- This article is about the Futurama character. For the physicist, see Stephen Hawking.
Stephen William Hawking is a theoretical physicist and a member of the Vice Presidential Action Rangers. In a What-If scenario, he is shown to be a regular at Panucci's Pizza and often steals credit for other people's discoveries, frequently naming them after himself. He, Fry and the rest VPAR were sucked into the Fry-hole at the end of the scenario.
Like Al Gore's head, in the future his jar is rocket powered. He still can't speak so his jar acts as a robot with the same speaking voice. He has the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes which can temporarily stun people, though he never knew he could do that until he actually did it.
Additional Info
Trivia
- Even though in real life, Hawking is completely paralyzed, in animated form, his eyes blink and he makes some proper facial reactions. This mistake was made on his appearances on The Simpsons as well, though in his appearance in The Beast with a Billion Backs he appears to be completely paralyzed.
