Character Information
|
Hank Scorpio is an evil genius and owner of Globex Corporation.
Appearance
Scorpio, despite being a genius, proved to be an ideal boss, welcoming the Simpson family with a condom and a friendly greeting. However, being an evil genius is still his priority, and over the episode he delivers a video threat to the United Nations, in which he destroys a bridge with a giant satellite laser device, but is annoyed that some of them seemed to think the bridge collapsed on its own. Later, he tries to kill a Mr. Bont (a parody of James Bond) who cleverly escapes but is tackled by Homer before being rapidly executed in turn by Scorpio's guards. When Homer comes to Scorpio and tells him that he wants to take his family back to Springfield, a battle between Globex and the U.S government is taking place, and Homer sympathizes with him having problems with the government. Though Scorpio says he would like to have Homer stay, he told to do what he felt he should do, and tells Paul he would do him a favor if he were to kill some people (likely referring to the soldiers sent by the government), before going grabbing a boomerang and killing several soldiers while laughing sadly.
Scorpio later succeeds in taking over the East Coast of the United States. He sends Homer is a letter saying that Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without him, and gives him the Denver Broncos as gift, though he knew Homer wanted the Dallas Cowboys, he said it was a start. He later invites Homer if he finds himself in the East Coast [1].
Scorpio was recognized by the Springfield Wall of Fame as being a philanthropist [2].
Hank Scorpio was imprisoned in a Turkish prison for trading ray guns. Homer Simpson was thrown into the same cell as he was after trying to sneak a sandwich out of Turkey. After the guards take a bite out of the sandwich and died of food poisoning, Homer and Hank escaped the prison[3].
He has a son often referred to as "Gold Star". His son displays many similar characteristics such as a desire to take over the world. He dresses identically to his father[4].
