His company offered Homer Simpson an ideal job and a new home for his family in the planned community of Cypress Creek. Scorpio, despite being an evil genius, proved to be an ideal boss, welcoming the Simpson family with a large gift basket 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. 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.
Creation
Scorpio's character parodies evil villains from James Bond movies, especially Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Unlike the Bond villains, Scorpio genuinely seems to care about the well-being of his people, though. The episode even has a Bond-esque closing song (a direct parody of the theme to Goldfinger), which plays during the end credits. In addition to his satellite laser (which Homer helped oversee), a reference was made to Weather Control and Bacteriological Warfare divisions within the Globex Corporation.
