* {{Flanderization}}: While he did have his goofy moments in the original series, Mojo Jojo was still one of the girls' most powerful and dangerous villains, nearly taking over the world on more than one occasion. In the reboot, not only does he stop doing his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment hilariously long, repetitive rants]], he suffers extreme BadassDecay and VillainDecay, turning him into little more than a ButtMonkey (no pun intended) and a HarmlessVillain who is merely treated like a nuisance rather than a real threat, and is more willing to do {{Enemy Mine}}s with the girls, whereas in the original show, he only sided with the girls once because a greater evil was plotting to take over the world.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the reboot, he's nowhere near the threatening ArchEnemy of the girls like he was in the original, being treated as just a nuisance and a HarmlessVillain who has a ''lot'' of effeminate traits and does a lot of {{EnemyMine}}s with the girls to deal with the newer, stronger villains.

* CharacterDevelopment: In the 10th-anniversary episode, Mojo lost all hope in ruling the world, and decided to start over. [[spoiler:However, when Mojo got the key to the world, he succeeded in ruling the world, but did for a different cause than everyone thought. Everyone expected him to enslave the people, but as it turns out, he only had good intentions. He ended world hunger, stopped global warming, cured all diseases, ended all wars, and gave free puppies for everyone. He was even able to forgive the Powerpuff Girls for stopping him all this time]].

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He speaks this way all the time, which is to say that the manner in which he vocally expresses himself is extremely roundabout and repetitive, containing long and elaborate sentences which tend to reiterate their own subjects constantly. This is taken to extreme levels in "Mo' Linguish", where he's forced to teach a beginner's English class at Townsville Community College and ends up re-teaching the entire city to speak this way, which brings the entire city to a complete standstill. The creators state that his speech patterns were inspired by English dubs of shows like Speed Racer as well as the DC Super Dictionary.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She's completely absent from the reboot. While the reason for this is unknown, the reason behind Ms. Bellum's [[PutOnABus disappearance]] (The creators of the reboot felt like having a MsFanservice felt wrong about their message) could be responsible for this.
