The Mutant Atomic Supermen are a group of male, mutated basketball players and creations Professor Farnsworth has always fantasized about making. He made some for real when the Globetrotters challenged Earth to a basketball game. The Supermen were winning against the Globetrotters until Aracneon was killed and replaced with Fry, who lost the game.
