Description: Bender, full name Bender Bending Rodríguez, designated Bending Unit 22, is a fictional robot character in the animated television series Futurama. He is voiced by John DiMaggio. In the series, Bender plays the role of a comic anti-hero, and is described by Turanga Leela as an alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler and by himself as possessing a swarthy Latin charm.

In the series, Bender is a robot built by Moms Friendly Robot Company at its plant in Tijuana, Mexico (Americas Heartland), circa 2998. He is a Bending-Unit 22, serial number 2716057, chassis number 1729. He was created for the task of bending metal girders for the construction of suicide booths. He swears, fights, argues, smokes cigars, drinks, and gambles. A petty thief, Bender steals other peoples wallets, watches and other valuables at any opportunity. He claims to have no emotions; but occasionally he is portrayed as having them, usually for comedic purpose. The series provides contradictory information about Benders origin. In several episodes, he is portrayed as having been assembled in a factory in his current form only a few years prior to the start of the series. This is supported by the appearance of Flexo, another Bending-Unit 22 robot identical to Bender with the addition of a goatee. However, in Teenage Mutant Leelas Hurdles, he is shown as going through growth and development like an animal and said to have robo- or RNA, a DNA equivalent. In the DVD commentaries, David X. Cohen states that the viewer only sees a full-sized Bender emerge from the machine that built him, while what happened inside the machine was not revealed. His full name is revealed to be Bender Bending Rodríguez in The Luck of the Fryrish, and in The Cyber House Rules the Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium is renamed the Bender B. Rodríguez Orphanarium after him. Bender was educated at Bending State University (with a major in Bending and a minor in Robo-American Studies) and was a member of the Robot House fraternity, Epsilon Rho Rho, as disclosed in Mars University.
