Igner is youngest and dumbest of Mom's sons, and the only son of Hubert Farnsworth. As the dumbest of the three, he is often prone to slapstick events, and unquestioningly does what his brothers ask him to.
Personality
While Igner is the dumbest of Mom's sons, and often does what he is asked without thinking, he can actually do the right thing when he puts his mind to it. While dumb, he is actually sincere and good at heart, something which cannot be said about his oldest brother, Walt. Although neither of the brothers is as evil as their mother, Igner is the only one to question and sabotage for his brothers.
Biography
Mom got pregnant while still seeing Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, who she later broke up with. She decided to keep the baby, who would later be named Igner, without telling the Professor, and it wasn't until Igner was a grown man that the Professor first learned about his son. At Igner's birth, Mom flipped a coin whether to keep her son or the afterbirth, but ultimately kept her son.
Igner grew up assuming that he shared father with his older brothers, Walt and Larry, as their mother never told him otherwise. Along with them, he later started working for Mom in Mom's Friendly Robot Company.
In 3008, Igner eavesdrops on Mom telling his brothers about his secret father. By the Planet Express attack on the Mombil "mine", he helps the Planet Express crew to flee instead of capturing them, as he had been ordered, leaving the PE crew pleased but puzzled. Later on, he tells Farnsworth about him being his father, and he helps the crew destroy the anti-backwards crystal and effectively the usage of dark matter as fuel. According to Mom, Igner has never been hugged, until Farnsworth requested it.
