The '''Borax Kid''' is a [[rock alien]] and a probable inhabitant of [[Neutopia (planet)|Neutopia]]. In [[3011]], {{er|6ACV20}} he won fifty [[currency|dollars]] in a bet he had made with the [[big rock alien]], presumably about whether or not a group of [[Earthican people]] among which was the {{Planet Express|crew}} would manage to work together while on their planet, and went to [[Earth]] to return their genders, when the big rock alien was [[Zapp Brannigan|killed]] before being able to do so itself.

== Additional Info ==
=== Trivia ===
*His name suggests that he is made of {{w|borax}}, or sodium borate, a compound derived from {{w|boron}}.
* His appearance and voice characterisation appear to be based upon the attributes of the 1930s and '40s motion picture actor Clark Gable,  particularly as seen in his portrayal of Rett Butler in ''Gone With the Wind''.
* He has owned Bender's hands on two separate occasions. Once in "Zapp Dingbat" and again in "Assie Come Home."

=== Quotes ===
{{q|
<poem>'''Big rock alien''': I find both genders supremely disappointing. The real reason I administered this bizarre, outer-{{cat|s=no|space}} test was to teach you to work together! But you couldn't. Thanks to you, I lost my bet with the Borax Kid.
{{er|6ACV20}}</poem>
<poem>'''Big rock alien''': Is that you, Borax Kid? I've got your fifty bucks.
{{er|6ACV20}}</poem>
<poem>'''[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]''': Who're you, stranger?
'''Borax Kid''': Well, madam, folks called me the Borax Kid. My friend, the other rock Alien, died without settin' your genitals to right, so I reckon it's up to me to sex you up proper. ''[The Borax Kid turns the men into women and the women into men.]'' Well, I'd best mosey on down to the landing. Sounds like the [[Feldspar Queen]] is about to set sail. You folks watch your genitals now. ''[The Borax Kid leaves.]''  ''[On top of his meteor ship.]'' Come on, boy! Giddy up!
