| 31 | [[caption-width-right:350:He is bad, he is evil, he is MOJO JOJO!]] |
| 32 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RogerLJackson (English), Creator/ChristianPelissier (French, 1998-2019) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | A MadScientist chimpanzee with great intelligence, a pseudo-Japanese accent, and a convoluted, repetitive manner of speaking (inspired by the speech patterns of characters in the English dub of ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' and ''Literature/TheSuperDictionary''). As revealed in the episode "Mr. Mojo's Rising", and expanded upon in ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie'', Mojo Jojo was originally Professor Utonium's reckless lab assistant, Jojo, before Professor Utonium created the Powerpuff Girls, and it was he who caused the Professor to accidentally add Chemical X to the mixture, thus making him responsible for their creation. The reason he hates the girls so much is out of envy of the affection they received from the Professor that he did not. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | To listen to Mojo himself list these tropes, [[SelfDemonstrating/MojoJojo click here]]. |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | * AccidentalHero: In "Just Another Manic Mojo". Mojo tried to kill the Powerpuff Girls, while having them sit and wait, as he claims to find their ball. However, he grows so frustrated by The Powerpuff Girls sticking their nose in everything in his lair, that he gives them the ball, only so he can get rid of them. The next day, the newspaper declares him a hero for giving them their ball back. |
| 39 | * TheAce: He can create amazingly built inventions like giant robots and hi-tech guns effortlessly, is a fully trained hibachi chef, took the Gangreen Gang out with a trash can lid, beat a giant alien overlord with his bare hands and no backup, and built a machine that alters reality. |
| 40 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the reboot, he's nowhere near the threatening ArchEnemy of the girls like he was in the original, being treated as just a nuisance and a HarmlessVillain who has a ''lot'' of effeminate traits and does a lot of {{Enemy Mine}}s with the girls to deal with the newer, stronger villains. |
| 41 | * AesopAmnesia: About half of his failures to destroy the girls would be reduced if he would just simply take the time to plan his schemes carefully in order to circumvent any major flaw he often overlooks. |
| 42 | * AffablyEvil: The Powerpuff Girls Movie manual states that Mojo displays a very sympathetic nature, for starters. To get into detail: |
| 43 | ** He’s pleasant and friendly to those who don't get in his way (if he's in a good mood that is), and genuinely respects the Powerpuff Girls, as his rivals. If he's not fighting, the worst that can be said is that he's grumpy at times. |
| 44 | ** In the Toonface Commercial, Mojo Jojo got annoyed that Ed was on the page, but still managed to politely chat with him afterwards, while still trying to send a virus into the page. |
| 45 | ** He even calls the Powerpuff Girls in a spoof of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. |
| 46 | ** "Just Another Manic Mojo" is a whole episode that portrays him sympathetically. The tiny frustrations of daily life fill him with a rage that can only be sated with ''vengeance'' against the Powerpuff Girls! |
| 47 | --> '''Mojo Jojo''': I swear that today is the day that I will develop a plan so diabolical and evil, that I will crush the Powerpuff Girls! But first, [[SkewedPriorities I must attend to the dishes that I have soiled with the food that I have eaten.]] |
| 48 | ** In one episode, the Powerpuff Girls visit him to ask if they can borrow his DeathRay for a moment. Being busy looking for his last plan to destroy them (something he casually mentions during their exchange), he agrees to let them take it. |
| 49 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He has green skin due to Chemical X exposure. |
| 50 | * AmazonChaser: In "Monkey Love", he exclaims "What a woman!" upon seeing Barbarus punch Buttercup during a brawl. |
| 51 | * AmbiguouslyBi: |
| 52 | ** He fell in love with Moko Jono, a female chimpanzee, in "Meet the Beat-Alls". But one of the flashbacks of "''The City Of Clipsville''" has a scene where he disguises himself as Ms. Bellum during her wedding with the Professor, saying: "I have always loved you." |
| 53 | ** In the reboot, pretty much the whole base of his character was being obsessed with [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing]], and has been DisguisedInDrag more than once, and most of those times were intentional on Mojo's part. He sure has an effeminate personality. He also fell in love with the villainess gorilla Barbarus. |
| 54 | * AntiVillain: Whenever he's not scheming or wreaking havoc, he's actually pretty law-abiding, and lives a normal life, like everyone else. He also has his morals, respect, and dignity, and is confirmed, to actually be a WellIntentionedExtremist, in "The Powerpuff Girls Rule". |
| 55 | * ArchEnemy: He is the most reoccurring villain in the show, and came close to defeating the Powerpuff Girls several times. He serves as a foil to them, combating their "ultra superpowers" with his genius intellect. He was also created by the same accidental spill of chemical X that created the girls (an accident he caused no less). The movie reveals that he was the first super villain the girls ever encountered, inadvertently inspiring them to become superheroes when he first tries to take over Townsville. |
| 56 | * ArchNemesisDad: He actually created the Powerpuff Girls, and he's also their biggest enemy. |
| 57 | * ArtEvolution: When the show switched to digital ink, Mojo's design evolved the most, as he was given pointy ears, his face became more narrow and angular and his TopHeavyGuy stature became even more exaggerated. It's most noticeable with his pre-mutated appearance in the movie than how he looked in "Mr. Mojo's Rising". In fact, Creator/CraigMcCracken [[https://twitter.com/CrackMcCraigen/status/1582023813948022784 stated that the idea behind the revision was to make him more evil.]] On top of that, he is also in-between with both designs, [[https://twitter.com/CrackMcCraigen/status/1617544434085920768 saying one is eviler, and the other is funnier.]] |
| 58 | ** In the 2016 reboot, Mojo's ears are round again similar to his pre-movie design, while his tunic is more purple. |
| 59 | * AsianAndNerdy: He speaks with a Japanese accent and is a super-genius. |
| 60 | * AttentionWhore: The reason why he turned evil? He was envious of the Powerpuffs getting more attention than him. |
| 61 | * AxCrazy: He's extremely homicidal and explodes into violent tantrums when pushed too far. |
| 62 | * BadassBookworm: One example to prove Mojo's intelligence, is that he created ''The Rowdyruff Boys'', who managed to overpower the Powerpuff Girls, in a prison cell, using only snips, snails and a puppy dog tail, and it only took 5 minutes, to do so! |
| 63 | * BadassCape: Wears a purple cape. |
| 64 | * BadassNormal: He defeated a godlike alien overlord only with his fists and a hard piece of bread. He also uses his hi-tech machinery to fight off the girls, and sometimes even outsmarts them, using his brains. |
| 65 | * TheBadGuyWins: The GrandFinale has him actually conquer the world... [[spoiler:and is actually a surprisingly benevolent ruler who fixes most of the world's problems]]. However, he eventually realizes that VictoryIsBoring and returns to supervillainy. |
| 66 | * BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Ends up happening literally when he gets a job babysitting the Girls with the promise of a full pardon from the Mayor. By the end of the night, he practically begs the cops to take him back to jail. |
| 67 | * BenevolentBoss: To The Rowdyruff Boys. He treats them like his actual children, not like his slaves, and the reason why he does use them to fight off the girls, is that they want to. |
| 68 | * BerserkButton: |
| 69 | ** In the episode, Forced Kin, he goes absolutely insane when the Alien Force do every evil deed he's wanted to do right in front of him. |
| 70 | ** Calling him a hero is also a trigger of his; even after saving Townsville (and potentially, the world) from an evil alien force who outwitted the girls at every turn, he ''still'' insists that he be called evil. |
| 71 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite always being underestimated by the Powerpuff Girls for being a CardCarryingVillain whose perfect scheming isn't his talent, and rambles a lot, Mojo's shown multiple times how dangerous he can be. A few examples: The Movie, where he and his ape army nearly caused ''genocide'' and only failed due to infighting, and nearly destroyed the Powerpuff Girls when he decided to fight them personally, his first appearance "Monkey See, Doggie Do", where he turned the world into dogs, and then there's his VillainousBreakdown, in which he is ''frightening''. |
| 72 | * BigBad: He is the most well-known villain, the girls' ArchEnemy, and the BigBad of TheMovie. |
| 73 | * BigGood: In the GrandFinale Episode. As it turns out, [[spoiler:his reason for wanting to rule the world is that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans]]. He happily throws it out the window though, because VictoryIsBoring. |
| 74 | * BigNo: Often happens when he is defeated. |
| 75 | * BigThinShortTrio: The Short to Fuzzy Lumpkins' Big and Him's Thin. |
| 76 | * BodyHorror: Underneath his helmet, his brain is protruding from his head as a result of his exposure to Chemical X severly affecting his intelligence. Notably, it's only seen as odd outside of universe. |
| 77 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Has done commentary for the episode ''Slumbering With The Enemy'' and the movie. Most of it involved him cheering when he was winning and telling the audience to stop watching when he lost. |
| 78 | * BroughtDownToNormal: In the movie, it is shown that Mojo had several powers such as fire, throwing spikes from his hand, SuperStrength, and the ability to turn into a giant, all until he fell into a dose of Antidote X. This happens again in Mr. Mojo's Rising, where he gains the powers from The Powerpuff Girls, and eventually wins against them. However, they remove his powers once again. |
| 79 | * ButtMonkey: No pun intended of course, but he can be this depending on the episode, but more prominently in the earlier seasons and in the reboot. |
| 80 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to the Girls' Abel (except he's technically their father, not their brother). |
| 81 | * CardCarryingVillain: ''I am bad, I am evil, I am Mojo Jojo!'' |
| 82 | * CharacterDevelopment: In the 10th-anniversary episode, Mojo lost all hope in ruling the world, and decided to start over. [[spoiler:However, when Mojo got the key to the world, he succeeded in ruling the world, but did for a different cause than everyone thought. Everyone expected him to enslave the people, but as it turns out, he only had good intentions. He ended world hunger, stopped global warming, cured all diseases, ended all wars, and gave free puppies for everyone. He was even able to forgive the Powerpuff Girls for stopping him all this time]]. But then he goes back to villainy because VictoryIsBoring. |
| 83 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: At the start of the series, Mojo is notably a rather significant threat, though humorous and his own brand of [[DidntThinkThisThrough oversight-prone]]. In a zigzagged case, he bounces between IneffectualSympatheticVillain and the straight up threatening, murderous BigBad the series started him as, though his lighter side becomes more prominent the further down the line the series goes. It's to the point that in the anniversary special [[spoiler:he finally takes over the world -- and is ''the'' BigGood that basically solves everything the Powerpuff Girls can't.]] |
| 84 | * TheChessmaster: He is this in the movie. He brings out fake tears to the girls to get help to create his lair so that he can create an army of apes to rule the world. Then, after the house is created, he takes them to the zoo, so that he can import the apes and monkeys to his newly created lair and mutates them to be super-villains like himself, and voila, he gets his very own army and succeeds in ruling the world. The only thing that stopped him was falling from the tower and landing on a glass of Antidote X. |
| 85 | * ColdBloodedTorture: He did this once to Bubbles in "Bubblevicious". |
| 86 | * ConvictedByPublicOpinion: In "Los Dos Mojos" when Bubbles goes on a rampage believing that she is Mojo Jojo, Buttercup, after seeing the true one, starts beating him up. After they find out that it is Bubbles that is destroying the city, Buttercup and Blossom quickly assume that he did something to their sister and punch him. And after Bubbles regains her memories, but not before defeating her sisters, she believes instantly that it was Mojo Jojo who caused all the trouble and beats him up. Mojo Jojo got beaten up three times while not doing anything. |
| 87 | * CoolTeacher: In ''Mo'Linguish'', he's forced by the court to teach an adult English course at the community college and he proves to be an effective teacher even if he taught people to speak in the repetitive, roundabout way he does and ends up catching the whole city in a standstill. |
| 88 | * CreateYourOwnHero: Professor Utonium told him that he was responsible for the addition of Chemical X in the girls' creation. [[VillainousBSOD He was so shocked]] that the episode ends with him still dazed from this revelation. |
| 89 | ** It manages to go even deeper when he travels to the past to kill Professor Utonium as a child so that he would never create the girls in the first place. By the end of the episode, this ends up being what inspires Utonium to pursue a life of science and eventually create the girls in the first place. |
| 90 | * CulturedBadass: He enjoys listening to classical music and building model ships as a hobby. |
| 91 | * CuteLittleFangs: All his teeth, pretty much. |
| 92 | * DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes, especially to the Powerpuff Girls, or when someone is doing something ''really'' stupid. His shining moment is possibly ''Los Dos Mojos' where Bubbles steals his clothes because she thought she was him, just about everything he says in that episode is sarcastic. |
| 93 | * DefeatCatchPhrase: '''"CURSES!"''' |
| 94 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He speaks this way all the time, which is to say that the manner in which he vocally expresses himself is extremely roundabout and repetitive, containing long and elaborate sentences which tend to reiterate their own subjects constantly. This is taken to extreme levels in "Mo' Linguish", where he's forced to teach a beginner's English class at Townsville Community College and ends up re-teaching the entire city to speak this way, which brings the entire city to a complete standstill. The creators state that his speech patterns were inspired by English dubs of shows like Speed Racer as well as the DC Super Dictionary. He stops doing this in the reboot. |
| 95 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Sometimes, he's a real threat, sometimes he's an IneffectualSympatheticVillain. |
| 96 | * {{Determinator}}: As said before, he never gives up. The guy deserves some respect for still attempting to rule the world, no matter what punishments the Powerpuff Girls are putting him through. After years of ripped capes, destroyed inventions, foiled plans, repetitively getting his face smashed brutally, and even getting several of his teeth punched out, he still doesn't quit!!! He only gave up once, but he was quick to find hope again, and he ''succeeded'' in ruling the world shortly after (and for a different cause than everyone thought). |
| 97 | * DepravedDwarf: Especially given his obsession in taking over not just Townsville, but also ''the entire world''. |
| 98 | * DiabolicalMastermind: He is the most intelligent villain, being able to create all sorts of hi-tech gadgets, weapons, and robots. |
| 99 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: A recurring problem with him. |
| 100 | ** In "Monkey See, Doggie Two" when he didn't think of other ways to outsmart the girls besides putting a metal on his behind. |
| 101 | ** In fact, in one episode, while trying to find out the culprit behind a string of robberies, the Girls promptly ruled him out as a suspect because they were too well thought out. |
| 102 | ** After he uses an ancient artifact to turn all of Townsville into dogs, the Powerpuff Girls defeat him by biting him on the butt, making him drop the statue. [[HereWeGoAgain He tries again in a later episode]], [[ComicallyMissingThePoint and only protects himself from being bitten on the butt again]], not accounting for the fact that the Girls are normal this time and can just use their powers to stop him like usual. |
| 103 | ** In the movie, he tricks the Girls into using Chemical X to create his own mutant simian army he plans to lead...except every simian is now as smart and megalomaniacal as him, and each one has their own plans for world domination. |
| 104 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Calls Him a loser to his face in "Meet the Beat-Alls", and fearlessly claims that His evil is second compared to Mojo's in ''Custody Battle''. Keep in mind that Him is basically this world's Satan. |
| 105 | * DitzyGenius: He can invent high-tech inventions and was reading quantum physics textbooks before he became a villain, but his various quirks and inability to learn from his mistakes tend to undermine his genius. |
| 106 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: He originally had rounded ears, but ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' gave him pointed ears, which was transferred to the show itself afterwards. Both ''The Powerpuff Girls Rule'' and the 2016 series would later restore his round ears. |
| 107 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: In Mr. Mojo's Rising, he gained all the Powerful Girls' strength and powers and punched all 3 of them down on the ground with such extreme force. Also, in the movie, he became a giant gorilla who stomped on Buttercup, right before he got both Bubbles and Blossom down on the ground with one punch at the same time. |
| 108 | * EnemyMine: In ''Forced Kin'', he teamed up with the Girls to defeat a giant overlord. He does this a lot more often in the reboot. |
| 109 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: In "A Very Special Blossom", he spends his Father's Day not committing crimes, but saluting his deceased father. |
| 110 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
| 111 | ** Mojo truly loved Moko and was crushed when finding out that she was just a regular chimp. |
| 112 | ** He also appears to have some fatherly love for the Rowdyruff Boys. |
| 113 | ** In "A Very Special Blossom", he is shown making a model ship in honor of his father. In fact, his earlier rampage in that episode was because a store owner lacked the supplies he needed for his ship. |
| 114 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 115 | ** He was fairly and understandably angry when the Powerpuff Girls beat him up when he was simply sleeping. Even more, when he found out that the Gangreen Gang had incriminated not only himself but also HIM and Fuzzy, [[ItAmusedMe just for the fun of it]]. He teamed up with the other villains to teach them a lesson. |
| 116 | ** "Telephonies" shows him calling HIM "sir", showing [[TheDreaded that even he's aware of how dangerous he is]]. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn This seems to have been dropped in the later episodes]]. |
| 117 | ** Mojo was also disgusted with Buttercup's idea of beating him and other villains up for money, apparently seeing it as too brutish. |
| 118 | ** When Mojo once traveled back in time to stop the existence of the Powerpuff Girls, he got to see just what a brat Professor Utonium was in his younger days. He did not like what he saw. |
| 119 | ** In the movie, when his ape army starts to turn on him with their own plans, he's pretty weirded out and outright disgusted at some of them, finding their plans crass and lacking class. |
| 120 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Not as much as with HIM, but still a factor in the demise of some of Mojo's schemes. He manipulates some of the Powerpuff Girls' classmates into defeating them by giving them Chemical X, but does not consider that they [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone would regret it]] and revive the girls. Similarly, when Mojo infiltrates the girls' slumber party and douses them with Antidote X, removing their powers, he rants about how the other girls are too weak and powerless to do anything about it, never considering the other girls would fight back the best they could. |
| 121 | * EvilCounterpart: To Professor Utonium. Both are men of science, but Mojo has a destructive personality. What truly cements him as this is when he created the Rowdyruff Boys, who are also {{EvilCounterpart}}s to the girls. |
| 122 | * EvilGenius: His superpowered brain has resulted in many high-tech weapons used to fight the girls. Even further, he's the only one aware he's in a cartoon as he once kidnapped the narrator and took his place and complained about getting no respect after six seasons on the show. |
| 123 | * EvilHero: |
| 124 | ** [[spoiler:Despite being a criminal, he is still the one who made the world a better place full of peace, harmony and erased all the problems in it]]. |
| 125 | ** He has also saved the day 5 times (once beating up a giant evil alien, twice for helping to create the Powerpuff Girls, once for beating up the Gangreen Gang, and once for giving the girls their baseball back). Do note that he never ''wanted'' to be considered a hero though. |
| 126 | %%* EvilIsHammy: See LargeHam down below. |
| 127 | * EvilIsPetty: Despite his much loftier ambitions, he can't resist indulging in small-time or petty behavior: |
| 128 | ** In "A Very Special Blossom," he goes on a rampage and destroys an entire city block simply because the hobby store didn't have the parts he needed to complete a ship-in-a-bottle. |
| 129 | ** In "Pee Pee Gs," the Girls have been waking up every morning to find their bed wet, but they can't tell which of them did it. It ultimately turns out Mojo had been sneaking in and soaking their bed with a water bottle at night. When the Girls finally catch him in the act, they accuse him of doing this to destabilize their teamwork and facilitate his schemes. Nope; Mojo freely admits it was all a prank, done simply because he doesn't like them. |
| 130 | * EvilLaugh: He usually delivers an awesome one during a plan. |
| 131 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: He's the main villain of the show who talks in a raspy voice. |
| 132 | * ExploitingTheFourthWall: Kidnapped the narrator in ''Simian Says'' and took his place, using the position to force the Powerpuff Girls to do his bidding. |
| 133 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 134 | ** Like ComicBook/DoctorDoom, he's a green-colored EvilGenius [[spoiler:with a past connection with the protagonists]], and his reason for world domination is [[spoiler:that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans]]. In fact, the entire series finale could be considered a sort of homage to the graphic novel ''Emperor Doom'', where [[spoiler:a victorious Doom similarly gives up world domination because VictoryIsBoring]]. |
| 135 | ** He could also be considered one to Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. He's a classic MadScientist, who acts buffoonish on occasions and often engages in building complex machinery, such as giant robots, hi-tech weapons, and artificial beings, and is also both a FriendlyEnemy of the hero, who occasionally join forces with them against larger threats, and views them as a WorthyOpponent. His volcano observatory also looks strikingly similar to Robotnik's fortress in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. |
| 136 | ** More than anything, he's one of Dr. Gori from the obscure {{Tokusatsu}} show ''Series/{{Spectreman}}''. A green-skinned simian super-genius prone to ranting to himself. |
| 137 | * FangsAreEvil: All of his teeth are fangs. A case of ArtEvolution, as he had square teeth in earlier seasons that only turned to fangs when he was being evil. |
| 138 | * FatalFlaw: He appears to have an inability to admit that he's wrong. |
| 139 | * {{Flanderization}}: While he did have his goofy moments in the original series, Mojo Jojo was still one of the girls' most powerful and dangerous villains, nearly taking over the world on more than one occasion. In the reboot, not only does he stop doing his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment hilariously long, repetitive rants]], he suffers extreme BadassDecay and VillainDecay, turning him into little more than a ButtMonkey (no pun intended) and a HarmlessVillain who is merely treated like a nuisance rather than a real threat, and is more willing to do {{Enemy Mine}}s with the girls, whereas in the original show, he only sided with the girls once because a greater evil was plotting to take over the world. |
| 140 | * FourthWallObserver: Thanks to his massive brain and intellect, he's the only character in the show that's aware of his existence in a cartoon. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou He's attacked the narrator at least twice]], and in "Custody Battle", Mojo compares being reduced to nothing by being thrown into the sun to having no respect on the show after six seasons. |
| 141 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: |
| 142 | ** In "Monkey See, Doggie Do", he managed to turn ''the Narrator'' into a dog. And this was in the ''first'' episode, no less. |
| 143 | ** A more prominent example is "Simian Says", where he '''''kidnaps the Narrator and takes over his job''''' so he can control the girls' actions and turn them evil. |
| 144 | * FriendlyEnemy: To the Powerpuff Girls. He respects them as rivals, and it is hinted that he might care about them in his own strange way. |
| 145 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: In two ways. He was originally just Professor Utonium's lab assistant, constantly wrecking and destroying the lab, but after starting the accident which made the Powerpuff Girls, he gained an incredibly high IQ, had the girls create his lab through trickery, and has since established himself as the ArchEnemy of the girls. And in between his rise to evil and leaving the Professor, he was a homeless chimp (even calling himself the 'hobo known as Jojo') that was considered a freak. |
| 146 | * FurryReminder: As an UpliftedAnimal, he may be a civilized simian with a genius IQ level that rivals that of Professor Utonium, but there are a couple of times that show he's still a chimp at his core. |
| 147 | ** Getting repeatedly thwarted by The Powerpuff Girls in the episode "Rowdyruff Boys", he outright loses his temper in his prison cell out of blind rage as he lets out enraged realistic monkey shrieks as he's slamming the ground with his clenched fists, similar to how a gorilla would show aggression. There's even a suspended tire hung by rope in his cell, which is either something for him to swing on and/or venting out his frustrations. |
| 148 | ** He goes berserk once again in "Forced Kin" after the alien invader exceeded everything Mojo wanted to accomplish, he loses a grip on his anger as he briefly emits hooting sounds like an actual monkey as he even does the general movements of his primate species. |
| 149 | * GadgeteerGenius: He creates multiple gadgets without the use of much effort. |
| 150 | * GeniusBruiser: Mojo is capable of building complex machinery in mere days. He also once defeated an alien invasion singlehandedly using only his gloved hands and a stale loaf of bread and has trounced the Gangrene Gang with his bare hands and another time with a trash can lid. |
| 151 | * GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:"The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!" reveals that his true goal all along was to make the world a better place under his rule in a non-violent fashion. [[SubvertedTrope But then he gets bored of the peaceful utopia he created and returns to his truly evil ways.]]]] |
| 152 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: In "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!", [[spoiler:after he turns the world into a utopia, he switches to an all-white version of his usual ensemble]]. |
| 153 | * GreenAndMean: Has green skin. |
| 154 | * GrowlingGut: His stomach gurgled after eating a toxic pie in "Octi Gone". |
| 155 | * HeadBlast: In "Mr. Mojo's Rising", Mojo tricks the professor into granting him superpowers identical to the girls. However, Mojo also gets the ability to fire a powerful beam of energy from his exposed brain, a power none of the girls has. |
| 156 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 157 | ** "Child Fearing" reveals that he enjoys cooking and is a pretty good Hibachi chef. Too bad the girls don't like that kind of food. |
| 158 | ** He also likes classical music as he falls asleep listening to it in "Telephonies". |
| 159 | ** "A Very Special Blossom" reveals he enjoys building model ships as a hobby. He builds one in honor of his father on Father's Day. |
| 160 | * HonorAmongThieves: In ''Cootie Grass'', he saved a bunch of criminals from the Powerpuff Girls, and then worked with them. |
| 161 | * HotBlooded: He has a burning passion for ruling the world and keeps doing what he's doing, no matter how much the Powerpuff Girls put him through, and they put him through a hell of a lot. |
| 162 | * {{Hypocrite}}: While Mojo was understandable at being [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted by Princess]]'s LackOfEmpathy, he is in no position to judge her when he himself attempted to take over Townsville in the movie and he constantly brags about how evil he is. |
| 163 | * HypocriticalHumor: When Bubbles gets Amnesia and thinks she's Mojo Jojo, she talks in his manner of how he reiterates the same sentence over and over. Mojo claims that he doesn't talk like that and [[IResembleThatRemark rants in his typical manner]]. |
| 164 | -->'''Mojo:''' [[BlatantLies I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different. I do not reiterate, repeat, reinstate the same thing over and over again. I am clear, concise, to the point!]] |
| 165 | * IneffectualLoner: Played straight in "Meet the Beat-Alls" after splitting from the Beat-Alls when he meets Moko. However, for the most part, he's very capable on his own. |
| 166 | * {{Jerkass}}: He is a chimpanzee who loves to steal, destroy and attack for fun. |
| 167 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In "Forced Kin", he only helps the girls defeat the alien force because he wants to be the true ruler of Townsville. Even when he ends up defeating their leader and is cheered by everyone as a hero, [[CardCarryingVillain he tries complaining to them that he's supposed to be a villain.]] |
| 168 | * LargeHam: With his anime-style dialogue combined with his aggressive nature, Mojo is quite possibly the hammiest villain on the show. |
| 169 | * LaughablyEvil: He's the main antagonist of the series and his jumbled-up, repetitive form of speech and his multiple humorous moments make him one of the funniest characters in the series. |
| 170 | * LikableVillain: Very suave and polite as long as you do not bother him when he's being evil or make him angry. |
| 171 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: In "Bubblevicious", he keeps Bubbles as a hostage, because he wanted to hear her scream. |
| 172 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: Professor Utonium pointed out to Mojo, had he not pushed him as he was mixing the batch to create the perfect little girl, the Powerpuff Girls would never have been created. Meaning that Mojo Jojo is, on a strange technicality, the father of the girls. |
| 173 | * MaddenIntoMisanthropy: In the movie, it's shown that before his villainous days, he was living on the streets abandoned by society for being a 'freak' because apes are seen as lesser than humans. Since then, he's been determined to recreate the world into one where he is on top. |
| 174 | * MadnessMantra: He does this after the Professor says he created the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 175 | -->"It was me. It was me. It was me." |
| 176 | * MadScientist: Uses his intelligence to try to TakeOverTheWorld and/or destroy the Girls. |
| 177 | * MadeOfIron: The Girls do not hold back when fighting him despite the fact that he has no powers but he always gets back up. His brain is protruding from his skull, gets hit a lot, but never suffers for it. |
| 178 | * ManiacMonkeys: An AxCrazy ape who is the main villain of the series. |
| 179 | * ManipulativeBastard: He puts his brains to more use than just building machinery. |
| 180 | ** He tricks a group of kids who idolized the Powerpuff Girls into allowing him to grant them powers. Turned out the Chemical X was spiked with something that made them go DrunkWithPower and do anything to get more, including destroying the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 181 | ** Uses a sob story about "being oppressed" to take advantage of an extreme animal rights activist group and uses them as protection against the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 182 | ** Combined with SelfServingMemory but he persuades the professor to give him the Girl's powers after claiming he had abandoned Mojo to the streets after the Girl's creation. |
| 183 | ** Possibly at its apex in the movie as it's revealed that he suckered the Girls into ''building his entire lair'' and handing him Chemical X to mutate his ape army, all under the guise of making the world a better place. |
| 184 | * ManlyTears: In "The Powerpuff Girls Rule", when he's forced to quit trying to rule the world. |
| 185 | * MischiefMakingMonkey: When not being a villain, Mojo enjoys playing tricks on the girls. He did things like tricking them into thinking that they wet the bed because it amused him. |
| 186 | * MotorMouth: The whole jumbled anime-style dialogue is pretty much his M.O. |
| 187 | * ModestyTowel: Spends the whole episode, 'Los Dos Mojos' in one after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Bubbles steals his clothes while he's in the shower]]. |
| 188 | * MyBrainIsBig: The page image. You know why he always wears that white-and-purple helmet? The same Chemical X that gave him super-intelligence also cracked his skull and caused his brain to swell up out of it. [[PleaseKeepYourHatOn It's not pretty.]] |
| 189 | * NearVillainVictory: Has come dangerously close to defeating the girls on several occasions. In particular, in "Slumbering With The Enemy", he succeeds in infiltrating the girls' slumber party and dousing them with Antidote X, and is only defeated when the other girls avenge them. |
| 190 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: |
| 191 | ** He helped set off the FreakLabAccident that created the girls ("It was me...it was me..."), gave them their drive to fight crime, and his attempt to go back in time and kill the Professor inspired him to try and create them in the first place. Mojo just can't win (Despite the fact that he has in some episodes). |
| 192 | ** In "Powerprof." he kidnaps the girls thanks to Professor's own attempts to enforce [[NiceJobBreakingItHero super-strict safety on them]]. Sure, the Professor beats him black and blue thanks to a HeroicSecondWind, but he realizes that he's simply not built for the pain and stress that comes with heroism and ditches the super suit—to which the girls then turn to the agonized Mojo and praise him for convincing the Prof. to quit. [[SarcasmMode Good job, Mojo!]] |
| 193 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: The In-Between to Fuzzy's Nice and HIM's Mean. He's a CardCarryingVillain like HIM, but he has his standards, is quite [[AffablyEvil affable]], and has VillainRespect towards the girls. He's also a PunchClockVillain at times like Fuzzy, but his villainy keeps him from being a full-on AntiVillain like him. |
| 194 | * NobleDemon: He ''enjoys'' being evil, and does whatever he wants without giving a simple crap, but Mojo possesses support and loyalty to his allies, and his ape army, and keeps his word whenever they have a deal. He even once helped the Powerpuff Girls get rid of Professor Utonium on their team, even if he wasn't doing it for himself, but for them actually. |
| 195 | * NotMeThisTime: In "Los Dos Mojos", when Bubbles thinks she's Mojo due to a head injury, Blossom and Buttercup immediately accuse Mojo of being the one behind it. While he did give Bubbles the head injury, her thinking she was him wasn't part of his plan. |
| 196 | -->'''Blossom:''' What kind of evil have you bestowed upon our sister? |
| 197 | -->'''Mojo:''' You’ve got to be kidding. I’m wet. I’m naked. Your sister is wearing my clothes. And this is all part of some evil plot, TO RULE THE WORLD AS A SOGGY CHIMP IN MY BIRTHDAY SUIT?! |
| 198 | * NotSoStoic: He has his moments. |
| 199 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: "None of them will ever understand you as I can, for we are kindred spirits whose powers spring from the same source!" |
| 200 | * OneManArmy: In the movie, he gave every member of the Gangreen Gang a good beating. |
| 201 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: At the climax of the movie, he infuses himself with a massive amount of Chemical X, mutating himself into a gigantic monster with enough power to nearly defeat the girls. Undone when he's exposed to the antidote.]] |
| 202 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Feels this way about the Powerpuff Girls and ''all'' of Townsville. When the god-like alien shows up in ''Forced Kin'' and starts committing every evil deed Mojo wanted to do it culminates in the destruction of Townsville and Mojo ''flips out''. |
| 203 | * OnlySaneByComparison: As ridiculous as he seems, he's just as often the voice of reason if something extra stupid is happening. Shines through in ''Los Dos Mojos'' when Bubbles steals his clothes and identity, but he still gets blamed for what she does. Also, in ''Custody Battle'' where he seems to be the only one who gets why throwing the Earth into the Sun isn't evil, it's stupid. |
| 204 | * PaperThinDisguise: He doesn't have to make good disguises, because the citizens of Townsville are dumb enough to fall for them, despite the fact that he's really the only one out there who's a green-skinned chimpanzee with black fur and a Japanese accent. |
| 205 | * PerpetualFrowner: Not as extreme as most cases, but when he's not scheming or attacking someone his default expression is quite serious. More often than not, it makes him into TheComicallySerious. |
| 206 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: With his hi-tech guns, he's extremely powerful, and often goes at rampages. |
| 207 | * PointyEars: At first, his ears were more rounded and human-like during the early seasons. They eventually became a lot more sharper and edged out as the series progressed in the show's later seasons. |
| 208 | * PragmaticVillainy: He stops HIM from destroying the Earth. Not out of care for its inhabitants, but because it's ''stupid'' rather than evil. |
| 209 | * PrisonRape: Implied to have put on the receiving end of this in "Cootie Gras." |
| 210 | * PsychoForHire: You can get him to go with you on any plan if it means protecting his opportunity to TakeOverTheWorld, money, or whatever serves his interests. He's otherwise just doing whatever the hell he wants, and he ''does not'' like being called a hero. Several examples are when he saved the world from an overlord so he could be the ruler, and helped Princess Morbucks after she offered him a whole stack of cash. |
| 211 | * PunchClockVillain: He sees being evil as sort of a job or lifestyle. However, he has his days off when he's the most sane Townsville citizen. |
| 212 | * RealMenWearPink: In the 2016 series, Mojo Mojo is shown to like the color pink and enjoys putting on makeup, plus he owns a kitten tea set. He also has crossdressed several times, most of those times being of his own accord. |
| 213 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives HIM a big lecture about how destroying the world is not evil, but ''stupid''. Hell, hadn't he chewed him out good, HIM would have destroyed the world. |
| 214 | -->"Evil? How about stupid? Yes, thanks to your foolishness, we will be reduced to nothing. Nothing! Like the amount of intelligence inside your head. Nothing! [[MediumAwareness Like the amount of respect I get after six seasons on this show!]]" |
| 215 | * RedemptionPromotion: Twice. |
| 216 | * RhymingNames: Mojo Jojo is just one letter shy of being a RepetitiveName. |
| 217 | * {{Sadist}}: He has no qualms about violence, and when he does carry it out, he clearly enjoys it. |
| 218 | * SaveTheWorld: In the last episode, he makes the world into a utopia after he succeeds in getting the Key to the World. |
| 219 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In the episode "Meet the Beat-alls" when he discovers that Moko Jono is a chimp. |
| 220 | * SelfServingMemory: Weaves a sob story about being Utonium's beloved assistant Jojo who was cruelly kicked out once the girls were born. Only for his former master and himself to remember that Jojo was a vicious little monster who broke everything he could reach. |
| 221 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Coupled with his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment tendency to restate things several ways]] at high speed. |
| 222 | * ShadowArchetype: Like Blossom, he tends to be a pretty charismatic and level-headed leader, albeit with a few flaws, and like Professor Utonium, he's a brilliant scientist, and very funny. However, Mojo's purpose in life is to TakeOverTheWorld, and he uses his science as a means to that end. |
| 223 | * SlasherSmile: In the movie, after he got the Powerpuff Girls to jump in the Townsville Volcano. |
| 224 | * TheSociopath: Subverted. Like most sociopaths, he's a {{narcissist}}ic and charismatic megalomaniac, is incredibly aggressive and violent when things don't go his way, considers himself to be evil, is fully aware of his wickedness and what he is, and will take as long time as he can to destroy any obstacle that gets in his way. And has no problem ''committing murder'' if necessary. He's also an exceptional [[ManipulativeBastard manipulator]] when he sets his mind to it. That said, before his transformation, he was a regular animal, as Mojo gained sociopathic traits thanks to being exposed to the Chemical X and his tragic background, which is seen in more detail in TheMovie, and on more than one occasion he has shown redeemable traits. In many ways, Mojo is an interesting case of someone who acquired sociopathic/psychopathic traits thanks to his context, without possibly being so. |
| 225 | * SophisticatedAsHell: He speaks in a sophisticated manner, mixed with slang, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repeating the same thing in every different way possible]], hyperactive fast talking, and sometimes pointing out the obvious. |
| 226 | * StableTimeLoop: His going back into the past in an attempt to stop a younger Professor Utonium from creating the Powerpuff Girls [[NiceJobFixingItVillain has the girls stopping him be the reason why a bratty Utonium took up science to create them in the first place.]] The narrator even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Mojo having added ''another'' layer to helping CreateYourOwnHero. |
| 227 | * StartOfDarkness: While having the destructiveness of a villain, Mojo was otherwise an ordinary chimp and not a true villain until the Chemical X explosion. After that, he would become a villain proper. |
| 228 | * TheStoic: Depending on his mood. When he's not exactly in a good mood, he takes a cut away from his usually boisterous demeanor. |
| 229 | * StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Sometimes he's easily defeated when he is involved in physical combat, other times he can hold as own against the super-powered girls while only using his bare hands. |
| 230 | * SuperpowerLottery: [[spoiler:In the finale of the film, he grows to become at least {{Kaiju}} size with most of the [[SuperStrength advantages]], but also has [[LightningBruiser generally impressive speed]], the ability to use a thunder-clap, shooting his hair out like thorns, and ''fire breath''.]] |
| 231 | * SuperStrength: Even though his isn't as devastating than any of the 3 girls, he's definitely shown to actually use this power in small doses, whenever he's not using any form of gadgetry or machines for leveling Townsvile. It's understandable that he uses his increased intellect instead of brute force but he's far from incapable of doing both. He's knocked Bubbles unconscious in ''Los Dos Mojos'' by swinging a steel beam into the side of her head after being fed up with her imitating his mannerisms (she believed that she even ''was'' Mojo Jojo in case of context). He also gains the same strength that the girls have in ''Mr. Mojo's Rising'' after the Professor energized him with their power, he bludgeons the same Powerpuff Girls that usually curb-stomp him in episodes prior. Undoubtedly, his biggest demonstration of absurd strength is when he laid down a merciless beating by beating the tar out of the gigantic and towering alien invader in ''Forced Kin''. Mojo not only overpowered him with only his fists, but he also fiercely decked him on the head with a stale baguette so hard, '''it shattered to pieces''' as the sheer force of the blow caused him to fall the ground. He then immediately grabs and forcefully bends one of his ankles, causing the once terrifying and dominant invader to pound the ground in pained frustration like a punished child throwing a tantrum until he was forced to submit to the pissed off chimp by meekly admitting that ''he's'' the most evil and retreats. Seems like Chemical-X wasn't the only thing that increased his brainpower. |
| 232 | * SupervillainLair: Mojo lives in a large volcanic lair with an observatory on top of it. |
| 233 | * SupremeChef: He's a trained hibachi chef, and puts on a show when babysitting the girls. Unfortunately, they aren't fans of sushi. |
| 234 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Especially ''Mr. Mojo's Rising'', where it shows that he has annoying neighbours that don't respect his property. |
| 235 | * TakeOverTheWorld: His main goal along with destroying the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 236 | * ThatManIsDead: After revealing his true intentions to the girls in the movie. |
| 237 | -->The hobo fohmally known as Jojo is no mo'. From this day fowohd, I shall be known as MOJO JOJO! |
| 238 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Mojo talks like this in the reboot in place of his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitive rants]] from the original series. |
| 239 | * TokenEvilTeammate: To the Powerpuff Girls, in "Forced Kin". |
| 240 | * TopHeavyGuy: Mojo has very broad shoulders and muscular arms combined with a tiny waist and ridiculously stumpy legs. His second design further exaggerates this. |
| 241 | * TragicVillain: Though he was far from a saint in the beginning, Mojo was just a regular chimp at first and not a supervillain, and had no intention to ''kill'' Professor Utonium. However, the Chemical X incident gave him new emotions like envy and a possible InferioritySuperiorityComplex, that turned him into the ''[[AntiHero vengeful mad genius]]'' that he is today. |
| 242 | * TroublesomePet: Before becoming an UpliftedAnimal, he was Professor Utonium's pet monkey who frequently tore through his lab and smashed his inventions |
| 243 | * UnexplainedAccent: No one else in Townsville seems to have his accent and he was raised by the Professor, who has an American accent. |
| 244 | * UpliftedAnimal: He was an ordinary chimpanzee who grew hyper-intelligent after being exposed to Chemical X. |
| 245 | * VictoryIsBoring: in the 10th anniversary special, he actually succeeds in taking over the world ([[spoiler:and actually makes it a much better place]]), but becomes bored sitting at a desk all day with nothing much to do, so he goes back to being a super-villain. |
| 246 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: In TheMovie, as well in Seasons 5 and 6. |
| 247 | * VillainousBreakdown: A few times Mojo's been seen being pushed over the edge. In these instances, he completely regresses into a violent wild animal, screeching and trashing everything he can. |
| 248 | * VillainousBSOD: Mojo was quite shocked to realize that, technically, he had a hand in creating the Powerpuff Girls in the first place. He was so shocked that he didn't even budge when the girls [[ItMakesSenseInContext got their powers back from him]]. |
| 249 | --> ''[[MadnessMantra "It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me."]] |
| 250 | * VillainousCrossdresser: In "Slumbering With the Enemy", he attends the girls' slumber party as a girl. The Powerpuff Girls, naturally, treated the situation with hostility towards him, but once they see that he isn't doing bad things to anyone, it becomes GoKartingWithBowser. Once everyone goes to sleep, however, Mojo sets on his real mission: to get the [[PowerNullifier Antidote X]]. |
| 251 | * VillainousFriendship: With HIM and Fuzzy. |
| 252 | * VillainProtagonist: There are a couple of episodes that are completely focused on him, such as "Just Another Maniac Mojo". |
| 253 | * VillainRespect: Towards the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 254 | * VillainsNeverLie: {{Averted}}. He lied to the girls to get them to help him with his plan in the movie. He's otherwise very honest about being evil. |
| 255 | * VillainsOutShopping: Literally. It's shown in more than one episode that he actually buys groceries legally. He's also shown to enjoy cooking. |
| 256 | * WeCanRuleTogether: "All we have to do is work together. Girls, join me!" |
| 257 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:In wanting to rule the world, at least. Then he gets bored and becomes a criminal again.]] |
| 258 | * WildCard: Despite being the archenemy of the Powerpuff Girls, he teamed up with The Powerpuff Girls once, and he did a HeelFaceTurn and helps the City of Townsville by making it a better place with nothing but peace... And then going crazy because of too much peace, and decided to destroy it. |
| 259 | * TheWorfEffect: He is often seen losing to show how strong the girls are, but he's also very strong himself and has defeated them at least twice. |
| 260 | * WouldHurtAChild: Not actively, but anyone who gets in his way is fair game, regardless of their age, strength, and whatnot. Besides the Powerpuff Girls being his enemies that he tries to destroy constantly, there's also that one time he tried to throw a young Utonium into a volcano out of spite regardless of the ramifications this had on the timeline. |

| 263 | [[folder:HIM]] |
| 264 | [[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerpuff_girls_character_him_9.png]] |
| 265 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomKane |
| 266 | |
| 267 | A mysterious, effeminate (apparently androgynous), and immortal caricature of {{Satan}}. He is the ultimate embodiment of evil, and talks in a chilling voice that echoes at all times as if in a cave; the voice itself can vary from a high-pitched, effeminate falsetto voice, to a deep, roaring demonic voice. He is also the Girls' most dangerous foe as well as the hardest villain to defeat. He's one of the girls' main enemies but in particular an enemy for Bubbles. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AffablyEvil: He switches between FauxAffablyEvil and this depending on the episode. When he isn't the enemy of the episode, he's surprisingly polite and owns a diner with delicious, if a bit overpriced, flapjacks. Main example: in "Telephonies," the girls broke into his house as he was jazzercising and he chatted rather affably with them. |
| 270 | * AgentPeacock: His slim build, feminine clothing, high-pitched voice, and love of things like pampering himself in the tub and doing Jazzercise suggest that he's a silly, lighthearted villain. ''He isn't.'' |
| 271 | * AsLongAsThereIsEvil: He is never actually fully defeated, but always comes back so long as there is an opportunity to corrupt someone. Of course, being a demon, this is to be expected. |
| 272 | * AmbiguousGender: There's been a lot of confusion about what gender HIM really is. However, he is most likely unisex if anything. |
| 273 | ** The narrator, during the 2009 marathon leading up to the premiere of "Powerpuff Girls Rule!", lampshaded this, and eventually settled on calling him "HERM". |
| 274 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He wears a lot of feminine clothing and speaks in an effeminate voice (at least until he gets angry). To say nothing of the episode 'Custody Battle' where he and Mojo Jojo argue over who would be a better parent to the Rowdyruff Boys. The episode ends with the two of them embracing on a hill and watching the boys fly into the sunset. |
| 275 | * AnimationBump: Him's mouth and lip movements are usually at a much higher framerate than the show typically showcases, giving his inevitable BreakingSpeech an [[UncannyValley uncanny]] boost. |
| 276 | * TheBadGuyWins: |
| 277 | ** In "Speed Demon", we're shown [[BadFuture what would happen if he did]]. It's not pretty! |
| 278 | ** In "Him Diddle Riddle", the girls fail to stop him from making Professor Utonium pay [[spoiler:for his pancakes]], though he ends up being insulted by the Professor [[spoiler:and loses him as a customer.]] |
| 279 | * BadassBiker: HIM rode a motorcycle in ''The Powerpuff Girls Rule''. |
| 280 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a goatee just like the pop-cultural depiction of Satan. |
| 281 | * BerserkButton: ''Never'' interrupt him while he's exercising. When it happens to him in "Telephonies", he's absolutely furious, as demonstrated by an angry phone call he makes to Mojo and Fuzzy, and later by the way he interacts with the Gangreen Gang, whose prank calls were responsible for the interruption. The only reason he didn't get angry at the Powerpuff Girls—who were the ones who actually interrupted him—was because he quickly cottoned on that they'd been tricked. |
| 282 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite all his comical attributes, he's the girls' most dangerous and vile enemy who consistently comes close to victory with his plans. And then there's the BadFuture we see where [[TheBadGuyWins he's won]]... |
| 283 | ** If HIM really desires, he can twirl his claw and throw planet Earth into the sun or pull Saturn into a collision course with the Earth. His sheer joy in trying to emotionally torment the girls or other victims of Townsville are the only reason he hasn't done this yet. Which can easily imply that if he is ever truly bored, he'll end existence on a whim. |
| 284 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Mojo Jojo. While Mojo is the girls' ArchEnemy, HIM is the most formidable and powerful villain of the main cast. |
| 285 | * BigNo: Highly prone to giving these when he chooses to act hammy. |
| 286 | * BigRedDevil: He's red, a demon, and can change his size to become huge (and even his form when he's at his most powerful). |
| 287 | * TheCorrupter: HIM could basically do anything he wants, but chooses schemes that will bring the girls, and especially Bubbles, away from their purity. |
| 288 | * CreepyCentipedes: Crossed with ScaryScorpions when he transformed into a centipede/scorpion hybrid in "Power-Noia". |
| 289 | * CreepyCrossdresser: He's incredibly frightening both in-universe and out most of the time and wears a dress. |
| 290 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Has a very effeminate-sounding voice, fitting for his status as a SissyVillain. Although the [[VoiceOfTheLegion reverb effect]] in his voice is one of the things that actually make him [[KnightOfCerebus legitimately scary]]. |
| 291 | * DisproportionateRetribution: In "Telephonies" he worked with Mojo and Fuzzy to beat up the Gangreen Gang after the girls are tricked into breaking into his home. Unlike Mojo and Fuzzy, however, the girls didn't actually hit him, all they did was break in (although they did destroy the roof of his home...). |
| 292 | * TheDreaded: Not only are the girls more frightened of him than of the other villains, but even Mojo is afraid of him... at first. Even the narrator’s terrified of him when he makes his debut. |
| 293 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Implied by "Speed Demon", where the BadFuture ruled by Him is very much this. |
| 294 | * EmotionEater: Hatred and despair make him stronger. |
| 295 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In "Octi Evil," his manipulative nature is shown as he manipulates the girls into fighting amongst one another. He will be doing this throughout the series. |
| 296 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He got reasonably angered when the Gangreen Gang prank-called the Powerpuff Girls to break the roof of his home, and when Buttercup beats him and other villains up for money. He teamed up with the other villains to give both her and them a lesson. |
| 297 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: As the Narrator states, everyone calls the villain "Him" because he is so absolutely evil, his real name strikes fear in the hearts of everyone. In the original script, he was even ''explicitly'' named "Satan" and "The Devil", though these names were later removed to avoid offending audiences. In an interesting twist, the censorship makes HIM ''even scarier'' rather than less, by making HIM InexplicablyAwesome the staff turned HIM into TheSpook. |
| 298 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: The main reason his plans usually fail. Every time he creates a situation to exploit something like the Girls' anger or fear, he's shocked at how sisterly love helps them overcome it. |
| 299 | * EvilerThanThou: All other villains show Him great fear and reverence. When calling Mojo, the latter jumps to his feet and refers to Him as "sir." |
| 300 | * EvilIsHammy: A satan-like character who speaks with a hammy tone of voice. |
| 301 | * EvilIsPetty: Him could win at any given time, but simply seeks to inconvenience the girls. |
| 302 | ** The episode "Him Diddle Riddle" shows him threatening the Girls that the Professor will "pay" if they don't solve his riddles. In the end, [[spoiler:it turns out the Professor would only have to pay HIM money for his breakfast.]] |
| 303 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Sometimes. His voice fluctuates between a girlish falsetto and a deep, reverberating growl, making him all the more unsettling. |
| 304 | * ExactWords: In one episode, HIM stated that if the Professor lost his bet, he would pay. [[spoiler:For breakfast, that is.]] |
| 305 | * {{Expy}}: [[invoked]] WordOfGod says he's based on the Blue Meanies from ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''. |
| 306 | * FlamingDevil: Very camp demon. |
| 307 | * FauxAffablyEvil: The fact that he can be so casual about manipulating three kindergarten girls (or their older teen sister) makes him this. He also constantly switches from speaking with a high-pitched voice and being sympathetic and kind, to a low and creepy growl and being demanding and malicious. |
| 308 | * ForTheEvulz: The only reason He does anything. He could end the world on a whim if he wanted to and has demonstrated it by sending the planet hurtling into the Sun by the wave of his hand. |
| 309 | * GodOfEvil: Implied to be either this or a ''very'' powerful demon. Even Princess has referred to Him as the "Ultimate Evil". |
| 310 | * GoodHurtsEvil: In one episode, he griped that the love other people had for the Girls prevented him from destroying them completely, suggesting that positive emotions are harmful to him. Unfortunately, he finds a way around this by ''removing'' that love and replacing it with hate. |
| 311 | * HatePlague: In one episode, he turns the townspeople's love for the Girls into hatred. At first, the citizens are just cranky and short-tempered with them, but before long, everyone--from the Mayor to Miss Bellum to even the Professor--is ready to outright kill them in a brutal fashion. |
| 312 | * HonorAmongThieves: Despite being truly evil and insane, HIM respects other villains, and may help them come up with ideas for their evil plans. He even formed a rock band with all the other Townsville villains. Averted in the 2016 series, where Him just cares about causing chaos and doesn't care whether his victims are good guys or bad guys. |
| 313 | * HumanoidAbomination: He looks human (with red skin and lobster claws) but has godlike powers |
| 314 | * IdiotBall: InUniverse. In a demonstration of how evil he is, Him knocked the Earth out of its orbit, heading straight for the sun. Mojo Jojo went on a rant about how [[StupidEvil stupid]] that was since Him will be destroyed along with everyone else. This gets subverted during the actual rant, as Him, not taking his eyes off Mojo, raises his hand in a stopping motion towards the sun, ''and it moves away''. Or, the Earth moved back, it's all a matter of perspective. |
| 315 | * InvisibleMeansUndodgeable: The Girls go toe to toe with him whenever he uses projectiles and beams. However, the moment he changes to his invisible Thought-Controlled Power, they're helpless. |
| 316 | * {{Jerkass}}: Zig-zagged, to an extent; he's very much this when he's the main villain of an episode, but he's much more LaughablyEvil otherwise. |
| 317 | * KarmaHoudini: This is most likely the result of his god-like power level, with Him being essentially the Powerpuff Girls universe's equivalent of {{Satan}}. The most the girls can really hope to accomplish is simply to stop whatever he tries to do—actually making him face any sort of punishment is near impossible. |
| 318 | ** Although there have been some aversions to this, the most noticeable example is in "Meet the Beat-Alls" where he along with Princess and Fuzzy were thrown in jail. |
| 319 | * KnightOfCerebus: Evil enough to overshadow even Mojo's most nefarious schemes. |
| 320 | ** Especially in "Speed Demon", one of the scariest and darkest episodes in the entire series. His battles are much more psychological and aim to show how the Girls aren't so pure. |
| 321 | ** Notably subverts this in episodes where he isn't the main villain, such as "Telephonies". |
| 322 | ** In the 2016 reboot of the series, HIM is devastating with many very well-designed ploys, tricks, and traps that nearly kill the girls. He's played fairly close to the HIM of the main series, and has some very nasty surprises up his sleeve, including being able to actually absorb the Powerpuff Girls and throw Saturn into the Planet Earth like a buzzsaw. Compared to the villains of that show, HIM is really nasty in that version. |
| 323 | * LargeHam: A natural result of his [[VoiceOfTheLegion voice]] and focus on psychologically breaking the Girls. |
| 324 | * LaughablyEvil: He's just as amusing as the other villains in terms of comedy. Averted (mostly) in the earlier seasons where he is played completely straight. |
| 325 | * LeanAndMean: Definitely not mean, nor kindhearted, but instead he is [[{{Main/Satan}} pretty ruthless]]. |
| 326 | * ManipulativeBastard: Often succeeds by fooling with people's naivete, especially Bubbles—he's used her as an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom at least twice. |
| 327 | * MoodSwinger: Tends to snap wildly between a creepy, deceptively sweet cheerfulness and a just as creepy snarling rage mid-sentence, often several times a sentence. |
| 328 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Both heroes, villains, and everyone in between recognize him with some dread and/or ire. The reason for the name "HIM" is because his [unspoken] real name is considered ''far worse''. |
| 329 | * NaturalWeapon: His pincers. He also can apparently breathe fire, as seen in "Telephonies." |
| 330 | * NeverRecycleYourSchemes: He even admits in an episode that he "Never does repeat performances.". Reusing other villains' plots however is apparently fair game to him, as shown when he resurrected the Rowdyruff Boys. |
| 331 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Mean to Fuzzy's Nice and Mojo's In-Between. He's a sadistic demon who ''loves'' to torment everyone, and is the girls' most dangerous and powerful antagonists. |
| 332 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He has a [[VoiceOfTheLegion demonic, echoed voice]], and is an evil, terrifying demon. |
| 333 | * NotMeThisTime: In one episode, the Gangreen Gang makes crank calls to the Powerpuff Girls while impersonating the Mayor, telling them that various villains are doing evil deeds. One of those villains is Him, and when the Powerpuff Girls ask him if he was doing anything evil today, he says not ''today'', because today he needs to Jazz-ercise and get in shape. |
| 334 | * OneWingedAngel: In a BadFuture where [[TheBadGuyWins he conquered Townsville]] (at least we hope it was just Townsville), he eventually turns into a giant demonic monster. He also performs this in "Power-Noia", where he turns into an insect-like monster embodying the Girl's fears. He does it once again in the 2016 series after the girls free Bliss from his possession, the chaos she caused while she was possessed being enough to allow him to assume a form similar to the one he assumed in "Speed Demon" (and he later gives himself three heads as well). |
| 335 | * OutsideContextProblem: Part of what sets him apart from all of the Powerpuff Girls' other foes is that, while all the rest typically rely on technological means or their inherent biology to battle the girls, Him is the only recurring enemy whose abilities are outright supernatural in nature. |
| 336 | * PetTheDog: |
| 337 | ** In "Telephonies", where the Girls broke through his ceiling while he was exercising, Him talks very affably with them and assures them that he's taking some time off. After they leave, it's revealed that he was angry about their intrusion but didn't show it to them, likely realizing something was amiss. |
| 338 | ** In "Custody Battle", he seems to really care about the Rowdyruff Boys. In his own twisted way, at least. |
| 339 | * PerpetualSmiler: Has a SlasherSmile plastered on his face most of the time, and constantly speaks in a cheery tone of voice. |
| 340 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He's the most powerful villain. Even the Girls have trouble keeping up with him. |
| 341 | * PowerEchoes: His voice reverberates and echoes eerily. |
| 342 | * RealityWarper: He can create and destroy on a whim. |
| 343 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He wears a red lady's jacket and skirt, has red skin and lobster-like claws, wears a black belt and thigh-high boots, has a black beard and hair, and has black lipstick on his lips. |
| 344 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: He was seemingly vaporized in most of his appearances and suffered a DisneyVillainDeath into a bottomless pit in at least one other episode, but he always comes back. |
| 345 | * RiddleForTheAges: Just what ''is'' his actual name? |
| 346 | * {{Sadist}}: He enjoys torturing his victims psychologically. |
| 347 | * SatanicArchetype: He's basically the show's version of the devil. Averted in the original script, however, where he actually ''was'' Satan. |
| 348 | * TheScottishTrope: |
| 349 | ** In His introductory episode, the Narrator states that "Him" is the only designation that is safe to describe Him with. According to Tom Kane, saying his real name [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clrGmxA9qgc causes you to explode]]. |
| 350 | ** Another source has stated knowing his true name will cause you to GoMadFromTheRevelation. So either way, Him IS the only safe way to refer to him. |
| 351 | * ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: Adding to his creepiness, HIM switches from sugar-sweet effeminate giggling to a very deep, menacing voice in very sudden and unpredictable ways. |
| 352 | * SissyVillain: Currently provides the trope image, and for good reason—he's as much of a FlamingDevil as one can get away with in a kids' show. Effeminate voice? Check (usually). Effeminate clothing? Check (see image). Mannerisms? Check. Thrives on possession and psychological torture? '''Check.''' |
| 353 | * SlasherSmile: With deadly fangs when he goes into a nightmarish creepy mode. |
| 354 | * TheSociopath: He certainly is. Despite being an evil entity that is possibly MadeOfEvil, he is cold, calculating, Machiavellian, embodies much more hate and evil than the rest of the recurring villains of the show (''even more than Morbucks''), is an [[ManipulativeBastard exceptional manipulator]], has enough charm to manipulate girls into mind games, and what's worse, he doesn't have an excuse for his actions. [[ForTheEvulz He just does what he does because he enjoys it]]. And while he does seem to care about the Rowdyruff Boys, he does so in his own twisted way and the emotions he's displayed are very short-lived, which is very common in sociopaths. |
| 355 | * SoftSpokenSadist: His specialty is that he torments the girls with a soft, but nightmarish voice. |
| 356 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Especially in the earlier seasons. He's basically the devil on a kids' show. |
| 357 | * VillainousCrossdresser: Wears feminine clothing and is the manifestation of pure evil. |
| 358 | * VillainousFriendship: With Mojo Jojo and Fuzzy, and at one point Princess. |
| 359 | * VocalEvolution: Him loses the iconic echo in his voice in the reboot. |
| 360 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: When happy, his voice is an echoed, delighted, high-pitched sort. When angry, it switches to a bellowing and violent form, sometimes blending with the voices of other characters he takes the form of. |
| 361 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Him is truly frightening when he actually gets pissed. |

| 368 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} |
| 369 | |
| 370 | A large, husky, furry, pink, and bear-like hillbilly monster with a wide jaw, a green nose, two antennae on his head, bib blue overalls, and brown countryman shoes. He talks with a Southern accent, and will shoot anything he finds trespassing on his property, but is otherwise harmless. He lives in the woods next to the city of Townsville. He is also prone to destructive fits of rage, during which he gains enough physical strength to overpower (and sometimes intimidate) the girls, meaning they must outsmart him to beat him. |
| 371 | ---- |
| 372 | * AmbiguousSpecies: While most of the villains in the show are mutated animals (Mojo Jojo), demonic abominations (HIM) regular humans that use specialized gadgets (Princess Morbucks), or humans with supernatural powers (the Gangreen Gang and Sedusa), Fuzzy is... a strange creature. He resembles a large pink bear, but has a giant green nose and alien-like antennas, which throws his species into question. "Shotgun Wedding" even focuses on the Professor trying to find out what he's even supposed to be. As far as the show goes, he's a "Lumpkin". |
| 373 | * AntiVillain: |
| 374 | ** He's very dangerous to ordinary folk, but generally he'll leave you alone if you leave him alone, unless he's manipulated by other villains or wanders into the city by mistake. |
| 375 | ** This is averted in later seasons when he's a flat-out villain who goes out of his way to commit crimes. Even the movie prequel depicts him robbing a bank with a sinister grin on his face. |
| 376 | * ArtEvolution: |
| 377 | ** In "Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins", Fuzzy was notably taller and had more human-like proportions compared to the more ball-shaped body he would take on in the show. |
| 378 | ** Fuzzy's eyes are spaced apart in the reboot. |
| 379 | * BerserkButton: |
| 380 | ** Don't mess with his property! Even if it's just passing close to it he'll lose his temper in an instant. |
| 381 | ** On a related note, you should never trespass on his land or else he'll hunt you down for it. |
| 382 | * BizarreTasteInFood: In the initial pilot, he made a batch of meat jam, which he thought was a shoo-in to win a jam contest. He didn't take it well when the Powerpuff Girls chose another jam as the winner. |
| 383 | * ButtMonkey: Especially when he's the main antagonist of an episode. |
| 384 | * TheBrute: Relies solely on his brute strength. And he's pretty strong. |
| 385 | * TheChewToy: Of all the villains on the show, he has to be the one who gets the most physical put-downs. |
| 386 | ** Deconstructed in "Makes Zen To Me", where Buttercup's violent beatdown on him leaves Fuzzy badly injured, including being unable to think, eat, or even speak right. ''Yowch.'' |
| 387 | * CartoonCreature: There's actually one episode where Utonium tries to investigate him as though he were a cryptid or rare animal in an attempt to figure out just what he is. |
| 388 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Stay '''away''' from my '''property!'''" |
| 389 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the pilot, he was something of a SouthernFriedGenius who invented a gun that turned things into meat, in addition to having an overall calm demeanor. In the rest of the show, he's an anti-social hick who [[BerserkButton goes ballistic]] when you touch his stuff and can't invent a glass of water to save his life. |
| 390 | * CompanionCube: Has a banjo named, Joe. |
| 391 | * DisproportionateRetribution: If you dare annoy him in any way he ''will'' brutalize you for it, and god help if you dare touch his stuff. |
| 392 | * TheDitz: What he lacks in brains, [[DumbMuscle he makes up for in brawn]]. |
| 393 | * DumbMuscle: Extremely stupid, but can hold off against the girls. |
| 394 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As shown in "Roughing It Up", he deeply loves his nephews Wuzzy, Cuzzy, and Scuzzy. |
| 395 | * FatBastard: He's sort of husky and attacks people for touching his belongings. |
| 396 | * FatIdiot: A chubby guy who is [[DumbMuscle very strong and is as dumb-as-rocks]]. |
| 397 | * {{Foil}}: To Buttercup. They're both violent and temperamental brutes, but Buttercup [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold truly means well to others despite her tough exterior]] and knows when it's the right time to fight, whereas Fuzzy is an anti-social {{Jerkass}} who [[DisproportionateRetribution attacks others for the most minor of inconveniences]]. |
| 398 | * ForgottenPhlebotinum: His rage-powered SuperStrength is all but forgotten about after season 1. |
| 399 | * GreenAndMean: He has a large green nose and is a violent and destructive creature. |
| 400 | * HairTriggerTemper: He's violent and easily angered. In fact, he gets so angry at people for touching anything that he owns, that he pulls his shotgun and chases even the most harmless little animal. |
| 401 | * HalfWittedHillbilly: In addition to being an antisocial hillbilly, no one will accuse him of being a genius. |
| 402 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the initial pilot, after kicking his butt, Bubbles uses his own meat gun to turn him into a hamburger. He gets a SnapBack for the series proper, however. |
| 403 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's rude, violent, and obnoxious. |
| 404 | * LargeHam: When he's angry, he gets really loud. [[BerserkButton "Git owfa mah pro-per-TY!"]] |
| 405 | * LaserGuidedKarma: In his first proper episode he beat up people for alledgedly touching his property and even attacked those trying to help him out of petty anger; after he's beaten up and arrested his much larger cellmate [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine intimidates him out of his banjo]] and claims it as his own. |
| 406 | * LaughablyEvil: Most of his villainy and total disregard for human life comes from his short temper and extreme stupidity, which is always PlayedForLaughs. |
| 407 | * ManBitesMan: He bites Bubbles on the leg in "Fuzzy Logic". |
| 408 | * MayorPain: In the episode, ''Impeach Fuzz'', where he runs for Mayor; somehow managing to win temporarily putting the Mayor out of office. Despite never doing anything evil while in his position, he does redecorate the Mayor's office and exhausts the girls by calling them multiple times to do simple errands for him, which prompts them and Ms. Bellum to go find the Mayor. |
| 409 | * MysteriousPast: As Professor Utonium reveals in ''Shotgun Wedding'', unlike all the other major villains he has no idea of Fuzzy’s origins or what he is. |
| 410 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Nice to HIM's Mean and Mojo's In-Between. While he can be violent and destructive, his rampages are usually in response to people trespassing on his property or even just touching it, making him a full-on AntiVillain. |
| 411 | * PsychoPink: Fuzzy's got pink fur, but he usually won't be an issue... if you don't mess with his property, that is. |
| 412 | * PunchClockVillain: Like the other villains, Fuzzy is only bad when the plot calls for it. |
| 413 | * RealMenWearPink: In addition to his fur actually being pink, he was shown to enjoy wearing dresses in "Tiara Trouble". |
| 414 | * SoreLoser: In the initial pilot, he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, turning everything in Townsville into meat, [[DisproportionateRetribution just because he lost a jam contest]]. |
| 415 | * StarterVillain: He's the main antagonist of the initial pilot (well, the one after Whoopass Stew that is). |
| 416 | * TookALevelInDumbass: In "Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins", Fuzzy was able to make a shotgun that turned people and objects into meat. In the show itself, he's an anti-social jerk who fails to notice that the female "Lumpkin" is actually the Professor covered in mud. |
| 417 | * UnstoppableRage: Gained this trait in the early episodes of the series (not in the pilot) whenever he got angry. It eventually got phased out. |
| 418 | * VillainDecay: In "Fuzzy Logic", an enraged Fuzzy overwhelmed the girls with ease, and "Telephonies" showed them as being genuinely fearful of his anger after they were tricked into attacking him. In all his other appearances, he isn't nearly the physical threat he once was, and the girls treat him as no more of a threat than any of their other villains. |
| 419 | * WouldHitAGirl: In the episode "Fuzzy Logic," he punches out an old lady ''[[DisproportionateRetribution because she touched his hat.]]'' |
| 420 | * WouldHarmASenior: He attacks an old lady in his debut episode for touching his hat. |
| 421 | * YourSizeMayVary: In the pilot, Fuzzy was bigger and taller. |

| 424 | [[folder:The Gangreen Gang]] |
| 425 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gangreen_gang_group.png]] |
| 426 | [[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Snake, Grubber, Ace, Arturo, Billy.]] |
| 427 | ->'''Ace, Big Billy and Grubber voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett\ |
| 428 | '''Lil' Arturo and Snake voiced by''': Creator/TomKenny\ |
| 429 | '''Lil' Arturo (for "Buttercrush" and "Bang for Your Buck" voiced by''': Creator/CarlosAlazraqui |
| 430 | |
| 431 | A gang of teenaged hoodlums that are green-skinned and unhealthy looking (as if suffering from gangrene). They do not have powers, nor are they truly a threat in many ways, though they do make every effort to be as big a nuisance to the people of Townsville as possible. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | |
| 434 | [[AC:General]] |
| 435 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: In "Aspirations," Blossom outright describes them as a nuisance. They are actually quite dangerous in the sense that they are almost purely motivated by [[ForTheEvulz a love of committing crimes]], but at the same time, they're basically just hooligans and thugs, which puts them low on the totem pole in terms of actual threat level. |
| 436 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: As far as the show elaborates, they're ordinary, perfectly normal humans (except Big Billy) who just happen to be green. |
| 437 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: It's never specified if they're humanoid monsters or weird-looking teenage boys. Although in one episode that opens with Professor Utonium rattling off the nature of the PPG's foes (before realizing that he doesn't know anything about Fuzzy Lumpkins), he mentions that they have a skin condition. Considering [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene their namesake]], having a skin condition probably isn't the half of it. |
| 438 | * BigEater: The entire gang in the episode "Power Lunch" as they stuff their face with any food they can get their hands on at the gas station they choose to loot. |
| 439 | * {{The Bull|y}}ies: They constantly pick on the kindergartners at Pokey Oaks when the plot calls for it. |
| 440 | * BullyingADragon: In "Telephonies", they make prank calls with the Powerpuff Hotline, sending the girls against Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and HIM. Unfortunately for them, they didn't consider [[CurbStompBattle what would happen to them]] if said villains realized something must be wrong with the other end of said hotline. |
| 441 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Their debut episode "Buttercrush" starts with them bullying small children on a playground. This is what they will be doing in the majority of their appearances. |
| 442 | * EvilIsPetty: They're all just teenage hoodlums, and generally just cause nothing but mischief, like stealing food from a convenience store in "Power Lunch" and using the Powerpuff Hotline to make prank calls in "Telephonies." |
| 443 | * FauxAffablyEvil: In a few episodes, such as the one where they try to make Buttercup one of them and when they get sent to school. They behave like perfectly polite angels, particularly Ace. It is, of course, all an act. |
| 444 | * GangOfBullies: Bullies are probably the closest they could come across as being evil. |
| 445 | * GreenAndMean: There's a reason they're called The Gan''green'' Gang. |
| 446 | * GrowlingGut: They all got gut feelings in "Power Lunch". |
| 447 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: In "Aspirations" it turns out that the "reward" Sedusa promised them wasn't anything sexual like the viewer was led to believe. The boys just wanted a mother who could love them. |
| 448 | * {{Jerkass}}: All of them are mischievous delinquents causing trouble for the town. |
| 449 | * LaughablyEvil: You really can't take these guys too seriously as actual villains when their main enemies are superpowered artificial humans and they can't even do much more than vex them most of the time [[NotSoHarmlessVillain (with a few exceptions)]]. |
| 450 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "Aspirations" when they team up with Sedusa, who makes them much more formidable in exchange for some artifacts that'll [[spoiler:help regain her lost hair after it was cut off in her last encounter with the [=PPGs=]]]. However, once they bring her the artifacts and she becomes all-powerful, she kicks them to the curb. They tell the struggling Powerpuffs how to de-power her and get the last insult in by knocking Sedusa into a mud puddle when she comes begging for their help. |
| 451 | * NearVillainVictory: They almost succeed in defeating the Powerpuffs in "Power Lunch", until their powers wear off. |
| 452 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Despite being hopelessly outmatched and visionless, with enough manipulation they can genuinely endanger the girls like using their trust for Big Billy or Buttercup's crush on Ace to lure them into peril. They also know how to bend the rules to their advantage, and the one time they got superpowers they demonstrated that as far as intentions go, they are just as cruel and murderous as the other villains, just much less capable of acting on these impulses. |
| 453 | * OhCrap: The gang has this reaction in the episode "Telephonies" when Him, Mojo Jojo, and Fuzzy Lumpkins burst into the mayor's office to get their payback on them for the prank calls. |
| 454 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone, especially Grubber. Snake's real name was revealed to be Sanford D. Ingleberry, so it’s understandable. |
| 455 | * ThePrankster: They are the very definition of pranksters, particularly in "Telephonies" when the gang distracts the Mayor in order to sneak into his office to make prank calls to people. |
| 456 | * PunchClockVillain: When they aren't causing trouble, they tend to loiter around like teenagers usually do. |
| 457 | * SinisterSweetTooth: Stealing and eating a bunch of sweets from the store in "Power Lunch" certainly makes them count as one. Ace consumes slushie drinks and other frozen treats, Snake chews gum and other stretchy candy, Billy crunches on hard candy, Arturo loads up on coffee, and Grubber eats general junk food. |
| 458 | * StarterVillain: |
| 459 | ** In the movie, they are the first villains the audience sees—committing random crimes in the background to demonstrate that pre-Powerpuff Townsville is a CrapsackWorld—and later the first villains that the girls encounter and get bullied by. |
| 460 | ** Going back even further, they were the opponents the girls faced in the Whoopass Stew" intro, making them the first villains actually shown within the franchise. |
| 461 | * TeensAreMonsters: They are the only reoccurring teenage characters, and cause crime and destruction. |
| 462 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Aspirations", they manage to steal three Egyptian artifacts in high-security areas, while previous episodes had them be bumbling fools. And in "Power Lunch", they temporarily gain superpowers and almost defeat the girls. |
| 463 | * WouldHarmASenior: In the episode “Bang For Your Buck,” they (well mainly Big Billy) had no issues robbing and tossing an old lady for her money. |
| 464 | * WouldHurtAChild: They have harassed the children of the girls' kindergarten at least twice for their own amusement. |
| 465 | |
| 466 | [[AC: Ace]] |
| 467 | [[quoteright:252:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ace_transparent_image.png]] |
| 468 | [[caption-width-right:252:"Let's show them how to have fun... Gangreen Gang style!"]] |
| 469 | |
| 470 | * AnIcePerson: Ace briefly becomes one in "Power Lunch", as he suddenly gains ice powers akin to Blossom's. |
| 471 | * BenevolentBoss: Despite often punching Snake, Ace shows care and appreciation for the rest of the gang. He considers Grubber's advice, helps Arturo reach high places, and comforts Billy whenever he cries. |
| 472 | * BlatantLies: In "Buttercrush", he tries to convince the girls that one of his friends didn't know what they did was wrong and that he is sorry. And at the end of the episode, right after Buttercup realizes her sisters are in danger, Ace tries to pin the blame on the rest of the gang, claiming they put him up to it. Buttercup doesn't buy it that time. Cue epic ass-kicking. |
| 473 | * BrooklynRage: He's got a slight New York-inspired accent and is a dangerous foe. |
| 474 | * TheCharmer: Ace can be very charismatic when he wants to be. |
| 475 | * CoolShades: He always has on his sunglasses. |
| 476 | * {{Crossover}}: In 2018, Ace had a stint playing bass for the ''Music/{{Gorillaz}}'' as Murdoc, their usual green-skinned insane bassist, was in prison. |
| 477 | * DopeSlap: He gives a lot of these to Snake whenever the latter would either speak out of line or say something stupid. |
| 478 | * EyeGlasses: A sunglasses variant. They change its shape depending on Ace's facial expressions. |
| 479 | * FauxAffablyEvil: They all behave like this, but Ace is mostly the driving force of this, as he is usually the one who can sweet talk several citizens while still coming off as condescending and rather sinister, especially towards the children. |
| 480 | * FreezeSneeze: This happens to him in "Power Lunch" after he gained ice powers from the girls' heat vision. He starts shivering and sneezes out ice, freezing a trash can in front of him. |
| 481 | * HiddenDepths: Ace is so good a bassist, he was an official member of ''Music/{{Gorillaz}}'' for a period in 2018. |
| 482 | * TheLeader: He's the one who leads the gang and comes up with the plans. |
| 483 | * LeanAndMean: He's tall and slim and is especially very manipulative and cruel to innocent civilians, especially children. |
| 484 | * ManipulativeBastard: Ace has a talent to manipulate anyone to better him and the rest of his gang. He was this to Buttercup after he found out about her crush on him, and he used her infatuation against her to destroy her sisters. He also made Billy help him trap them into the railways of an approaching subway and knew how to make himself appear as unfairly victimized towards Ms. Keane. |
| 485 | * MeaningfulName: "Ace" means "highest rank," and he's the leader of the gang. |
| 486 | * SinisterShades: His shades only highlight his status as a manipulative delinquent who leads his gang to cause numerous acts of petty crimes. |
| 487 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He's rather tall for his age and doesn't look all bad, bar his green skin. |
| 488 | |
| 489 | [[AC: Snake]] |
| 490 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snake_22.png]] |
| 491 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Everyone callssss me Ssssssnake!"]] |
| 492 | |
| 493 | * ButtMonkey: He is constantly [[DopeSlap uppercutted]] by Ace. Even in "Buttercrush", Ace and Buttercup use him as a walking punching bag. |
| 494 | * CheatedAngle: He is only seen in 3/4 angle and sideways, never in the front. |
| 495 | * GagNose: Snake actually has a very large and pointy nose, which adds to his snake-like appearance. |
| 496 | * JerkassHasAPoint: In "Buttercrush", [[OnlySaneMan Snake]] tries to point out that Buttercup is not one of them, that she's a good guy and she can probably beat them up. This only results in a [[DopeSlap uppercut]] from Buttercup similar to Ace. |
| 497 | * LeanAndMean: To an even greater extent than Ace, which should be expected considering his namesake. |
| 498 | * NeverBareheaded: He's only seen in one episode without his kangol hat, which was because it was forcefully knocked off. |
| 499 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: We learn in "Schoolhouse Rocked" that his real name is Sanford D. Ingleberry. |
| 500 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: If his namesake is anything to go by. |
| 501 | * RubberMan: His superpower in "Power Lunch" is elasticity. |
| 502 | * SnakeTalk: Snake uses this when pronouncing his S's. |
| 503 | * SnakesAreSinister: Although the "sinister" part is mostly derived from the entire gang's affinity for petty crimes since he acts more as a yes-man to Ace. |
| 504 | |
| 505 | [[AC: Grubber]] |
| 506 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grubber.png]] |
| 507 | [[caption-width-right:350:"[[BlowingARaspberry Pfffffftttt!!]]"]] |
| 508 | |
| 509 | * BadBadActing: His impersonation of Buttercup in "Buttercrush", which even has the audience wondering how Bubbles and especially Blossom were fooled in the slightest. It's averted after this though. |
| 510 | * BlowingARaspberry: This is how he communicates, and somehow, Ace understands exactly what he's saying. |
| 511 | * BodyHorror: His hunchback appearance makes him look downright terrifying! |
| 512 | * BritishTeeth: Grubber has rather chipped and crooked teeth that are slightly yellow. Made even more meaningful when he once transformed into a normal human being (save the green skin) and spoke in a fluent British accent during the gang's visit in kindergarten. |
| 513 | * ElectiveUnintelligible: He deliberately communicates through raspberries, though he has shown to be able to perfectly imitate other peoples' voices as shown in "Telephonies." |
| 514 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: When the gang are sent to Pokey Oaks Kindergarten in "Schoolhouse Rocked" and their real names are being revealed, Miss Keane just calls him Grubber. |
| 515 | * EvilBrit: He's revealed to speak in a British accent when he transforms himself in "Schoolhouse Rocked." |
| 516 | * EyeScream: His eyeballs pop out of his sockets. |
| 517 | * {{Gonk}}: The ugliest member of the gang, and probably the ugliest villain of the whole series as well, what with his scruffy hair, BritishTeeth, protruding eyeballs, and hunchback physique. |
| 518 | * HiddenDepths: Grubber has been shown in a handful of episodes to display certain talents, such as mimicking other characters' voices and even playing the violin. He can also transform into his normal human form and speak fluently with a British accent when he speaks coherently. |
| 519 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Grubber may look gross and ''seem'' stupid, but he is reasonably intelligent enough to follow Ace's orders and be able to mimic voices. |
| 520 | * PerpetualSmiler: He almost always wears a creepy grin on his face, along with his tongue often hanging out his mouth. |
| 521 | * SuddenlyVoiced: In "Schoolhouse Rocked", when we learn he speaks in a fluent British accent. |
| 522 | * SuperScream: He gets supersonic belches as a superpower in “Power Lunch”. |
| 523 | * TheUnintelligible: He's the mute of the gang, although he was shown in "Schoolhouse Rocked" to transform into a normal human being (save the green skin) and talking in his normal voice with a British accent. |
| 524 | * VoiceChangeling: He can mimic other characters' voices impeccably, as shown during the gang's prank calls in "Telephonies." |
| 525 | |
| 526 | [[AC: Big Billy]] |
| 527 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bigbilly_9.png]] |
| 528 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Duh... Hi!"]] |
| 529 | |
| 530 | * AffablyEvil: He's easily the nicest member of the gang. In one episode, Big Billy is very friendly to the Girls when they save him. |
| 531 | * CantTakeCriticism: He certainly didn't take it well when Blossom finally called him out on his inadvertent destruction in an attempt at heroism. |
| 532 | * {{Cyclops}}: He reveals in "Schoolhouse Rocked" that he has only a single eye. |
| 533 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Big Billy is the only gang member to get an episode primarily revolved around him: "Slave the Day." |
| 534 | * TheDitz: The gang's dumbest member. In one episode, after the gang raise money to purchase a laser, they end up $5 short because Billy bought a stuffed teddy bear with the $5. |
| 535 | * DumbMuscle: He is all muscle and no brain. |
| 536 | * FatBastard: He's fat and a member of the evil gang. |
| 537 | * FatIdiot: The fattest and dimmest of the gang. |
| 538 | * GentleGiant: Despite his affiliation with the gang, he has traits of this, which is best shown in "Slave the Day." |
| 539 | * HeroWithAnFInGood: Billy causes even more destruction as a hero than he did with the gang in "Slave the Day", which gets Blossom fed up as she demands that Billy go back with his own gang. |
| 540 | * HulkSpeak: He often speaks in the third person. |
| 541 | * IOweYouMyLife: To reciprocate after the Girls save his life, Billy decides to be the former trio's servant. |
| 542 | * InhumanEyeConcealers: His bangs are used to cover his single eye underneath. |
| 543 | * InsufferableImbecile: While he is the nicest member of the gang, let's not forget that he's still a member of a gang who engages in typical criminal activities and shows no qualms when he joins in with his buddies. |
| 544 | * LethallyStupid: The gang's most destructive member, since his strength is just as big as his idiocy. |
| 545 | * TheMillstone: The one episode where he is saved by the Girls and decides to become a hero himself, he ended up becoming more of a hindrance than any help. He was eventually sent back to his gang by Blossom. |
| 546 | * RepetitiveName: As revealed in "Schoolhouse Rocked," his full name is William W. Williams. |
| 547 | * SimpletonVoice: He sounds just as stupid as he acts. |
| 548 | * StoutStrength: He looks fat, but is shown to have incredible strength, as he has shown to knock over a few buildings after defeating a monster and stopped an upcoming subway with just one hand... ''in the same episode''. |
| 549 | * TakenForGranite: He turns into a rock in "Power Lunch." |
| 550 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: He becomes this to the Girls after his devotion to them, making the villains get away and destroying everything to beat some of them. |
| 551 | |
| 552 | [[AC: Arturo]] |
| 553 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/littlearturo.png]] |
| 554 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Don't mess with me! Okay? Okay!"]] |
| 555 | |
| 556 | |
| 557 | * BeTheBall: This often happens to him occasionally. He's been used as a volleyball by Blossom and Bubbles in "Buttercrush", a baseball by Fuzzy and Mojo in "Telephonies", and a basketball by Big Billy in "Schoolhouse Rocked." |
| 558 | * CheatedAngle: Arturo's bang switches sides whenever he faces an opposite direction. |
| 559 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: Arturo is in a GangOfBullies and he speaks in a raspy Hispanic accent. |
| 560 | * FaceOfAThug: Inverted. He has the appearance of an innocent, prepubescent child yet is still a malevolent delinquent who joins in with his buddies to commit multiple acts of petty infractions. |
| 561 | * GratuitousSpanish: He occasionally speaks in Spanish words in between English sentences. |
| 562 | * HiddenDepths: He's the only gang member with a revealed family background. We learn in "Schoolhouse Rocked" that his father is named Macho Arturo who is currently locked up and handed him a pocket comb in the style of a switchblade. |
| 563 | * ICallItVera: He named his comb Maria Conchita Teresa Rosalita. But you can just call her Maria. |
| 564 | * KlatchianCoffee: He got his SuperSpeed from drinking coffee at the beginning of "Power Lunch." |
| 565 | * TheNapoleon: The gang's smallest member, and he's just as cruel and nasty as them as well. |
| 566 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's a teenager, just like the rest of the gang. But with his small height and childlike appearance, he looks more like he could pass on for one of the kids in Pokey Oaks kindergarten. |
| 567 | * OverlyLongName: Downplayed with his full name, Arturo de la Guerra. Played straight with his comb, Maria Conchita Teresa Rosalita. |
| 568 | * ShootHimHeHasAWallet: Non-shooting example. The Girls in "Schoolhouse Rocked" tackle him when they mistake his comb for a lethal blade. |
| 569 | * SinisterSwitchblade: At least that's what the Girls thought he had. The blade turned out to be his prized comb. |
| 570 | * StealthPun: Lil' Arturo's full name is Arturo de la Guerra. "Art" is an abbreviation of "Arturo" and "de la guerra" means "of war" in Spanish, making his full name a ShoutOut to ''Literature/{{The Art of War|SunTzu}}''. |
| 571 | * SuperSpeed: He has this as his superpower in "Power Lunch", in which he is even shown throwing a fury of quick punches. |
| 572 | * TragicKeepsake: His father handed him his comb just before the former was locked away in prison. |
| 573 | * VocalDissonance: He has a pretty gravelly voice for a midget. In fact, out of all the members of the gang, Arturo has the deepest voice. |

| 576 | [[folder:Princess Morbucks]] |
| 577 | [[quoteright:327:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princessmorbucks_cleanertp.png]] |
| 578 | [[caption-width-right:327:''"[[IfICantHaveYou If I can't be a Powerpuff Girl, then there won't be any Powerpuff Girls!]]"'']] |
| 579 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JenniferHale (1999-2014), Creator/HaleyMancini (2015-present)\ |
| 580 | |
| 581 | A spoiled [[RichBitch rich girl]] in the Powerpuff Girls' kindergarten class, whose partially unseen and mostly mute "Daddy" allows her to finance various evil plots to destroy the girls. Her hatred of them stems from her deluded rebuffed attempt to become one of them. |
| 582 | ---- |
| 583 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Though still an evil brat in the 2016 version who flaunts her wealth, she is not prone to temper tantrums like her original self. This version also softens her considerably in the episode "Poorbucks", in a way that the original version likely never would have entertained. |
| 584 | * AlphaBitch: She's a rich, spoiled Prima Donna that thinks she's better than the girls (and, by extension, everyone else). However, the trope is ultimately subverted since she's really not that popular and none of her schoolmates actually like or trust her. |
| 585 | * AttentionWhore: Quite possibly the biggest reason Princess wanted to be a Powerpuff Girl in the first place is that she wanted to be more recognized by everyone else than she was before, given her [[RichBitch highly rich status]] coming from her father. |
| 586 | * BadassAdorable: A 5-year-old girl who's a competent fighter and has enough expensive, high-tech gear to match the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 587 | * BerserkButton: Saying "no" to her and denying her things. Given she's a SpoiledBrat. |
| 588 | * BeyondRedemption: During "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", Santa declares her [[ThisIsUnforgivable beyond forgiveness]] after witnessing her true nature and puts her in the Permanent Naughty Plaque. |
| 589 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Towards Robin in the episode "Super Friends". Robin starts hanging out with her while the Girls frequently have to go out and fight crime, and Princess [[FalseFriend pretends to be friendly and understanding with her]], but what Robin doesn't know is that Princess is trying to lure her into a shoplifting act and tattle on her. |
| 590 | * BlackBeadEyes: Has eyes that are black dots. |
| 591 | * BlatantLies: On her first day at school, everyone opens up to her and wants to get to know her, but she just acts disrespectful in return, and for that, the Powerpuff Girls did not want her as a part of them, so what does she do? She runs home to her daddy with CrocodileTears and claims that she tried to be nice to everyone and that no one returned the favour, as the opposite of what actually happened. Yeah, ''very nice'', princess. |
| 592 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Redhead to Femme Fatale's Blonde and Sedusa's Brunette. |
| 593 | * BrattyHalfPint: With great emphasis on the "bratty" part. |
| 594 | * BullyingADragon: |
| 595 | ** It was ''very'' unwise to brag to Blossom about how she managed to (temporarily) defeat Buttercup and Bubbles. Especially since they got up and kicked her butt shortly after. |
| 596 | ** Likewise, she throws a temper tantrum and tries to bully Santa into doing her bidding, after she had already tricked him into giving her what she wanted. She learned the hard way that it's not wise to mess with Santa—she not only lost the superpowers she schemed her way into getting, but she ended up on the permanent naughty list. |
| 597 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: In her first appearance, finding that she will never join the Powerpuff Girls in part because she doesn't have any powers (and in part because she's just a terrible person), she gets her dad to buy her a super suit that lets her fly, shoot lightning, and match the girls in strength. And although she's never seen with it again, she does show up with a heavily-armed jetpack in other episodes, so she still somewhat counts. |
| 598 | * CoolCrown: Invoked in her outfit. She wears it full-time in the second series, whether she's in her battle outfit or not. |
| 599 | * ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: In "Bought and Scold" she has her dad buy Townsville from the Mayor and immediately declares that "crime is legal", and the only felony is to prevent other people from committing crimes. She does this purely to spite the Powerpuff Girls and put them out of business, but the effect is this trope nevertheless. This came back to bite her when the girls [[spoiler: ransacked '''everything in her mansion''', using this trope against her]], and she had to make crime illegal again and surrender her mayoral title to get everything back. |
| 600 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: Being a red-haired girl with a lot of wealth and having a surname that rhymes with "Warbucks", she is clearly based on [[ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie Annie]]. Unlike Annie, she cares more about getting her way than she does other people, she lashes out on those who refuse to submit to her whims and for the most part only values her father as a means to get her whatever she wants. She's a good example of how Annie might have turned out had she been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had her every whim catered instead of starting out as a destitute orphan before being adopted by a rich man. |
| 601 | * DaddysGirl: He lets her do pretty much whatever she wants, and if her telephone conversation with her mother is any indication, she hates her mother. |
| 602 | -->'''Princess''': Now look, monkey butt, it's real simple! Take your cheap, good-for-nothing, lazy soy latte, honey, and leap out a high window 'cause you're breathing my air, and you are fired! Ugh! *hangs up* Man, my mom can be such a pain in the butt. |
| 603 | * DaddysLittleVillain: Gets her father to do all the work for her. |
| 604 | * DarkActionGirl: The most prominent example in the show, she serves as an evil counterpart to the Powerpuff Girls, showing what they would be like if they were spoiled rotten. While she doesn’t have any superpowers of her own like they do, she does have the tech to match them in a fight. |
| 605 | * DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by a cursed tiara in "Tiara Trouble". |
| 606 | * {{Determinator}}: She always goes to great lengths to try and become a Powerpuff girl, not that she succeeds. |
| 607 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: She's a creature of impulse, which means she will do whatever she feels like ''when'' she feels like it if it means she can be spiteful towards the Powerpuff Girls in the process. Justified by the fact that she's as old as the girls at [[KidsAreCruel five years old]], which combined with the fact that father giving her anything she wanted made her a SpoiledBrat means she effectively has no understanding of patience or consequence yet. |
| 608 | * DramaticIrony: A big portion of her motives boils down to [[IJustWantToBeYou wanting to be as powerful and loved "instantly" like the Powerpuffs]] and failing to realize money doesn't accomplish that. [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie The movie]] establishes that the girls ''royally botched their first impressions'' thanks to not even remotely understanding the [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility sheer dangers of their powers]], and only became the endearing heroes everyone knows today by earning the people's respect with saving all of Townsville. |
| 609 | * DrivenByEnvy: Provides the trope's image. Her penchant for evil is entirely driven by her desire to be better than the Powerpuff Girls. Or rather, that the girls won't let her be one, and with good reason. She's a glory hog, has no powers of her own, and almost got herself killed when she tried to make her debut. In a nice bit of irony, once she gets an upgraded suit, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood it never occurs]] to her that she could strike out on her own instead of wasting her time and gadgetry on fighting the PPG. |
| 610 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Princess appears in the opening credits for a brief second, though does not appear until the Season 2 premier episode, "Stuck Up, Up, and Away". |
| 611 | * EnfantTerrible: She's around the same age as the girls, and is very [[{{Jerkass}} cruel]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe greedy]]. |
| 612 | * EntitledBitch: She's a complete jerk to the Powerpuff Girls, but becomes a sniveling whiner when she expects them to help her. This most notably happens in "Bought and Scold," when she makes crime legal just to keep the Powerpuff Girls from fighting crime and starts begging for their help when the girls secretly take her stuff to persuade her into repealing the pro-crime law. |
| 613 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her debut episode "Stuck Up, Up, and Away" introduces her as a snobby, SpoiledBrat who is rude to everyone that tried to befriend her. |
| 614 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: After she's defeated at the end of "Stuck Up, Up, and Away," she asks why they won't let her be a Powerpuff Girl. Blossom tells that it's her SpoiledBrat behavior that's preventing her from becoming one. Blossom even states that it's not about flaunting her wealth or being powerful, but about how Morbucks could use her wealth to genuinely help people. |
| 615 | ** On a bigger note, being that she's [[ItsAllAboutMe a self-centered and snobbish glory hog]] who [[DrivenByEnvy envies]] and [[TheResenter resents]] the Powerpuff Girls for being adored by everyone in Townsville, she never realized she could strike out on her own and become good instead of wasting her time fighting the PPG. |
| 616 | * EvilCounterpart: She's this to the Powerpuff Girls, both as a whole and to each of them individually (especially Blossom, with whom she has a fierce rivalry)—as a whole, she's essentially a character who desires their powers (and sometimes gets them or finds some way of copying them), yet has no qualities that make her worthy of them. After her first appearance, she even dresses like them most of the time. |
| 617 | ** Blossom—While Blossom can be a bit bossy and even kind of a jerk at times, she's ultimately much more compassionate and much more competent as a leader than Princess is. Also, while Blossom and Princess are both redheads, Blossom's more of a FieryRedhead while Princess is more of an EvilRedhead (obviously). |
| 618 | ** Buttercup— Princess is essentially what Buttercup would be if she were bitchier, quicker to anger, and had none of her redeeming attributes. |
| 619 | ** Bubbles—Both she and Princess are very girly and feminine and examples of a DaddysGirl, but Bubbles is [[AllLovingHero much friendlier and more sweet-natured]] than the rather condescending SpoiledBrat that Morbucks is. |
| 620 | * EvilerThanThou: In "Meet the Beat-Alls" she asserts this position when arguing with the other Powerpuff rogues—including [[{{Satan}} Him]]—claiming that it doesn't matter if Mojo Jojo has crazy gadgets or if Him is the Ultimate Evil because she trumps them both with her [[RichBitch cold hard cash]]. They actually ''agree'' with her, though they still continue arguing. |
| 621 | * FaceHeelTurn: It's arguable how much of a face there ever was, but in her first appearance, she turns evil because they won't let her become a Powerpuff Girl. In the beginning, she was just a stereotypical brat, which is why it turned her evil. |
| 622 | * Fiction500: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to levels that would make the pun in their name proud. The Morbucks family is either richer than most well-developed countries, or their wallet is literally bottomless. When Princess' father gets her anything that she wants, he means EVERYTHING. Their mansion is ''huger'' than huge and they even own enough land for there to be a theme park and race car track on the premises. Princess' father was even able to buy ''the city of Townsville'' in one episode (although, since it was bought from the mayor, it only cost a room of Turkish Delight). |
| 623 | * FieryRedhead: She's easily angered and has very bright red hair. |
| 624 | * FriendlessBackground: Princess does not have any friends. However, this is her own doing, as she's really spoiled and nasty toward almost everyone she talks to. |
| 625 | * FreudianExcuse: |
| 626 | ** The Powerpuff Girls didn't let her become a Powerpuff Girl, ''so now she's evil''. She attempts to pass this off as some kind of villain tragedy despite the fact that she was rude and insensitive towards everyone before that. She also only acted nice toward the Powerpuff Girls so that she could get her way (they noted this and didn't let her join because of her stuck-up attitude). |
| 627 | ** On a more serious note, her bad attitude stems from her neglectful parents (her father in particular) showering her with money so they won't be put up with her behavior, causing her to become an AttentionWhore with NoSocialSkills. |
| 628 | * GirlishPigtails: She has two poofy pigtails on her head. |
| 629 | * GlorySeeker: One of the main reasons Princess wants to be a Powerpuff Girl is to get some glory and attention. A perfect example was when she tricked Robin into stealing and pretended to apprehend her so the girls will let Princess join. |
| 630 | * GoneHorriblyRight: She takes over Townsville and declares that "crime is legal", claiming that she'll throw the Powerpuff Girls and any other law enforcement in jail if they attempt to uphold the law [[note]]How she is meant to enforce such a paradoxical law is not really brought up[[/note]]. Unfortunately she didn't consider that this means that the girls could just become criminals and rob ''her'' if they wanted, and even if they hadn't it could easily have been any other sufficiently brazen criminal who no longer had to fear any sort of legal recourse. |
| 631 | * GreenEyedMonster: Princess wants to be a [[TheTeamWannabe Powerpuff Girl]] because she's envious of their superpowers since they're something that the Powerpuff Girls have that Princess can never have, no matter how much money she has. She manages to gain superpowers in two instances though when she hires Mojo Jojo to create Chemical X for her, and during the Christmas Episode when she changes the headlines of Santa's Naughty and Nice lists since she's the only one on the Naughty list[[note]]which is basically a small Post-It Note[[/note]]. |
| 632 | * HairTriggerTemper: Like most [[SpoiledBrat Spoiled Brats]], Princess is extremely quick to anger when she doesn't get what she wants. |
| 633 | * HateSink: Even though Princess has some surprisingly likable moments, it's repeatedly overshadowed by the fact that Princess is one of the most shallow, vain, cruel, arrogant, loud, nasty, snobby, spoiled, and revoltingly evil villains in the show who's nothing but a SpoiledBrat with a disturbing LackOfEmpathy. |
| 634 | * HeroicWannabe: She wants to be a hero, but she's too much of a brat to know how to behave like one. |
| 635 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: |
| 636 | ** In the Christmas episode, when Princess changes the Naughty and Nice lists so she'll be on the Nice list and become a Powerpuff Girl, she ends up on the Permanent Naughty Plaque when her true nature is exposed right in front of Santa Claus, and then the Powerpuff Girls stop by her house when delivering coal to her to show off their powers and eat her milk and cookies, then drop her off in jail wrapped as a present for the police, with a tag stating: ''Merry Xmas: [=PPGs=]''. |
| 637 | ** In ''Bought and Scold'' where she makes crime legal, the girls steal her belongings to force her to make crime illegal again. |
| 638 | * HonoraryPrincess: Her given name is Princess Morebucks. |
| 639 | * IconicSequelCharacter: Debuted in the second season, and quickly became one of the most prominent members of the Powerpuff Girls' RoguesGallery. |
| 640 | * IfICantHaveYou: She outright says it in her first appearance when she buys a powersuit and shrieks, ''"If I can't be a Powerpuff Girl, then THERE WON'T BE ANY POWERPUFF GIRLS!!"'' |
| 641 | * IJustWantToBeYou: The thing she wants most is to be a Powerpuff Girl just so she can have superpowers like them. |
| 642 | * InnocentBystander: She appears in the online game "Rescue from Townsville Zoo" as one of the students trapped in the zoo that the player can rescue. |
| 643 | * ItsAllAboutMe: She only cares for her own selfish desires. The main reason she wants to be a Powerpuff Girl is to have superpowers like them since it's something they have that she doesn't have. |
| 644 | * IronicName: Zig-zagged. "Princess" fits her spoiled nature but she is the opposite of most things associated with the name. |
| 645 | * {{Jerkass}}: Big time. She's arrogant, loud, nasty, snobby, spoiled, and downright mean. |
| 646 | * KarmicButtMonkey: Considering her vile behavior, it's played as both hilarious ''and'' satisfying to watch her take many lumps in a comical manner. |
| 647 | * KickTheDog: |
| 648 | ** In "Stuck Up Up and Away," she brags to Blossom about defeating her sisters. |
| 649 | ** She gives a ''long'' insulting tirade to someone over the phone in one episode...then hangs up and reveals that the person she was talking to was ''her own mother''. |
| 650 | * KillAndReplace: In the 2016 reboot, she wants to be the only Powerpuff Girl to the point she wants to replace the real ones. |
| 651 | * KneelBeforeZod: "Prepare to bow to your princess!" |
| 652 | * LackOfEmpathy: Although in one small, bizarre moment, when Ms. Keane politely tells her fighting isn't allowed in class, Princess ''sincerely'' apologized before blasting the girls outside of the classroom. This was in her debut, so it's likely a case of CharacterizationMarchesOn / EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. As it goes to show, Morbucks' unempathetic attitude outright ''disgusts'' even Mojo Jojo (who is much more sympathetic than she ever was). |
| 653 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Two cases particularly stand out. In the Christmas episode, her sabotage of Santa's naughty and nice lists results in him stripping her of the powers he'd given her ''and'' being officially listed on the permanent naughty list. And in ''Bought and Scold'', she gets HoistByTheirOwnPetard when the Powerpuffs steal all her things while it's perfectly legal by Morbucks' decree, blackmailed into returning order to the city and the Mayor to his rightful position, and finally gets all of her things back—right as her father wakes up and sees her obsessing over all their things in the yard, making it look like she swiped and piled everything up for herself. [[PayEvilUntoEvil Her father's got a rolled up newspaper ready when he sees this.]] |
| 654 | * LastNameBasis: In the 2016 reboot, the girls mostly refer to her by last name. |
| 655 | * MadeOfIron: She's very durable for just a little girl with no superpowers. She has been beaten to a pulp by the Powerpuff Girls on more than one occasion, and she's somehow still alive. |
| 656 | * ManipulativeBitch: |
| 657 | ** In one episode, Princess uses the girls' hatred of the Rowdyruff Boys to get them on her side. She's also this sometimes towards her father, in order to convince him to give her more money (see her BlatantLies entry). |
| 658 | ** She pretended to be Robin's friend just to manipulate her into stealing so she can try to be a Powerpuff girl. |
| 659 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is ''Princess''. Averted with her personality, though. |
| 660 | * MissingMom: Her mother is never seen in the show. She is only mentioned when Princess is on the phone and she says "My mom is such a pain in the butt." |
| 661 | * TheNapoleon: If she's matched up with someone like, let's say, ''Buttercup'', Princess herself is '''''A LOT''''' more hateful in comparison, because even though she's very small, she's also '''super''' bratty (thanks in part to her seemingly less-than-loving upbringing) on a much larger scale than in Buttercup's case. |
| 662 | * {{Narcissist}}. She has issues with accountability, believes herself to be superior to others (while looking down on others), manipulating people (like how she took advantage of Robin, the girls' neighbor), doesn't care about other people's feelings (lacking empathy), desperation for attention, and she also lacks social awareness. |
| 663 | * NearVillainVictory: Occured in "Princess Buttercup" where she managed to separate Buttercup from her sisters and then trapped Blossom and Bubbles in an indestructible necronium diamond. |
| 664 | * NeverMyFault: |
| 665 | ** Princess ended up causing two bank robbers to get away in her attempt to be a Powerpuff Girl. When Blossom explained to her that the reason they won't let her be one of them is for her own protection, Princess goes to her dad, blaming the Powerpuff Girls for what happened. She says she was being perfect and that it was her father's fault. The next day she comes in with a supersuit and calls the Powerpuff Girls out on turning the class against her, even though everyone hated her before she even met the Powerpuff Girls. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment And this was just in her first appearance alone.]] |
| 666 | ** In "Bought & Scold," she even blames the girls for the theft of hers and her father's belongings. Granted the girls stole them, but given how she made crime legal, the girls stealing her stuff wasn't a crime at the time they were stolen. |
| 667 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: At her first attempt at being heroic with no superhero experience, she almost gets herself killed while causing the robbers to get away. |
| 668 | * NoSocialSkills: Due to being a SpoiledBrat, she has terrible social skills. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment This is shown in her debut episode,]] in which she acts mean and nasty towards the other kids who tried to befriend her. |
| 669 | * NotGoodWithRejection: Her whole hatred towards the girls is the fact that they refused to allow her to join their group. |
| 670 | * OriginalPositionFallacy: Princess makes crime legal in "Bought & Scold" to drive the Powerpuff Girls out of business. She only objects to the law once ''she'' is robbed and is forced to repeal it to get her stuff back. |
| 671 | * ParodySue: Her debut episode strongly resembles a SelfInsertFic with SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome. |
| 672 | --> "All I ever wanted was for everyone to instantly love me as much as they love you." |
| 673 | * PetTheDog: Played for laughs. In her first episode, when Miss Keane tells her that fighting isn't allowed in the classroom, she gives a sincere apology... Before throwing the Powerpuff Girls [[ExactWords outside the school]], destroying the wall in the process. |
| 674 | ** A more serious one is in the 2016 reboot episode "Poorbucks", where she develops [[FriendlyEnemies a friendship with Blossom.]] |
| 675 | * PintSizedKid: She's pretty small. |
| 676 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Though she's usually harmless, when she is in her powered armor, she can take on the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 677 | * PunnyName: Princess ''Morbucks.'' (more bucks) |
| 678 | * PostSupportRegret: In Princess Morbucks debut episode [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlss2E1StuckUpUpAndAwaySchoolhouseRocked Stuck Up, Up, and Away]] wanted to be a Powerpuff Girl, she annoyed the girls with her attempts to join them not listening that she doesn't have any powers and it's not safe for her to join them. When Princess Morbucks accidentally incapacitates the Powerpuff Girls and unintentionally lets the bank robbers get away, all three girls have had it with her. While Bubbles was angry and Buttercup angrily yelled at her, Blossom stopped Buttercup from yelling at Princess and calmly told her that her joining them was too dangerous and it was for her safety that she did not join them. When Princess does not show up for school the next day, Buttercup angrily asks where she is; Blossom believes that she has learned her lesson and probably feels silly. Then Princess Morbucks comes in and a power suit and beats Blossom's two sisters; after taunting Blossom about taking down her sisters. Blossom loses all sympathy and patience she had for Princess; after defeating her in battle, Blossom tells Princess she's just a spoiled brat, and that's why she can't join the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 679 | * PoweredArmor: In her first appearance, she gains a gold armor from her dad's money that lets her fight the girls on their level. |
| 680 | * RichBitch: She believes she can do whatever she wants because of her large fortune. |
| 681 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: She uses the power of wealth in her evil schemes. |
| 682 | * SeriesGoal: To become a Powerpuff Girl. The reboot takes this with an even worse threat—rather than wanting to be the fourth Powerpuff Girl, she wants to be the ''only'' Powerpuff Girl. |
| 683 | * SevenDeadlySins: For an already wealthy young girl, her ambitions for becoming a Powerpuff Girl herself made her embody every single one of them (though, one of them has to be more downplayed due to her age). |
| 684 | ** '''Greed''': She's already part of a rich family, yet she wants more than just the luxuries; she also ''desires'' to become a Powerpuff Girl herself, so much so that she'd do '''anything''' to accomplish that goal of hers. |
| 685 | ** '''Pride''': Her RichBitch status makes her believe that she deserves to be a Powerpuff Girl herself. |
| 686 | ** '''Wrath''': Due to her being a SpoiledBrat, she's ''very'' frequent in letting her anger out even for no reason. |
| 687 | ** '''Envy''': She's jealous that the Powerpuff Girls get more respect than she does, mainly because of the trio's superpowers, which is another factor for her desire in becoming a Powerpuff Girl herself. |
| 688 | ** '''Sloth''': Even if she does succeed in becoming a Powerpuff Girl, she won't actually use her powers to willingly or mandatorily fight crime, but instead just to show herself off in front of others. |
| 689 | ** '''Gluttony''': Other than the continuous harboring of the numerous items inside the Morbucks residence, she also has a rather uncontrollable obsession of becoming a Powerpuff Girl herself. |
| 690 | ** '''Lust''': She gets very eager whenever she gets what she wants, which includes becoming a Powerpuff Girl herself. |
| 691 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: This makes her stand out as being the only female villain who is about the same age as the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 692 | * SmallNameBigEgo: When she tried to be a Powerpuff Girl, she claimed to be very competent while obliviously foiling the girls' heroics. |
| 693 | * TheSociopath: Morbucks is one of the characters on the show who best fits the criteria for antisocial personality disorder, even more so than [[BigBad Mojo Jojo]]. She is frequently shown to be incapable of displaying any kind of empathy, integrity, or conscience; possesses unbridled selfishness, inordinate self-worth, commits crimes to satisfy her {{greed}} and selfishness, enjoys hurting the titular Powerpuff Girls whenever she can, and is incredibly [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]], haughty, and [[HairTriggerTemper loses her temper when things don't go her way (poor self-control)]]. What makes Morbucks exceptionally sociopathic is that, unlike the vast majority of the show's recurring villains, she doesn't have a [[TragicVillain tragic background]] or a FreudianExcuse for her actions, she just does what she does out of {{greed}} and [[ForTheEvulz fun]]. |
| 694 | * SpoiledBrat: Deconstructed. Her father buys everything she wants, ''including the city'' in one episode, and when she doesn't get what she wants, she cries and throws temper tantrums. However, due to being so spoiled, her father just gives her money just so he won't have to put up with her behavior. Also, she has [[NoSocialSkills bad social skills]], making it so difficult for her to make friends her age. |
| 695 | * TheTeamWannabe: She wanted to be a member of the Powerpuff Girls, but her attitude guaranteed that she never would be. |
| 696 | * ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Her motivation in the 2016 series. Despite Blossom giving in and letting her be a Powerpuff Girl to replace Buttercup, Princess plots to destroy Blossom and Bubbles to become the ''only'' Powerpuff Girl. |
| 697 | * TinyTyrannicalGirl: Orders everyone around to get all the job done for her. |
| 698 | * TokenHuman: She was the only human member of the Beat-Alls. |
| 699 | * ToothStrip: Her teeth are depicted this way in the later seasons. |
| 700 | * UngratefulBitch: On her second day of school, the girls remove a bomb from her before it can explode. Naturally, she doesn't learn to avoid the danger the girls get themselves in and goes home to complain about how "envious" the girls are of her (as well as claiming ''they'' put the bomb on her). |
| 701 | * UnskilledButStrong: Whenever she does get powers, she tends to have this disadvantage. This lack of skill and experience is even what helped Blossom defeat her during her first fight with the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 702 | * VillainDecay: In the beginning, she uses her money to make the Girls' lives hell, either by replicating their powers or screwing around with their lives with insane amounts of pull. However, in her later appearances, she appears more as a whiny blowhard that the girls defeat on more than one occasion by simply ignoring her. In "Superfriends," Blossom even refers to her as "completely harmless". She's brought back to being a decent threat in the Christmas Special, however, after tricking Santa into giving her superpowers by changing the Naughty and Nice lists. |
| 703 | * WealthsInAName: She's a spoiled rich girl supervillainess. Her name sounds like "more bucks." |
| 704 | * XanatosGambit: Pulls one in her debut in the 2016 version by having the Derby-tantes, a female rollerblade team she paid off, to appeal to Buttercup's tomboyish nature which distracted her from hanging out with Blossom and Bubbles then trying to convince them that she had quit the team. Then to force them to accept Princess at a critical moment as a replacement before trying to destroy the two so she can be the only Powerpuff Girl. Even when Buttercup found out what happened and tried to save them, Princess nearly did beat all of them thanks to a crystal trapping Blossom and Bubbles and having a robot on hand to deal with Buttercup. Her plan only fails because the Derby-tantes came to genuinely like Buttercup for her loyalty to her sisters and come to the girls' aid. |
| 705 | * YouthfulFreckles: She has freckles to indicate her relative youth compared to the other villains. |

| 708 | [[folder:The Amoeba Boys]] |
| 709 | [[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amoeba_boys.png]] |
| 710 | ->'''Voiced by''': Chuck [=McCann=] (Series), Lou Romano (Pilot) |
| 711 | |
| 712 | The Amoeba Boys are a trio of human-sized anthropomorphic protozoan gangsters. They'd like to be the greatest criminals Townsville has ever seen, but their brains aren't developed enough to come up with any schemes more evil than [[PokeThePoodle petty shoplifting or littering]]. The Powerpuff Girls consider them harmless, to their dismay—they'd consider it a badge of honor if they were evil enough to get beaten up by the Girls. Ironically, they've come closer to destroying Townsville and defeating the Powerpuff Girls than most of the other villains combined—all by accident, of course. |
| 713 | ---- |
| 714 | * AffablyEvil: The Amoeba Boys are quite friendly and affable to the girls, even to the point of calling themselves their best friends in "Birthday Bash". The only reason they commit crimes is mostly because they want to be seen as criminals by the girls. |
| 715 | * BigThinShortTrio: Bossman is the Big, Slim is the Thin, and Junior is the Short. |
| 716 | * BlobMonster: They were created out of water. |
| 717 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the original "Whoopass Stew" short, these guys were actually a ''threat'', since their amorphous bodies could just absorb the girls' punches. The girls had to use the ''sun'' to deal with them. Also, they actually pulled off a successful crime (i.e. robbery), and used guns. |
| 718 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: During the girls' birthday, the villains sent traps in the form of gifts to them. The Amoeba Boys sent them dolls (they were trying to use voodoo dolls on them, but had no idea what to do outside of making the cute dolls, sticking the needles in their own bodies instead). |
| 719 | * DemotedToExtra: They only get one episode to themselves in the reboot before soon undergoing ChuckCunninghamSyndrome (their voice actor, Chuck [=McCann=], passed away in 2018, which justifies their disappearance). |
| 720 | * TheDividual: They're always seen together, and no one knows them as more than just "The Amoeba Boys". Therefore, there was never any real reason to [[NoNameGiven give each of them a name]]. The boys do in fact have separate names (Bossman, Slim, and Junior with the ''What A Cartoon'' short ''Crime 101'' referring to the latter two as Skinny Slim and Tiny.) but are rarely if ever referred to by them. |
| 721 | * GoldfishPoopGang: They make the Gangreen Gang look competent and menacing in comparison. |
| 722 | * HarmlessVillain: So much so that they currently provide the page image. The girls greet most villains with a melodramatic gasp; the Amoeba Boys are more likely to get an "Oh... you," or (if it's been a long day) [[NowWhat exasperated groans]]. |
| 723 | * HiddenDepths: Apparently they know how to sew, as they made dolls of the Powerpuff Girls and sent them to the girls for their birthday. (They were supposed to be voodoo dolls, but the Amoeba Boys thought they were supposed to stick the needles in their own bodies instead of the dolls'.) |
| 724 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They want to commit crimes, but can't think of anything other than littering and stealing oranges. |
| 725 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: The dramatic way they toss a piece of paper onto the ground in an attempt to commit a crime. |
| 726 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: |
| 727 | ** An unintentional example. When they end up catching a cold, it ends up mutating (because of their amoeba nature) and spreads throughout the entire town, severely weakening the Powerpuff Girls when they caught it. |
| 728 | ** Another time they become this is in the episode "Divide & Conquer." They first learn to multiply themselves, steal all the oranges in Townsville, and are able to turn the citizens green. |
| 729 | ** They join the other villains in "See Me Feel Me Gnomey" and prove capable of lasting in a prolonged fight against the Powerpuff Girls, eventually helping beat them down. |
| 730 | * PokeThePoodle: The most evil thing they could think of to do was to stand on the grass in front of a "Keep Off Grass" sign. |
| 731 | * SemanticSuperpower: In the 2016 reboot, they tried to destroy the Internet and can freely control it because amoebas are very close to viruses (so they can be considered ''computer'' viruses). [[NotSoHarmlessVillain They were extremely dangerous in this episode]] and [[AdaptationalBadass it was probably the most coolest moment in their lives]]. |
| 732 | * SimpletonVoice: They sound as stupid as they act. |
| 733 | * StarterVillain: They were the main antagonists of the original Whoopass Stew short. |
| 734 | * StupidCrooks: They wanna be criminal hotshots, but they can't think of anything worse than common misdemeanors. |
| 735 | * SympathyForTheDevil: From the girls. And remember, the girls ''love'' to fight crime. |
| 736 | * TerribleTrio: They try to be this, but come off as more pathetic than evil. |
| 737 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "See Me Feel Me Gnomey" the trio joins in on the villains' rampage though they initially do so through their usual PokeThePoodle shenanigans, they prove capable of fighting properly against the Powerpuff Girls when the latter try and stop them, emerging victorious alongside the rest of the villains. |
| 738 | * TookALevelInDumbass: The original ''Whoopass Stew'' animation portrayed the Amoeba Boys as the antagonists and they're relatively competent (they pull off a bank robbery). That would unfortunately be their finest hour. |
| 739 | [[/folder]] |
| 740 | |
| 741 | [[folder:Sedusa]] |
| 742 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sedusapng_copy.png]] |
| 743 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JenniferHale |
| 744 | |
| 745 | A master (or rather, mistress) of disguise who uses her cunning and her sex appeal to trick powerful men into doing her bidding. True to her PunnyName, she has PrehensileHair, which is her greatest asset in combat. |
| 746 | ---- |
| 747 | * AdvertisedExtra: Was consistently featured in promo material as a major part of the RoguesGallery, but she made very few appearances in the series, and was effectively replaced as the primary female villain by Princess Morbucks from Season 2 onwards. |
| 748 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: She looks human for the most part but her skin is chalk white, has unusual powers, and when we see her hair being completely shaved off in "Aspirations", she has pointy elf ears. This goes unspecified in-series. |
| 749 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: [[spoiler: When the Gangrene Gang brought her three ancient artifacts, she grew into a huge giant that regained her lost hair (which is literally snakes, properly fitting her name) and was more than a match for the girls.]] |
| 750 | * BaldOfEvil: Her third appearance is this as she still hadn't recovered her hair after [[spoiler:Ms. Bellum and the PPG cut it off.]] |
| 751 | * BatterUp: Says this when she hits the Powerpuff Girls with her scepter when she grows into a giant. |
| 752 | * BeautyIsBad: Very hot, yet very monstrous. |
| 753 | * BigBreastPride: She's as busty as Miss Bellum. But unlike Ms. Bellum, Sedusa is proud of her chest, along with the rest of her assets, and actually weaponizes them in order to manipulate and seduce men. |
| 754 | * BigNo: |
| 755 | ** When her [[spoiler:hair was cut up by Sara Bellum.]] |
| 756 | ** Also in "Aspirations", [[spoiler:when the Girls remove her tiara. First, the snakes in her hair disappear, and then she shrinks back down to her original size.]] |
| 757 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: In particular episodes like "Mommy Fearest," when she disguises herself as another woman with another personality (usually nice). |
| 758 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Brunette to Femme Fatale's Blonde and Princess Morbucks' Redhead. |
| 759 | * BroughtDownToNormal: When Sedusa's hair is soaked to the point where it can't be used anymore, it is cut off by the good guys to make sure she never uses it again for evil, rendering Sedusa powerless. She briefly manages to gain Sedusa-like hair in her next appearance after that, albeit for a short amount of time. |
| 760 | * ChildHater: Most notably in "Mommy Fearest", where she is extremely nasty to the girls behind the Professor's back. |
| 761 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She's completely absent from the reboot. While the reason for this is unknown, the reason behind Ms. Bellum's [[PutOnABus disappearance]] (The creators of the reboot felt like having a MsFanservice felt wrong about their message) could be responsible for this. |
| 762 | * CombatStilettos: Wears red thigh-high high-heeled boots even while fighting. [[spoiler:Fought Miss Bellum in her own red pumps while disguised as her.]] |
| 763 | * DarkActionGirl: Despite it not being her preferred approach, she has never shied away from a fight opponents, almost always to her own detriment. |
| 764 | * DomesticAbuse: When alone in "Mommy Fearest", she's loud, vicious, impatient, unforgivingly strict, and prone to destructive outbursts, all to terrorize and discipline the girls. |
| 765 | * DressedLikeADominatrix: She wears a red leotard, black leggings with red fishnets, red thigh-high high-heeled boots, and red opera gloves. |
| 766 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has pale skin, black hair, and is a villain and a creep. |
| 767 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the episode "Mommy Fearest," she disguises herself as a woman called "Ima Goodlady" to seduce the Professor. Even after her true colors are revealed, she attempts to manipulate and seduce the Professor into grounding the girls again. It doesn't work. |
| 768 | * EvilCounterpart: To Miss Bellum. They're both MsFanservice women, but Sedusa is aware of this and weaponizes it to get away with her crimes. |
| 769 | * EvilIsPetty: She's an exceptionally dangerous thief, but most of her schemes simply revolve around stealing money and priceless jewels. |
| 770 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A seductress named Sedusa. |
| 771 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She'll use her seductiveness and charms to swoon over any guy to get her way. |
| 772 | * GorgeousGorgon: [[spoiler: Played literally in her third appearance, when she gets snake hair.]] |
| 773 | * GoryDiscretionShot: Parodied when [[spoiler:Miss Bellum cuts all her hair off. The camera pans away from the [[SarcasmMode "carnage"]] while she lets out a BigNo.]] |
| 774 | * GuessWhoImMarrying: In "Mommy Fearest", she tries this with Professor Utonium while in disguise. |
| 775 | * HartmanHips: She seems to have the biggest butt and widest hips of the cast, and her outfits and poses emphasize that fact as well. |
| 776 | * IdiotBall: Grabs it at the climax of her debut episode when she attempts to trick Professor Utonium into punishing the girls despite the fact that her true identity had been exposed. And adding to that, she openly insults the girls right in front of the professor. |
| 777 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: She has a very large bust, a waist thinner than her neck, and very wide hips. Seduction and sensuality are among her super powers, so her very sexual appearance is appropriate. |
| 778 | * {{Jerkass}}: Especially in "Mommy Fearest" where she acts nasty to the girls and grounds them to keep them from getting in her way. |
| 779 | * LadyInRed: She wears a red leotard and as her name implies, is very seductive. |
| 780 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After masquerading as Miss Bellum, she is defeated by the very women she was impersonating, with the aid of the Powerpuff Girls. The fight sees Sedusa's hair soaked to the point where it is useless in combat, and Miss Bellum proceeds to cut all of it off. |
| 781 | * LeanAndMean: Her waist is as thin as her neck, and she's very mean. |
| 782 | * LightIsNotGood: Has a very pale skin, but also a heart that's much darker than her hair. |
| 783 | * LogicalWeakness: Sedusa's primary power is her PrehensileHair. Getting it wet makes it unable to hold its shape, and leaves her unable to control it. Cutting it off also works. |
| 784 | * LooksLikeOrlok: When her head is shaved, she has pointy ears and teeth, and pale skin. This was likely put in to fit her gorgon theme. |
| 785 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Trains the Gangreen Gang to steal Egyptian Artifacts in "Aspirations" |
| 786 | * MasterOfDisguise: She disguises herself as Ima Goodlady and [[spoiler: Ms. Bellum]] in two episodes. |
| 787 | * MeaningfulName: On two separate occasions, she has tried to ''seduce'' Professor Utonium and the Mayor of Townsville. Also, her name is a play on Medusa of Greek mythology and locks of her hair act like tentacles. |
| 788 | * MsFanservice: She has a very buxom and curvy figure and wears an outfit consisting of a red leotard, black leggings with red fishnets, red thigh-high high-heeled boots, and red opera gloves. She's also very seductive towards men, the narrator describing her as "naughty" in one episode, and in another episode, Sedusa disguised herself as the aforementioned Ms. Bellum. She shares this role among the cast with Ms. Bellum. |
| 789 | * TheNoseless: Only when shown in the front, as her nose is actually visible when seen in profile. |
| 790 | * OneWingedAngel: She gets one in "Aspirations" after [[spoiler:using the Gangreen Gang to obtain 3 mystical artifacts]]. |
| 791 | * OutOfFocus: Sedusa appeared in only ten episodes of the original show and only three of those had her as the main antagonist. The other seven episodes only had her as a wordless cameo. This was because Craig [=McCracken=] had a hard time thinking of plots with her as the main villain. Even The Amoeba Boys, who were actually ''intended'' to be joke villains, had more major appearances than Sedusa. |
| 792 | * PrehensileHair: She can move her hair to grab things and fight. |
| 793 | * RageBreakingPoint: In "Mommy Fearest", where she finds out that the girls were off fighting crime. |
| 794 | -->'''Sedusa/Ima:''' ''THAT'S IT! [[YouAreGrounded You three are...]]'' '''''[[YouAreGrounded GROUNDED!]]''''' |
| 795 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Most of her outfit is red, and her hair and pantyhose are black. |
| 796 | * WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: She has chalk white skin and most of her outfit is red, and she's a sinister and manipulative villain. |
| 797 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Comes with being a master of disguise. |
| 798 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: [[StrawFeminist Femme Fatale]] dismisses her contemptuously as "That chick in the underwear." |
| 799 | * TookALevelInBadass: In her first appearance, Sedusa goes down in a matter of seconds shortly after her cover is blown. In "Something's A Ms.", her new hair gel makes her a much more dangerous threat, and she actually manages to subdue the girls. It even takes Ms. Bellum to defeat her. |
| 800 | * TraumaticHaircut: The girls and Ms. Bellum cut off all her hair in "Something's A Ms.". "Aspirations" has her plotting her revenge for this indignity. |
| 801 | * TheVamp: On two different occasions, she's tried to seduce Professor Utonium and the Mayor of Townsville. Almost literally in her third appearance as the animators added fangs to her teeth. |
| 802 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Water apparently, when Bellum and she got into a fight which carried over into the pool. She tries to continue her attack only to find she couldn't control her hair anymore due to it being too damp to use. It also works on her hair gel which Bellum uses to free the girls from their bonds. |
| 803 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: While disguised as Ima Goodlady, she acts all sweet and seductive around the Professor. But when interacting with the girls, she drops the act and becomes strict and cruel to them. |
| 804 | * WickedStepmother: When she lived with the Professor and the Powerpuff Girls in "Mommy Fearest", she was horrifically mean to them. |

| 814 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RobPaulsen (Boomer/Brick), Roger L. Jackson (Butch) |
| 815 | |
| 816 | A team of [[SpearCounterpart male counterparts]] of the Powerpuff Girls, created by Mojo Jojo out of snips, snails, and puppy dog tails. They love causing mayhem, mischief, and chaos. They were originally one-off villains, killed off in the same episode they were introduced, but they were a fan favorite and were later resurrected by Him to become recurring members of the RoguesGallery. |
| 817 | ---- |
| 818 | [[AC:General]] |
| 819 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The teenage versions of the girls certainly think this of them in "The Town of Clipsville". |
| 820 | -->'''Teenage Bubbles''': We shouldn't talk to them! They're ''bad!'' |
| 821 | -->'''Teenage Blossom and Buttercup''': ''(dreamily)'' I ''know''.... |
| 822 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The Girls simply ''cannot'' take the Rowdyruff Boys on in a straight fight. Every time, they have to resort to a clever tactic to outsmart them. Part of this is they're roughly equal in power, but the Rowdyruff Boys aren't concerned about leveling the city going all out. |
| 823 | * AnimeHair: When they come back. Lampshaded by Buttercup. |
| 824 | * ArtificialHumans: Using a recipe based on the one created to use the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 825 | * AscendedExtra: Originally one-time villains, they become recurring ones after Him revives them and gives them a cootie shot. |
| 826 | * AxCrazy: The three of them appear to enjoy causing chaos (or "fun"), but especially Butch, who gets really excited about the mayhem they cause. |
| 827 | * BackFromTheDead: Return when Him brings them back to life. |
| 828 | * BadassAdorable: They have superpowers just like their female counterparts, though calling them cute would be ill-advised. |
| 829 | * BewareTheSuperman: They have the exact same power set as the Girls, but are villainous and have no concern about accidentally leveling the city in a fight. |
| 830 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Regardless of their treatment of Boomer, Brick and Butch actually searched for him once they find out he's missing in a representation of concern. And all three tend to come to one another's aid (if needed). |
| 831 | * BigEater: All of them stole large quantities of candy in "Bubble Boy". In "Boy Toys", Boomer eats five whole burgers in ''one bite''. |
| 832 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Boomer is blond, Butch is brunet and Brick is a redhead. |
| 833 | * BloodKnight: All of them, but Butch anticipates it so much that he's visibly restless enough to have a CharacterTic. |
| 834 | * BreakoutVillain: They were one-shot villains who were killed off at the end of their very first appearance, but left such an impression that they were resurrected four seasons later, and became recurring villains afterward. |
| 835 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to the Girls' Abel. Both were created by Mojo Jojo, directly and indirectly, respectively. |
| 836 | * CameBackStrong: They were destroyed by the Powerpuff Girls in their first appearance by their kisses (cooties). Him resurrected the trio and granted them immunity to that prior weakness. |
| 837 | * TheCameo: They briefly appear once in the 2016 reboot during the episode "Total Eclipse of the Kart". |
| 838 | * ChromaticArrangement: Blue [Boomer], Red [Brick], and Green [Butch]. |
| 839 | * CombatPragmatist: They're not above endangering civilians just to distract the girls for an easy super punch. |
| 840 | * CounterpartCombatCoordination: The battles between them and the Powerpuff Girls, though there's the rare switch around (they definitely did so in the Rowdyruffs' debut episode). |
| 841 | * CuteBruiser: Although they will punch your lights out if you call them "cute". |
| 842 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The {{Villain Protagonist}}s of "Custody Battle". |
| 843 | * DemotedToExtra: They go from recurring antagonists in the original to only having one non-speaking cameo in the 2016 reboot. |
| 844 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: They were rather one-note when they were first introduced, but more mentally competent. Their reappearance has them dumbed down in intelligence in exchange for having their own distinct personalities. |
| 845 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In their first appearance, Brick and Butch had completely different hairstyles, and Boomer's hairstyle, while mostly the same, was much more cleaner. |
| 846 | * EnfantTerrible: They are around the age of the Girls, and are villainous sociopaths. |
| 847 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They might mock and make fun of one another, but they ''do'' genuinely care about one another and will come to each other's defense. |
| 848 | * EvilCounterpart: Respectively. |
| 849 | ** Boomer and Bubbles are treated as the baby of their groups, but where Bubbles is [[TheHeart sweet and naive]], Boomer is [[ButtMonkey mean and stupid.]] |
| 850 | ** Brick is the EvilRedhead to Blossom's RedIsHeroic. Unlike Blossom, he has an abrasive approach when it comes to leadership and can come off as a bully, especially to Boomer. |
| 851 | ** Butch, similar to Buttercup, is a BloodKnight. He just lacks the positive qualities that make Buttercup a hero. |
| 852 | * EvilKnockoff: Created by Mojo Jojo to counter the Powerpuff Girls' powers. |
| 853 | * EvilTwin: Technically, since Mojo Jojo accidentally created the Powerpuff Girls in the first place, and then ''intentionally'' created the Rowdyruff Boys to fight them, they could all be considered a BigScrewedUpFamily with Mojo as their collective ''dad''. |
| 854 | * EyeBeams: They can shoot lasers from their eyes. |
| 855 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Mojo Jojo and Him act as surrogate fathers to the Rowdyruff Boys, both of who are criminals, making this fit right in. |
| 856 | * {{Fartillery}}: When they blast the girls with clouds in their debut episodes, they state "Good thing we had those burritos for lunch!" |
| 857 | * FingerlessHands: They share these sorts of hands with their female counterparts. |
| 858 | * FlyingBrick: Their basic powers. They can fly and have SuperStrength and SuperToughness. |
| 859 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: When they re-appear in "The Boys are Back In Town", the girls make fun of their "scary new hairdos", Brick is angry that they aren't scared, Butch is still grinning manically and Boomer... fluffs his hair appreciatively. |
| 860 | * GangOfBullies: Essentially to the Powerpuff Girls. And when they're not around, [[BigBrotherBully Brick and Butch turn it on Boomer.]] |
| 861 | * GirlsHaveCooties: They were defeated after being ''kissed''. It even made them '''explode.''' |
| 862 | * HeelFaceTurn: As teenagers in one scene from "The City of Clipsville". |
| 863 | * HeManWomanHater: They don't just think GirlsHaveCooties, they ''hate'' girls with a sadistic passion. |
| 864 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: After the Girls killed them with cooties, Him made them immune to them, while also giving them the ability to grow bigger and stronger the more they got kissed. |
| 865 | * {{Jerkass}}: All three of them are just plain nasty bullies. |
| 866 | * KidsAreCruel: Physically 5-year-old bullies. |
| 867 | * KnightOfCerebus: A bit zig-zagged. They're some of the very few villains who pose a genuine threat to the girls and prove to have virtually no redeeming qualities (though this is more established in their first episode). With that said, it is shown in the ClipShow episode that they seem to warm up greatly toward the girls come their teen years. |
| 868 | * LackOfEmpathy: They show no concern for any victims that get hurt in their destruction. |
| 869 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Fittingly they have a theme that is a darker and more aggressive version of the Powerpuff Girl's own instrumental theme. |
| 870 | * MeteorMove: Their finishing blow against the Girls in their first battle was to supercharge their bodies and slam into their counterparts ''hard'', sending them crashing into the ground and leaving them half-buried in a deep crater. |
| 871 | * NiceMeanAndInbetween: They're all [[{{Jerkass}} mean]], but if we take a darker version of it—Boomer [nice], Butch [mean], and Brick [in-between], with Brick and Butch possibly alternating. |
| 872 | * NoIndoorVoice: Particularly in their debut episode. Brick is probably the worst offender. |
| 873 | * TheNoseless: Like their female counterparts, they aren't depicted with noses. |
| 874 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: In "The City of Clipsville", the teenage version of the Boys are far more mellow, going on a triple date with the Girls. |
| 875 | * OutOfFocus: Despite being very popular with the fanbase, they don't show up often in official media. The reason for this was because [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/d494aed3227eb82788666946b548eacd/50bdde9e7d9eb119-5a/s1280x1920/79e753ae2625c70cebf1be5fec6f6e0b2a76669c.jpg Craig McCracken originally saw them as one off characters, but when Season 5 came, Cartoon Network asked the team to make multiple episodes with them.]] Notably they were only used as a cameo appearance in the reboot episode "Total Eclipse of the Kart". |
| 876 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Every time they appear for a fight and in general. They are even a serious threat to the Powerpuff Girls, who are also capable of mass destruction. As one can understand, pitting them against each other is not the best result for Townsville. |
| 877 | * PintSizedKid: They are the same size as the Girls. |
| 878 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: They're very small children, but they have just as much strength as the Girls. |
| 879 | * PowerTrio: On all the same levels as the Powerpuffs. |
| 880 | * ThePsychoRangers: Evil versions of the Powerpuff Girls created by Mojo Jojo. |
| 881 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: Their "Ballistic Barrage" attack involves them pummeling the Powerpuffs with non-stop punches. |
| 882 | * {{Sadist}}: They are absolutely ''brutal'' to the girls. |
| 883 | * SameSexTriplets: There's three of them and they're all boys. |
| 884 | * ShamefulShrinking: "The Boys Are Back In Town" reveals that their new weakness is shrinking when they feel emasculated. The Girls use this against the Boys to defeat them. |
| 885 | * ShipTease: "The City of Clipsville" episode includes all three pairings showing interest in each other. |
| 886 | * SiblingsInCrime: They are siblings and they commit crimes. |
| 887 | * TheSociopath: They're bullies for the sake of being bullies, including towards each other. |
| 888 | * SomethingElseAlsoRises: After they're brought back, the girl's kisses no longer defeat them, they make them grow larger. And when their masculinity is threatened they shrink. |
| 889 | * SpearCounterpart: To the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 890 | * StrawMisogynist: Befitting of their nature, they think all girls are a bunch of "sissies". With a notable example being the episode "Boy Toys", where they turn down a request by Princess Morbucks to join them because she's a girl. |
| 891 | * SweetTooth: If thieving all that candy in "Bubble Boy" is any indication. |
| 892 | * TerribleTrio: Three brothers who are destructive. |
| 893 | * ThemeTwinNaming: Just like their original female counterparts, all their names start with the letter B (Brick, Boomer, and Butch). |
| 894 | * TookALevelInBadass: Not that they weren't badass already. |
| 895 | * TookALevelInDumbass: After they are resurrected, their intelligence is dumbed down greatly, though they are as tough as ever. Brick, a little less so than his brothers. |
| 896 | * VillainProtagonist: In their ADayInTheLimelight episode "Custody Battle". |
| 897 | * VocalDissonance: For a trio of (presumably) 5-year-olds, they all have the voices of teenagers. |
| 898 | * VolumetricMouth: Brick is drawn with one as he shouts at his brothers to be quiet in "The Boys Are Back In Town". |
| 899 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They disappear after "Custody Battle." |
| 900 | * WouldHitAGirl: They hate girls and enjoy beating them, especially the Powerpuff Girls. |
| 901 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Much like the girls, they were created at the age they are twice, so they're probably only months old for most of the show. |
| 902 | |
| 903 | [[AC:Boomer]] |
| 904 | [[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boomer2.jpg]] |
| 905 | [[caption-width-right:240:"You girls are gonna eat your words, spit 'em out, then eat 'em again!"]] |
| 906 | |
| 907 | * AffablyEvil: He's nicer than his brothers, at least. But that's only in comparison. |
| 908 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Technically the boys were created at the same time, but Boomer's idiocy irritates Brick and Butch. |
| 909 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Boomer may be an idiot, but he still causes lots of damage like his brothers. |
| 910 | * BullyingADragon: Try 3 dragons. He has the ''audacity'' to taunt the girls when they find him. By himself. They promptly [[CurbStompBattle kick his ass in.]] |
| 911 | * ButtMonkey: Particularly when Butch and Brick gang up on him. |
| 912 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tends to say random things that make no sense at all! |
| 913 | * CuteAndPsycho: While he is as cute as Bubbles claims him to be, he's still just as destructive and violent as his brothers. |
| 914 | * TheCutie: Is the nicest of the Rowdyruff Boys and is well... Cute! |
| 915 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In "Bubble Boy". He's also noticeably the only one of the boys who had an episode centered solely on him. |
| 916 | * TheDitz: Boomer is definitely the dumbest of the trio, but mostly in comparison to the other two. |
| 917 | * DumbBlonde: His brothers aren't that much better really, but Boomer simply says idiotic things that make no sense and he's, well, ''blond''. |
| 918 | * DumbMuscle: All of the Rowdyruff Boys are insanely powerful and quite stupid, but Boomer is definitely the stupidest. |
| 919 | * ShipTease: Surprisingly with Bubbles, though one-sided on her part. It's not much, but she does exclaim that she wants the blond because he's "cute" very excitedly and is all too willing when kissing him on the cheek (she embraces him while doing so). |
| 920 | * TemptingFate: After being sent on his own to steal candy in "Bubble Boy", he's immediately confronted by the girls, who demand that he drop said candy. Instead of [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaving]] and getting his brothers, he taunts them, asking if they're going to beat him up if he didn't comply. Short answer: [[CurbStompBattle they were.]] |
| 921 | |
| 922 | [[AC:Brick]] |
| 923 | [[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/index_020.jpg]] |
| 924 | [[caption-width-right:240:"We're the Rowdyruff Boys, and we wanna fight!"]] |
| 925 | |
| 926 | * BigBrotherBully: Both he and Butch enjoy picking on Boomer. |
| 927 | * DopeSlap: Gives these to [[TheDitz Boomer]] a lot, starting in "The Boys are Back in Town." |
| 928 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Brick admits that he thought it was gross that Bubbles actually ate a roach in "Bubble Boy". |
| 929 | * EvilIsHammy: While announcing the "Rumble-Ball" game they play while beating up the Girls in "The Boys Are Back In Town". |
| 930 | * EvilRedhead: Brick is Blossom's EvilCounterpart who shares her red hair. |
| 931 | * FieryRedhead: He has red hair and is incredibly easy to tick off. |
| 932 | * HairTriggerTemper: Brick is the short-tempered and hot-headed leader of the group. |
| 933 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 934 | ** In "The Boys Are Back in Town" he yells at his brothers and calls them sissies for crying, despite being in the middle of a crying fit himself. |
| 935 | ** In "Bubble Boy", when he calls out Bubbles (disguised as Boomer) for supposedly mispronouncing the word "dumb", then he mispronounces it too. |
| 936 | * {{Jerkass}}: All of the [=RRBs=] are dicks, but Brick especially. |
| 937 | * LargeHam: His general personality is hamming up nearly everything he says. |
| 938 | * TheLeader: Not the best example of any type, but with the traits at hand, he would fall in a hybrid of Type II/Type III (he seems more focused than the other two). [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Implied to have been Type I in "The Rowdyruff Boys" [first appearance] before the thought went kaput with their return]]. |
| 939 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: After he and his brothers get resurrected, his hair is as long as Blossom's. |
| 940 | * NeverBareheaded: Brick has never been seen without his baseball cap. |
| 941 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Brick's red signature color really goes with the black scheme that's already given to the three boys. |
| 942 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Brick has red eyes and is evil. |
| 943 | * RedIsViolent: Has a red hat along with a red shirt and is crazy. |
| 944 | * SignatureHeadgear: Brick wears a red baseball cap, in opposition to Blossom's red hair bow. |
| 945 | * TheSmartGuy: Smarter compared to his brothers. He is good at setting traps, organizing attacks, and is street-smart to boot. |
| 946 | * StreetSmart: ''Kinda''. The Rowdyruff Boys are portrayed as idiots (and are), but Brick seems to at least display simple street tactics like coordinated attacks, setting traps, and playing dirty. |
| 947 | * TookALevelInJerkass: While he wasn’t a saint to begin with, in his initial appearance, he was more respectful towards his brothers, but after his resurrection, he became more bossy and abrasive towards them, often yelling at them and bullying Boomer. |
| 948 | [[AC:Butch]] |
| 949 | [[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/butch2.jpg]] |
| 950 | [[caption-width-right:240:"Good thing we had those burritos for lunch. Heh-heh-heh-heh!"]] |
| 951 | |
| 952 | * AxCrazy: All of the Boys are, but Butch is downright ''batshit insane''. |
| 953 | * BigBrotherBully: Like the Girls, all three of them are the same age, but Boomer[[note]]Bubbles is seen as the youngest in the Girls trio, and Boomer is Bubbles's counterpart, so yeah.[[/note]] is treated as the youngest and frequently gets bullied by Butch and Brick. |
| 954 | * BloodKnight: To an AxCrazy extent. |
| 955 | * TheBrute: Butch is the muscle of the group like Buttercup, and is the most violent of the three brothers. |
| 956 | * CharacterTics: Butch often twitches, like he's had too much caffeine. |
| 957 | * DarkIsEvil: Has black hair and on the side of evil. |
| 958 | * {{Keet}}: He is very hyper and excitable. It makes one wonder how much sugar or caffeine he has ingested over time. |
| 959 | * PerpetualSmiler: Butch is almost always wearing a SlasherSmile, much more prominently after his resurrection in "The Boys are Back in Town". |
| 960 | * SlasherSmile: It really accentuates his [[AxCrazy ax-craziness]]. |
| 961 | * TwitchyEye: Whenever he's out of combat, he's literally shaking in anticipation for a fight. |
