His natural resistance to telepathic probes made him the ultimate weapon against the Dark One in Season 5's "Into the Wild Green Yonder." The ancient and malicious Dark One could manipulate almost anyone or learn their next move through its telepathic abilities. However, the Brainspawn weren't the only enemies Fry saved the universe from. Although Fry was briefly sent into the past and given the chance to prevent this outcome (restoring his original life but dooming the future), Fry ultimately decided to save the universe. Fry had been prophesied - due to his lack of delta brainwaves and his ensuing natural resistance to mind-affecting attacks - as the Nibbloion's fabled "Mighty One." As a result, he needed to live into the 31st century to defeat the Brainspawn and save the universe. RELATED: Futurama: The Show Was Almost Completely Different In Some Huge Waysīut in one last act of spite, the Brainspawn revealed it had been Nibbler, who had ensured Fry was frozen in the first place.
The Brainspawn's greatest weapon was a telepathic ability to dampen the intelligence of anyone they come into contact with, reducing any resistance. Season 3's "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" revealed Nibbler was actually a member of an ancient race that had long protected the galaxy from threats such as the Brainspawn, a species that harvested the knowledge of all other known races and wiped out all life once they deemed their mission complete. In Futurama's seven seasons, multiple episodes teased Fry's full role as a savior of the universe, including his ties with Nibbler, the seemingly benign alien pet Leela adopted in the show's first season.
But over the course of the series, the largely unassuming Fry was revealed to have a far more vital role in the future of not just the human race, but the fate of the entire universe. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry quickly made a life for himself, finding work with Planet Express and developing connections with the likes of Bender and Leela. Born in the late 20th century, Fry had few prospects in life before being cryogenically frozen for a thousand years.
