Profiles in Villainy
Hank Scorpio
Scorpio! He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
Beware of Scorpio! His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world, and his employees' health.
He'll welcome you into his lair, like the nobleman welcomes his guest... with free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
But beware of his generous pensions, plus three weeks paid vacation each year... and on Fridays, the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer! He loves German beer!
The megalomaniacal genius and owner of the world-dominating Globex Corporation, Hank Scorpio was voiced by Albert Brooks. The affable villain first appeared in the second episode of the eighth season of The Simpsons, airing on November 3rd, 1996.
