Robot Santa is a supporting antagonist in the cartoon series Futurama - due to his nature he is sometimes referred to as "Evil Santa" by fans.
Originally created in 2801 by Mom's Friendly Robot Company as a way to find out who has been naughty or nice and give presents to the good and punishment to the bad, his programming suffered a serious error and his standard for good behavior became so insanely high he judged practically everyone as "naughty".
His method of punishment is extreme and every Christmas he terrorizes the world, being sufficiently feared that the population of Earth take to hiding as being out in the open would risk being attacked and potentially killed by the robot.
His programming error was fully revealed in episode, "I Know What You Did Next Xmas". Hubert J. Farnsworth traveled back to 2801 and reversed his Naughty and Nice Sensor in an attempt to turn him good, but that actually caused the malfunction in the first place.
He was voiced by John Goodman, who also portrayed Ocious P. Potter in The Borrowers, Marshall in The Hangover, Howard Stambler in 10 Cloverfield Lane, Bones Darley in Death Sentence, Chuck Long Evan Almighty, a possessed Jonesy in Fallen, and Robert Laybourne in Community, in his first appearance and onward by John DiMaggio, who also voices Bender, Igner, and Joey Mousepad in the same series, as well as Dr. Drakken in Kim Possible, the Joker in Batman: Under the Red Hood, Hannibal McFist in Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Lobo in Justice League Action, Brother Blood in Teen Titans, BlackJack SquarePants in SpongeBob SquarePants, Jesse and Woolter in Zootopia, Tiny Tiger in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Superior Stone in Final Space, King Zøg in Disenchantment, and Arthur in Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Personality[]
Vicious, cruel, and irrational are probably the best words to describe Robot Santa. In human terms, he could probably be considered a complete psychopath - he views almost everyone as deserving of punishment and doesn't shy from using potentially lethal force.
In fact, he regularly engages in such activities, perhaps the only good part about Robot Santa is that he only terrorizes the Earth on Christmas Eve after which he presumably returns to his stronghold on Neptune until the next year.
Despite all of this, however, he apparently thinks what he is doing is right, which only further shows how insane he is. His judgment is so ridiculous that he views someone as naughty just for picking their nose. Despite seeing almost everyone as naughty, there is one known exception: Dr. Zoidberg, who was given a Pogo stick for Christmas (in the words of robot Santa "You have all been very naughty, very very very naughty indeed... (in a kind voice) except you Dr. Zoidberg, this is for you... NOW AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, HA HA! I AM GONNA TEAR OFF YOUR SKIN AND DECK THE HALLS WITH YOUR GUTS!").
Santa is set to the highest level of evil possible. He has no connections to anyone or anything. There is a not a moral circuit in his system, proven by his bloodlust.
Powers and Abilities[]
Robot Santa is armed with many Christmas-themed weaponry and has very few weaknesses, making him very powerful for an essentially minor villain. He also has a stronghold on the planet Neptune where he has a production-factory for his weaponry run by enslaved Neptunians.
Allies[]
Robot Santa is not the kind of villain that makes allies easily, considering his homicidal nature - however, later on in the series he was revealed to be part of an alliance of other holiday-themed villains comprised of himself, Kwanzabot and the Chanukah Zombie. All three of them are equally psychotic though the origins of Kwanzabot and the Chanukah Zombie are unexplained.
