Steve Mobbs founded Mapple Inc. but was later fired from the company. After an unknown amount of time in duration he returned as the companies CIO (Chief Imaginative Officer). He is a bit of a recluse, spending most of his time in Mapple's undersea headquarters. He always wears a black turtleneck, and one of his favorite phrases is "insanely great." He also has a strong vain streak, as seen when a Mapple employee told him that Lisa was there to see him, and he was busy checking on how many times he appeared in search engine results. His vanity is also seen when he applies the phrase "insanely great" to himself.
