WERNSTROM!!
Professor Ogden Wernstrom
http://i13.tinypic.com/5zg8u2h.jpg
(Voiced by David Herman) - Rival of Professor Farnsworth (who usually greets Ogden with a contemptful "Wernstrom!") who resents the "A-" grade Farnsworth gave him for sloppy penmanship when Wernstrom was completing his senior year in 2900. Wernstrom is in his 120s, at least forty years younger than Farnsworth. Wernstrom swore revenge, "even if it takes [him] a hundred years!" In 3000, Wernstrom finally achieves his goal when Wernstrom beat Farnsworth in the Annual Inventors' Symposium, publicly giving Farnsworth's Smelloscope the worst grade imaginable, an "A - -".
Despite this condemnation, the Smell-o-scope proves essential in saving the Earth from a giant mass of waste in orbit from the 21st Century. Wernstrom is given the task of stopping the great mass of trash when Farnsworth's plan, to blow it up with a timed bomb, fails when he incorrectly wires the timer. For his cooperation, Wernstrom demands and receives tenure, a big research grant, a lab, and five graduate students (at least three of them Chinese by his request). He then abandons the city of New New York to its doom (since he has tenure, he cannot be fired). Wernstrom's Inventors' Symposium award is stripped from him after Farnsworth and the Planet Express crew come up with a second plan, which manages to save New New York, thus prompting another promise of revenge, "even if it takes another hundred years!"
Wernstrom also appears at the Professor's 150th birthday party ("A Clone of My Own") and in the audience of the Nobel Prize ceremony ("Anthology of Interest II"). He later devises a plan to combat global warming with a giant space mirror in "Crimes of the Hot", but after this goes awry he teams up with President Nixon's Head to use the mirror to deactivate every robot on Earth - the robots having been revealed as the source of greenhouse gasses. His final appearance is in "Obsoletely Fabulous" presenting his killbot at Roboticon 3003; He manages to get into a fistfight with Professor Farnsworth over whose killbot was better. The killbots are disgusted by this display of violence and go for a paddleboat ride together.
