The Big Brain is literally the mastermind of the fearsame race that is called the [[Brain Spawn]]. There may be several Big Brains, but we probably only ever have seen one. It was instrumental in the attempted invasion and eradication of [[Earth]] and resided in New New York's [[New New York#Public Library|Public Library]], where it was fielded by [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. The Big Brain has the ability to create fictional alternate realities (as found in books) and seal its enemies in it. Fry and Leela chase the brain through several literary classics like ''Moby Dick'', ''Tom Sawyer'' and ''Pride and Prejudice''.

It then leaves Earth, and the [[Nibblonians]] seize the opportunity to destroy the invading Brainspawn by devouring them. The Big Brain has another appearance when the Brainspawn create [[The Infosphere|the Infosphere]], though it may be another Big Brain.
=== Trivia ===
*In {{commentary|4ACV10|code=yes}}, [[Billy West]] notes that the voice that [[Maurice LaMarche]] does for the Big Brain is rather creepy.
**LaMarche has also voiced a character named Brain in the {{w|Warner Bros.|Warner Brothers}} {{t.v.}} series ''{{w|Pinky and the Brain}}''.


Like all other Brainspawn, the Big Brain cannot stupefy [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] as he has no [[Delta Brain Wave]], the only way to deal with him is to argue. This is dangerous, as the Brains are clever and Fry is stupid. But Fry also has a fair idea of what is right and what is not, so he eventually chooses to do the right thing. Fry pictures the Big Brain as a giant nerd, and thus instantly finds the place where it hides: the Library. Hard thinking by other people hurts the Big Brain, like all Brainswapn - probably one reason why they hate all conscious thought, maybe the Delta Brain Wave is harmful to them. Like the other Brainspawn, the Big Brain has the ability to float and to project a stupefication field that eradicates all intelligence inside the bast radius.

The Big Brain was the mastermind of the Brain Spawn invasion of Earth. [3ACV07] There may be several Big Brains, but only one was present at the invasion, and the Nibblonians implied that it was unique. It was instrumental in the attempted invasion and eradication of Earth and resided in New New York's Public Library during it, where it was fielded by Fry and Leela. The Big Brain has the ability to create fictional alternate realities (as found in books) and seal its enemies in it. Fry and Leela chased the brain through several literary classics like Moby Dick, Tom Sawyer and Pride and Prejudice. While it was distracted, Fry made use of this ability and wrote a short story of its own, thus shaping a fictional reality himself in which the Big Brain became trapped and did whatever he wrote. It then left Earth, and the Nibblonians seized the opportunity to destroy the invading Brain Spawn by devouring them. A Big Brain was present when the Brain Spawn created the Infosphere, [4ACV10] though it may have been another Big Brain.

Like all other Brain Spawn, the Big Brain can stupefy all animals with the exception of Fry as he lacks Delta Brain Wave. It also has the ability to float.
