| ~ Herbert Powell |
Herbert "Herb" Powell is a character in the long-running animated television series The Simpsons.
He is Homer Simpson's paternal half-brother who was the owner of a car company named Powell Motors based in Detroit, Michigan, until Homer bankrupted Herb's company into the ground by designing a fashionably-ugly car called "the Homer" that was very overpriced.
Herb is also the paternal half-uncle of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson.
He is voiced by Danny DeVito who also played Philoctetes from Hercules, Dorgle, The Lorax, and Max Medici.
Appearance[]
Herbert looks in many ways similar to homer, since he is his half brother. Herbert is slightly taller than homer, has hair and is slimmer. In the episode Oh Brother, where art thou?, he wore mainly a blue suit and gray tie, Which he is then ironically given again in Brother, Can You Spare 2 Dimes by Ned Flanders.
Personality[]
In Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Herb is a rich business man and car designer who took everything really serious. He treated Homers family as his own and spoiled them with his riches. He was humbled by a Homer after making him bankrupt with his car idea “The Homer,” the car made for the average man. Which is why he was seen homeless in Brother, Can You Spare 2 Dimes. Between the two episodes he's appeared in, his attitude and relationship with Homer changed a lot after bankrupting him, but after getting rich again he forgave Homer and got him the chair he wanted earlier in the episode.
Herb is almost the complete opposite of Homer. He’s intelligent, successful, but is also really lonely, which makes him full of joy after finally meeting his half brother Homer.
Other Appearances[]
In the non-canon episode "Bart's Birthday", Herb tries to help Bart to blow the birthday cake candles out, but he refuses.
