Character Description
Appearance
Flexo, a Bending Unit, is identical to Bender in appearance, as well as most mannerisms. Like Bender, his finish is "Foghat Grey" (as opposed to gold, as explained in "The Farnsworth Parabox"). Even his voice is identical to Bender's, and when the two are forced to fight, the fight is perfectly symmetrical. The sole exception to their identical appearance is the fact that Flexo has a black metal goatee affixed to the base of his head.
Personality
Flexo is similar to Bender in that he often interjects conversations with cruel and cutting remarks, however he is unlike Bender in that he universally follows them up with a hearty laugh, and a compliment to the person at whom the "insult" was directed. For instance, in "The Lesser of Two Evils", he remarks to Fry that sharing the watch for the Jumbonium atom was him "8 hours of solid boredom" only to follow with a laugh and "nah I'm kiddin', you're a wonderful man!" While initially it is assumed by Fry, that this is a deceptive personality trait; it later becomes apparent that he is, in fact, genuinely kind.
Family
- Bender, identical model
- Angleyne, ex-wife and lover as of Bendless Love.
Additional Info
Trivia
- Flexo's Serial Number is 3370318, a number expressible as the sum of two cubes ((119^3) + (119^3))
- Flexo was going to appear on Crimes of the Hot but was taken out to avoid confusion with the fans who haven't seen him before
Quotes
Flexo : Whatever it takes to shut your yapper. Nah, I'm just kidding, you're a joker.
[after being slapped by Bender]
Flexo: Thanks, I appreciate that. Nah, I'm joshing with you, that was really annoying!
[Flexo was just crushed by an unbendable girder]
Angleyne: Flexo, are you okay?
Flexo: Sure, never better. [coughs] Nah, I'm yankin' your chain, I'm dying.
