One-time characters from The Simpsons

Hank Scorpio (voiced by Albert Brooks) was a fictional character in The Simpsons episode You Only Move Twice, airdate November 3, 1996.

Scorpio is the owner of a corporation named Globex and offers Homer Simpson an ideal job and a new home for his family in the town of Cypress Creek. Despite being an evil genius with plans for world domination, Scorpio is friendly to Homer, the boss of his dreams. Homer is hired as a supervisor of several technicians working to bring a nuclear reactor online.

Scorpio's character mirrors evil villans from James Bond movies, especially Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and the episode even has a Bond-esque theme song, which plays during the credits. While Homer is happy in Cypress Creek, his family is homesick, and the Simpsons return to Springfield while Scorpio defends his compound from the U.S. government. Upon returning to Springfield, the Simpsons learn that Scorpio has bought the Denver Broncos for Homer, and that he has also managed to seize control of the East Coast of the United States.
