10 Tiny Details In Futurama You Definitely Missed

There have been a smattering of villains the Planet Express crew have come up against since Fry stepped out of his freezer tube. From Mom to a planet of bouncing balls, there have been enough antagonists throughout the series to almost make you forget this used to be a show about a delivery company.

One of the most on-the-nose villains was the Zookeeper, a spoof of a comic book villain from when Fry, Leela, and Bender became superheroes. The New Justice League fought the Zookeeper and his pack of highly trained animals, and had to compromise on their morals to defeat him.
