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.
Commendations and Accomplishments
- Defeated an army of Killbots by sacrificing his troops until the bots' pre-set "Kill limit" was reached
- Rented self a medal after leading a successful assault on the Spider world Tarantulon 6.
- Led DOOP to victory over the peaceful Ball-People of planet Spheron 1
- Single-handedly defeated the Retiree People of the Assisted Living Nebula
- Annihalated the Pacifists of the Gandhi Nebula
- Conducted a triumphant carpet bombing on Eden 7
- Author of "Zapp Brannigan's Big Book of War", which is likely a plagiarized version of Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
Family
- Zapp has at least three children, born to Holo-Shed characters who became real. (4ACV01)
- He may also have Amazonian children. (3ACV01)
- Was "host" to a dozen or so Da Nangian spawn. The children were presumably eaten by Zoidberg. (US#004)
Trivia
- Billy West has stated that Zapp Brannigan is how he envisions Captain Kirk playing William Shatner.
- In the commentary for "When Aliens Attack" it is speculated that Zapp got promoted from Captain to 25-star general sometime since we last saw him. However, it is common for the person in command of a ship to be called "Captain" regardless of their actual rank.
