Bender Bending Rodríguez, designated Bending Unit 22, is a bending unit created by a division of MomCorp in Tijuana, Mexico, and his serial number is 2716057. His mugshot id number is 01473. He is Fry's best friend. Bender drinks copious amounts of alcohol to recharge his fuel cells. He's constantly trying to gain attention, apparently to maintain his already over-inflated ego. He lives with Fry in his closet-sized apartment, fully equipped with an apartment-sized closet.
