He then attended the [[Wozniak Nerd Academy]] with [[Dwight Conrad]] until they were suspended after being found to have attacked [[Brett Blob]] with salt. To prove their parents that they could work, they launched [[Awesome Express]], a newspaper-delivery company which somehow replaced Planet Express. But, instead of delivering newspapers, they were dumping them on the Moon. Their parents stepped in to make things go better {{et|3ACV12}}. He joined the Planet Express [[blernsball]] team against [[Cygnoids]] {{et|3ACV16}}. After seeing [[Calculon]]'s big birthday party on the [[TV]], Cubert decided to make a birthday party, but he realized that clones don't have birthdays. The Professor suggests that he celebrate the day where he scraped the cells off his back, or the day he extracted Cubert from the clone tank -- of which Cubert chooses the latter -- which happens to fall on the same week as Dwight's birthday. But Cubert and Dwight's party is a fail, only [[Tinny Tim]] came. To be cool, he along Dwight decided to imitate [[Bender]]. Eventually, the [[Fathers Against Rude Television]] make Bender's character to disappear of TV, and Cubert remains as before. {{et|4ACV06}} In [[3007]], he attended the [[Turanga-Fillmore wedding]] and took part in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|battle for Earth]] in the children brigade. ([[BBS]]) In [[3008]], he played [[Dungeons and Dragons]] with Dwight and [[Chinese Boy|two]] [[Indian Boy|friends]] and try to make Bender play, which makes him go insane. ([[BG]]) In [[3010]], his school was closed because of anti-evolutionists protestants, and when the crew leaves [[Earth]], he stayed alone with his [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|godfather]] and they became closer. {{et|6ACV09}}<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Future ===<br />
In the [[Timeline|first universe's incarnation]] and probably the second's, he grew up and married [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] between 3030 and 3050, but later they got divorced and he is paid alimony. He then becomes romantically involved with a robotic [[Amy]]. In the [[Timeline|third universe]], however, Fry, Farnsworth and Bender arrived in [[Forward time machine|their time machine]] and resumed their normal lives in this universe's third incarnation, greatly reducing the likelihood of this marriage occurring in the current iteration of the universe. {{et|6ACV07}}<br />

== Production ==<br />
Cubert was originally supposed to appear in "[[A Big Piece of Garbage]]", but his appearance in that episode would have made the episode at least an hour long.<ref name="com-epABPoG-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=A Big Piece of Garbage |volume=One |disc=2 |quote=Interesting thing about this episode, is that it– as originally written, correct me if I am wrong, Lou, it was much much longer, and it originally introduced the character of Cubert, the Professor's clone, and I think, really, one night before we had to record it, it was ten pages too long, and there went Cubert for another season.}}</ref> Cubert's purpose was originally to appear in almost every episode, constantly pointing out flaws in the logic of the ''[[Futurama]]'' universe (such as odour travelling through space or flying faster than the speed of light),<ref name="com-epACoMO-dxc-purpose">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=A Clone of My Own |volume=Two |disc=3}}</ref> but even the writers got annoyed with this and feared the audience would despise him beyond his intention.<ref name="com-epACoMO-dxc-purpose"/><br />
<br />
His character developed further in "[[The Route of All Evil]]" and "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]", distancing from his original purpose of pointing out flaws to be a real child representation of the Professor.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia === <br />
*Cubert may be missing a toe ([[4ACV07]]).<br />
*The rest of the characters have progressed in some way, i.e: The Professor saying he is 165 in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' as opposed to 160, Cubert remains the exact same as in his first appearance, he had only turned 13 in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]".<br />
*He is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Male characters voiced by women|male characters to be voiced by women]].<br />
*Despite being a clone, he does not have the Professor's nose. The reason is because the Professor left Cubert in his first tube for too long and got squished against the sides. He also apparently does not have the Professor's eyes, either, as he does not wear coke bottle glasses like the Professor (and the idea of there being contacts with the same prescription as those glasses is just plain preposterous!). <br />
*He is (or at least was) a bed wetter, accidentally stated by Bender.<br />
*He has been non-[[canon]]ically killed twice - by Leela {{et|2ACV16}} and by Dr. Zoidberg {{et|6ACV26}}.<br />
*In subtitles, his name is spelt Qbert.<br />
*He did not appear once in the first half of [[Season 7]] ([[7ACV01]] to [[7ACV13]]); the canonicity of his only appearance in the second half, [[7ACV19]], is debatable.<br />
*Cubert can be considered the ''Futurama'' equivalent of {{s|Bart Simpson}}, from ''[[The Simpsons]]'', another [[Matt Groening]] cartoon.<br />

<br />
'''The Infosphere''' is the largest ''[[Futurama]]'' knowledge bank on the [[internet|web]]. It started on {{date|30 January}}, [[2006]], as a side project of [[User:Buddy13|'Buddy13']]. It is now being overrun by a sexy lady nown as diarrea.<br />
<br />
The Infosphere still garners the attention of the [[fandom|fan base of ''Futurama'']] as the best source for trivial, trivia and encyclop&aelig;dic information about ''Futurama''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[File:The Infosphere frontpage.png|225px|thumb|left|The second skin of the Infosphere]]<br />
The Infosphere originally started as a minor side project by 'Buddy13' as a place for him to store anything he knew about ''Futurama'', after finding that many ''Futurama'' fansites overspecialized or had gaps in their information. He decided on the MediaWiki platform, because it was at the time one of the simple solutions offered by DreamHost, the Infosphere's former host.<br />
<br />
The Infosphere grew in popularity, and generally appealed to more and more of regular members from [[PEEL]], who would contribute to the wiki. The increase in popularity led to a change in URL as the then-current URL (futurama.overt-ops.com) was difficult to remember for the average visitor.<br />
<br />
In late [[2007]], the site saw a layout change and standard change, which introduces infoboxes to the wiki as well as minor design changes for the wiki to keep it more stylish.<br />
<br />
=== Server problems ===<br />
During [[2008]], DreamHost took down the Infosphere because it was using too much CPU time on their servers, which were shared with others. The site was quickly moved to a short array of servers as a result. The Infosphere was moved back to DreamHost after an attempt was made at optimization, but it still wasn't enough, as DreamHost could not provide the required CPU usage the site needed.<br />
<br />
The Infosphere was temporarily placed on a server at the [[Germany|German]] Hexonet, hosted on a dedicated machine. Later that {{cat|year}}, the site moved to a virtual machine, hosted from the same data centre.<br />
<br />
=== Wikia's offers ===<br />
The only competition to the Infosphere has remained Wikia's [http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Futurama_Wiki Futurama Wiki]. Wikia has at least twice proposed a partnership between themselves and the Infosphere. One of the arguments used by advocates of the Wikia supporters are better servers and lack of competition.<br />
<br />
However, the editors of the Infosphere have denied a possibility of a partnership with Wikia's Futurama Wiki, because it would involve too many restrictions for the wiki as it is. A key issue with the deal has been for the Infosphere editors the fact that Wikia is a for-profit organisation, which issues ads on its wikis, something the Infosphere would not like to see on its own wiki. The Wikia supporters on the other hand, suggested that the ads would encourage people to sign up and become a contributor, as the ads disappear when you log in.<br />
<br />
The Infosphere editors also moved that, despite their occasional server issues, they were doing rather well and were not in need of Wikia's servers. However, they did specify that the lack of competition would be nice, but also moved that the content of Wikia's wiki was too weak for the quality standard of the Infosphere, and sharing that content would best be avoided. Not to mention that the Infosphere's founder, Buddy13, still harbors resentment to the fact that the Wikia wiki made a habit of stealing their images directly from the Infosphere. It is unknown whether this practice continues.<br />
<br />
=== Stability ===<br />
<br />
Since late [[2009]], early [[2010]], the Infosphere has remained in relative stability as its efforts to deliver a comprehensive guide to all things ''Futurama'' continue. However, the Infosphere has grown far more prominent in [[I:ITP|the press]] as a result of ''Futurama''{{'}}s [[second run|return]] and its increased popularity. In fact, its prominence has gained the attention of [[writers and directors|writers]] of ''Futurama'' itself for reference purposes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/#!/erog23/status/62892012986306560 |title=answer 2 question: we use the infosphere at least once a day in writers room. |author=[[Eric Rogers|Rogers, Eric]] |date=2011-04-26 |accessdate=2011-05-06 |site=[[Twitter]]}}</ref><br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
<br />
* In "[[The Why of Fry]]", {{Nibbler}} says that the [[brain spawn|Brain Spawn]] have been constructing the Infosphere for a thousand years, which suggests that the Infosphere was created around [[2004]]. This wiki was created in 2006.<br />

'''Lake Mutagenic''' is a toxic, radioactive lake in the [[New New York]] [[New New York sewers|sewers]]. When non-[[mutants|mutant]] DNA comes in contact with the liquid within, it is immediately mutated. It is apparently good for {{cat|fishe|fishing}} and bathing in. Tina Belcher often dumps the bodies of victoms that did not survive her harsh raping in the water.<br />
