Charles Montgomery “Monty” Burns, usually referred to simply as Mr. Burns, is a fictional character in the animated television series “The Simpsons”. He is the wealthy, greedy, and villainous owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and is the boss of Homer Simpson, the show’s main character.
Mr. Burns is known for his ruthlessly enterprising nature, often scheming to increase his already vast wealth or power. He is typically depicted as having little concern for the well-being of his employees or the environment, reflecting a caricature of corporate greed.
Despite being extremely old, Burns is kept alive by extensive medical treatments and his sheer will to live and amass more power. His advanced age is often used for humor, as he is portrayed as being out of touch with modern society and has antiquated habits and viewpoints.
