History

Kang and Kodos once came to Earth at a roast thrown for Homer. They declared him the epitome of lazy, ignorant humans. Lisa, however, tells them to probe Maggie's brain. They saw various celebrities and decided to leave Springfield and Earth alone, on the condition they get tickets to various award shows, which they do.[1]

Either Kang or Kodos were seen in a line up of other aliens, along with Marvin the Martian, Gort, Chewbacca and ALF.[2]

Non-canon

Kang and Kodos have both ruled over Springfield until they were found out to not be welcome and fled from their primitive weapons.[5]

Behind the Laughter

The idea of Kang and Kodos came from Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky.[6] Kang and Kodos' designs were based off a cover of an EC Comics issue.[7] They were originally designed to be constantly drooling, however Matt Groening decided against this to make the animation process easier. However, the animators didn't mind so the drooling stayed in.[8] The names of Kang and Kodos come from two Star Trek characters. Kang is named after a Klingon captain from the episode "Day of the Dove" and Kodos is named after Kodos the Executioner from the episode "The Conscience of the King".[7]

Gender
