Leonardo da Vinci is a relatively stupid person from Planet Vinci, who visited Earth in the 15th and 16th century when he no longer could stand being mocked for his stupidity. On Earth he was considered a genius, and became a scientist, painter, engineer, inventor, mathematician and writer among other things. There, Da Vinci was History's greatest artist and inventor. He created flying machines, engines, submarines. He eventually left Earth when he couldn't stand being surrounded by so stupid people.
In 3010, he found his long lost invention thanks to the professor and Fry. The invention, a doomsday machine, was used to attack his enemies on Planet Vinci, but Fry managed to stop it before killing too many.
Da Vinci was presumably killed when hit by a cog from his malfunctioning doomsday machine.

[edit] Quotes
Leonardo da Vinci: You have learned my big secret... I was but a visitor to Earth. In truth, I am what you call, a space alien.
Leonardo da Vinci: Behold, my unstoppable doomsday machine!
Philip J. Fry: And I helped! ...wait, you told me it was an unstoppable ice cream machine!
Leonardo da Vinci: Ice cream is just a by-product of the machine. It's primary purpose is to exterminate everyone who ever made me feel inferior!
Leonardo da Vinci: Oh yeah?! Let's see how hard you're laughing when my doomsday machine chops off your face!
[edit] Trivia
- He is the idol of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, or at least he was until them finally meeting in "The Duh-Vinci Code".
- Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth claims to have had his beard (which was later destroyed by Fry), but da Vinci still bears it in "The Duh-Vinci Code". Since the beard contained da Vinci's personal blueprints, it is most likely that he grew a new beard since.
- Philip J. Fry recurringly mistakes him for Leonardo di Caprio, a 20th century actor.
- Bender stole his Mona Lisa painting when he was travelling in time for the Scammers.
- His name literally means Leonardo from Vinci in Italian, outside of Futurama due to the fact that he comes from the town of Vinci. For this reason he is called only Leonardo on his home planet but Leonardo da Vinci on Earth, reflecting both the planet he comes from and the village he claimed to come from.
