Fry because of a time paradox and Turanga Leela due to marriage. He is also Elena Fry's distant grandfather due to have an orange joe hair between her father and distant grandfather and Cubert Farnsworth's father and “creator” because of their relation that would make Cubert and Elena distant cousins since their fathers are related to each other. He alternates between intelligence and amoral senility due to his greatly advanced age of 175.
