SOON TO BE A HIT TELEVISION SHOW

Facing continual defeat when playing X-Cube 360 online, Cubert boosts Bender’s CPU to make him run much faster. Cubert, Fry and Bender rejoin the game, and the robot easily thrashes their opponents. Unfortunately, in the real world their three antagonists are Mom’s sons, who complain to her about their defeat. Using a hidden camera to spy on her boys’ rivals, Mom sees how Bender’s processor has been overclocked, violating his licence agreement; Mom immediately has Cubert arrested by the police, along with his father, Professor Farnsworth. Meanwhile, Leela has an early life crisis, deciding to dump Fry and move on with her life away from Planet Express. As Bender continues to increase his mental faculties Mom sends her robots to factory reset him; but Bender easily overpowers his attackers, and after removing their processors for himself, he leaves Planet Express to go into hiding. With the professor and Cubert now facing a life sentence, Fry sets out to track down Bender – only to discover that his friend has boosted his intelligence so much that he has become an omnipotent, god-like being with delusions of grandeur…
