Wernstrom...!

Professor Farnsworth

Professor Ogden Wernstrom (born August 13, 2883) is a scientist and professor at Mars University. He is a major antagonist in Futurama.

Rivalry with Hubert[]

A century ago, Wernstrom was a promising student of Professor Farnsworth but became his bitter enemy when he gave him an A- on a test, the reason being poor penmanship. He declared that he would have his revenge on Hubert even if it took 100 years, which he eventually did in "A Big Piece of Garbage".

The rivals temporarily became friends when the Anomaly appeared in the events of "The Beast with a Billion Backs" but fell out and became bitter enemies again.

Family[]

In Bender's Game, it is revealed that he has also been married to Mom multiple times and is the father of Walt and Larry.
