- This article is about the Futurama character. For the real person, see Mark Mothersbaugh.
The mutated Mark Mothersbaugh is the result of a freaky accident which may have involved Lake Mutagenic water. In the 31st century, he is still the lead singer of Devo, a job he has kept at least part time since 1972, but has become a green octopus-like mutant with four eyes, whose DNA is 40% potato. Mothersbaugh participated in the Devolution Revolution of September of 3010 that officially granted the Sewer Mutants their freedom.
