Mr. Burns

Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber Burns is the main antagonist in The Simpsons. He is an elderly, skinny man who is shown as being cruel, bitter, cynical, heartless and greedy. Burns owns and runs the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

Burns frequently orders his aide, Waylon Smithers, to "release the hounds," so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billion-dollar range, although at one point it slipped to "only" $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp. Burns uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities.

In HTF form, he is a dark blue shrew.

His catchphrases are "Excellent!", "Release the hounds!", and "Who is that X?" (Referring to Homer).
