Biography
Dr. Ogden Wernstrom is Professor Farnsworth's nemesis and formerly one of his best students at Mars University slightly over 100 years ago. After one fateful pop quiz which Farnsworth graded an A-minus, Wernstrom swore that he would get his revenge even if it took a hundred years. He briefly succeeded in this at the Academy of Inventors annual symposioum in 3000 when he won the Academy Prize and got to grade Farnsworth's contribution, the Smell-O-Scope concept, an A-minus-minus. However, the Academy Prize was taken away from him again after the events concerning a giant ball of garbage headed straight for New New York and his revenge was thus foiled, yet he swore he would get Farnsworth for this even if it took another hundred years.

Dr. Wernstrom is a member of the University Council of Mars University. Among other things, he is manufacturing and constructing Killbots, which brings him into competition with Professor Farnsworth once again: They got into a fist fight at the "Roboticon 3003" over it. He briefly worked for Earth's government during the Global Warming crisis of 3003 and attempted to kill all robots on Earth with a great electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

Dr. Wernstrum's Creations:

 * Reverse Scuba Suit
 * A variety of Killbots
 * A mirror to deflect sunlight in order to cool down Earth, later modified to deliver a massive EMP shock wave.

Trivia

 * According to the DVD commentaries, Wernstrom was originally intended to be a one-time character, but kept reappearing over the years.
