History Recap / ThePowerpuffGirlss2E2CollectHerSupperVillain

-->'''Narrator''': Sheesh, buddy! Get a life!

-->'''Professor Utonium''': Let me tell you something, Lenny. You may have all of the toys, all of the merchandise, all of the so-called "collector's value." But one thing you don't have, Lenny, is true fandom. For a true fan wouldn't want to selfishly keep the girls to himself. A true fan would want them to be free. Free to do the things they do best. To do the things we love most about them. Now why don't you be a fan...and tell me where they are?

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Lenny Baxter. He collects so many Powerpuff Girls merchandise to the point it comes off as creepy. But when his collection is completed, his obsession drives him to steal the girls' possessions and eventually the girls themselves.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Lenny's obsession to collect more Powerpuff Girls "merchandise" drives him to steal their personal belongings by moving faster than they can see and then [[LivingDollCollector trap the girls themselves.]] By all appearances, he's non-powered, but his collection is his one perceived purpose in life and having any item opened causes him physical pain and nausea. This combined with his glowing red eyes upon greeting the girls before capturing them could mean his collection empowers him by fueling his obssession.

* PapaWolf: When hearing his daughters scream, the Professor wastes no time to take action.

* HenpeckedHusband: The moment as Harold seems to be about somethng that might upset her plans, Marianne immediatly threatens her husband and urders him to do as she says.

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Lenny Baxter. He collects so many Powerpuff Girls merchandise to the point it comes off as creepy.

* AdultFear: If you look at it in a particular way, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a creepy, obese man kidnapped a man's daughters for his own sick desires]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When the Professor and the children start opening his collected packages (upsetting their collector's value), Lenny reacts in the same way most villains do when they are being beaten by the Girls.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The Smith’s teenage son Bud has green hair.

'''Supper Villain''': The Powerpuff Girls' new next door neighbors, The Smiths, seem very nice and average—until the father Harold Smith reveals his ill-fated aspiration of becoming a super villain

* NowWhat: Lenny asks himself this question when he learns that he has acquired every kind of Powerpuff merchandise there is, so there is nothing left for him to pursuit. His answer is finding other things related to the Powerpuff Girls to collect, like their personal belongings and eventually the girls themselves.

* ProductPlacement: Deliberately averted. The creators were very conscious make the in-universe merch as absurd as possible and not to depict any of the real-life ''PPG'' merchandise being released at the time so it wouldn't come across as this. Ironically, some products, such as the waffle iron, ended up getting {{defictionalized}}.

-->'''Narrator: Uh-oh, looks like evil runs in the family!
