Stop-N-Drop is a widely used brand of [[suicide booth]] in 31st century. According to Stop-N-Drops own advertisements, it has been Americas favorite brand since 2008. This suggest that other manufacturers of suicide booths also exist, although these are apparently less popular.</div>Evil Lincolnhttps://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Positron_shooter&diff=122663Positron shooter2013-06-17T02:26:53Z<p>Evil Lincoln: /* Service History */</p>

<br />
The Positron Shooter is the standard issue infantry weapon of the [[DOOP Army]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Use ==<br />
<br />
The Positron Shooter is a particle weapon that, as the name suggests, fires beams of positrons. When fired, it emits pink rays of energy at subluminal speed. The Positron Shooter requires a lengthy reloading procedure by which the user must turn a 'jack-in-the-box' style hand-crank accompanied by music in the form of 'Pop goes the weasel'. Only when the tune stops is the weapon fully charged and can be used effectively. Attempting to fire a Positron Shooter that is not fully charged will result in the weapon emitting a flaccid ray of energy that falls limply to the ground immediately after exiting the barrel.<br />
<br />
Despite these drawbacks, the Positron Shooter is quite powerful (when charged), easily capable of blowing a hole in the ground large enough for a soldier to wallow in.<br />
<br />
== Service History ==<br />
<br />
The Positron Shooter was widely used by [[DOOP]] forces during the [[Battle of Spheron 1]]. Despite its apparent stopping power, the weapons time-consuming recharge procedure left the DOOP soldiers vulnerable to the [[Spheroids]] counter-attack. This is believed to have been a contributing factor to the heavy human casualties suffered in the battle.<br />

<br />
Fourth Lieutenant '''Kif Kroker''' is an [[Amphibiosan]] working for the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], serving aboard the [[Nimbus]] as first officer to [[Zapp Brannigan]]. Zapp is generally abusive towards Kif, forcing him to do a variety of demeaning tasks, including shaving his armpits, but Kif meekly tolerates this abuse, as he apparently lacks the confidence to defend himself. However, Kif sometimes seeks out advice from Zapp and is called his most loyal officer and best friend. Since [[3003]] he has had [[Kif-Amy relationship|a relationship]] with [[human]] [[Amy Wong]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Kif Kroker has fought in wars against the [[Spheroids]] of [[Spheron 1]] ([[War Is the H-Word|2ACV17]]), the [[Spiderians]] of [[Tarantulon 6]] ([[Three Hundred Big Boys|4ACV16]]), the [[Decapodian Army]] in the [[Decapodian Invasion of Earth]] ([[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]]), and in all the [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] invasions of [[Earth]] ([[When Aliens Attack|1ACV12]], [[The Problem with Popplers|2ACV15]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]]). However, he was at one point discharged from the [[DOOP]] when [[Zapp Brannigan]] blamed most of his mistake on him ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]).<br />
<br />
Kif also briefly served as first officer on the ill-fated intergalactic cruise ship [[Titanic]], and, even more briefly, as captain of said vessel after [[Zapp Brannigan]] abandoned his command leaving Kif to go down with the ship. However, Kif managed to evacuate the ship via the escape pods, which is where he first met [[Amy Wong]].<br />
<br />
Kif fell in love with [[Amy Wong]] after only a brief meeting with her on the [[Titanic]] ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]]). For a whole year, he was too nervous to speak to Amy, but eventually admitted his feelings for her ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]). Despite [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]]' dislike of him, Amy returned his feelings. Ironically, though, it was them who set Kif and Amy up when Zapp forced the captainship upon him after the vessel crashed. They have been together since their first date ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]).<br />
<br />
[[Kif's offspring|Hundreds of unnamed children]] of whom [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] is the mother and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] is the [[smizmar]] when ([[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch|4ACV01]]). They are currently living in the [[Clan Kroker's Sacred Birthing Grounds|the same place where their father was born]], in an immature, tadpole form, and will have grown legs and emerged from the water by [[3023]]. [[Mr. and Mrs. Kroker|Kif's parents]] live there with them ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
Kif Kroker is a nervous and selfconscious individual who suffers from lack of confidence. He is submissive towards [[Zapp Brannigan]], even though Zapp frequently has him do humiliating things. Kif seems like the ideal candidate for General of the [[DOOP Army]], however, he often gets the blame when Zapp makes a mistake and has the credit taken from him by Zapp when he suceeds. However, when under the influence of alcohol, he finds Zapp's statements to be extremely funny.<br />
<br />
=== Friendships and relationships ===<br />
==== Zapp Brannigan ====<br />
[[Zapp Brannigan]] considers Kif to be his closest friend and most loyal officer, and he even tried to comfort Kif after discovering he was in love with [[Amy Wong]], though with very limited success. Kif has been known to insult Zapp behind his back, and despite being rather submissive towards Zapp, Kif once punched Zapp in the stomach after discovering he and Amy had had a brief sexual relationship ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
<br />
==== Amy Wong ====<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|thumb|275px|Kif and Amy's [[Fonfon Rubok|marriage]].]]<br />
{{main|Kif-Amy relationship}}<br />
<br />
In [[3001]], Kif met the [[Mars|Martian]] engineering student [[Amy Wong]] at the [[Titanic]], and exchanges a passionate kiss {{et|1ACV10}}. In [[3003]] they developed an intimate relationship {{et|3ACV01}}, and in [[3008]] Amy became Kif's [[fonfon ru]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|BwaBB]]). They briefly broke up {{et|6ACV04}}, but got back together soon afterwords.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*[[Kif's offspring|Hundreds of unnamed children]], through [[Turanga Leela]].<br />
*[[Amy Wong]], Kif's [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Ru]], or wife, and [[smizmar]] (''see [[Kif-Amy relationship]] for more info'').<br />
*[[Mr. and Mrs. Kroker]], parents.<br />
*Amy's entire [[Amy Wong#Family|family]] through [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]].<br />
*At least one sister was briefly seen in "[[Six Characters in Search of a Story]]".<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Kif is thought to be at least 55 years old, counting his 20 years as a tadpole, his childhood, long enough in the [[DOOP Army]] to become a lieutenant, and the 10 years of [[Futurama|the show]]. Part of this is speculation, though.<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[Maurice LaMarche]] stated that Kif's voice is a combination of {{w|Jon Lovitz}} and {{w|Truman Capote}}.<br />
*Although Kif is somewhat like an amphibian, he is apparently capable of growing stubble ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]).<br />
*Kif has no bones, but is supported by a system of fluid filled bladders.<br />
*Can walk on walls and ceilings.<br />
*Has three nipples ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]).<br />
*Has a camouflage reflex which turns him almost transparent.<br />
**He loses control of this reflex when he becomes nervous.<br />
*Is actually a highly competent crewman, as evidenced during his brief stint with [[Planet Express]] ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]).<br />
*Is a skilled combatant, as he can hit two spiders with a giant double-headed fly swat ([[Three Hundred Big Boys|4ACV16]]).<br />
*Is a great karaoke singer, in particular ''{{w|Total Eclipse Of The Heart}}'', due to his time in the DOOP Boys' Chorus.<br />
*Was killed twice and has been ressurected by [[Yivo]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]) and the [[birthing machine]] ([[Rebirth|6ACV01]]).<br />
*When he is really sick and/or has a hangover, he actually becomes liquid.<br />
*He is a good yet unusual breakdancer ([[That Darn Katz!|6ACV08]]).<br />
*Was shortly promoted to a Captain in the [[DOOP]].<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
*Kif's most notable word (or in this case, noise) would be his trademark sigh. Usually used when confronted with the ineptitude of his superior, Zapp Brannigan.<br />

<br />
The '''DOOP Army''' (sometimes known as the '''Earth Army''') is the protector of all members of the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], such as [[Earth]]. Its motto is "Join the Army, ''What Are You Chicken?''". The Army is often led by legendary 25 Star General [[Zapp Brannigan]] and doesn't seem to care about human life, sending wave after wave of its troops to their deaths on often fruitless missions based on decisions that arguably lack tactical credibility. The DOOP Army generally prefers to wage war against weak, undeveloped or defenseless opponents, such as the pacifists of the [[Gandhi Nebula]], or the "weak and womanlike" [[Spiderians]]. Whenever confronted with aggressive and technologically developed enemies, such as the [[Omicronians]] or [[Decapodians]], the DOOP Army usually suffers crushing defeats due to [[Zapp Brannigan]]'s moronic tactics.<br />
<br />
== Troops ==<br />
Men can sign up and drop out at any time, unless, of course, war is declared. Women, however, were forbidden to join the Army before [[3008]], as they had been known to distract male soldiers, specifically Zapp, with their uniforms. It is likely this restriction has been dropped, though, as two female soldiers are seen on board the Nimbus during [[The Anti-Tentacle Blockade of Earth|the anti-tentacle blockade of Earth]]. Earthican [[Robot|Robots]] are implanted with a Patriotism Circuit, which, in case of emergencies, can be activated, forcing them to serve the DOOP Military. The DOOP Army Soldiers wear green uniforms whilst battling on ground, and red uniforms (similar to those of Zapp and [[Kif Kroker]]) whilst fighting in space. The troops also get a 5% discount at Earthican stores. New recruits undergo a rigorous training program, often practicing all afternoon before being sent into battle.<br />
<br />
== Weapons ==<br />
The primary assault weapon used for ground troops is the [[Positron Shooter]], a type of ray gun requiring a ''Jack-In-The-Box'' style wind-up charging. This charging comes complete with music. The Commander of the Army, Zapp Brannigan, has access to Earth's missiles and other weapons ready to be used during an invasion. The flagship [[Nimbus]] is another powerful resource.<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
There are waves and waves of DOOP army members, but these few have played more important roles.<br />
*[[Zapp Brannigan]], commander.<br />
*[[Kif Kroker]], fourth lieutenant.<br />
*[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], former soldier.<br />
*[[Bender Bending RodrÃguez|Bender]], former soldier.<br />

*[[iHawk]], medic.<br />
*[[Dr. Veins McGee]], medic.<br />
*[[Jellyfish Nurse]], nurse.<br />
*[[Hugh Man]], a double agent for the [[Decapodian]] army.<br />

*[[Nimbus]], flagship.<br />
*[[DOOP Hovercopters|Hovercopters]].<br />
*Hover Jeeps.<br />

*Though not a piece of military equipment, the [[Planet Express Ship]], along with other civilian spacecraft, was sent into battle alongside the army in the defense of [[Earth]] against the [[Omicronians]].<br />
<br />
== Opponents ==<br />
The DOOP Army has fought many battles throughout the years. These are its current and former opponents.<br />

The '''DOOP Army''' (sometimes known as the '''Earth Army''') is the protector of all members of the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], such as [[Earth]]. Its motto is "Join the Army, ''What Are You Chicken?''". The Army is often led by legendary 25 Star General [[Zapp Brannigan]] and doesn't seem to care about human life, sending wave after wave of its troops to their deaths on often fruitless missions based on decisions that arguably lack tactical credibility. The DOOP Army generally prefers to wage war against weak, undeveloped or defenseless opponents, such as the pacifists of the [[Gandhi Nebula]], or the "weak and womanlike" [[Spiderians]]. Whenever confronted with aggressive and technologically developed enemies, such as the [[Omicronians]] or [[Decapodians]], the DOOP Army usually suffers crushing defeats due to [[Zapp Brannigan]]'s moronic tactics.<br />
<br />
== Troops ==<br />
Men can sign up and drop out at any time, unless, of course, war is declared. Women, however, were forbidden to join the Army before [[3008]], as they had been known to distract male soldiers, specifically Zapp, with their uniforms. It is likely this restriction has been dropped, though, as two female soldiers are seen on board the Nimbus during [[The Anti-Tentacle Blockade of Earth|the anti-tentacle blockade of Earth]]. Earthican [[Robot|Robots]] are implanted with a Patriotism Circuit, which, in case of emergencies, can be activated, forcing them to serve the DOOP Military. The DOOP Army Soldiers wear green uniforms whilst battling on ground, and red uniforms (similar to those of Zapp and [[Kif Kroker]]) whilst fighting in space. The troops also get a 5% discount at Earthican stores. New recruits undergo a rigorous training program, often practicing all afternoon before being sent into battle.<br />
<br />
== Weapons ==<br />
The primary assault weapon used for ground troops is the [[Positron Shooter]] a type of ray gun requiring a ''Jack-In-The-Box'' style wind-up charging. This charging comes complete with music. The Commander of the Army, Zapp Brannigan, has access to Earth's missiles and other weapons ready to be used during an invasion. The flagship [[Nimbus]] is another powerful resource.<br />
