Farnsworth and his Atomic Supermen.
The Atomic Supermen were created by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. They were created to challenge the Harlem Globetrotters in basketball. Their growth rate was increased by feeding them chronitons, leading to time skips throughout the universe.
Three of the supermen are named in the episode: Arachneon (a spider-human hybrid), Grotreon (a giant with extensible arms), and Thorius (a man with a cannon embedded in his chest).
The Atomic Supermen are a reference to the Ed Wood film Bride of the Monster, where the character Dr. Eric Vornoff, played by Bela Lugosi, is planning to create an army of Atomic Supermen in order to take over the world.
