| - Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate is a secondary character from TV Series "Futurama". He is a male Human from the Globetrotter Homeworld. In addition to being Captain of the Globetrotters' basketball team, he is Senior Lecturer in Physics at Globetrotter University, the Downtown Professor of Applied Physics at Mars University, and the author of the The Mathketball Diaries. Along with his team, Bubblegum joined forces with Professor Farnsworth and the Planet Express crew on numerous occasions. The Globetrotters helped the Professor figure out how to stop time skips and better understand the time travel pradoxicality equation, having fought for Earth in the battle with the Scammer Aliens, solved a math problem that would allow him and his employees to return to their original bodies, and helped Amy restart the Earth's rotation after the Thubanians had stopped it. Additionally, Ethan Tate was a judge on the TV show Iron Cook, witnessed the robbing of the Quantum Gemerald from the Museum of Natural History by the New Justice Team, went out on a date with Yivo, a planet-sized alien, attended the implosion of the violet dwarf star ceremony, as well as the 100th Delivery Party, and celebrated a non-canonical Kwanzaa 3010 with the Conrad family in their apartment. He is voiced by Phil LaMarr.
- Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate is the leader of the Harlem Globetrotters. He once declared a war of basketball on Earth for no practical reason. Professor Farnsworth challenged him with a team of Atomic Supermen. However, since they turned out to be mere tots, he had his crew extract chronitons from the Tempus Nebula to accelerate their growth. During the game at Madison Cube Garden, it seems that Farnsworth will win. Then suddenly, random time skips caught by the chroniton harvest have destabilized the nebula, accelerating the game, allowing the Globetrotters to win. Despite this victory, the Globetrotters see that the time skips could lead to the destruction of the universe. Bubblegum offered his assistance to Farnsworth, as he was an expert in physics at Globetrotter University. They soon figured to move a cluster of stars to divert the chronitons to the empty side of the universe. However, it would take a "bad-ass" gravity pump to move stars, including all the money on Earth, days or weeks to build it and to carefully attach it to the Planet Express ship. Luckily, convenient time skips work in their favor, allowing them to complete their task. Unfortunately, their efforts had failed, as proven by a sudden skip to Fry and Leela's wedding. Farnsworth realized that diverting chronitons is mathematically impossible, as the time skips get worse, aging isolated spots at a time. They gathered the finest minds in the universe, which happened to be the Globetrotters. "Sweet" Clyde Dixon managed to figure that instead of destroying the nebula, which would take out half the universe, they rather cause an implosion, which would require a doomsday device, which Farnsworth had a collection of. The Globetrotters decide to leave, but Bender pleads to go with them. Bubblegum tells Bender that though he can talk trash and handle the ball but asks the robot if he was funky enough to be a Globetrotter; Bender meekly answers no. Bubblegum later became a judge during Elzar and Bender's cooking match, along with Morbo and Martha Stewart's head. They ultimately chose the latter, as the food he cooked tasted "funky", due to the LSD in it. The Globetrotters later travel to Earth to figure out how to use paradox free time travel. Ethan figured out that it was possible, however, creating other time duplicates always ends in said time duplicates being doomed. Ethan helps retake Earth from the Scammers, commanding a Globetrotter ship with a number of other Globetrotters.
