Biography

Zapp Brannigan is a 25-Star General in the Democratic Order of Planets and captain of the Nimbus.

Although he claims to be a strategic genius, he is actually an imbecile and a coward. He also suffers from a learning disorder called sexlexia. He is seldom seen without his second in command, Kif Kroker.

He repeatedly attempts to seduce Leela, but she invariably turns him away (except the first time they meet).

The central law of DOOP, Brannigan's Law, is named after him.
