threekules

threekules is a fictional character who appears in the animated television series Futurama. He is a muscular, ape-like alien with a distinctive three-part jaw, hence his name which is a portmanteau of "three" and "Hercules". He is a member of the species known as the "Cycloids" and is often depicted as a powerful, albeit dim-witted, brawler.

threekules is introduced in the episode "A Clockwork Origin," where he is a contestant in a galactic strongman competition. He quickly establishes himself as a formidable opponent, easily overpowering many of the other contestants. His immense strength and savage nature are highlighted throughout the competition, making him a significant obstacle for the main characters.

Despite his intimidating appearance and brute force, threekules is not portrayed as purely villainous. He often acts out of instinct or a simple desire to prove his strength. His limited intelligence means he can be easily manipulated or tricked, a trait that is sometimes exploited by other characters. He has a particular rivalry with Bender, another prominent character in Futurama, often engaging in physical confrontations.

Later appearances of threekules show him continuing to participate in various brawls and competitions, reinforcing his established persona as a powerful and primal alien warrior. His limited vocabulary and focus on physical challenges are consistent across his appearances, making him a memorable, albeit minor, character in the Futurama universe.
