Bender Bending Rodríguez, (born 2996), designated Bending Unit 22, and commonly known as Bender, is a bending unit created by a division of MomCorp in Tijuana, Mexico. Bender is defined as a hedonistic, nihilistic anarchist with absolutely no self-restraint or inhibitions. He will pursue whatever target he sets his mind to and rarely will allow concerns over others get in his way. He often builds himself up as a sociopath but despite this, pangs of empathy overcome him.
