'''Mr. Astor''' is a very wealthy male [[Humans|Human]]. He was, in someway, responsible for [[The Mutants Are Revolting|the declaration of Mutant freedom]] of September of [[3010]]. Astor is also one of the survivors of the [[2912]] [[Land Titanic]] disaster.<br />
<br />
His first name appears to be Mister.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
On 10 April, [[2912]], he went on a cruise with [[Mrs. Astor|his wife]]. Unfortunately, [[Land Titanic|the ship]] sank. Mrs. Astor thought she lost him, but would later discover he had actually been safe the whole time.<br />
<br />
Mr. Astor wrote Mrs. Astor a message in a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald|quantum force gemerald]] which was later discovered by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Amy Wong|Amy]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]], along with the [[Land Titanic]]'s original passenger manifest.<br />
<br />
[[Leela's Grandmother]] explained that Mr. Astor saved [[Leela's Great-Grandmother|her mother]]'s life by giving her his place in a [[Life Car]]. His act of generosity caused him to land-drown and be completely altered in the [[NNY Sewers]].<br />
<br />
When Leela and Mutated [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] kissed by the struggle's end, his mutation strangely came off. The mutation said its name was Mr. Astor. It turned out he did not perish that fateful day, but rather plummeted into the [[Lake Mutagenic|toxic lake]], where he mutated and leaped into solitude until Fry stepped into his mouth and lodged there. Mrs. Astor acknowledged her husband and hugged him. They were reunited.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*He is likely a direct reference to {{w|John Jacob Astor IV}} of the {{w|RMS Titanic}}, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.<br />
*When Mr. Astor first appeared in [[Futurama|the series]], he was seen bald and with full hair. It's unknown whether it was a joke or simply a mistake.<br />
*An explanation for his separation from Fry might be that he didn't feel comfortable kissing Leela, as he they hadn't (formally) met before.<br />
*[[Mrs. Astor]] once addressed him as "Mister," so it might be his first name.<br />
