C. Randall Poopenmeyer is a male Human and the Mayor of New New York since at least the year 3000. He is attending to countless public occasions, like the opening of a new tube line, the reward of civic heroism, or the Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser. In spite of his marriage to Mrs. Poopenmeyer, the Mayor seems rather promiscuous, being often seen with other women, such as the Queen of Yonkers. However, he may have just been showing the visiting dignitary around the city as one of his duties.
Personality
Mayor Poopenmeyer is often portrayed as incompetent and corrupt, rather unintelligent, bribable and a pushover, especially in "The Mutants Are Revolting", where he obviously goes along with whatever his largest campaign contributor tells him to do.
