WithinFuturama, Professor Farnsworth is a uniquely important fixture.
His inventions can be used to set up a story, complicate a plot, or resolve a conflict.
However, it’s also one that works on a certain level.
His confidence and swagger as a genius in his field translate easily to the world of high fashion.
After suffering a breakdown, Farnsworth eventually went to school, honing his intellect into a uniquely brilliant mind.
Eventually hired by Mom’s Friendly Robot Company, Farnsworth was crucial to the development of modern robots.
Unknownly, he also left her pregnant with the youngest of her sons, Igner.
Farnsworth remained an important figure in the scienfitifc community, albeit often overshadowed by his former student Ogden Wernstrom.
Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.
