The Darkstar Council
A group comprised of all of the story's main villains and headed by Dr. X. Unsurprisingly, their ultimate goal is to Take Over the World.- Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: The Darkstar Council is an alliance between various villains from various cartoon continuities, all with the same goal. However, it should be pointed out that the alliance members have conflicting loyalties so the alliance
shouldn't make sense. Unless they're all planning on backstabbing each other.- This illustration
does depict the family-esque dynamic that was shared between Dr. Xander, Bell and Samantha alongside Zim and GIR.

Dr. X
Dr. X/Dr. Xander/Dr. Alexander Megalos
Click here to see him as Dr. Alexander Megalos
A mysterious, faceless figure with a flaming head who has his sights set on taking over the world, starting with Megaville.
- Big Bad: Of the webcomic.
- The Blank: Almost. While he does have unblinking Monochromatic Eyes, he lacks a nose and mouth.
- Demonic Possession: While he was apparently not that good before, Grim reveals that the incident that mutated him caused "something" to latch onto him.
- Evil Counterpart: To Professor Utonium. Whereas Utonium created the Powerpuff Girls by accident but loved and raise them to do good, Dr. X created Bell to be a Tyke Bomb for sinister purposes, and despite treating her well, he usually spends more time on his plans than with her.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: Had four extra eyes on his chest, which might justify his shirtlessness.
- Light Is Not Good: His human form had long white hair and wore a white lab coat, and he isn't good by any means.
- Like a Son to Me: He eventually saw Mandark as a son due to his brilliance.
- The Man Behind the Man: He's pretty much the direct cause of everything evil that has occurred up to this point.
- Manipulative Bastard: Manipulated Mandark into serving him. And apparently did the same to Samantha.
- Original Character: He's an original character for the webcomic.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: All his eyes turn red when he gets pissed.
- Villains Out Shopping: When he's not busy plotting.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: His pajama top is a pair of arm warmers, for mercy's sake!
- We Used to Be Friends: He had once had close ties with other scientists, including Professor Utonium, Dr. Nora Wakeman, and Professor Membrane. Now he's currently working against them in the current time.
Bell
Bell
Dr. X's daughter and a Powerpuff Girl-look-alike / copycat / clone. One of the strongest fighters in the Darkstar Council. She manages to give Blossom a real run for her money during their Cat Fight. Has a deep emotional attachment to Mandark and GIR, whom she calls "Girly"
- Affably Evil / Punch-Clock Villain: Aside from doing what her father tells her, she seems to have no interest in the whole world domination plot. When not on a mission she acts like a typical little girl.
- Arch-Enemy: Considering she targeted Blossom twice already, she shaping up to be this to her.
- Batman Can Breathe in Space: Not only that, somehow she can still talk on the Moon. The only thing she needs the space suite for is communication with Earth.
- Bishie Sparkle: In this page.
- Blossom intentionally misses and just cuts the electricity but Bell's still ticked off she was aiming for him in the first place.
- Break the Cutie: She doesn't take Mandark's death well at all. And considering GIR is the only other emotional support she has in her life,she doesn't take incidents that threaten his life like these very well.
- Calling the Old Man Out: After Mandark's death.
- Color Motif: Strongly associated with white.
- Cute and Psycho: She's pretty reserved most of the time, but also seems to enjoy violence, and when she flips, look out!
- Daddy's Little Villain: Her sole real motivation for evil appears to be helping her father.
- Dark Action Girl: A very well-written one.
- Death Glare: A very scary one when Blossom nearly destroys Gir to stop the bomb.
- The Dragon: She seems to have this position since she is the one who seems to do the most fieldwork for the Council.
- Evil Counterpart:
- As a whole, she's this to the Powerpuff girls, being a Dark Action Girl with a Flying Brick powerset whose motivation for being evil -Pleasing her father- mirrors the girl's own on their own path in life.
- To Dee Dee. Both are teenaged girls who are close to science-oriented characters of the same show (Dee Dee for Dexter and Bell for Mandark) and both are white and blue-winged "Angels of Light" but while Dee Dee is the genuine deal and an Angel of Human Origin, Bell is a false angel and a borderline Satanic Archetype who arrives at Mandark in his Moment of Weakness to guide him into a life of sin (Joining the Legion of Doom as an Evil Genius).
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: On this page, she refers to one of the Cluster bots as a "stupid bit character".
- Light Is Not Good: She's has a white Color Motif, and is one of the villains. It's more apparent given the Animesque style of the webcomic, where white is symbolic of "death" in Asian cultures.
- Mirror Character: To all three of the Powerpuff Girls if they were born for a different purpose.
- For Blossom; both girls share a similar meaning in their names, have long long hair, and a romantic interest in a "boy genius" (Bell's own implied Puppy Love for Mandark, Blossom's mutual crush with Dexter) whiling serving a sort of "light" in their bleak lives. While Blossom's influence encourages Dexter's better traits, which saves his life, Bell's influence only further enable Mandark's darker tendencies, which contribute to his death.
- For Bubbles; both girls share a very "cute" personality and a close bond with a Team Pet (Courage for Bubbles, GIR for Bell).
- For Buttercup, they have similar Blood Knight tendencies when on the job. While Buttercup learns to temper her aggression thanks to positive reinforcement of her father and teacher, Bell is firmly capable of killing at a moment's notice if the targets aren't her loved ones and would react violently when they're threatened.
- Moral Myopia: Has a case of this due to her Lack of Empathy, as she tells the dragon emperor, she and the council can harm whoever they want, but someone dare touch her loved ones! NO, THAT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED!!! Naga in return calls her out on being a Hypocrite.
- Oh, Crap!: No one told you to provoke her, Bell.
- Original Character: She's an original character for the webcomic.
- Puppy Love: It seems she used to have a crush on Mandark. Another reason why his death breaks her so much.
- Shout-Out: To the hypothetical "Perfect Little Girl" from the intro to WhoopassStew, the original pilot of The Powerpuff Girls. Bell's younger appearance is undoubtedly based on her, while Bell's older appearance is essentially what said girl would look like as a teenager.
- Slasher Smile: During her first fight with Blossom.
- Tranquil Fury: When Blossom is forced to almost destroy GIR in order to stop the time bomb, she hits a Villainous Breakdown and begins trying to brutalize Blossom with little emotion other than calm, cold anger and a Slasher Smile.
- Tyke Bomb: Strongly hinted to be one of these.
- Villain Protagonist: She's one of the main villains of the webcomic and gets much of the on-panel appearances and focus of her character.
- Villainous Breakdown: When Blossom is forced to almost destroy GIR in order to stop the time bomb, and probably remembering Mandark's death, she snaps. While she may not have started screaming, she gives Blossom the scariest Death Glare of the comic before dropping the Cute and Psycho Dark Action Girl act and turning into an unholy mix of Axe-Crazy she-Berserker and a Soft-Spoken Sadist running on Tranquil Fury. It's... surprisingly unsettling.Bell: (Charging a huge blast aimed right at her face) What's the matter Blossom? (A smile of pure HATRED appears on her face) You look scared.
Susan "Mandark" Astronomonov
Susan "Mandark" Astronomonov
More commonly referred by his nickname, "Mandark", he serves as Dexter's bitter rival in all things science. During one of their usual scuffles, one of his Jackbots managed to get clear aim at Dexter. Dee Dee, however, jumped in the line of fire to save him at the cost of her own life. Mandark took her death as hard as Dexter did, possibly even more so, and with a little prodding from Dr. X and Bell, he convinced himself that Dexter was at fault and plotted to kill him for it by kidnapping Blossom and using her as bait to lure him out. Sure enough, Dexter comes to rescue her, and the two duke it out in one final battle, which cumulates in an emotional breakdown so severe that Mandark outright demands that Dexter kill him. Dexter refuses on the grounds that Dee Dee wouldn't want him to do it, and Mandark, having completely lost the will to live at this point, triggers his lair's self-destruct mechanism and presumably dies in the ensuing explosion.
- Always Someone Better: He initially started out far more intelligent and accomplished than Dexter, but after getting his lab destroyed by Dee Dee and Dexter's increasing competitiveness and competence to surpass him finds Mandark on the losing end. He had even resorted to stealing Dexter's ideas like in the original cartoon, as lampshaded by Dexter here.Blossom: "What the-?! She has a suit just like yours, Dexter!"Dexter: "...her brother was... never very original."
- Arch-Enemy: His rivalry with Dexter has escalated into something both very personal, and very ugly.
- Darker and Edgier: Unlike the cartoonish Laughably Evil traits he had in the original show, his current personality and appearance in the webcomic is pretty much Played for Drama.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While Dee Dee will always have a large part of his heart, Mandark went ballistic insane when he misunderstood Dexter's lecture as a threat to his sister Olga.
- Evil Laugh: Per the source material. "Ha ha-ha! Ha ha-ha ha-ha!"
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Dexter slaps him during his rant. Subverted in that Mandark doesn't shake out of it, and presumably died when he triggers his lab's Self-Destruct Mechanism.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: He practically rushes headlong off it.
- Love Makes You Evil: Well eviler anyway. Before it was just the usual petty villainy stuff. But after Dee Dee's death, things got much more serious.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After he accidentally kills Dee Dee. Then he goes nuts and tries to put the blame on Dexter instead.
- Never Found the Body: It's generally assumed that he died, but only his glasses were found in the wreckage.
- Only Known By His Nickname: Only his parents, Windbear and Oceanbird, call him by his birthname, "Susan". Everyone else, including his younger sister Olga, refer to him as "Mandark".
- Save the Villain: Subverted. Since his attempts to invoke a Taking You with Me made it impossible to save him.
- Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Demands that Dexter kill him after having lost the fight.
- Villainous Breakdown:
- Has one after Dee Dee's death — which was technically his fault, only he didn't want to believe it — from which he never really recovered.
- Has a much more intense one during the final battle with Dexter.
Zim
Zim
Everyone's favorite Irken invader is seen here fulfilling the role of Dr. X's housemaid, while his robot companion GIR is off with Bell. Dr. X has promised him the chance to take a shot at the Powerpuff Girls himself. Whether he was just humoring Zim or truly meant it remains to be seen.
- Big Bad Wannabe: If only he had the brains for it. Perhaps to get the point across, Bleedman introduces him by having him sitting on a throne and giving a Motive Rant about how the Council is going to rule the world... then Dr. X shows up and tells him to get out of his chair.
- Butt-Monkey: Dr. X just loves to humiliate him.
- Demoted to Extra: He's seen a lot less often than his sidekick GIR.
- Dragged into Drag: Made to wear a maid outfit by Dr. X.
- No Indoor Voice: He's Zim, what did you expect?
- You, Get Me Coffee: After you're done mopping the Supervillain Lair that is.
GIR
GIR
Zim's robotic assistant. Silly and nonsensical as always, Bell has taken a liking to him to the point of unofficially adopting him as her pet, and the two can usually be seen together in any strip in which Bell makes an appearance.
- Character Exaggeration: The things he says in the comic are even more random than what he says in his show, mostly acting as random Shout-Outs.
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Gratuitous German: GIR is guilty of this. English translation is Ah! My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
- Let's Get Dangerous!: He can, if there's some threat.
- Omniglot: He has recently shown to be fluent in many languages, as shown in these pages here.
- Pass the Popcorn: During the Bell vs Blossom fight.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: He's in his dog disguise the majority of the time.
- Team Pet: To the Darkstar Council and Bell in particular, as she seems to be the only one who actually likes him.
Samantha
Samantha
Click here to see her angel form.
The resident bully from the Medabots series, AKA Kikuhime being her original Japanese name. She first debuted during Dexter's battle with Mandark. She was another member among the Darkside Council and served as an enforcer under Dr. X.
- Adaptational Villainy: Granted she was initially antagonistic in the Medabots TV series but otherwise a fairly minor if the harmless threat that eventually became friends with Ikki. Here, she's just out an out psychopathic who's more than willing to get into a fight. Justified due to her Dark and Troubled Past and Dr.X manipulating her.
- Arch-Enemy: Declares she is this to Buttercup after their first meeting.
- Blood Knight: During a fight, Jack observes that she seems happy to be fighting. She does surprisingly try to stick to the Darkstar's plan. But when Buttercup interferes one too many times, she reverts back to this route.
- Combat Pragmatist: During her fight with Jack, she catches his sword, and then uses it to electrocute him.
- Dark Action Girl: Enjoys beating the heroes and targets Buttercup first chance she gets.
- Dark and Troubled Past: While the details are unclear, apparently Dr. Hebereke got his hands on the Kilobots and used them to kill all of her friends. She would've died too if Dr. Alexander Megalos/Dr. X hadn't turn her into a cyborg.
- The Brute: Typically shows up at the head of a bunch of Cluster Mecha-Mooks and Elite Mooks, and her villainy consists mainly of attacking the heroes.
- Face Death with Dignity: In a sense, she seems rather calm when meeting Grim and takes the knowledge that she's dead pretty well.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Used to symbolize her status as an angel alongside Dee Dee.
- Humongous Mecha: The Megabee.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Her death at the hands of Bell, by the very sword she stole from Jack.
- Irony: Stole Jack's sword with the intent of hacking up or impaling someone with it, and ends up being impaled herself, by Bell, of all people.
- Kick the Dog: Not enough to beat Jack, she has to take his sword as well.
- Planned on doing this to Bell by having GIR act as the conduit for the Temporal Bomb. Both instances come back to bite her, hard.
- Power Gives You Wings: Implied. Dee Dee stated that whenever a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. After assisting Jingle the Elf with her internal emotional trauma, Samantha grows her first set of wings. If Dee Dee is any indication, the bigger the wings, the more powerful of an angel you are.
- Robotic Reveal: Was thought to have cybernetics to augment her powers. But during a fight with Buttercup, part of her skin is torn off revealing she's completely a robot. However its shown she wasn't completely changed as after she dies, her soul floats out her body where she meets Grim.
- Super-Senses: Has telescopic vision, as well as x-ray and infrared.
- Symbol Swearing: After she gets sucker-punched by Buttercup.
- Talk to the Fist: When Coop is doing one of his usual speeches, she interrupts him by smashing her arm through the windshield of Megas's cockpit and pulling him through.
- Teeth Flying: Buttercup sends Samantha's tooth flying when she appears. She later in the story tries to return the favor but only succeeds in sucker-punching the Powerpuff cause, well, she a superhero.
Mojo Jojo
Mojo Jojo
The Powerpuff Girls' arch-nemesis; his obsession with destroying the girls caused him to follow them into Megaville after they moved there. After his initial attempt on their lives on the first day of the school failed, Mojo was shanghaied by Bell and brought to Dr. X, where he was offered a place in the Darkstar Council.
- The Bus Came Back: As of Chapter 15, he's returned to the story after he initiated an assault against a radio comm station in Megaville.
- Hijacked by Ganon: He's the first official villain to show up in the comic and the first to take action against the girls. But is quickly waylaid by Bell and offered to join the Darkstar Council.
- Orcus on His Throne: An unusual variant if you've seen the show where he's a lot more direct. Here he actually sends monsters against the girls rather than combat them himself.
- Put on a Bus: His joining of the Council is made to look like a big deal, but he's only been seen twice since then - once in the background, hooked up to a machine of some kind, and then in a flashback of Bell's, where he's arguing with Zim over something.
