Dr. Elefun introduces Astro to his unfinished robot mother and father in Atlas Lives Again. Soon after, the two parents are kidnapped by Atlas, however Astro sucessfully rescues them.
Papa, although built to look like an adult, attends school just like Astro does. He doesn't think clearly and will often jump to conclusions before he knows the whole story about something, he also has somewhat of a short temper. But Papa always has good intentions in mind, especially when it comes to his childrens' well being.
Although Papa has no name of his own in most languages, Papa is named Gédéon in the French version.
