Wikipedia
Bender Bending RodrÃguez (designated in-universe as Bending Unit 22, unit number 1,729, serial number 2716057) is a main character in the animated television series Futurama. He was created by series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, and is voiced by John DiMaggio. He fulfills a comic, antihero-type role in Futurama and is described by fellow character Leela as an " alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler".
According to the character's backstory, Bender was built in Tijuana, Mexico (the other characters refer to his "swarthy Latin charm"). Viewers are informed, through his own testimony, of Bender's prejudice against non- robots: His dialogue often contains anti-human expressions such as "kill all humans". Exceptions who are not subject to Bender's prejudicial attitude are those individuals on his "Do Not Kill" list, which seems to comprise only his best friend Fry and his colleague Hermes (Hermes is added after the episode " Lethal Inspection"). However, Bender is also occasionally portrayed as possessing a sympathetic side, suggesting that he is not as belligerent as he claims, a view often echoed by his friends.
Bender was an American hard rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Bender had a local reach for some time before being signed onto TVT Records. The band has produced two albums, the first called Joe released in 1995, and later an album called Jehovah's Hitlist released in 1998 independently and later remastered and re-released on TVT Records in 2000. In 2005, a source close to the band stated that Bender would remain "inactive until further notice."
Their more popular songs, "Isolate" and "Superfly", were featured on the game ATV Offroad Fury for PlayStation 2. The song "Angel Dust" also appeared in the movie 3000 Miles to Graceland starring Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell.
The surname Bender derives from both British and German origin. In England, it derives from old Benden or Benbow. In Germany, it is a form of Fassbinder ( Cooper). It is an occupational name in both English and German forms.
Alex Buchanan, better known by his stage name Bender, is a Canadian underground hip hop artist. He is a member of the group Flight Distance and is a former King of the Dot champion. Bender is also a professional artist.
