| 16 | |
| 17 | A one-shot villain who appeared in the musical episode "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey". One of the few antagonists in the series that has died. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * AlasPoorVillain: As he falls to his death, he realizes too late how totally in the wrong he was, and [[FaceDeathWithDignity readily accepts his fate]]. |
| 20 | * BeardOfEvil: His long pointy beard looks like a computer mouse arrow. |
| 21 | * BigBad: In "See Mee, Feel Me, Gnomey". |
| 22 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, he seems like a pretty nice guy wanting to help the girls live in a better place, but he's just using them for his selfish desire to rule the city. |
| 23 | %%* CharacterDeath: See KilledOffForReal below. |
| 24 | * TheChessmaster: He manipulated the girls into wanting him to make Townsville crime-free. |
| 25 | * ControlFreak: Forces the people of Townsville to follow his orders and become mindless drones. |
| 26 | * DealWithTheDevil: He offers the girls a Townsville without villains in exchange for their powers. |
| 27 | * DrivenToSuicide: Implied. His final words say that he died because he was willing to. |
| 28 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When he made his deal with the girls he not only kept his word, he took out the villains ''before'' taking their powers. |
| 29 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He appears offering to help by eliminating all of the villains in Townsville, but it turns out that he planned to take over Townsville himself. |
| 30 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He says the mystic elders gave him permission to use his powers. When conjuring them up, he is seen with the elders as they all sing "Hear Me Fathers". |
| 31 | * {{Greed}}: He is quite avaricious more concerned about his own gain. |
| 32 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Claims to be there to make Townsville a better place, but actually intended to conquer the place like any other villain. |
| 33 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's not a nice person at all, as he's willing to murder villains and treat the citizens of Townsville like his personal slaves to suit his own agenda. |
| 34 | * KilledOffForReal: Ultimately he is killed by falling to his death, but actually, his dialogue beforehand indicates that this is only because he willed it so himself, making it a suicide. |
| 35 | -->'''Gnome''': Therefore, I conclude that I ''cannot exist'' in my...Utopian...mind! |
| 36 | * KnightOfCerebus: Unlike all the other characters, he is the only one who mercilessly killed all the villains of the series and was successful to manipulate the girls, something no other villain has. |
| 37 | * KnightTemplar: He kills off all the villains, but turns Townsville into his own little utopia. |
| 38 | * LightIsNotGood: He's a magical elf who wears a sparkling red cloak and sings a magic rock melody, and wields the power of a "sacred light" but he's also a ManipulativeBastard who uses his skill to get what he wants. |
| 39 | * ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates the girls for his own gain, making a DealWithTheDevil with them. |
| 40 | * {{Narcissist}}: He only cares about himself and nobody else. |
| 41 | * NearVillainVictory: He succeeds in turning the world into his utopia, but is defeated by the girls, and upon realizing that in making his utopia, [[HeelRealization he has become the very evil he sought to eliminate]], accepts his death, upon which [[NoOntologicalInertia all of his actions are undone.]] |
| 42 | * PerpetualSmiler: The Gnome is usually shown with a PsychoticSmirk on his face. |
| 43 | * PsychoticSmirk: Has this for most of the episode. |
| 44 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Eliminating all the villains made him the new ruler of Townsville. |
| 45 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's one of the very few villains to be taken completely seriously, as he basically commits mass murder by getting rid of all the other villains. |

| 51 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett |
| 52 | [[OneShotCharacter A one-shot villain in the show]], appearing only in the Season 4 episode "Knock it Off", Professor Dick Hardly used to be Professor Utonium's college roommate. He discovers the formula for creating the Powerpuff Girls and abuses it to mass-produce ShoddyKnockoffProduct versions of them on an assembly line. Despite being only a one-shot villain, he manages to be one of the most evil and memorable characters on the show. |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | * AbusiveParent: He treats his creations more like products rather than being a loving father. |
| 55 | * AllAbusersAreMale: |
| 56 | ** He modeled his own Powerpuff Girls Xtreme creations after the real Powerpuff Girls, yet he truly doesn't care about them at all. |
| 57 | ** He's also trying to extract the Chemical X formula from the actual Powerpuff Girls themselves, to which he has little-to-no concern if that costs all of the trio's lives. |
| 58 | ** On a side note, his interest in having intimacy with ladies in his age is rather questionable, as well. |
| 59 | * AllMenArePerverts: Has always been this since his college days, evidently viewing women within his age as objects to lust over. |
| 60 | * BadBoss: Presumably, as he is seen constantly yelling at his workers to work faster and doesn't appear to care about them looking overworked. To say nothing of his treatment towards the Powerpuff Girls Xtreme... |
| 61 | * BeautyIsBad: He admittedly has the looks, but he '''still''' doesn't have a heart. |
| 62 | * BeyondRedemption: Quite possibly '''the most''' exemplifiable character for this trope in the original series. Heck, even '''''HIM''''' (who is literally a demonic entity) has ''much more'' redeeming qualities (morally speaking) than Dick himself does. |
| 63 | * BigBadFriend: To the Girls and Professor Utonium. Though Utonium doesn't realize how horrible he really is until the end, although at the beginning of the episode when Hardly express his opinions to exploit the Girls for profit to him when Dick visits, it does seems Utonium starts to realized his true greedy and amoral nature all along that he failed to notice back in college. |
| 64 | * BigBadSlippage: As his profit grows, so does his greed and mental instability. Near the end of the episode, he shows some slight psychopathic behavior and BY the end, he goes [[UnstoppableRage full rage mode]] trying to obtain more Chemical X, attempting to kill the Girls and enslave his former roommate to do so. |
| 65 | * BigNo: [[spoiler:He does this as his creations kill him.]] |
| 66 | * BigYes: Shouts this as he obtains the Chemical X needed to create his "girls". |
| 67 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretends to be a friend to Professor Utonium when in reality, Dick is really a heartless bastard who's only interested in using him for money. |
| 68 | * BrokenPedestal: At the beginning of the episode where he debuts, when Dick expresses his ideals to exploit the Girls for profit, Utonium, who just expressed to the Girls [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter how much of a great friend he was back in college]] (when in the flashbacks that depicted him to be anything but), finally happened to realize Dick's all along amoral nature and kicks him out. |
| 69 | * CharacterDeath: One of the only characters in the show to explicitly die for good. |
| 70 | * CollapsingLair: [[spoiler: How he's eventually killed.]] |
| 71 | * CombatTentacles: Post-transformation, he has six tentacles growing out from the front of his torso. |
| 72 | * ConsummateLiar: Pulls this off with the girls by claiming he's trying to help the world reduce crime when he just wants to profit off of their success. |
| 73 | * ControlFreak: And how. He overworks his employees only caring about getting results, and even having a perfect Buttercup copy melted for her excessive Chemical X so that his knock-offs are as cheap as possible. |
| 74 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He runs a factory to create knock-offs of the Powerpuff Girls out of sociopathic greed. |
| 75 | * DarkIsEvil: In his giant monster form, where his shades and briefs are both in black. |
| 76 | * DeathCryEcho: When his factory comes crashing down on him. |
| 77 | * DevilInPlainSight: At least before his literally monstrous transformation. |
| 78 | * ADickInName: He's a horrendously self-centered and callous individual and his first name happens to be Dick. A RunningGag is that everyone sounds like they're literally calling him a dick, with Blossom at one point even puts a noticeable emphasis on his first name when the Powerpuff Girls find out about his true nature. |
| 79 | * DirtyCoward: Once the Powerpuff Girls are going against him for the Chemical X. |
| 80 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In flashbacks, his lecherous, greedy and mooching off tendencies were made all too apparent. |
| 81 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: While Utonium loves his three creations, Dick saw the Powerpuff Girls Xtreme as money-making objects. As conversed by Utonium himself: "Old Dick may have gotten the formula right, but the ''one'' ingredient he forgot was ''love''." |
| 82 | * EvilCounterpart: To Professor Utonium, in that he's a man of science (though with slightly less "science"), but has none of the compassion and legitimate love the Professor has for the girls. |
| 83 | * EvilGenius: '''Inverted'''. He appears to be one as he was a "professor of science", but flashbacks show that he was not even interested in science or intellectual things, rather he was a ''very'' ignorant man. Made even more apparent when he looks through the professor's mail and calls him a geek (albeit not in front of his face). |
| 84 | * EvilIsBigger: He became a very gigantic monster after he swallowed a bottle of Chemical X. |
| 85 | * EvilLaugh: Does it after he achieved Chemical X to create his own Powerpuff Girls. |
| 86 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Once he turns into a giant monster, his voice becomes very deep and menacing. |
| 87 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He manages to swallow an entire bottle of Chemical X -- as in the bottle itself, not just its contents. He's lucky that turning into a giant monster was the ''only'' thing to happen to him after that. |
| 88 | * FatalFlaw: His '''LackOfEmpathy'''. [[spoiler:The Powerpuff-Girl knock-offs later realized that he '''''never''''' really cared for his own creations, which would then lead to his downfall [[HeroicSacrifice once they attacked him]].]] |
| 89 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He'll keep a cheerful, eccentric demeanor while he's either selling one of his products or insulting you to your face. |
| 90 | * FirstNameBasis: Everyone calls him by his first name, instead of his surname like Professor Utonium. |
| 91 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Emphasis on ''zero soul''. He's an absolutely heartless and cruel villain who happens to wear glasses. |
| 92 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He was originally just a sleazy jerk who took advantage of Professor Utonium, but by the end of the episode, he's a total monster, both literally and figuratively. |
| 93 | * {{Greed}}: All he wants is money, and will use whatever amoral means he can think of to get it. |
| 94 | * GreenAndMean: After he swallowed the Chemical X he asked from the Powerpuff Girls, he became a giant green monster. |
| 95 | * HateSink: Nothing about what's BeneathTheMask is remotely sympathetic or PlayedForLaughs. It's telling something that while [[BigBad Mojo Jojo]], [[HairTriggerTemper Fuzzy Lumpkins]], [[SpoiledBrat Princess Morbucks]] and even '''[[SatanicArchetype HIM]]''' had their fair share of likeable moments, redeeming qualities and/or moral restraint, this man is absolutely despicable and unsympathetic and one of the few villains to be seemingly KilledOffForReal. |
| 96 | * HeroKiller: He essentially kills the Powerpuff Girls by draining the Chemical X from their bodies. |
| 97 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: When the replicas saw the Professor's love for the real girls, [[spoiler:they asked Dick why he didn't love ''them'' the same way. He told them to back off. Simply put, it didn't end well for Dick.]] |
| 98 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: A mere human manages to be the most evil character on the show. He wasn't born to be a monster like [[MadeOfEvil HIM]] nor is a TragicVillain like Mojo Jojo and other one-shot villains. However, what he lacks superpowers he makes up for in cruelty and malice. |
| 99 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He (indirectly) calls Utonium a geek for his interest in science, yet he himself would later infilitrate an abandoned factory to use for his Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business. |
| 100 | * {{Irony}}: Given his actions throughout his appearance, he's ''definitely'' '''A LOT''' more demonic than HIM is. |
| 101 | * ItIsDehumanizing: When he sees the girls, he outright calls them "things" in front of Professor Utonium while talking about making money off of them...which is what leads Utonium to finally realize what a {{jerkass}} he is. |
| 102 | * ItsAllAboutMe: All he cares about is making tons of money, showing no empathy for who gets hurt. Instead, he enjoys hurting them. |
| 103 | * {{Jerkass}}: By far the biggest jerk in the entire series, and by the end of his only episode, that’s just putting it lightly. Even before he came up with his con and showcased his true colors, he only put on the nice facade when in front of the Professor or promoting his "Powerpuff Girls Xtreme" on television. |
| 104 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He makes "Powerpuff Girls Xtreme" to market as elite crime fighting, when all he cares about is profiting off of them. He even deliberately makes them unstable just so he can sell more and make more money. |
| 105 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:His creations eventually get tired of his abuse and sacrifice themselves to destroy him.]] |
| 106 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:His creations ripping him apart, being razed by fire, AND getting crushed by the collapsing lair. Will do.]] |
| 107 | * KnightOfCerebus: An interesting case where he's initially harmless, but gradually becomes a much darker character. |
| 108 | * LackOfEmpathy: The first thing he does when he sees the Powerpuff Girls, he starts talking to Professor Utonium about making money out of creating more of them. (Note also that he's talking about his own former roommate's ''children''.) |
| 109 | * LightIsNotGood: Before his monstrous transformation, his standard outfit consists of him having a visibly big white collared shirt, but he's ''far'' from being one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. |
| 110 | * LiteralMetaphor: His malevolent presence in his only appearance is heavily increased after he ''literally became'' '''''a monster''''' after swallowing the bottle of Chemical X he asked from the real Powerpuff Girls. |
| 111 | * MagicPants: After his OneWingedAngel transformation, the pelvic area of his pants mercifully remain intact. |
| 112 | * ManipulativeBastard: Tricks Professor Utonium and the girls into giving him Chemical X so that he can make his own knockoffs of the girls. Naturally, the Powerpuffs catch on to the deception once they see one of his commercials on TV. |
| 113 | * MeaningfulName: He's a complete {{Jerkass}} who happens to be named [[ADickInName Dick]]. His last name might be reference to how he ''hardly'' puts in any effort, either mooching off Utonium or cutting corners with the Powerpuff Extremes. |
| 114 | * MillionairePlayboy: His main characterization. He's just interested in money and women. |
| 115 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: His creations realize that he doesn't love them and turn on him, ultimately killing him by bringing his own factory down on his head. |
| 116 | * MoneyFetish: This, along with his greed, is a motivation for his heinous crimes. |
| 117 | * MoreHateableMinorVillain: A OneShotCharacter who somehow manages to stick out as one of the most detestable characters in the series, with no comedic moments or redeeming qualities to balance it out. |
| 118 | * NonActionBigBad: At first. Subverted when he became a giant monster after accidentally swallowing Chemical X. |
| 119 | * OneWingedAngel: After accidentally ''swallowing'' a whole vial of Chemical X when he refused to give it back to the girls. |
| 120 | -->'''Dick:''' "Whew! You know, for a second there, I thought I was going to turn into a monster or something!" |
| 121 | * PainfulTransformation: After swallowing a bottle of Chemical X, Dick starts convulsing in agony -- ironically [[TemptingFate right after claiming he's "never felt better in [his] life"]] -- as he transforms into a monster. |
| 122 | * PerpetualSmiler: He deliberately has a happy-go-lucky smile in order to manipulate anyone for his own selfish deeds. |
| 123 | * PsychopathicManchild: In addition to being greedy, self-centered, and having no remorse for hurting people to get what he wants, the scene where he puts Chemical X in his mouth is reminiscent of children with mouthfuls of food they aren't supposed to eat. |
| 124 | * PsychoticSmirk: He has this as his default expression all the time as a human, fitting with his extremely greedy personality. |
| 125 | * PunnyName: His name is a pun on the fact that he is... well, a jerk, which is amplified by his surname suggesting two possible dirty jokes[[note]]A [[RagingStiffie hard dick]] or a dick that is [[TeenyWeenie hardly one at all]][[/note]]. |
| 126 | * {{Sadist}}: Gleefully proves to be one when Utonium offers to be a slave to make more Chemical X to free the girls and Dick just decides to make him a slave and kill the girls anyways. |
| 127 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: Wears purple-tinted glasses as a human and green skin as a monster. |
| 128 | * SevenDeadlySins: For a relatively ordinary human being, he has ''quickly'' encompassed every single one of them on himself during his entire single appearance in the original show. |
| 129 | ** '''Greed''': His desire to obtain fame, fortune, and later power, is what only motivated him to run his own Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business. |
| 130 | ** '''Sloth''': His backstory of being Professor Utonium's old collegemate has him being ''a lot'' less academically productive than his self-proclaimed "buddy". Years later after that, this still applies to him during the run of his Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business (where he's '''''[[{{Pun}} hardly]]''''' shown doing any of the work for his own knock-off creations). |
| 131 | ** '''Pride''': He thinks that others are more worthless than he himself is, even his self-conceptualized Powerpuff-Girl knock-offs (who believed that he never gave them any sort of love despite him being their creator). |
| 132 | ** '''Wrath''': When things don't go his way, he would ''immediately'' blow off his own fuse, which was then intensified when he became a literal monster. He has even {{lampshade}}d his intense anger as a form of threat to Professor Utonium: |
| 133 | ---> '''Dick:''' "Stand aside, Utonium, '''or be crushed''' by my wrath." |
| 134 | ** '''Gluttony''': Once his Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business became successful since its inception, his hunger for the rewards from it grew more uncontrolled than ever. |
| 135 | ** '''Envy''': It's evident that he's pretty jealous of Professor Utonium for having artificially created power-induced girls who often fight crime and save the day, especially since he himself sees the Powerpuff Girls themselves as being cash cows rather than actual children. |
| 136 | ** '''Lust''': It's shown that Dick has a couple of "moments" with female beings during his college years with the Professor. Much later, in one of the scenes of the former's only appearance, which happened during the successful run of his Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business, he's not only shown owning a ton of money from it, but is also holding two ''[[MsFanservice bikinied]]'' ladies on both of his sides, so judging by that, it's pretty safe to assume that those aforementioned "moments" of his are still in him. |
| 137 | * ShadowArchetype: To Professor Utonium. While the Professor loves and treasures his three creations, Dick regards the Powerpuff Girls Xtreme as expendable and only good for making money, even ordering his workers to [[KickTheDog melt down one of the clones for its Chemical X]] when he sees that she turned out to be a perfect copy of Buttercup. |
| 138 | * SinisterShades: His ordinary glasses somehow become a pair of black TriangleShades in his OneWingedAngel form. |
| 139 | * SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: At first, he wasn't much of a threat, just a selfish jerk. However, his obsession with money and Chemical X, indeed, turned him into a really repulsive man. |
| 140 | * TheSociopath: He certainly is. He puts on a very weak facade of [[FauxAffablyEvil superficial charm]] despite being [[{{jerkass}} incredibly unpleasant and petty]], possesses high self-perception, lies for personal gain and gratification, deceives and manipulates for personal gains; He's selfish, self-centered, and [[LackOfEmpathy not empathetic]]. He's also a womanizer, which is quite typical for sociopaths/psychopaths to opt for casual and trivial relationships. Not to mention the utter cruelty he shows towards his clones. His sociopathic personality is undoubtedly enhanced at the end of the episode, where he attempts to murder the Powerpuff Girls ''in front of Professor Utonium'' while promising to enslave him for the rest of his life. |
| 141 | * SpearCounterpart: Can somewhat be seen as this to Femme Fatale: |
| 142 | ** Both possess greedy intentions (Femme Fatale's is simply done by robbery; Dick's is implemented through child exploitation). |
| 143 | ** Both manipulated the Powerpuff Girls for each of their personal goals (Femme Fatale badly influenced the trio into thinking that both heroism and villainy are [[MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial androcentric]], just so that she could continue robbing; Dick deliberately persuaded the girls into giving him some Chemical X just for his questionable business). |
| 144 | ** Both have their levels of prejudice aganst their opposite gender (Femme Fatale is an [[DoesNotLikeMen openly misandristic]] and [[StrawFeminist self-idealized feminist]], albeit a rather [[StrawHypocrite hypocritical one]]; Dick has [[AllAbusersAreMale very limited regard for women]] in general, from being [[AllMenArePerverts suggestively interested]] in them to [[WouldHurtAChild using their younger versions]] simply for his own financial gain). |
| 145 | * StevenUlyssesPerhero: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. His first name and surname taken together form a raunchy pun suggesting sexual character aspects which he doesn't actually posses (although ironically, he himself is "turned on" by ladies whom he personally perceives as being desirable). |
| 146 | * TakeAThirdOption: After his OneWingedAngel, he traps the girls and plans to suck all the Chemical X out of them. Professor Utonium offers to work for him and make more Chemical X for the rest of his life if he lets them go, but Dick instead decides that he would rather kill the girls and keep the professor as his slave. |
| 147 | * TeenyWeenie: His name is also a reference to this. However, it is unknown if he actually has one, as this being a children's show means that the PunnyName is all there is to suggest that his genitals are of an unimpressive size… though it would certainly go a long way to explain his [[CompensatingForSomething obsessive desire for wealth and power]]. |
| 148 | * VillainHasAPoint: He isn't exactly wrong when he claims that there's a lot of evil and corruption beyond Townsville, and that more Powerpuff Girls could indeed make the world a much safer place. Unfortunately, he isn't exactly interested in solving these problems; rather, he only intends to profit off them, deliberately making inferior clones of the Girls that break down after a few hours to make sure that both the average citizens and the world governments will keep buying them. |
| 149 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Despite only appearing in one episode, he is easily the most vile and malicious character in the whole series. Even eclipsing HIM, the series' equivalent of {{Satan}}. |
| 150 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Thanks to the "Powerpuff Girls Xtreme", his notoriety gives him the facade of a hero who wishes to fight against global crime. But in reality, he's just a purely selfish man whose treatment towards his own creations is absolutely despicable. |
| 151 | * VillainousBreakdown: He goes down lashing out at his inability to handle his defeat. |
| 152 | * WouldHurtAChild: If slowly killing the girls by draining their Chemical X wasn't evident enough. Even before that, he has limited regard to his own creations when they're chemically unstable (simply for his {{greed}}y nature), so he's technically committing ''reckless endangerment'' when considering this matter. |
| 153 | * YouFool: During the climax of "Knock It Off", even though Professor Utonium reluctantly accepted his job in Dick's Powerpuff Girls Xtreme business just to keep the actual Powerpuff Girls alive, Dick, ''[[ADickInName being Dick]]'', instantly turned down the Professor's offer by not actually letting the girls go, accompanied with a "You fool!" statement said by Dick himself. |
| 154 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Dick has one of the Girlz X-treme killed for being too perfect as he wants to keep customers buying with unstable "products." |

| 159 | -->'''Voiced by''': Creator/GreyDeLisle |
| 160 | |
| 161 | The third notable villainess in the series, next to Princess Morbucks and Sedusa, despite being a minor villain. She only appears in the episode "Equal Fights" as a cowardly man-bashing StrawFeminist who only stole coins with Susan B. Anthony's portrait on them. |
| 162 | ---- |
| 163 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The three women who criticize the Powerpuff Girls for buying her excuse of being a proponent of women's rights are a bank manageress whose bank she robbed, a policewoman whose arm she broke, and a teenage girl whose hairstyle she copied. |
| 164 | * BadassNormal: Doesn't have any special powers, but she can still kick people's butts. |
| 165 | * BerserkButton: Don't give her any normal U.S. dollar bill. Give her Susan B. Anthony coins or else. |
| 166 | * BeautyIsBad: She does have some eye-catching looks for a woman like her, especially when she was unmasked at the end of "Equal Fights", but her insides are '''''much uglier''''' than that. |
| 167 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Blonde to Sedusa's Brunette and Princess Morbucks' Redhead. |
| 168 | * TheCorrupter: One of the few villains to successfully convince the Powerpuff Girls to enable her and even agree with her own views, converting them into misandrists like her. Granted this is part due to the girls' naiveté, when women on the right side of the law gently explain to them how feminism ''really'' works, the girls quickly realise Femme Fatale is full of it. |
| 169 | * DarkActionGirl: A one-shot villainess who strives on Girl Power. |
| 170 | * DoesNotLikeMen: She's such a misandrist that she flips out when given currency that bears the likeness of men. |
| 171 | * DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: "You can't do this to me! Horizontal stripes make me look fat!". |
| 172 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Aside from her villainous introduction from "Equal Fights" when she's robbing at a bank from Townsville, while she does succeed in doing her criminal act at first, she stops for a moment to accuse a bank worker for giving her a couple of 100 U.S. dollar bills, as they contain Benjamin Franklin, stating that he is a ''man'' himself, thus establishing her as a '''very''' passionate misandrist (so she strictly asks for Susan B. Anthony coins, which have a shared value of over one U.S. dollar). |
| 173 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She feigns AffablyEvil Behavior, that she is doing these actions on behalf of all women, when in reality she is only doing it to benefit herself, and she is proud of that. |
| 174 | * FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Averted and played with in her own case. She persuaded the Powerpuff Girls to let go of her because both of the concepts of heroism and villainy are predominantly androcentric, and succeeds in doing so at first. |
| 175 | * FemaleMisogynist: Goes hand in hand with StrawHypocrite below; [[spoiler:it's made pretty obvious that Femme Fatale only cares about women when it [[ItsAllAboutMe suits her own needs]] (like getting the girls to let her go). If it doesn't, she turns on them (like the bank teller, the cop and the teenager)]]. |
| 176 | * HateSink: Her whole character is designed around the worst parts of a StrawFeminist, so it's hardly surprising that she's a perpetually irate criminal with an overly negative opinion of males who brings up inequality towards women solely to manipulate the Powerpuff Girls into letting her go. |
| 177 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: She uses feminism to get what she wants and get away with it too, for the sake of equal rights. She forgets that equal rights works in both crime ''and'' justice when she gets a lecture from the girls about that very subject. |
| 178 | * IcyBlueEyes: She's a HateSink and a StrawFeminist, and the last scene of her episode reveals she has blue eyes. |
| 179 | * InstitutionalApparel: Ends up in a striped prison uniform, complaining about how horizontal stripes make her look fat. |
| 180 | * IronicName: Her name is ''Femme Fatale''. However, she has '''absolutely zero''' interest in tempting any men due to her strong [[DoesNotLikeMen misandry]]. |
| 181 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's very rude towards men and basically anyone that gets in her way. |
| 182 | * KnightTemplar: Sort of, but instead of being sincere-but-extremist about her beliefs, she mostly uses her beliefs as an excuse to get away with crime. |
| 183 | * LackOfEmpathy: On the surface, she seems to be a lady who's fighting [[StrawFeminist for female rights only]], but in reality, even if she's a self-idealized feminist herself, she '''doesn't really care''' about anyone of any gender, even for other female beings like her. |
| 184 | * LightIsNotGood: Her standard outfit is predominantly white (with some light blue accents on it), yet her overall character is '''a lot''' darker than that. |
| 185 | * ManipulativeBitch: Manipulated the girls into thinking that equal rights means special treatment for women and to be sexist against men. |
| 186 | * MeaningfulName: Her name does relate to her role as a feminist--it also doubles as BilingualBonus, because "Femme Fatale" literally means "fatal woman" in French. |
| 187 | * MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial: She lampshaded this by stating to the Powerpuff Girls that both heroism and ''even'' villainy are predominantly presented by males, [[StrawHypocrite just so that she herself could get away scot-free]] from being put under arrest by them at first. |
| 188 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Being a strong misandristic criminal helps her in intimidating numerous dudes. |
| 189 | * PsychoSerum: In one of her chapter book appearances, she invented a spray to make girls tougher, which eventually resulted in them becoming rampaging monsters, but never designed an antidote as she never thought about making girls ''less'' tough. Ultimately, being shown love and affection returned her victims to normal. |
| 190 | * SigilSpam: Her ChestInsignia, mask, and gun are all shaped as Venus symbols, the mark for women. |
| 191 | * SlutShaming: In a G-rated example, she derisively refers to Sedusa as "that chick in the underwear". |
| 192 | * StrawFeminist: A controversial example of a stereotypical man-hating (or "misandristic") feminist, to the point that she yells at a male bank teller for giving her $100 bills because they depict Creator/BenjaminFranklin (i.e., a man) and demands that he instead fill her bags with Susan B. Anthony coins. Interestingly, she was created and conceptualized by [[Creator/LaurenFaust a real life feminist]]. |
| 193 | * StrawHypocrite: |
| 194 | ** [[spoiler:Women were not spared from her crimes. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking She robbed one bank manageress' establishment, broke a policewoman's arm, and copied a teenage girl's hairstyle]].]] |
| 195 | ** Also, [[spoiler: she steals only Susan B. Anthony coins because she sees Susan B. Anthony, who struggled for the right to vote, as a symbol of women's rights, and she ''is''...but as the Girls point out, Susan B. Anthony was willing to ''risk being imprisoned'' for breaking the law for what she believed in, while Femme Fatale uses her womanhood as a shield to get away with hurting people. Femme Fatale steals Susan B. Anthony coins, but she doesn't even know who she ''was''.]] |
| 196 | * TrueBlueFemininity: {{Zigzagged|trope}}. She might be a self-idealized feminist, but she's also [[StrawFeminist an aggressive one, too]] (especially when considering her [[DoesNotLikeMen man-hating]] nature). |
| 197 | * VillainHasAPoint: |
| 198 | ** While it was just to persuade the girls to free her, Femme Fatale does actually raise good point when she notes how superheroines tend to not get the same kind of recognition as male superheroes and how heroines like ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} (though certainly very popular and heroic in their own rights) are ultimately just extensions of their male counterparts (Franchise/{{Superman}} for Supergirl and Franchise/{{Batman}} for Batgirl). |
| 199 | ** Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup try countering this by bringing up Franchise/WonderWoman, but ultimately prove Femme Fatale's point when they're unable to think of any other heroines with the same kind of fame and recognition. However, it's possible this was meant to be a straw "gotcha" question--while it's true Wonder Woman is arguably the most popular superheroine who's not an extension of an already-existing male superhero, people who have a greater knowledge of comic books and superheroes could probably name several other such heroines off the top of their heads. |

| 204 | -->'''Voiced by''': N/A (Only speaks as Rainbow the Clown, voiced by Creator/TomKenny) |
| 205 | |
| 206 | Appears only in the episode "Mime for a Change." Mr. Mime is what you get when you douse the local smiling birthday entertainer Rainbow the Clown in bleach. |
| 207 | |
| 208 | Has nothing to do with [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} the Pokémon]] of the same name. |
| 209 | ---- |
| 210 | * CartesianKarma: His crimes happen when he's under the influence of the bleach, but since the girls are unaware of that, he gets beaten up right when he's singing a song of thanks, then taken to jail. |
| 211 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: He has the ability to drain color and sound from anything he touches or steps on, and he himself appears purely black and white. |
| 212 | * EnemyMime: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well, duh.]] |
| 213 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts off as a happy clown, but becomes evil when bleached. After he is cured, he returns to being a clown. |
| 214 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Slow, sinister circus style music. |
| 215 | * {{Misblamed}}: The reason why he turned evil in the first place is because a truck crashed and covered him in bleach. Granted, the girls didn't know about it. |
| 216 | * NotHimself: Yet when he's turned back to normal, the girls still beat him up and send him to jail. Issues with Rainbow's evil alter-ego were apparently settled since he was seen at the Powerpuff Girls' birthday party. |
| 217 | * ThePowerOfRock: The only way to defeat him and change him back to normal, apparently. |
| 218 | * SensoryOverload: Bright color and loud sounds seem physically painful for Mr. Mime, which is why he sets out to remove both from all of Townsville. |
| 219 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: This happens when Rainbow gets doused in bleach, he is transformed into evil and wants to take color away. |
| 220 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Rainbow's color draining powers are exclusive to his Mr. Mime persona. |
| 221 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Despite getting thrown in jail at the end of "Mime For A Change", he is a free and happy clown again in "Birthday Bash", and even got invited to the girls' party, suggesting no hard feelings remain. |
| 222 | * TragicVillain: Considering that he was a good clown turned evil. Until he gets back to good clown again. |
| 223 | * TheVoiceless: And when he drains the color, he also drains the sound. |
| 224 | * WalkingWasteland: He drains the color, sound, and general life from everything around him with just his touch or step. |
| 225 | * WhiteGloves: He dons WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse[=-esque=] gloves. |

| 229 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boogie_man_ppg.jpg]] |
| 230 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson |
| 231 | |
| 232 | Appears only in the episode "Boogie Frights." He hatches a plan to blanket the world in perpetual night by blocking out the sun with a giant disco ball, so that he and his fellow night-terrors can wreak havoc forever. |
| 233 | ---- |
| 234 | * TheCameo: He can be seen in the redone intro for "The Powerpuff Girls Rule". |
| 235 | * ClassyCane: The Boogie Man carries a cane with a diamond mounted on the top. It also has a button which he uses to launch the disco ball to block out the sun. |
| 236 | * {{Disco}}: Boogie Man's entire gimmick revolves around this. He and his horde of monsters use slang from the 70s, dance to disco music, the episode he debuts in is called "[[Film/BoogieNights Boogie Frights]]", his cronies shout "[[Music/TheJacksonFive Blame It On The Boogie]]" and he uses a giant disco ball to eclipse the sun. |
| 237 | * EvilSoundsDeep: As expected of a villain voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. |
| 238 | * FlyingCar: The Boogie Man's limo has a flight mode which he uses to pursue the girls as they attack his giant disco ball. |
| 239 | * GratuitousDiscoSequence: He's a monster with a disco theme and he blocks the sun out with a giant disco ball. |
| 240 | * HornedHumanoid: The Boogie Man has a curved horn on each side of his head. |
| 241 | * HornsOfVillainy: He has horns on each side of his head and is the main villain of his debut episode "Boogie Frights". |
| 242 | * LogicalWeakness: Being a monster of the night, it's no wonder that sunlight will kill them outright. |
| 243 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: How he dresses prior to unveiling his grand master plan. |
| 244 | * TheNightThatNeverEnds: His master plan was deploying a giant disco ball to block out the sun and keep the world in perpetual darkness so he and his fellow monsters could stay on the surface forever. |
| 245 | * PhraseCatcher: "Blame it on the Boogie!" |
| 246 | * PunnyName: He's the lead bogeyman, and he and his cohorts utilize a disco theme. |
| 247 | * PurpleIsPowerful: The Boogie Man is the leader of a race of monsters that haunt the night and has purple skin. |
| 248 | * SinisterShades: Shades that make him look funky and scary. |
| 249 | * ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: And he's their ''leader'', at that. |
| 250 | * VillainInAWhiteSuit: He wears a white disco club outfit. |

| 253 | [[folder:The Smiths]] |
| 254 | [[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thesmiths1_5430.jpg]] |
| 255 | [[caption-width-right:298:'''Narrator''': Uh-oh, looks like evil runs in the family.]] |
| 256 | ->'''Harold Smith Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett\ |
| 257 | '''Mary Anne and Julie Smith Voiced by''': Creator/KathSoucie\ |
| 258 | '''Bud Smith Voiced by''': Creator/ChristineCavanaugh |
| 259 | |
| 260 | Appear in the episodes "Supper Villain" and "Just Desserts". The Smiths were an average family living next door to the Powerpuff Girls. Harold Smith had become sickened by his routine life and menial job at a mustard factory. Inspired by Mojo Jojo, he began to embrace the life of a supervillain. Unfortunately, he chose to do this on the night his wife Mary Anne invited Professor Utonium and the [=PPGs=] to dinner. Everything eventually devolved into a food fight, and the police arrest Harold. Mary Anne, however, put a lot of effort into the dinner, and upon seeing it get ruined (and blaming the Powerpuff Girls), she vowed to destroy the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 261 | ---- |
| 262 | * BerserkButton: Do '''not''' ruin Mary Anne's dinner. It's eventually not just pressed, but stabbed in about 100 times. Also, do '''not''' lose Julie's jacks. |
| 263 | * BigBadWannabe: Despite their efforts to be real threats towards the Powerpuff Girls on the level of some of Townsville's worst villains, they can only threaten the non-powered Professor Utonium genuinely and the second the girls aren't limited by Utonium being endangered the Smiths prove too weak to pose anything resembling a physical threat to them, with even their "superweapon" minivan getting taken out in one punch before the family is effortlessly beaten down in seconds and arrested, never appearing again. |
| 264 | * BullyingADragon: They actively antagonize the girls to get revenge for the family dinner being ruined and Harold getting arrested (neither of which were really their fault) but prove nowhere near effective or genuinely dangerous to threaten the girls themselves and once they physically confront them [[CurbStompBattle they get beaten down in seconds]]. |
| 265 | * CastingGag: Most of them share voice actors with the central family of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', with the father Harold being voiced by Creator/JeffBennett like Dexter's Dad, Creator/KathSoucie voicing the mother Mary Anne like she did Dexter's Mom and the son Bud being voiced by Creator/ChristineCavanaugh like Dexter himself. |
| 266 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: The daughter, Julie, is clearly based on [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dee Dee]]. Blonde hair, ponytails, loves ballet, she ticks off all the boxes. Unlike Dee Dee, who is only a jerk in her worst days, Julie turns evil without hesitation at the first chance and is a genuine supervillain, even if ineffective. |
| 267 | * CurbStompBattle: The girls effortlessly beat them all in seconds. Even their evil minivan gets one-shotted by a single punch from Blossom. |
| 268 | * DeadpanSnarker: Bud. |
| 269 | -->'''Bud''': Okay Dad, let's talk about ''your'' amazing day. How many mustard jars ''did'' you fill? |
| 270 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Their whole scheme is to get back at the girls and the Professor and try to ''kill'' them because of Mary Anne's wrecked dinner, which she blames on the girls. She's surprised when the girls tell her [[DisappointedByTheMotive how petty her motivations were]]. Julie's reason for helping is that the Girls lost her jacks. |
| 271 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Bud is randomly called "Mike" at one point. |
| 272 | * EmoTeen: Bud. 99% of his dialogue is about how miserable he is and how everything sucks. |
| 273 | * EnfantTerrible: Julie tries to kill the Girls because they lost her jumping jacks. |
| 274 | * EvilIsPetty: Pretty much. Harold only became a villain out of spite to how "perfect" the Utoniums were while he was stuck in a rut where nothing exciting seemed to happen. Mary Anne turned just due to the fact that she blamed the Powerpuff Girls for ruining her dinner. Julie (their daughter) was mad over the [=PPGs=] losing her jumping jacks and Bud...well Bud's just an emo teen who hates everything, so he didn't take much convincing. In Mary Anne's case, the girls even tell her point-blank [[DisappointedByTheMotive how stupid her reasons for turning evil and trying to kill them were]], much to her surprise. |
| 275 | * EvilWearsBlack: Marry Anne, Julie, and Bud all wear black outfits when they make the resolve to become villains. |
| 276 | * {{Expy}}: Bud is likely named after and resembles [[Series/MarriedWithChildren Bud Bundy]] |
| 277 | * FaceHeelTurn: The whole family turns evil after Harold's breakdown. |
| 278 | * TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily: Their intentions ''are'' malicious, but they're so ridiculously unsuited for being supervillains that the most they're capable of is vandalizing the Powerpuff household. |
| 279 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Not that they get very far, but they all try and kill the Utoniums. |
| 280 | * GrandfatherClause: Harold keeps his rummaged towel cape and onesie from "Supper Villain", even as the rest of the family adopts stylish [[EvilWearsBlack black]] outfits. Since that is [[IconicOutfit the outfit viewers have identified with the character]], it would have been weird for Harold ''not'' to keep that outfit in "Just Desserts". |
| 281 | * GreenEyedMonster: Part of Harold's reason for turning evil, along with being tired of his boring life and simply being a sadistic jerk who hopes for the bad guys to win, is that he was envious of the Utonium family for their perfect life. |
| 282 | * HarmlessVillain: Harold only manages to threaten Utonium because the latter isn't risking his chances with his "weapon" (a modified hair dryer), otherwise posing no threat to anyone. When he and his family reunite and decided to became an evil team they still can threaten Utonium but only with their weaponized minivan, they pose no threat whatsoever to the girls themselves beyond vandalizing their room and house, even their weaponized minivan is completely ineffective at making them threatening and ends destroyed in one punch from Blossom; in their attempted final battle the Smiths end up getting beat down to a pulp in seconds once the girls are done listening to Mary's petty MotiveRant. |
| 283 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Mary Anne hates the Powerpuff Girls because her dinner was ruined, even though she herself took part in the pie throwing [[NotSoAboveItAll and was clearly having fun during it]] only acting angry after things settled down on their own. Blossom was in fact the only one who tried to stop everyone else from throwing pies, exclaiming "Have you all gone mad?!", only for everyone else, Mary Anne included, to throw pies at her as well. |
| 284 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Pretty much their real reason for getting revenge over their petty problems is that their egos were bruised over the dinner going pear-shaped. |
| 285 | * {{Jerkass}}: Bud helps his family try to kill the Girls and Utonium for no real reason except that he hates everything. Harold is a sadistic jerk who smirks when he sees that Mojo Jojo has taken the mayor hostage and roots for him to win. |
| 286 | * PaperTiger: While the Smiths ([[GrandfatherClause sans Harold]]) get nifty costumes once they make a FaceHeelTurn, they're still hardly a threat to the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 287 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Mary Anne when Harold reunites with her at the beginning of "Just Deserts". |
| 288 | %%* {{Revenge}}: See above. |
| 289 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with Harold, as living an average life with the extraordinary Powerpuff Girls as his neighbors filled him with enough [[GreenEyedMonster envy-fueled rage]] to become a villain. |
| 290 | * RummageSaleReject: Harold, who wears a ''Film/{{Blankman}}''-like uniform. This makes him stand out when the rest of the family don their own supervillain uniforms. Justified, in that he first donned the outfit on a spur of the moment decision. |
| 291 | -->'''Harold''': Oh, criminy. How come you guys get cool supervillain stuff?\ |
| 292 | '''Mary Anne''': We've had more time to prepare, dear. |
| 293 | * {{Sadist}}: Harold gets happy when he sees a news report saying that Mojo Jojo has taken the mayor hostage and spends the next three days hoping he will win. |
| 294 | * ShadowArchetype: Bud is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example to Harold, given that he states Harold's mind in the opening sequence of "Supper Villain": |
| 295 | -->'''Bud''': This family stinks! No one understands me! |
| 296 | * StepfordSmiler: Mary Anne. She acts all happy when the professor and girls come to visit, but she's often nervous that her dinner will get ruined, she manages to have some genuine fun over participating in a pie-throwing fight but winds up frustrated ever more after her husband is arrested and spends some time hiding her real emotions until Harold gets released. |
| 297 | * SuperFamilyTeam: A villainous family team. |
| 298 | * SuperheroesWearCapes: Both Harold and Bud wear capes. |
| 299 | * TeensAreMonsters: Bud was never nice to begin with, but his motivation for helping the family destroy the girls is that he hates everything. |
| 300 | * {{Thememobile}}: The Smith family minivan. |

| 304 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Major_Man_6377.jpg]] |
| 305 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett |
| 306 | |
| 307 | A hero who shows up in Townsville and appears to outshine the girls in every way. He's not nearly as noble as he pretends to be. |
| 308 | ---- |
| 309 | * TheAce: He appears to be this at first, effortlessly stopping crimes and saving the day. It turns out that he's the one causing the crises so that he can show up and solve them. |
| 310 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ajor '''M'''an. Get it? |
| 311 | * AmbitiousButLazy: He desires to be a superhero for the glory, but resorts to EngineeredHeroics to make himself look good rather than stop crimes and disasters. |
| 312 | * AttentionWhore: The only reason why he became a hero is to enjoy the admiration of the people. |
| 313 | * BadassBoast: ''I am the crusher of crime! The demolisher of disorder! And the eliminator of evil! I am... Major Man!!!'' |
| 314 | * BadassCape: Take a good look at it. |
| 315 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts like a kind and selfless superhero, but he's really a sleazy creep who causes problems when nobody's looking so that he can show up and save the day. |
| 316 | * BrilliantButLazy: He has actual superpowers and clearly has an understanding of how they work, but he's too lazy and cowardly to actually be a superhero. |
| 317 | * BrokenPedestal: Is on the receiving end of this from the people of Townsville, who lose all respect for him when he confesses to only being a superhero for fame. |
| 318 | * CaptainErsatz: Looks a ''lot'' like WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo if Bravo ditched his CoolShades and became a superhero; they're even voiced by [[Creator/JeffBennett the same person]]. Their personalities, however, are polar opposites; Johnny is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold egocentric and rude but is a good person deep down]], while Major Man [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends to be a brave and noble superhero but is really a selfish, glory-seeking jerk]]. |
| 319 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: Although his heroic acts turn out to be fake, his superpowers appear to be real. He likely could have been a perfectly legitimate superhero, had he not been obsessed with fame and glory. |
| 320 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Even if the girls never caught on to his schemes, it's clear he never bothered to consider what would happen if a situation he didn't orchestrate, like a giant monster, were to happen. |
| 321 | * DirtyCoward: Upon nearly being eaten by a monster, he begs the Girls to save him. |
| 322 | * DubNameChange: His name was changed to Mastodont in the Swedish dub of the show. |
| 323 | * EngineeredHeroics: Every "crime" he ever stopped was something he orchestrated, either by having actors play the roles or bribing petty thugs. |
| 324 | * EvilHero: He puts people in dangerous situations so that he can portray himself as a "hero" for saving them. He admitted this in the end of the episode, leaving everyone in a shock, and never appears in another episode. |
| 325 | * FakeUltimateHero: He is able to solve every problem that pops up before the girls can, because he sets up all the problems in advance. As soon as a threat he ''didn't'' create shows up, he turns out to be completely useless. |
| 326 | * FlyingBrick: He is at least capable of flight and super strength, but won't deal with any crimes that he didn't personally set up. |
| 327 | * GloryHound: He isn't a hero for good intentions, he just wants to be famous. He even convinces the Mayor to "dump" the girls as his emergency contact for him. |
| 328 | * HumiliationConga: Instigated by the girls; they send a monster to attack the town and capture him. He is reduced to begging and sobbing for the girls to rescue him, though they only do so after he confesses to each of the heroics he staged, getting him booed by the townsfolk. After being freed, Blossom sternly shoos him off to think about his actions. |
| 329 | %%* IAmGreatSong: The "Major Man" song. |
| 330 | * {{Jerkass}}: He causes problems in advance to fix them just for praise, showing no remorse for anyone affected. |
| 331 | * KarmaHoudini: A downplayed example. While he did get exposed as a fraud and humiliated, he never suffers any legal consequences for the crimes he committed for the sake of showing off his "heroics". |
| 332 | * KickTheDog: Literally; his true colors are exposed when he knocks a dog into traffic when he thinks nobody's looking, then swoops in to save it by stopping the cars. |
| 333 | * LanternJawOfJustice: He has a big jaw and he's a "[[FakeUltimateHero superhero]]" on top of that. |
| 334 | * LightIsNotGood: He wears a white jumpsuit with blue highlights, and is a [[FakeUltimateHero pretend superhero]] who [[GloryHound only cares about fame]]. |
| 335 | * MilesGloriosus: He can only save the day when the threat was [[EngineeredHeroics set up by him beforehand]]. When a genuine crisis occurs, he's completely helpless. |
| 336 | * SuckSessor: He becomes this to the girls; the residents of Townsville accept him as their new hero at first, but then the girls expose him as a fraud who can only save the day when he set the situation up in advance. |
| 337 | * SupermanSubstitute: He's a copy of Superman in every aspect ''but'' his morals. |
| 338 | * TemptingFate: The last verse of his theme song is "We will never lose our faith for Major Man". Less than two minutes later, Major Man turns out to be a complete fraud. |
| 339 | * TopHeavyGuy: His upper body is obviously bigger than his lower body. |
| 340 | * VillainExitStageLeft: After being exposed as a phony hero, he flies out of Townsville and is never seen again. |
| 341 | * WrongGenreSavvy: He seems to think Townsville is a cozy happy place despite the onslaught of villains and rampages it suffers in other episodes. When the Mayor first alerts him of a real monster attacking, he refuses to believe it since he didn't engineer one. Until it attacks him. |

| 345 | [[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px-abracadaver_3107.jpg]] |
| 346 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/FrankWelker |
| 347 | |
| 348 | Appearing in the episode of the same name, Abracadaver is an alias given to the long-deceased magician Al Lusion after coming back from the dead as a zombie. As a child, the Mayor of Townsville was present in the scene of Al Lusion's death, where he was impaled inside an iron maiden upon getting accidentally humiliated by a volunteer girl resembling the Powerpuff Girls themselves, more specifically Blossom. |
| 349 | ---- |
| 350 | * BackFromTheDead: Was killed in a magic trick gone wrong and came back as a zombie to terrorize Townsville. |
| 351 | * BerserkButton: Anything resembling the little girl that ruined his career, specifically Blossom. |
| 352 | * DisproportionateRetribution: "You laughed at me, but now, Revenge!" (Although technically his revenge is for the fact that them laughing at him ''indirectly caused his death'', but since that was partially his own fault it's still this trope.) |
| 353 | * EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Of course. |
| 354 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: When he was still alive, he died when he accidentally stumbled into an iron maiden, which closed shut and slammed down with him inside of it. |
| 355 | * FreudianExcuse: A magician who died and came back a power hungry zombie, getting revenge on all humans for laughing at his death. |
| 356 | * HypnoPendulum: Uses this on Blossom for a majority of his fight with the girls. It manages to incapacitate her long enough to put his evil plan for her in motion. |
| 357 | * HypnoticEyes: Uses these along with his pendulum to exacerbate Blossom's hypnosis. |
| 358 | * KnightOfCerebus: Aside from looking a whole lot more frightening than a good majority of the cast of villains, the rampage he goes on is surprisingly intense due to the frightening atmosphere provided from the entire background taking on a red hue, and his death is also shown on-screen in his backstory, as the viewers get to watch him stumble into an iron maiden and get crushed to death inside of it. He also tries to kill Blossom in the same way he died by trying to hypnotize her into walking into an iron maiden. |
| 359 | * NightmareFace: Aside from his blood red eyes and exposed skull, almost all of the skin on his face has rotted off, and what remains hangs off of his skull like a mask. |
| 360 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: A performing magician who came back as a zombie with magic powers that allow him to do whatever the plot needs him to. |
| 361 | * PunnyName: His stage name, Al Lusion, is a pun on "illusion". His alias of Abracadaver also counts, being a play on "abracadabra" and "cadaver". |
| 362 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes, and he is a ''very'' terrifying villain. |
| 363 | * {{Revenge}}: He rose from the grave to seek vengeance against those who laughed at him on the day he died. |
| 364 | * StageMagician: His career and as a magic-themed villain. |
| 365 | * ThoroughlyMistakenIdentity: He mistakenly believes that Blossom is the volunteer from the show where he died, which is why he focuses on her in particular. |
| 366 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's a very scary villain for a kid's show. |
| 367 | * WouldHurtAChild: Where to begin? Hypnotizing and throwing a girl into the very iron maiden that killed you due to looking similar to the girl who unintentionally humiliated you, trapping one in a cut-in-half box that could definitely kill her and trapping another girl in a bag and having her drown in a water tank. Granted, it all turned out to be stage magic done by the Girls themselves, but still... |
| 368 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: He sounds like he speaks in an accent that's in between an Italian one or one from the Balkans. |

| 372 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brikowski.jpg]] |
| 373 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett |
| 374 | |
| 375 | Appears in the episode "Cop Out". A [[PoliceAreUseless lazy cop]] who gets fired for that reason and tries to kill the girls out of revenge. |
| 376 | ---- |
| 377 | * AllForNothing: His plan of attempted murder by dunking the Powerpuff Girls in a vat of acid would've been a serious case of TheBadGuyWins when an officer accidentally fails to stop them from getting dunked... but they're immune to the acid. Brikowski earned himself a one-way trip to prison with nothing to see for it besides the world knowing he's a full-blown psychopath. |
| 378 | * AmbitiousButLazy: Unlike most characters who fit this trope, who put half-assed efforts into achieving their goals, he puts in a no-assed effort in that he ''[[NotHyperbole literally]]'' just sat around expecting and expects a promotion to just be ''handed'' to him. |
| 379 | * BadCopIncompetentCop: After being fired, he managed to get Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in a trap made of an air tank filled with knockout gas, a crane, reinforced chains (made by Mojo Jojo), and a vat of acid within the police impound. His own fellow officers busted him. |
| 380 | * BigEater: He loves to eat a lot of [[DonutMessWithACop doughnuts]]. |
| 381 | * BrilliantButLazy: For all his inept police prowess, to his credit he does manage to think of and put effort into a nearly well though-out plan to deceive the girls into falling in his trap so that he can kill them. In fact, the only reason his plan fails is that the acid he set the girls up to be dunked in doesn't actually work on them, something that even the girls didn't know about before that moment. |
| 382 | * DirtyCop: In addition to being lazy and incompetent, the inside of his apartment strongly hints that he is a shoplifter--all of his possessions still have price tags on them. Or it could mean he bought them legally but didn't bother removing the tags because he was too lazy to. Given his horrible habits during his time as a cop, the latter theory seems more likely. |
| 383 | * DrivenByEnvy: Probably his motivation from the start. He already thought that the girls end up getting the job done and take all the glory before the police even have a chance. It's also implied from viewing a news report that shows them in action while also ridiculing him for just sleeping in his car that his revenge stems from how much better they are than he'll ever be. |
| 384 | * DonutMessWithACop: Usually seen snacking on donuts while the other cops in the force are dealing with a problem. The chief even makes him turn in one alongside his badge and sunglasses when he also let him keep his gun "as a souvenir". Albeit, in the case of the donut, the chief told Brikowski to give it to him because he himself was hungry for one. |
| 385 | * EntitledBastard: Does nothing to help, and yet he feels he deserves everything in life for free. |
| 386 | * FatBastard: It's no surprise that's he's overweight since he eats a lot of donuts and doesn't do any real police work, even believing he's entitled to sit around and eat like a pig. |
| 387 | * FatSlob: Makes no effort to fight crime or help the citizens of Townsville, instead, let’s his fellow officers do all the hard work. |
| 388 | * FromBadToWorse: As Blossom puts it: |
| 389 | -->'''Brikowski''': "This is just another story of a good cop, gone bad.''\ |
| 390 | '''Blossom''': "You're not a good cop gone bad. You're a bad cop gone worse!" |
| 391 | * GreenEyedMonster: Considering his SmallNameBigEgo, he was pretty much envious of all the glory the girls end up getting. And that's ''before'' he lost his job. |
| 392 | * HatedByAll: Brikowski isn’t very well liked by his fellow officers in the Townsville Police Department, due to laziness, refusal to do his job, and big ego. Before he was fired, when Brikowski was called into the Chief’s office, as he believes he is finally going to get the promotion he thinks deserves, you can see some of the other officers glare at him in anger. |
| 393 | * HateSink: One of the most intentionally detestable characters in the show, given how his whole characterization revolves around the worst qualities of lazy and/or corrupt police. |
| 394 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He complains about the Powerpuff Girls stealing all the work from hard-working cops, when all he ever did was sleep and eat donuts. |
| 395 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 396 | ** The ''only'' time he does anything of worth is ''after'' he's fired from his job and sets about trying to get revenge on the girls whom he feels costed it. Otherwise, he lives off the perks of being a police officer with none of the work. |
| 397 | ** For all his talk about the girls taking away the jobs of Townville's police. It's them that come to the girls' rescue without a moment's hesitation and bust him (granted, they failed to stop the girls from being dunked in acid, which luckily they were immune to, but still ended up proving Mike's assessment wrong regardless). |
| 398 | * {{Jerkass}}: A lazy, irresponsible, short-tempered, and hypocritical cop [[EvilIsPetty who hates the Powerpuff Girls for very petty reasons]] and was more than willing to murder them with glee. |
| 399 | * LazyBum: Why he was let go in the first place. He ''never'' did his job, just ate donuts and slept in his squad car. |
| 400 | * MeaninglessVillainVictory: His ex-colleagues are too late to stop his DeathTrap... but the Girls are immune to the acid, so it doesn't matter. And even if it worked, [[DidntThinkThisThrough Townsville (including himself) would've now been defenseless against all those threats the police can't stop]], and Mike would've be locked away for the rest of his days at the very least. |
| 401 | * MisplacedRetribution: He tries to kill the girls because he felt that it was their fault that he lost his job. |
| 402 | * NeverMyFault: When he gets fired from his position, he blames the girls for being so competent at their job, and never stops and thinks that it was ''his'' fault that he got fired for his laziness. He also pretty much blames the rest of the police for not doing a good enough job when the girls get the credit they deserve ([[ItsAllAboutMe and by that he means]] ''[[EntitledBastard he]]'' [[EntitledBastard deserves it]]). Even at the end of the episode, he still thinks of himself as a "good cop gone bad", as opposed to Blossom's assessment of a "bad cop gone worse". |
| 403 | * PoliceAreUseless: Out of the police officers, he is the most incompetent and lazy of them all, which is why he got fired. Also inverted a bit, the police are actually trying to do their jobs but run into problems that are a bit much for them requiring the girls' help. However, he just stays in his car, dozing away while the action is going on and not lifting a finger to help. |
| 404 | * SevenDeadlySins: Ironically, for a cop himself, he has all of these sins being incorporated to him: |
| 405 | ** '''Sloth''': Throughout his career as a police officer, he does nothing but to just relax during a crime scene. This is what lead to his downfall as a policeman himself. |
| 406 | ** '''Gluttony''': He has a constant habit of eating donuts, even during moments when crime ensues. |
| 407 | ** '''Pride''': Despite his professional incompetence, he believes that he deserves praise, especially from his fellow workers (which, in reality, [[HatedByAll is the opposite]]) |
| 408 | ** '''Envy''': He's openly jealous about the heroic acts of the Powerpuff Girls, thinking that it makes police officers like him "look like bums" (even though he's evidently just using that reason to hide such personal jealousy of his). |
| 409 | ** '''Wrath''': Whenever the Powerpuff Girls are present to fight crime, he gets furious about it. Once he got fired, his temper eventually got lost further. |
| 410 | ** '''Lust''': He gets turned on by donuts in general. |
| 411 | ** '''Greed''': He wants to be praised by others even though he's generally a lazy cop. |
| 412 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He likes to think that he is better than the other officers when in reality, he's far ''worse'' than the other officers. He's also pretty much envious of the girls' success, and probably believes that killing them will prove that he's better than them. |
| 413 | * TheSociopath: His refusal to take responsibility for his faults, his lack of understanding for others than himself, and his willingness to attempt to kill the Powerpuff Girls out of envy without even a shred of guilt make him this. |
| 414 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: {{Donut|MessWithACop}}s. |

| 417 | [[folder:Max Von Nitrate]] |
| 418 | |
| 419 | A silent movie actor who fell into obscurity because people found his voice ridiculous once he started appearing in sound films. He now wants to take Professor Utonium's voice so he can get his fame back. |
| 420 | ---- |
| 421 | * AntiVillain: He was one a famous silent movie actor, but when film started using sound, his career was ruined since his voice is high and grating. So he just wants Professor Utonium's voice and means no real harm. |
| 422 | * HeelFaceTurn: Stops being a villain at the end of the episode, when he goes back to being an actor, and has his lines dubbed. |

| 425 | [[folder:Lenny Baxter AKA Lenny the Comic Book Geek]] |
| 426 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomKenny |
| 427 | [[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lenny_3070.jpg]] |
| 428 | |
| 429 | A one-shot antagonist who appears in "Collect Her". He is an obsessive comic book geek and toy collector, who owns every conceivable piece of Powerpuff Girls merchandise in mint condition, and wants to add the real deal to his collection. While he has no superpowers, he was able to lure the girls into his room, capture them and trap them in toy packaging, which prompted the entire town to hunt him down and ruin his mint condition toy collection in front of him in order to get him to free the girls, and he was promptly jailed. |
| 430 | ---- |
| 431 | * AllAbusersAreMale: He ''literally'' captured all of the Powerpuff Girls, thinking that his collection would be "complete" with them around. |
| 432 | * AndThenWhat: His whole plot to kidnap the girls happened because he finally completed his merch collection and didn't know what to do with himself afterward. |
| 433 | -->'''Lenny:''' Now what'll I do? Collecting Powerpuff stuff is my life. I've got every piece of merchandise known to man. Oh, it's just not enough!\ |
| 434 | '''Narrator:''' Sheesh, buddy! Get a life! |
| 435 | * AscendedExtra: Oddly, Cartoon Network's Fridays block had him hosting "Betcha Didn't Know" segments, analyzing bits of trivia from various cartoons. These universally portray him as [[MeanCharacterNiceActor friendly and humorous]], and you'd be forgiven if you forget he once tried to captured the Powerpuff Girls for all eternity. |
| 436 | * BadassNormal: He manages to trap the Powerpuff Girls without any kind of powers. |
| 437 | * BaldOfEvil: More unpleasant than evil, but he has lost his hair on top. |
| 438 | * BigNever: When the Professor interrogates him to know where the girls are, Lenny gives him this, which prompts the townspeople to start ruining his collection, much to his terror. |
| 439 | * BigNo: Lets one of these out when the Professor tears open one of his packages. |
| 440 | * TheCameo: Apart from the aforementioned "Betcha Didn't Know" segments, he also had a non-speaking role in "The Powerpuff Girls Rule". |
| 441 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: He has a large mint condition collection of every piece of Powerpuff Girls merchandise available. When there's no merchandise left for him to collect, he resorts to stealing the [=PPGs=]' personal belongings (like Bubbles' drawings and crayons, Buttercup's punching meat and Blossom's hairclip, and even the portrait of them and the Professor and the Hotline), but still isn't pleased. He's only satisfied with it when he adds the actual girls to it. Blossom and Buttercup are noticeably creeped out by it when they enter his room (although Bubbles thinks it's cool). |
| 442 | * {{Expy}}: As fat, balding, stubble-faced nerd who's obsessed with collecting merchandise and is generally an asshole to people, he's essentially this show's version of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy]]. |
| 443 | * {{Fanboy}}: Of the Powerpuff Girls. His obsession with adding them to his toy collection leads to him luring them into his room by calling for help, then capturing them and trapping them in toy packaging. |
| 444 | * FatBastard: He's fat and he's an all around unpleasant, pseudo-intellectual personality. |
| 445 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: The glasses only make him creepier. |
| 446 | * HarmlessVillain: Despite being able to lure the Powerpuff girls into his room and capture them, he has no powers at all, and he doesn't even try to put up a fight when the people of Townsville confront him. |
| 447 | * InexplicablyAwesome: [[OffscreenVillainDarkMatter Somehow]] has packages capable of restraining the [[SuperStrength Girls]], and [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome somehow]] managed to force [[FlyingBrick them]] into said packages in the first place. |
| 448 | * {{Irony}}: Just as he imprisoned the girls in packages, and keeps his former merchandise in their boxes to maintain their value, he was jailed himself after his defeat. As the narrator puts it, Lenny is placed in ''"his own box that won't be opened for a long, long time"''. |
| 449 | * {{Jerkass}}: He belittles a kid for not having the same beliefs in toys that he has. |
| 450 | * LogicalWeakness: He sees his mint-condition Powerpuff Girls merch as a treasureable investment, as kids sees them as just playthings. Taking them out of the box depreciates its collector's value. Once Professor Utonium discovers this by opening one up, he exploits this by having the kids do the same until Lenny finally reveals where he stored the girls. |
| 451 | * LoonyFan: Doesn't see anything wrong with capturing the girls and imprisoning them in packaging. |
| 452 | * {{Manchild}}: True to his ultra-fanboy nature, Lenny is an all around immature personality. He is very prideful of his collection of Powerpuff Girls merchandise, and he breaks down at the very sight or sound of a mint condition item being opened. |
| 453 | * NearVillainVictory: Or ''actual'' villain victory. For as much of a pathetic NonActionGuy as he is, Lenny actually accomplished what countless professional supervillains and even ''literal {{Satan}}'' could not: capturing the Powerpuff Girls. He's only defeated when the other townspeople rallied to raid his hideout and Professor Utonium forced him to forfeit when he rallied the kids to open up his collections in front of him. |
| 454 | * {{Otaku}}: An obessive collector of Powerpuff Girls merchandise. |
| 455 | * PsychopathicManchild: He captured the actual Powerpuff Girls and trapped them in packaging just so he could complete his collection. |
| 456 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After he and Townsville's kids tear apart his collection and leave him near catatonic, The Professor gives him one of these to him, [[TranquilFury without even raising his voice.]] |
| 457 | -->'''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." |
| 458 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His kidnapping of the Powerpuff Girls prompts the ''entire town'' to go after him; fortunately, nothing gets violent, as the Professor just has their kids destroy his collection in front of him in order to get him to free the girls. |
| 459 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Kidnapping the Powerpuff Girls with the intent of making them into collectibles just gets him in the entire town's crosshairs, as every last one of them is deeply in debt to the Powerpuffs thanks to them saving their lives countless times and the grateful citizens are more than willing to repay the favor to save them from his clutches and he rapidly finds himself being overwhelmed, and only survives thanks to Utonium forcing him to forfeit when he has the children of Townsville rip open the boxes of his toys, ruining their mint condition. |
| 460 | * TorchesAndPitchforks: Lenny's kidnapping of the girls prompts the entire town to form an angry, torch-wielding mob to confront him. |
| 461 | -->'''Lenny:''' Well, paint me green and call me Frankenstein — they're on to me! |
| 462 | * VillainousBreakdown: |
| 463 | ** He has one when he realizes that he collected every Powerpuff Girl related merchandise and freaks out because he still feels unsatisfied with his collection. This even prompts the narrator to shout "Sheesh buddy, get a life!" |
| 464 | ** He loses it when the Professor and others start destroying his mint condition collector items, and he finally gives in and frees the Girls. |

| 467 | [[folder:Mask Scara]] |
| 468 | ->'''Voiced by''': Phyllis Diller |
| 469 | ---- |
| 470 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Mask Scara even targets HIM, a demonic entity that may or may not be Satan himself, and has various supernatural powers. Surprisingly, it never comes back to bite her. |
| 471 | * EvilIsPetty: Her whole schtick is defacing people and objects with the trashy look because she's annoyed that her cosmetics company went out of business and now she wants to force her looks on everyone as a way of getting back at the public. Special mention goes to her encounter with HIM. You'd think Mask Scara would be happy with HIM's makeup but...no, after a perplexed moment where she notices that he already sports the trashy look, she just paints him to look like a clown instead. |
| 472 | * OmnicidalNeutral: She defaces both heroes and villains alike. |
| 473 | * ThePrankster: Basically. Her only crimes are vandalism of objects by giving them the trashy look and harassment of people by forcibly giving them embarrassing makeovers. Her crimes are, at worst, extremely annoying, although it is noteworthy that her makeup is almost impossible to get rid of. The narrator even describes her as this. |
| 474 | * PungeonMaster: She frequently makes makeup-based puns. |
| 475 | * PunnyName: Made ironic that she's a fan of puns. |
| 476 | * WhiteDwarfStarlet: Formerly the greatest name in make up fashion, once her fad look became old news, her empire crumbled into oblivion, and she decided to become a super villain to enforce her trashy look on everyone permanently. |

| 479 | [[folder:The Ministry of Pain]] |
| 480 | A trio of villains, Mastermind, Counterpart, and Cohort, who came out of retirement. They're the arch-enemies of Captain Rightous and Lefty. |
| 481 | ---- |
| 482 | * ArtShift: Just like Captain Righteous and Lefty, their [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/b/ba/Ministry_of_Pain_Before.png younger selves]] are depicted in a more realistic art style reminiscent of the UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks. |
| 483 | * BigThinShortTrio: As elderly folks. Counterpart is the big one, Mastermind is the thin one, and Cohort is the short one. |
| 484 | * FeelingTheirAge: Constant cough and bad backs. Their battle against Captain Rightous was quick and anti-climatic, and landed all of them, along with Lefty, to the hospital. |
| 485 | * HarmlessVillain: The only reason the Girls don't simply beat them up is because Blossom doesn't want to injure a bunch of frail geriatrics, something that others don't realize. This leads her to try to get their old nemeses to take them on, which just results in all of them hurting themselves and people getting angry at Blossom. |
| 486 | * IWasQuiteTheLooker: Back in their heyday, they were all quite muscular and well-built. Even [[MiniatureSeniorCitizen Cohort]], who was already quite short back then. |
| 487 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''No one'' wants to mess with them. Not because of their age, like Blossom, but their infamy. |

| 490 | [[folder:The Alien]] |
| 491 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson |
| 492 | |
| 493 | A colossal, metallic alien from 'Forced Kin' that seeks to conquer Earth and predicts the Powerpuffs' every move. However at the end, he can't predict Mojo's fury of being evil, and retreats after being defeated by him. |
| 494 | ---- |
| 495 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's much more competent and evil than Mojo, until he does everything Mojo ever wanted to do to Townsville, [[BerserkButton causing Mojo to go ballistic.]] |
| 496 | %%* CaptainErsatz: of Galactus. |
| 497 | * CurbStompBattle: Absolutely defeats the Powerpuff Girls, twice. In terms of evil plans, the Alien outmaneuvered and outsmarted Mojo Jojo completely. [[UnstoppableRage Mojo did not take this well]], and he managed to curbstomp the Alien. |
| 498 | * EvilGenius: Effortlessly and flawlessly outpredicts the Powerpuff Girls' attempts to stop his assault, including untested attack patterns. It got to the point that they teamed up with Mojo Jojo in order to outmaneuver him. Even when Mojo and the girls thwarts two attempts to destroy Townsville, Mojo immediately recognizes him as a worthy opponent, until the Alien starts outsmarting Mojo ''hard''. Not only performing acts of villainy that Mojo initially planned and wanted to do, but even counteracting Mojo and the girls attempts at counteracting those plans, to the point of breaking Mojo Jojo completely. |
| 499 | %%* EvilerThanThou: He thinks he's this, but Mojo digresses. |
| 500 | * GeniusBruiser: A towering robotic alien with enough firepower to demolish most of townsville, and knock out the girls with one energy blast. He is also able to completely counterattack the girls, and is intelligent enough to outsmart Mojo Jojo completely. |
| 501 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: When Mojo has beaten him up and made him fear him to the point of leaving Townsville or possibly earth forever. |
| 502 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: The Alien is able to perfectly thwart all of the girls' attempts to defeat him. The moment the Powerpuff Girls and Mojo Jojo gains momentum in stopping his plans, he personally comes out of his spaceship, and delivers a swift and terrifying rampage over Townsville. Any attempts of thwarting his new attacks are brutally thrwarted, causing Mojo to go crazy. The Alien proceeds to effortlessly blast and defeat the girls with one attack, and ruthlessly subjugate Townsville. |
| 503 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He can effortlessly destroy Townsville with a wave of his hand, even create a devastating fire tornado with some form of psychic abilities. |
| 504 | * VillainousBreakdown: After Mojo defeats him and forces him to say he is the most evil. |
| 505 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Somehow gets defeated by an enraged Mojo with regular punches and a stale loaf of bread. |
| 506 | * WorthyOpponent: To Mojo, who even admits this in the beginning, until the Alien starts doing everything Mojo ever wanted to do... |

| 517 | Only appeared in The Powerpuff Girls Movie. Primates from the local zoo mutated with Chemical X by Mojo Jojo to serve as his army, only for all of them to prove intelligent enough to compete with their own individual plans to rule the world. Fortunately, the Powerpuff Girls manage to put a stop to all of them. |
| 518 | |
| 519 | In one episode of the sixth season, there's one monkey named Mopey Popo, who was rejected when a gorilla damaged his brain. Mopey wanted to help Mojo, but proved to be a nuisance. Eventually, Mopey somehow captures the Powerpuff Girls, but decides to free them and quit being evil. |
| 520 | ---- |
| 521 | * AxCrazy: Whacko Smacko, whose idea of destroying Townsville is to go around violently slapping people full force. |
| 522 | * BadassArmy: They almost succeeded in destroying Townsville in the movie had it not been for the girls. |
| 523 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Blah-Blah Blah-Blah may be a NervousWreck, and his plan to make a tornado out of tomato sauce, called the "Tormato", may sound silly, but it is surprisingly destructive, being able to destroy buildings and suck people in. |
| 524 | * TheBrute: Rocko Socko is a ferocious, foul-tempered gorilla who specializes in brute forcing, using a pair of {{Power Fist}}s as his weapons of choice. |
| 525 | * CurseCutShort: |

| 527 | '''Mojo''': Watch your mouth! |
| 528 | * CymbalBangingMonkey: Cha-Ching Cha-Ching is themed after this, using a set of high-tech cymbals that create destructive sonic blast waves when chimed together as his weapons. He even has pupils that rhythmically flick from side to side, just like the toy. |
| 529 | -->'''Cha-Ching Cha-Ching:''' I, Cha-Ching Cha-Ching, symbolize chaotic calamity! |
| 530 | * DrillTank: What Killa Drilla uses to attack Townsville. |
| 531 | * DungFu: Invoked with Baboon Kaboom, whose plan to conquer the world centers around a HumongousMecha shaped like a stylized baboon; it deploys bombs from a rearwards-facing chute between its legs, which Baboon Kaboom picks up and lobs with the mecha's hands. It's clearly evoking the image of a monkey in a zoo flinging its poop at people, and he even refers to them as his "Baboon-Bot Bombs". Lampshaded by a disgusted Mojo, who sarcastically quips, "Oh, ''that's'' classy," when the baboon makes his introduction. |
| 532 | * TheEeyore: Mopey Popo definitely lives up to the "Mopey" in his name. |
| 533 | * EruditeOrangutan: Ojo Tango is an orangutan who is the first of the hyper-intelligent simians to turn against Mojo and operates an orangutan-shaped tank. |
| 534 | * EvilOldFolks: Pappy Wappy, who's basically an elderly version of Whacko Smacko. |
| 535 | * EvilVersusEvil: In the middle of the movie, they all get into a disagreement over which of them should be the one to conquer Townsville. |
| 536 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: They were ordinary zoo monkeys before Mojo Jojo abducted and mutated them into evil geniuses like him. |
| 537 | * GiantWallOfWateryDoom: Hota Wata's boiling hot wave of water. |
| 538 | * GoneHorriblyRight: Mojo wanted to make an army that was as evil and smart as him. However, since he made them exactly like himself, they eventually all go on to concoct their own ego-driven schemes to take over the world. |
| 539 | * HumongousMecha: A number of them use this. Particularly Ojo Tango, Baboon Kaboom, and Killa Drilla. |
| 540 | * HurricaneOfPuns: Each of the monkeys incorporates a pun related to their method of destruction: |
| 541 | -->'''Ojo Tango:''' I, Ojo Tango, shall be simian supreme-\ |

| 565 | * KillerGorilla: Rocko Socko is a gorilla and very violent, same with Bonzo Bango. A gorilla (possibly Rocko Socko) was also responsible for damaging Mopey Popo's brain when he broke out of his glass container and went on a brief rampage. |
| 566 | * KillerRabbit: Cruncha Muncha, a pygmy marmoset who bites people. |
| 567 | * LargeHam: Baboon Kaboom speaks very loudly and dramatically when he appears. |
| 568 | * LaughablyEvil: Hacha Chacha, whose plan is to throw banana peels everywhere so people keep slipping on them, and Blah-Blah Blah-Blah, who creates a tornado-force vortex out of tomato soup. |
| 569 | * MadBomber: Baboon Kaboom pilots a HumongousMecha that focuses on lobbing bombs at whatever he doesn't like. |
| 570 | * ManiacMonkeys: Mojo mutates them and unleashes them to cause havoc and destruction all over Townsville. |
| 571 | * MeaningfulName: The monkeys are named after what they do to try and destroy Townsville. |
| 572 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: Mopey Popo due to having his brain ripped out of his head by a gorilla. |
| 573 | * NervousWreck: Blah-Blah Blah-Blah speaks in stutters. |
| 574 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Hacha Chacha is a very obvious caricature of Creator/JimmyDurante in voice and appearance. His name is even a reference to Durante's CatchPhrase. |
| 575 | * NoSell: Hota Wata is mutated version of a Japanese Macaque, otherwise known as a "Snow Monkey". They're known to bathe in hot springs, like how he was shown to be doing at the Zoo prior to being mutated by Mojo. That said, Hota Wata's mutation likely makes him immune to the boiling hot temperatures from the wave of water he uses to flush out the city. |
| 576 | * PokeThePoodle: Hacha Chacha's scheme is to spread banana peels everywhere so that people will slip on them. |
| 577 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Mopey Popo was not present in the movie, mainly because he was flushed into the sewers before Mojo could set his plan into action. |
| 578 | * TheStarscream: Mojo Jojo intended for them to be his personal army, only for all of them to decide to come up with their own plans to rule the world instead. |
| 579 | * StealthPun: Hota Wata's plan for destroying Townsville is to destroy a dam to create a massive flood. He almost says "Damn" mid-monologue, which sounds exactly the same as the aforementioned word if not for Mojo Jojo interrupting him. |
| 580 | * StarterVillain: Chronologically they serve as the girls' first true threat. |
| 581 | * ThemeNaming: Like Mojo Jojo, a lot of them have names consisting of two-syllable rhymes. |
| 582 | * ThisIsADrill: Killa Drilla drives around in a giant drilling machine. Doubles as a {{pun}} as he's a mutated Mandrill. |
| 583 | * UncertainDoom: Both Ojo Tango and Baboon Kaboom are seen in their respective mechas when they are blown up by the Girls, but it's unknown if they perished or not. The wiki categorized them both as "Deceased characters" back when they had their own pages. |
| 584 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It isn't explained what happened to them after the events of the movie. |

| 587 | [[folder:Roach Coach]] |
| 588 | ->'''Voiced by''': Roger L. Jackson |
| 589 | |
| 590 | One of the first villains introduced in the show. Roach Coach uses a whistle to summon an army of cockroaches to attack Townsville. |
| 591 | ---- |
| 592 | * AdvertisedExtra: Despite appearing in numerous promotional materials and animated bumpers during its original run, and even appearing in the villain lineup in the intro and being mentioned by name in the ending theme song, he only had one starring episode and never appeared again, not even for a cameo. |
| 593 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Becomes this when he fuses with his army. |
| 594 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His short stature, distinctive combover and dark hair, as well his extreme hatred of humanity and desire for their extinction combined with him goose-stepping around in front of a crowd of fanatically loyal soldiers gives him an eerie parallel to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler. |
| 595 | * FatBastard: He's quite fat (not to mention unkempt) and also a very cruel person, seeking to wipe out all of humanity. |
| 596 | * HairAntennae: Fittingly, he has thin strands of hair at the top of his head meant to resemble a cockroach, although one of them is slightly bent and crooked. |
| 597 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Looks and watches over humans from his window by calling them "filthy dirty creatures" but upon from looking the inside of the rooms of his apartment where he calls in more cockroaches, he's not exactly one to talk himself. Granted he's [[spoiler: he's actually a cockroach inside of a robotic human vessel. Ironically cockroaches tend to cleanse themselves to avoid human contact.]] |
| 598 | * JustWhistle: Uses a whistle to summon thousands of cockroaches to fight for him. |
| 599 | * MisanthropeSupreme: He's a human himself, but hates the rest of his kind to an insane degree and wishes for their extinction, something that he's more than capable of doing due to his power of controlling roaches. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed he's not actually human, but just a super-intelligent roach in a robot suit shaped like a schlubby middle-aged man.]] |
| 600 | * RoboticReveal: [[spoiler: He's really a more intelligent cockroach in a MobileSuitHuman.]] |
| 601 | * StarterVillain: The BigBad of the first official episode. |
| 602 | * StealthPun: When he says, "Come to papa." He's literally Music/PapaRoach. |
| 603 | * StrawHypocrite: Roach Coach initially seems to be this when he accuses humans of infesting the Earth when ''he himself appears to be human''. [[spoiler:Subverted when his true nature as a super-intelligent cockroach is revealed.]] |
| 604 | * WhamShot: After his defeat, the girls fly down to check on him... [[spoiler:and it turns out he's actually a [[RoboticReveal robot]] controlled by a highly intelligent cockroach.]] |
| 605 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Roach Coach has yellow eyes and is the BigBad of his debut episode "Insect Inside". |

| 607 | |
| 608 | [[folder:The Broccoloids]] |
| 609 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett |
| 610 | |
| 611 | A race of broccoli aliens who try to invade Earth. |
| 612 | ---- |
| 613 | * AlienInvasion: They invade the Earth with brainwashing spores that spread to the vegetables causing those who eat them to become immobile. |
| 614 | * BadassCape: The leader of the alien broccoli stands out from the others by wearing a belt and a flowing red cape. |
| 615 | * EatenAlive: The girls defeat them by eating them, with help from all the children of Townsville. |
| 616 | * GreenAndMean: Evil vegetable alien people that makes every single parent of Townsvillle into a hypnotized catatonic state with their spores, which causes all of their children worry and distress upon them. |
| 617 | * GreenIsGross: Since kids outright despise broccoli by default, they're merely nothing but yucky vegetables to them. Even the girls themselves aren't immune to this. They do find the courage to break their parents out of their trance by eating all of the Broccoloids to save them. |
| 618 | * HealingFactor: Can instantly regrow bitten off limbs (partially because of their alien physiology) which literally scared the pants off of Bubbles. They'd have to be completely eaten to finish them off for good. |
| 619 | * LameLastWords: As soon as the Broccoloid ruler is left defenseless and is at the mercy of The Powerpuff Girls when his men is devoured, his final words are nothing but pun-related pleas. |
| 620 | -> '''Broccoloid Commander''': No! No! Leaf me alone! I don't dessert this! |
| 621 | * LogicalWeakness: While the Broccoloids can regenerate FromASingleCell, they can't come back if nothing is left of them to regenerate ''from''--thus, eating every bit of a Broccoloid is the only way to keep it from coming back. |
| 622 | * NoSell: The girls' normal attacks only temporarily stun them as they grow back their limbs immediately after. |
| 623 | * VillainsWantMercy: The king fearfully begs the girls not to eat him after his army is gone. |
| 624 | * WeaksauceWeakness: They can regrow their limbs if they lose them, but one can just eat them to defeat them. |
| 625 | * WouldHurtAChild: After finding out that the girls and all of the kids aren't hypnotized, they send in their troops to fight and destroy them. One of the brocoloids even had one kid in football gear pinned down as he's wickedly snickering and raising his fist. Bubbles saves the boy by letting rabbits loose from a pen as they eat the alien broccoli. |

| 627 | |
| 628 | [[folder:The Sandman]] |
| 629 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/GregEagles |
| 630 | |
| 631 | A one-shot antagonist in ''Dream Scheme'', the Sandman is tasked with putting everyone in the world to sleep each night. Unfortunately, since half the world is awake at any given moment, [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes doing his job means he can never catch so much as a wink of sleep himself]]. He decides to remedy this by putting everyone on earth into an eternal slumber so he can finally catch some sleep, and the girls have to wake him up and convince him to undo the change. |
| 632 | ---- |
| 633 | * AntiVillain: He isn't evil at all; the guy just wants to get some sleep for a change, and doesn't even realize he's doing any harm. |
| 634 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has purple skin. |
| 635 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: As mentioned, this is the reason why he puts everyone into an eternal sleep to begin with: So he can finally get a good night's shut-eye himself. |
| 636 | * DishingOutDirt: Uses his magic sand to put others to sleep. |
| 637 | * RhymesOnADime: Most of his dialogue is given to the tune of various nursery rhymes. The entire episode's dialogue is given almost entirely in rhyme as well. |
| 638 | * ScareEmStraight: How the girls make him undo the eternal sleep. |
| 639 | * SinisterSchnoz: Has a large blue nose. |
| 640 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Played with. His hair is white from age, and he's somewhat selfish and inconsiderate. |
| 641 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He hardly ever gets any sleep, and he has lived like that for years. This has caused him to attempt to make the whole world sleep forever, so that he can finally sleep himself. |
| 642 | [[/folder]] |
| 643 | |
| 644 | [[folder:Patches]] |
| 645 | |
| 646 | An imaginary friend made up by a new student who proves to be outright malicious. |
| 647 | ---- |
| 648 | * ImaginaryEnemy: Patches was made up by Mike due to having trouble socializing with others. Unfortunately, Patches proved to do a lot more harm than good as he started getting Mike in trouble. |
| 649 | * TakesOneToKillOne: The girls' attempts to defeat patches prove fruitless due to being unable to see him. Thus, in order to win, the girls come up with their own imaginary friend to deal with him. |
| 650 | [[/folder]] |
| 651 | |
| 652 | [[folder:The Robbing Leech]] |
| 653 | A one-shot antagonist in the episode "Headsuckers Moxy". A master thief with the ability to drain a person's memories with his leech-like mouth. He goes on a robbing spree throughout Townsville, but is ultimately defeated when the girls trap him by using the Mayor as bait. |
| 654 | ---- |
| 655 | * ActuallyNotAVampire: His powers make him seem like one, but he's actually a leech. |
| 656 | * AffablyEvil: While he never talks, his mannerisms imply this. After robbing the Sapphire Sultan of his jewel which he kept in his stomach, he tips his hat in a polite "thank you" gesture. |
| 657 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: It's hard to tell if he's a superpowered human or something else entirely. |
| 658 | * AnimalMotifs: The leech, obviously. |
| 659 | * BadassInANiceSuit: He's a skilled master thief and he rocks a pretty nice suit. Man's got taste. |
| 660 | * TheBadGuyWins: Implied. The girls's plan was to lure the Leech to them by using the Mayor as bait, under the belief that the Mayor is too dumb for the Leech to drain any information out of him. However, after the Leech is defeated, the Mayor ends up with a case of memory loss, implying the Leech ''did'' drain some information out of him. That or the Mayor really ''is'' that dumb, and is simply confused with what just happened anyway. |
| 661 | * BaldOfEvil: More like Balding of Evil. He has hair, just not on the top of his head. |
| 662 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Despite being OutGambitted by and lured into a trap by the Girls, the Robbing Leech's response is to attack the girls and fight with everything he has. |
| 663 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The very end of the episode reveals that he even got ''the Narrator'' during his brain-sucking spree. |
| 664 | * LampreyMouth: Has a sucker-mouth with a ring of fangs, though this is more akin to a lamprey than a leech. |
| 665 | * MadeOfIron: During the fight with the girls, he gets sucker punched by Buttercup and sent flying into the wall, only to get right back on his feet. Considering Buttercup has SuperStrength, that's saying something. |
| 666 | * MeaningfulName: The girls named him the Robbing Leech due to his memory draining abilities and his leech-like mouth. |
| 667 | * NoMouth: Subverted. He ''does'' have a mouth, but when his mouth is closed, it makes it look like this at first glance. |
| 668 | * NothingIsScarier: What makes the Robbing Leech so creepy is how little we know about him. While most of the villains in the show have at least some semblance of a backstory, he doesn't. There's little to no information on who he is, how he got his powers, or for that matter is he even human. He more or less is just ''is''. |
| 669 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The "Robbing Leech" was a name the girls made up for him. It's unknown if he calls himself that or if he even ''has'' a name beyond that. |
| 670 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: He's roughly the same size as the girls and the Mayor, but can overpower larger targets with ease. |
| 671 | * ShoutOut: To Robin Leech, best known as the host of ''Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous''. |
| 672 | %%* TheSpook: See NothingIsScarier above. |
| 673 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Either subverted or double subverted. The girls's plan was to lure the Leech to them by using the Mayor as bait, under the belief that the Mayor is too dumb for the Leech to drain any information out of him. However, the reason the Leech was defeated was he had ''already drained'' the information out of him, as the Mayor ends up with memory loss at the end of the episode. However, it's implied that the Mayor actually ''doesn't'' have memory loss, and is just being his dumb old self who doesn't get it. Not to mention the Leech apparently gets exhausted and collapses before getting all, if ''any'' of the information he needed. |
| 674 | * VampiricDraining: His main superpower. He can use his leech like mouth to drain a person's memories, allowing him to use the information to steal their valuables. The victim is left with an imprint of his mouth on their heads, memory loss, and severe headaches as a side effect. |
| 675 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's a terrifying monster that attacks people with his teeth. |
| 676 | * VillainousValor: When you're willing to take on three superpowered girls who regularly defeat giant monsters despite having no powers beyond your ability to drain memories, you must have this trope. |
| 677 | * TheVoiceless: He never speaks or makes any sound other than the screech he makes when he's attacking. It's unknown if he even ''can'' talk. |
| 678 | * WouldHurtAChild: He attack’s The Powerpuff Girls after they lure him into their trap and even almost drains Blossom of her smarts. |

| 684 | A trio of thugs that impersonate the Powerpuff Girls after several failed attempts at robbery. |
| 685 | ---- |
| 686 | * BeardOfEvil: The EvilRedhead has a beard. |
| 687 | * EvilRedhead: The leader of the trio is a criminal with red hair, with a BeardOfEvil to compliment it. |
| 688 | * NoNameGiven: Their names are never revealed. |
| 689 | * PaperThinDisguise: They somehow manage to fool the townspeople (except Ms. Bellum) with their Powerpuff costumes when it's blatant that they're three grown men in ridiculous disguises. Yet, even they don't recognize each other when trying to fight the real Powerpuffs, until Blossom suggests each fight their counterpart. |
| 690 | * RealMenWearPink: As the crooks are in jail discussing the benefits of impersonating the Girls, the mohawk haired crook is thinking about the feminine bows and ribbons he'd get to wear. |
| 691 | * RuleOfThree: They're three criminals who are together committing three different crimes. |
| 692 | * ScaryBlackMan: One of the trio consists of a muscular black thug. |

| 701 | ---- |
| 702 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He pretends that he's a nice guy who interested in making a movie about the Powerpuff girls, only for him to reveal his true colors in his trailer and admit that he only wanted to con people. Then again, he does reveal his true colors bit by bit down the road. |
| 703 | * ConArtist: His plan was to create a fake movie to swindle Townsville out of their money. |
| 704 | * {{Jerkass}}: His true colors slipped out when he angrily told Bubbles to keep her mouth shut. |
| 705 | * LanternJawOfJustice: The evil kind. |
| 706 | * SmugSnake: He was too confident in his abilities as a Hollywood director and he didn’t believe that his plan won’t succeed. |

| 712 | An oblivious burglar who once tried to rob the Powerpuff Girls' house in "Burglar Alarmed". The Girls would have dealt with him easily, but Professor Utonium needed to sleep for a dissertation, and they didn't want to risk waking him up. |
| 713 | ---- |
| 714 | * AffablyEvil: Even if he is robbing their house, the burglar does act nice to the girls, at least before he finds out their true nature. |
| 715 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a little goatee. |
| 716 | * InTheHood: He wears a black hood over his head. |
| 717 | * HarmlessVillain: He's not really much of a threat, being an ordinary burglar and all, but he ends up getting knocked out by Professor Utonium ''while he's still asleep''. |
| 718 | * StupidCrooks: To reiterate his main description, he tried to rob ''the Powerpuff Girls''. Lampshaded by Buttercup when she asks who in their right mind would rob the Powerpuff Girls and by the narrator when he says that he feels sorry for him after he opts to rob Mojo Jojo's volcano lair. |
| 719 | * TooDumbToLive: Trying to rob the house of the Powerpuff Girls was one thing, but Mojo Jojo's lair? That's practically suicide. |

| 730 | * BadassAdorable: All of them are cute but they are skilled felons. |
| 731 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: They act innocent and sweet around other people, but when they're alone with the Powerpuff Girls, they are mean. |
| 732 | * CastingGag: They all share the PPG's same voice actors. |
| 733 | * CuteIsEvil: They're undeniably adorable, but don't forget that they are still criminals. |
| 734 | * DeliberatelyCuteChild: They act cute, but it's only to get off scot-free for crimes. |
| 735 | * EnfantTerrible: They are referred to as baby animals, and they rob banks among other things. |
| 736 | * FullNameBasis: Always referred to by their full names. |
| 737 | * FluffyTheTerrible: You wouldn't expect creatures with such cute names as theirs to be evil, would you? Fluffy Kitty even has "Fluffy" in her name! |
| 738 | * {{Greed}}: The Bunch is obsessed with having rare things. |
| 739 | * HatesBeingTouched: They hate to be hugged. The Girls take advantage of this by luring them into a room full of little kids wanting to hug them. |
| 740 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: They are cute animals. They even take advantage of how cute they are to convince others to not get them in trouble. |
| 741 | * TalkingAnimal: They are animals that can talk. |

| 789 | ---- |
| 790 | * AllBikersAreHellsAngels: They are a biker gang of monstrous, destructive thugs with limited intelligence, who literally turn the area around them into a wasteland with their passing. |
| 791 | * AxCrazy: A trio of foaming-at-the-mouth mad maniacs, they are. |
| 792 | * BadassBiker: Clearly dangerous and strong (even Wheezer casually survives being fired from a cannon), though they seem to be rather flexible about what counts as a bike. |
| 793 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: Both Goll-Gorr and Hog-Gwarr. |
| 794 | * TheDreaded: Everyone, including a whole cordon of cops, just drops everything and runs away screaming at the sight of them. |
| 795 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: Their appearance at the end of the episode is set up briefly early on, with a TV host mentioning them and Gangreen Gang as examples of criminals who will enjoy newfound freedom with Powerpuff Girls banned from fighting crime. |
| 796 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Once they get hungry they chow down on anything they find "yummy", including a mailbox, a can of garbage, and a police car. Then they decide to move to ''people''. |
| 797 | * GodzillaThreshold: For the Practices, who are forced to uplift the fighting ban imposed on Powerpuff Girls, something they were firmly crusading for, to save themselves from the Dooks. |
| 798 | * HulkSpeak: They speak either this or incomprehensible gibberish. |
| 799 | * HumanCannonball: Well, rat cannonball. When Goll-Gorr needs a missile, he fires Wheezer out of his tank's cannon. From Wheezer's reaction, we can infer this is both a common occurrence and he doesn't enjoy it one bit. |
| 800 | * LargeAndInCharge: Goll-Gorr is big enough to sit in a whole ''tank'' the way a child sits in a toy car and seems to be the leader of the group. |
| 801 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A fast-paced, intense, Heavy Metal song. |
| 802 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had the Dooks left Stanley and Sandra Practice alone, they would have free reign over Townsville with Powerpuff Girls banned from fighting crime. |
| 803 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: They stick out because of them being based off of Ed Roth's artwork. |
| 804 | * OurOrcsAreDifferent: Goll-Gorr appearance and behavior invoke an image of an Orc, especially the kind you can find in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''. |
| 805 | * OutsideContextProblem: Are this to Stan and Sandra Practice, as their security measures against normal criminals are basically cardboard for the Dooks. |
| 806 | * PigMan: Hog-Gwarr is a large bipedal pig. |
| 807 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Despite this being their first (and only) appearance, both the TV hosts and the Narrator treat them as well-known enemies on pair with Gangreen Gang. |
| 808 | * RodentsOfUnusualSize: Wheezer is a human-sized rat. |
| 809 | * ShoutOut: |
| 810 | ** A pig-man whose never seen not driving a vehicle of some sorts who speaks so rapidly that he's rendered unintelligible, clearly a reference towards the Pig-Sheriff in WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack. |
| 811 | ** Their appearances are based off of the artwork of the late Ed Roth, fittingly enough, considering that they're a group of vicious and psychotic retro-styled bikers. |
| 812 | * SlobsVersusSnobs: Dirty, chaotic, destructive, brutish slobs to Stan and Sandra Practice's snobs. |
| 813 | * TankGoodness: Goll-Gorr drives a tank, seemingly only his legs fitting inside it. |
| 814 | * ToServeMan: Have no issue eating humans whatsoever. |
| 815 | * TheUnintelligible: At first Hog-Gwarr and Goll-Gorr seem to have a whole conversation in a series of incomprehensible grunts and roars that barely sounds like a language, then the Dooks switch to HulkSpeak. |
| 816 | * VisualPun: Hog-Gwarr, a giant hog, rides a Harley-like motorcycle a.k.a. a hog. |
| 817 | * WalkingWasteland: Them driving through the suburbs alone literally turns it into a desolated wasteland. |

| 820 | [[folder:Giant Monsters]] |
| 821 | Stock monsters that appear in many episodes to terrorize Townsville for the girls to defeat. Some monsters play important roles in a few episodes, such as the Blowfish facing DYNAMO in "Uh Oh Dynamo". |
| 822 | ---- |
| 823 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: A literal example. The giant Blowfish has a bigger brother that the Powerpuffs need to pilot the DYNAMO to stop him. |
| 824 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: All of the monsters are massive in size, and are able to destroy buildings with ease. |
| 825 | * FluffyTheTerrible: The monster from "Super Zeroes" is named Steve. |
| 826 | * {{Kaiju}}: Many of them look like something out of a Japanese monster movie. |
| 827 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: They are usually extremely hard for anyone, even the Powerpuff Girls, to handle. They usually get defeated in the end of the episode, but some of them weren't even defeated, like the monster that Bubbles just politely asked to not stand in Townsville, and he accepted that, despite Blossom and Buttercup constantly failing at beating him before that. |
| 828 | * {{Notzilla}}: An orange monster looks like one in 'Three Girls and the Monster' episode. Also, it is one of the most powerful monsters the girls have to face, it took Bubbles to politely ask it to leave. |
| 829 | * NotAlwaysEvil: Many of them ''don't want'' to destroy Townsville (thank goodness as some of them [[NighInvulnerability are truly invincible]]), it's that fighting the Powerpuff Girls is merely a [[AHeroToHisHometown rite of passage]] for them on Monster Island. |
| 830 | * {{Oculothorax}}: The monster from "The Mane Event" is a beholder-like creature consisting of black orb full of blue eyes. It's large enough to block out the sun's lightning in Townsville, and its eyes shoot vaporizing lasers. It can only be attacked when its eyes are shut. |
| 831 | * {{Orochi}}: A red, three-headed snake beast appears in "Octi Evil". |
| 832 | * PunchClockVillain: In "Super Zeroes", one monster named Steve explains that the monsters live on an island and attack Townsville as a rite of passage, and surviving a bout with the girls is what gets them respect. Another one teams up with the girls to expose a fraudulent superhero. And in "Down 'N' Dirty", one monster refused to fight Buttercup because '''[[ThePigPen she stinked!]]''' |
| 833 | * VisualPun: In the episode "Curses", the Powerpuff Girls encounter a giant monster that speaks in hardly anything other than swears (represented as mumbling gibberish) and has a toilet for a head. He is both figuratively and literally a potty mouth. |
