History Characters / MoreThanHumanMainCharacters

** Brick excels at all school subjects, dance, art, memorization, strategy, aircraft design, leadership, [[MrFanservice good looks]], photography, manipulation, [[OddLastItemIndex cooking burgers]]... Actually, it would be easier to list the number of things he DOESN'T excel at: [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Being in control of his own feelings]], [[ItsAllAboutMe being heroic and charitable]] and [[PerpetualSmiler smiling]].

* EvilIsPetty: Sits out his AP exams just because he and Blossom share class and he wasn't on speaking terms with her at the time.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He accuses Butch of dealing with criticism poorly. [[HypocriteHasAPoint While he's correct]], he's also prone to flying off the handle when someone scrutinizes him.

** Despite hating Mike's guts, he still helps save him from the succubi.
* PragmaticHero: Unlike his brothers, he acts like a pretty standard hero, minus the altruism.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As much as he loves to comment on the female body, he never goes past staring, (except when he strips Buttercup's shirt off to provoke her into fighting him), and helps her beat up a bunch of punks who groped her. He also never forces himself on anyone, and [[spoiler: constantly asks for Buttercup's consent before touching her breasts.]]

Main Characters of the fanfiction "FanFic/MoreThanHuman". For the original cartoon, see [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/ThePowerpuffGirls?from=Characters.PowerpuffGirls here]]

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In Brick's opinion at least.

* BloodKnight: This factor is what eventually allows him to bond with Buttercup.

** Brick excels at all school subjects, dance, art, memorization, strategy, aircraft design, leadership, [[MrFanservice good looks]], photography, manipulation, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers cooking burgers]]... Actually, it would be easier to list the number of things he DOESN'T excel at: [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Being in control of his own feelings]], [[ItsAllAboutMe being heroic and charitable]] and [[PerpetualSmiler smiling]].

** Butch is a {{Downplayed}} version. While combat-wise he's on par with Buttercup, and he excels at [[{{Determinator}} determination]], it becomes clear as early as episode 2 that he doesn't stand a chance against Brick, who wipes the floor with him after his BerserkButton gets pushed.

* AntiVillain: Their EvilVSEvil dynamic with [[EvilInc JS.Inc]], as well as their AntiHero tendencies while in Townsville, makes them far less villanous than their portrayal in the original show, especially when compared to its other main villains, whose characterization remains mostly the same.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He initially believes redheads to not be his type (due to his rough history with Blossom), but he eventually falls for her, as much as he tries to deny it.

** And yet again when Brick rejects her in Episode 9. She

** [[spoiler:In chapter 10, he deals with his guilt in rejecting Blossom by ordering Boomer to break up with Bubbles.[[TheDogBitesBack Boomer responds by telling Bubbles about his secret job]].]]
** As of chapter 8, [[spoiler: anytime he's dismissive of Blossom comes across as this, considering she's [[TookALevelInKindness taken a level in kindness]] and hasn't done anything to warrant it. Luckily, these moments pop up less and less as the story moves forward.]]

--> As of chapter 3, him and Buttercup start becoming this, with the "Best Buds" part increasing overtime as their messy fights turn into friendly sparring.
--> He's also this with Mitch and his gang, although there's more "Vitriolic" than "Best Buds" here due to his jealousy for the former. As of chapter 11, it seems like he prefers spending time alone with Buttercup than hanging with them.

* DirtyCoward: His brothers and The Girls see him as this for putting Bubbles in danger in a failed attempt at defeating Him's fog. He maintains that it was a NecessarillyEvil but he internally believes it as well.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Language", or some variation thereof. Especially prevalent with [[SirSwearsALot Buttercup, Butch and Brick]].

-->'''Brick''': “What did I tell you when we got here, Butch?”
-->'''Butch''': “About the drugs, man, I’m sorry—”
-->'''Brick''': “I don’t give a FUCK about your pills! It’s your actual addiction I’m talking about!
-->'''Boomer''': (enters the room) “Here’s your Vicodin, man—”
-->'''Brick''': “Flush it. Flush everything.”
-->'''Butch''': “Wait, dude, chill out, no need to get all upset, you know I’m not addicted to that stuff—”
-->'''Brick''': “I said I wasn’t talking about your fucking drugs! I’m talking about your fucking INABILITY TO LISTEN! To obey orders! Your insistence on FIGHTING when I specifically tell you NOT TO! That’s the fucking addiction I’m talking about!”
* TallDarkAndHandsome: The reason he's so popular amongst the students, as [[{{Jerkass}} his personality]] leaves much to be desired.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a rousing one to [[BloodKnight Butch]] after he disobeys him yet again.

* DirtyCoward: His brothers and The Girls see him as this for putting Bubbles in danger in a failed attempt at defeating Him's fog. He maintains that it was a NecessaryEvil but he internally believes it as well.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While it's normal for her to engage in TranquilFury when reprimanding someone, when she starts SuddenlyShouting, you ''know'' shit's hit the fan. [[note:]] language! [[/note]]. It happens in chapter 2 while in a heated argument with Brick.

%%* HeroesWantRedheads: As much as Brick tries to deny it.

* HasTwoDaddies: Mojo Jojo was their original creator, while Him was the one who reincarnated them after their first death in the original show. Boomer has no problem referring to the pair as his "dads", but the same can't be said for [[YoureNotMyFather Brick]].

* [[HeroesWantRedheads Anti-Heroes Want Redheads]]: As much as Brick tries to deny it.

* [[DumbBlonde Dumb Blond]]: Much like Bubbles, he is very perceptive but is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

* KickTheDog: In chapter 7A, she deals with her breakup with Mitch by forcing her sisters to see a particularly brutal scary movie just to get off [[GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies on their reactions]].

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Which Buttercup exploits in chapter 7A when dealing with her breakup with Mitch.

* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Watched a marathon of [=RomComs=] to prep for his date with Bubbles, since he's too socially clueless to know any better.
* TeenIdol: His singing talent coupled with his good looks make him popular with many of the girls at the school.
* TokenGoodTeammate: {{Downplayed}} as he is by no means a good person, but he's the only one of the Boys who never gets confrontational with The Girls. Most of his underhanded actions also come from a place of misguided love and loyalty rather than actual malice, and his affection for Bubbles and his brothers ''is'' genuine.
* TookALevelInJerkass: After learning of Bubbles' many ex-boyfriends, he becomes far more overtly confrontational around other Boys, due to his {{Yandere}} instincts kicking in.
* TookALevelInKindness: Goes from merely seeing Bubbles as a simple catch for his superficial high school to-do list to genuinely loving her and striving for her happiness.
* TroubledButCute: He acts ditzy and goofy around other people, so it's impossible to hate him. However, boy does this kid have some issues.

* AssholeVictim: Of the non-lethal variety. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown What Buttercup, and later Brick, did to him]] was brutal, but it's hard to feel too bad for him considering what a perverted jackass he was. He gets better after this.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:

** Compared to the more distant and insensitive Will, Boomer comes across as the better potential boyfriend for the audience, being genuinely affectionate, sensitive, funny, and (violently) protective, but as his [[LackOfEmpathy darker side]] starts shining through, he loses a lot of his charm. Despite this, Bubbles still considers him to be the better choice and loves him very much, although she's clearly having her doubts.

* AccompliceByInaction: She falls into this after learning of Boomer's job at JS.inc, as her love for him ends up overcoming her sense of responsibility. In chapter 12, the guilt starts catching up to her after meeting his co-worker [[AmbiguouslyEvil Penny]] and realizing she'd been blocking that thought from memory all along.

* AlwaysSecondBest: He does not command attention like Brick which always makes him feel like second best.

* TooCleverByHalf: He got through one of Him's toughest riddles to win his and his brothers' freedom, but he fails the one in chapter 7 with the FogOfDoom that fed on turmoil, which almost caused Bubbles' death when he tried to use her to drive it away, thinking that she was [[IncorruptiblePurePureness too pure and naïve to have any inner conflict]]. He didn't account for her feelings for Boomer, [[AllGirlsLikeBadBoys which had been the main source of conflict for her]] in the last several chapters.

* LackOfEmpathy: While generally perceptive (especially Brick), they have a pretty big problem understanding other people's feelings.

* ProfessionalKiller: Their job at [[EvilInc JS. Inc]]. They're sometimes asked to [[UnusualEuphemism "take care"]] of people.
* ReformedBully: While they're still evil, they're no longer pointlessly cruel and nasty towards everyone (except [[AxCrazy Butch]], but even then it's much less pronounced than in the source material).

* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to [[EnfantTerrible their portrayal]] in the original show, these versions of the boys are shown to have matured into more AffablyEvil teenagers.
** Their redemption is one of the main focus points of the work; especially when it comes to their [[MoralityPet Morality Pets]] the Powerpuff Girls.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: ZigZagged. Though unintentionally, their bond with the girls have definetly left a less than stellar impact on their moral compasses, which makes sense considering The Boys' [[BlackAndGreyMorality own morality]]. [[PositiveFriendInfluence The positive impact]] The Girls have on them is far greater, though.

** Butch enables Buttercup's BloodKnight and HairTriggerTemper tendencies and encourages her to PayEvilUntoEvil regarding the Citisville gang incident.

* AloofAlly: He couldn't care less about Brick's coup at JS. inc, and casually tells Buttercup about it in episode 6 just to see her reaction.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: When he gets accidentally disemboweled by Brick while trapped in a vortex. Even Buttercup cries at the thought of him dying. It helps that he's mellowed out a lot by then.]]

* GirlsHaveCooties: They've mostly outgrown this and are now more quick to chat or go on dates with them, but all three of them have insensitively left their first girlfriends for either being too clingy or just not up to their standards (or because they're in denial about their feelings for someone else). On Chapter 1, Brick mocks the Powerpuffs by channelling his 5-year-old self and calling them "whiny little girls".

* TooCleverByHalf: He got through one of Him's toughest riddles to win his and his brothers' freedom, but he fails the one in chapter 7 with the FogOfDoom that fed on turmoil, which almost caused Bubbles' death when he tried to use her to drive it away, thinking that she was [[IncorruptiblePurePureness too pure and naïve to have any inner conflict]]. He didn't account for her feelings for Boomer, [[AllGirlsLikeBadBoys which had been the main source of conflict for her]] in the last several chapters.

* TheBully: The only one of the boys to not have outgrown this phase. He spends most of chapters 1 and 2 harassing Buttercup to provoke her into a fight. Even when he mellows out, he's still not above threatening or taunting his peers for fun.

* DragonInChief: This is what he aspires to be regarding the situation with JS. INC, especially now that [[GreaterScopeVillain Darius]] is in charge. However, Darius isn't stupid, and knows how to use his power to keep Brick at bay, making Brick little more than a HypercompetentSidekick until he can fully take down the place.

* CameBackStrong: After their training at JS. INC, they're as tough as ever (which is saying something).
* CharacterDevelopment: Shown explicitly with how they deal with The Girls' missions. In episode 1, they all sit and watch while The Girls defeat a giant monster, and show a PassThePopcorn attitude towards their plight. When another monster attacks on chapter 3, they assist but for selfish reasons; Butch is bored and wants to test his new powers, Boomer wants to get on Bubbles' good side, and Brick is upset with the monster for destroying his CoolCar. In chapter 5, they all help save the school from the gunmen with little to no prompting, though [[CasualDangerDialogue they're rather casual about it]]. In chapter 6, they all take down the JS fighter together (although Brick has an ulterior motive as he has a personal investment in the craft). In chapter 7, 9, 10 and 10A, they all assist The Girls in foiling Mojo, HIM and Sedusa's evil plans without any prompting whatsoever. By episode 11A, they've officially become the Girls' temporary replacement. They sure have come a long way from being a simple VillainOfTheWeek in the original show.

* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: {{Subverted}}. Bubbles is an ex-cheerleader, but he couldn't give less of a shit.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While the AxCrazy, violence-loving aspect of his character is preserved, Butch in the original cartoon was a {{Keet}} with no brains or sense of self-preservation. The hyperactive aspect of his character was adapted unto Boomer, while Butch here is more aloof and laid-back, which is implied to be due to his addiction to marijuana. Boomer's abuse at the hands of Brick is also adapted unto Butch, as is his inferiority complex.

* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler: Although they break out of this relatively early,]] he fights a lot with Buttercup and a casual observer [[spoiler: would think they hated each other.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: The original show's TwentyMinutesInTheFuture clip featured them as shallow stereotypical girls during their teenage phase, who would rather hang out with the boys than solve crime. Here, they're every bit as heroic as they were in their childhood years, only not being as active due to the Professor having developed a monster barrier and most of the villains having retired.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and easily the kindest character in the series.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original show's TwentyMinutesInTheFuture clip, they're portrayed as aloof bad boys ([[AllGirlsWantBadBoys which is the reason The Girls get interested in them in the first place]]) Here, while they're still [[ProfessionalKiller bad]], they're more like [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]].

* KickTheDog: Provoking Buttercup into a fight to test her resilience by repeatedly humiliating her when she was at her worst after a rough break-up is the biggest dick move he's ever pulled. Him casually saying he [[ItAmusedMe "just felt like it"]], when confronted about it doesn't help matters in the slightest.
