Character Information
|
Stephen Hawking is a British theoretical physicist.
History
He arrived in Springfield hoping to see the perfect utopia created by the local MENSA group who had taken control but was dismayed to see it was more of a "fruitopia". When the townspeople began destroying a gazebo, he flew in to rescue Lisa, who was trapped within. As well as a propeller, he also has toothbrush and extending boxing glove (which he uses on Skinner) attachments. He later shares a beer with Homer at Moe's Tavern and plans to steal his "theory of a donut shaped universe", before using his boxing glove to hit Homer when he refuses to pay the bar tab.[1] He was later explained how Bart couldn't see Ray Magini because of a space time continuum, [2] and later used his propeller to get out of a corn maze.[3] He was also seen at Expressions, wearing gold jewellery, including a chain with the equation E=MC2 on, while spinning in circles to a song.

Trivia
- Even though in reality, Professor Hawking is almost completely paralyzed, the animated version of him can somehow make appropriate facial expressions, blink his eyes and move his hands. Also, Hawking cannot use his hands in reality, and is forced to use a brain-computer interface in order to operate the computer on his wheelchair and speak with the voice synthesizer.
