Supporting characters in the Fanfiction "More Than Human". For the original cartoon, see here and here.

Citizens of Townsville

Professor Utonium

The creator of the Powerpuff girls. He loves his girls dearly but can be a little silly at times. In the story, he invented a monster barrier that prevented the majority of monsters from entering the city, all in an attempt to give the Powerpuff Girls less work to do. Of course, the system is not perfect and a few monster attacks have appeared in the story. He is a bit of a workaholic and the city is always looking for his help and expertise, leaving him less time with his daughters.

---

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Now more than ever, owing to his Manly Tears whenever it dawns on him how big his little girls are now.
  • He was planning to gift Buttercup with a second-hand car for her birthday, which quickly became a laughing stock since Mrs. Moorbucks had just offered to give a Cool Car. In a heartwarming twist of events, she accepts his gift instead.
• Berserk Button: Boys showing interest in his girls bothers him a little too much, and in chapter 6 he bursts his stress ball when sensing how much Fanservice is going on at the beach.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's generally a polite and professional man and a loving father, but if you're dating one of his girls, you best be on your best behavior, lest he unleashes "The Boyfriend Killing Machine" on you.
• Big Good: Not only did he directly create the town's heroes, he's currently working on a Monster barrier to keep Townsville safe from threats (and so that his daughters can finally be normal little girls).
• Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: While he generally gives The Girls free range when it comes to their love life, he always has a serious talk with the suitors beforehand. This is apparently enough to turn him into The Dreaded for them.
• Bumbling Dad: Sometimes plays the part of this when around The Girls.
• Control Freak: When it comes to his girls' wardrobe. A 5/3 thickness wetsuit at the beach? Really, Professor?
• Death Glare: Gives a frighteningly effective one to Brick in episode 11 when asking him if he's interested in his daughter. The fact that Brick of all people is intimidated by it speaks volumes of just how scary it is.
• The Dreaded: He's one for all of his daughters' potential boyfriends; including Boomer and Butch.
• Everyone Has Standards: He really wants Townsville and its people to live happily and safe from monsters, but Blossom's obsession with saving everyone clearly worries him, as it's severely affecting her mental state.
• Fatherly Scientist: While his work with the monster barrier stops him from being there for his daughters as much as he would like to, he's still as loving and supportive as ever.
• Good Parents: He loves his daughters very much, and wishes they could spend more time together.
• Like Parent, Like Child: He's as conservative regarding appearance and professionalism as Blossom is, and her lectures are very similar to his.
• Jerkass Has a Point:
  • He might be a little harsh about it, but he's got every reason to be worried about The Rowdyruff Boys dating his daughters.
  • He's also right about Will being a terrible boyfriend, and considering Mitch's past, he was right to be concerned about him dating Buttercup too.
• Kick the Dog:
  • He uses the same intimidation tactic with every potential boyfriend his girls bring home. That includes Kris, who had never done anything to deserve it.
  • The "boyfriend killing machine". Whatever that was, it took its toll on Sanjay, one of Bubbles' previous boyfriends.
• Manly Tears: Cries these every time he realizes how much his little Girls have matured. It almost happens Once an Episode.
• Motor Mouth: Get him to talk about science or his Girls, and he'll keep you entertained for a long while.
• Nice Guy: While not perfect, the Professor is a doting father figure to the girls and a Good Samaritan overall.
• Non-Action Guy: He's still the Team Dad, but he mostly stays in behind his lab to help defend the town with his monster barrier.
• Not So Above It All: He keeps some of his Bumbling Dad moments from the original show, and he also befriends Brick after the latter shows interest in science.
• Odd Friendship: With Brick, after he encourages Blossom to live her life as she wants it instead of sacrificing it just because she's a hero, and the fact that he denies being in love with her. They also bond over their shared love for science.
• Out of Focus: Since the story is about The Girls and The Boys, The Professor doesn't get much development himself. He still appears Once an Episode, though.
• Parents as People: He's a Truly Single Parent with a perfectionist streak who can at times embarrass his daughters. With that said, he's a real sweetheart and he loves his perfect little girls unconditionally.
• Papa Wolf: Every time one of the girls gets a new potential boyfriend The Professor takes them to a separate room for a talk. What they actually talk about is a mystery. Apparently he can also feel, from miles away, when boys are ogling at his daughters.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: Butch, Boomer and especially Will definitely deserved to sweat at his hands.
• Science Hero: His role in the fighting. His monster barrier keeps the monsters out of the story (except the big ones).
• Ship Tease: Has a brief moment with Miss. Bellum, as Butch notes.
  Professor: “I appreciate your decision about the... damages downtown—”
  Ms. Bellum: “Professor, what you and your girls have done—are doing—for this city... we can't put any price on that. Townsville has no business objecting to higher taxes in exchange for all your family has done for us.”
  Professor: “Don't suppose I'm exempt from those, am I?”
  Ms. Bellum: “Ha. Unfortunately, no.”
  Professor: “I wasn't being serious.”
• Team Dad: Even more pronounced than in the original show, as he's working on a monster barrier to keep the town safe (and so that The Powerpuffs can finally have a normal teenagehood).
• The Professor: It's even in his name.
• The Smart Guy: Very science-savvy, which Brick quickly uses to get on his good graces.
• Tranquil Fury: When he's speaking to the Rowdyruffs, he uses his usual polite demeanors
• Truly Single Parent: The Professor has never been married and he does not appear to even be dating. Although Butch ships Ms. Bellum and the Professor.
• Twerp Sweating: Since The Girls have such odd taste in boys, he hands out some of these to make sure they don't get any ideas.

The Mayor

The (still) Mayor of Townsville.

---

• Cloud Cuckoolander: As bumbling as he was in the original cartoon.
• Demoted to Extra: Since the story is focused on The Girls and The Boys, he's mostly serves to warn The Girls (and The Boys) of the occasional monster attack.
• The Ditz: Not as highlighted here but still an example.
• Funny Phone Misunderstanding: Subverted. It seems he's having this with Bubbles when he says there's been a "break-in" at the prison instead of the usual "break-out". It turns out he's dead right (Princess had broken in to rescue her dad).
• Manchild: When the town suffers a huge power shortage:
  Mayor: “Blossom! It's all dark over here and I'm scared!”
• Moment Killer: Calls Blossom to warn her of a bank robbery while she's close to a Big Damn Kiss with Brick.
• Nervous Wreck: He hasn't mellowed out much since the original show, still behaving like a spaz anytime he calls the Powerpuff hotline.
• Permanent Elected Official: It seems that no one has run against him in the 12-year gap between the original show and this story.

Ms. Bellum

The Mayor's stunning personal assistant.

---

• Because You Were Nice to Me: Well, because you were nice to us. Ms. Bellum is still very grateful for all the work the Professor and his girls have been doing for the work, and elects to pay for Buttercup' and Butch's mess with the town's taxes instead of charging the Professor.
• Demoted to Extra: Similar to The Mayor, she's mostly Out of Focus compared to the other authority figures. She only speaks in chapter 2.
• Deadpan Snarker: She's as witty as before, even with The Professor.
  Ms. Bellum: “Professor, what you and your girls have done—are doing—for this city... we can't put any price on that. Townsville has no business objecting to higher taxes in exchange for all your family has done for us.”
  Professor: “Don't suppose I'm exempt from those, am I?”
  Ms. Bellum: “Ha. Unfortunately, no.”
• Ms. Fanservice: Like in the original show. Unsurprisingly, it's the first thing Butch notices about her.
• Nice Girl: Very forgiving towards Buttercup when the latter wreaks havoc in the town in chapter 2 while fighting Butch. She's also very polite and professional to Brick, despite the latter's history.
• Only Sane Woman: Time hasn't made her any less professional, as shown during her talk with The Professor, Ms. Keane and Brick regarding Butch and Buttercup's fight.
• Permanent Elected Official: Like the Mayor, she's been in office for at least 12 years. What a patient woman.
• Sexy Secretary: To the Mayor, though she also represents him during matters like the fight between Buttercup and Butch.
• Ship Tease: With The Professor. While it's uncertain if there's any romantic feelings there, they both playfully tease each other constantly like old friends. Butch ships them.

Mr. Moorbucks

Princess' father who spoils her rotten. He's also a bad egg in the Moorbuck's family, due to his lack of talent for business.

---

• Asshole Victim: Buttercup can't contain her excitement when he gets jailed.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He seems to care about Princess, who calls him up while in prison and speaks wonders of him (though the latter seems to have more to do with him being a walking money machine).
• The Ghost: Is only heard of by third parties during the story.
• Put on a Bus: Sent to prison late in chapter 1.
• Upper-Class Twit: Described as such by Mrs. Moorbucks, who refers to him as a bad egg in the Moorbucks family tree.

Villains

JS Inc

In General

Regarded as the leading distributor of Evil in America, JS Inc is an undercover evil corporation in which The Rowdyruff Boys work as field agents.

---

• Affably Evil: The few we see (sans Darius and Brick) seem to be rather friendly. The field agents even volunteer to help The Boys unpack when they're temporarily reassigned to Townsville.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Brick's description of their motto.
  Brick: "We kill people, we spread diseases, we start wars, we manufacture and distribute black market weaponry, we call when you've just sat down to dinner, we cause traffic jams, and in the summer we get together to club baby seals—that's the name of it, Club Baby Seal, get it?"
• Canon Foreigner: While they apparently always had at least a building on Townsville, there was no sign of them ever existing in the source material.
• Card-Carrying Villain: They have no problem using the label "evil" to describe themselves, and if Brick's description is of any indication, they're not exactly AntiVillains either.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: According to Penny, it's not unusual for the field agents to have relationships, with at least one of them throwing a wedding. Of course, we already know The Boys do.
• Evil, Inc.: They essentially operate as this.
• Hidden in Plain Sight: They have a giant facility on Townsville (the only town in the world with superheroes), but their public business profile doesn't go beyond "investment banking".
• Intergenerational Friendship: The field agents have one with The Rowdyruff Boys. They help them unpack in chapter 6A and The Boys in turn get them two gallons of coffee for their break.
• Greater-Scope Villain: We barely know anything about them, but they’re the organization The Boys work for, and the one Brick is planning to usurp.
• Mean Boss: Brick believes that most of the board directors (save for Cole) are complete assholes.
• Mr. Smith: Every board leader adopts the alias "John Smith" for public use only. It helps conceal their nasty business.
• Might Makes Right: Hence why everyone is constantly betraying and usurping each other, with Darius being the latest culprit.
• Shout-Out: One of the agents, named Lauren, had a wedding with a man named Craig.
• Tom the Dark Lord: Invoked. The board director's alias, John Smith, is as intentionally generic as it gets. Possibly to help hide the fact that it's adopted by everyone who usurps his position.
• Villain with Good Publicity: The professor talks fondly about JS as an investment banking company, implying this is the case amongst the Townsville townsfolk. Mrs. Moorbucks also has no problem namedropping John Smith himself in front of Blossom, albeit only citing him as Brick's employer.

Cole/John Smith

The former board director at JS, and Brick's primary employ- err... benefactor.

---

• A Father to His Men: According to Darius, he regards Brick as his protégé, and the latter trusts him enough to give him the files to some of his best projects.
• Affably Evil: Despite being in charge of Evil, Inc. he's said to be a very polite and understanding man, and he rewards Brick with a Cool Car for earning him a high value client. Brick refers to him as the Token Good Teammate in the board of directors.
• Alas, Poor Villain: The only way Brick confirms he's dead is when Penny uses the word "unfortunate" to refer to his departure.
• Benevolent Boss: He’s the only member of the board of directors whom Brick considers to be one.
• Canon Foreigner: As generic as his public alias is, there were no confirmed John Smiths in the source material.
• The Confidant: Brick had entrusted him with three personal projects of his (including an Antidote X fuelled fighter) before his demise. Sadly, they all get turned over to Darius after he assumes his position.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He apparently grew fond of Brick when the latter taught dance to the daughter of one of his friends, regarding him as his protégée.
• The Ghost: He's allegedly "a very busy man", so most of the meetings involving him are done by his representatives, and he's mostly heard of from external sources. We only hear from him directly in a letter to Brick, which is implied to be personal judging by his tone.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Subverted. Blossom certainly thinks this of him after learning of his position as Brick's benefactor from Mrs. Moorbucks. However, his role gets taken by Darius fairly early in the story, although the name JS still carries a lot of fanfare for the characters.
• Horrible Judge of Character: Brick considers him to be this for hiring Darius. He's proven right when doing so leads to his death.
• Insistent Terminology: He's Brick's benefactor, not employer. Brick works for nobody.
• Killed Offscreen: We only learn of his death when Brick calls up Darius to confront him about the stunt he pulled with Brick's fighter (which he had entrusted to John).
• Parental Substitute: Brick saw him as being on par with Mojo and HIM regarding this.
• Token Good Teammate: Downplayed, as he was still evil, but he was the only board member whom Brick didn't regard as a total Jerkass, and the only one to accept him as his own.
• Tom the Dark Lord: Even ignoring his alias, "Cole" isn't any better.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: After being set up as the Big Bad of the work, he gets fragged by Darius somewhere between chapters 4 and 6.

Darius/John Smith

The current board director at JS, and Brick's Arch-Enemy.

---

• Arch-Enemy: To Brick. The first time the latter speaks of him involves fantasizing about him having a terrible accident and being outed from the company.
• Bad Boss: He sends Brick's fighter prototype armed with Antidote X with the intention of mocking him, despite knowing it could easily kill him and his brothers.
• Canon Foreigner: No known villains went by Darius in the original show.
• Card-Carrying Villain: A much more effective one than Brick, manipulating his way into becoming the new head of Evil, Inc., and being sickeningly smug and self-satisfied about it.
• The Chessmaster: He clearly knows of Brick's plan against JS, and constantly finds new ways to keep the teenager at bay, while also taking some time to gloat about his victories.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: He manages to be more corrupt than the Evil, Inc.. he apparently took over. It was his suggestion (not Smith's, the boys' superior) to give the boys a "vacation" in Townsville, which kicks off the story.
• Dragon Ascendant: After killing Cole, he becomes the new JS.
• Dragon with an Agenda: Like Brick, only he's more successful in his coup.
• Evil Is Petty: Especially in regards to Brick.
  • Sends his company's best agents on vacation to Townsville just because he doesn't like Brick and knows just how much he hates the town.
  • Showing off Brick's secret Antidote X fighter prototype in front of Townsville (thus gaining the attention of the Powerpuff Girls) just to get a rise out of him makes it clear how petty his hatred of Brick is.
  • He childishly refuses to address Brick's question regarding the previous John Smith until the latter gives up and uses his given name, "Cole".
• Evil Virtues: Effort. He doesn't like Brick because he thinks that he was handed everything he's got on a silver plater due to having superpowers and being in Cole's good grace. He believes that, underneath his delusions of grandeur, Brick is just a bratty kid who's way beyond his depth. Of course, to prove his point he resorts to stealing Brick's own designs for an aerial combat fighter and using it against him. Granted, Darius did this because he didn't believe Brick's claims that he designed it without any help from the superiors.
• Faux Affably Evil: In chapter 6, he purposefully puts up a professional and polite front when talking to Brick, despite having just sent his own fighter to his position with the intent to injure/kill him. Brick is clearly having none of it.
  Darius: (regarding a third-degree burn caused by his fighter) “What's that? A sunburn? Tsk tsk tsk, Brick. Even superbeings such as yourself need sun protection.”
• Foil: He's what Brick wishes he was: A Big Bad Card-Carrying Villain and The Chessmaster. Instead, he's a Big Bad Wannabe with Chronic Hero Syndrome tendencies who isn't really in control of anything anymore. Furthermore, Brick finds himself distracted from his plans due to his affection for Blossom, while Darius, motivated by his petty hatred for Brick, creates a potential hindrance for his company (see Nice Job Fixing It, Villain below).
• From Nobody to Nightmare: One of the reasons why Brick despises him so much. He joined JS Inc in his twenties while not offering as many contributions as the Boys, but managed to manipulate his way to the top before usurping Cole's position and killing him, becoming the new John Smith.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Takes Cole's spot as this as the new John Smith in chapter 6. He's the Big Bad of Brick's story, and clearly has enough power to usurp the entire town if he wished.
• Green-Eyed Monster: He's clearly upset that Brick rose in the ranks only because he was born with superpowers, unlike him and the others who had to work for their position.
• Hero Killer: Well, Anti-Villain Killer, but he does kill the previous John Smith, Cole.
• Insistent Terminology: After killing the previous John Smith, he insists on being called his alias.
• It's Personal with the Dragon: Brick and him are both subodinates of Cole and are in constant feud with each other.
• Jerkass: He makes Brick look polite in comparison. Even Butch sees him as a prick.
• Jerkass Has a Point:
  • He's correct in accusing Brick of being a danger to the company, as the latter had been planning The Coup against the company for quite a while.
  • He also rightfully points out the latter's repeated failure to maintain a low profile in Townsville with his brothers, as not only had both Butch and Boomer gained a lot of unwanted attention in a very short span of time, (the former for his fight with Buttercup, the latter for his romance with Bubbles) but, as of chapter 10, they both have ratted the company out to their significant others out of spite for Brick.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
  • Sending The Rowdyruff Boys on vacation to Townsville to mess with Brick ends up instigating their redemption arcs when they meet with the girls again.
  • As of chapter 10, thanks to Butch and Boomer, both Buttercup and Bubbles are now aware of JS Inc's practices.
• Lack of Empathy: During his conversation with Brick, he casually dismisses Cole's death when asked about him, instead seizing the opportunity to flaunt about his newfound success as the new John Smith.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: Petty as he might be, seeing him knocking Brick down a few pegs is quite satisfying.
• Smug Super: He's the king of smug when interacting with Brick, antagonizing the boy knowing that there's nothing he can do about it. Despite being a human and Brick being a superbeing, Darius doesn't show this side of him until he's holding all the cards.
• The Starscream: Downplayed due to the Chronic Backstabbing Disorder the company has, but it's implied his usurping of Cole's position wasn't a fair one.
• Young and in Charge: He's a twentysomething who joined the company two years prior to becoming its leader.

Penny

The receptionist at JS, and a Cool Big Sis for the Rowdyruff Boys.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: Well, she's evil; there's no doubt about that. The question lies in whether or not she really cares about the boys or (as the final scene in chapter 12 suggests) if she's just using them.
• Affably Evil: She's friendly and congenial to The Girls, a caring motherly figure to The Boys, and Brick's first Morality Pet. She's also a high-ranking employee at Evil, Inc., and planning a revolution of her own with Mrs. Moorbucks.
• A Mother to Her Men: She treats Brick, Butch, and Boomer like little siblings or even as surrogate kids. Boomer certainly sees her as such.
• Benevolent Boss: Even without her motherly relationship with The Boys, she gifts her fellow agents with coffee, and even buys Princess a set of knives for Christmas.
• Best Years of Your Life: Apparently subverted according to Brick.
  Penny: "How are you guys adjusting? Is high school as fun as I remember it?"
  Brick: "If the look on your face is any indication, I'd say the answer is a definite yes."
• Beware the Nice Ones: The first thing Bubbles notes about her besides her kind demeanor is her hidden gun. The second thing is her awareness of people using X-ray vision on her.
• Blatant Lies: In chapter 2, when she gets sick of Brick's complaints:
  Penny: "Anyway. I gotta get back to work."
  Brick: "It's after hours,"
  Penny: "Now, now. You know evil never sleeps, Brick."
  Brick: "Ha. Ha."
• Canon Foreigner: Justified, as she doesn't live on Townsville.
• The Confidant: Brick allows himself to be slightly vulnerable when around her, and lets her know in chapter 2 that he's homesick.
• Cool Big Sis: Towards the Boys, though it arguably crosses with Parental Substitute from Boomer's perspective.
• Co-Dragons: With Mrs. Moorbucks, though it's unclear how much of her loyalty lies with JS.
• Deadpan Snarker: Her usual demeanor, especially when dealing with Brick:
  Brick: “The regular classes were agonizing. I just got bumped up to the Advanced Placement program.”
  Penny: “I never would've guessed,”
• Dragon with an Agenda: Like Brick and Darius, she seems to be operating under the table regarding JS.
• Excellent Judge of Character:
  • She knows just how dependent Brick is on work, and figures out the nature of his phone call in chapter 2 rather easily.
  • It applies to his brothers as well:
    Penny: “I'm not sending your brothers out by themselves. You really think if I send those two out to get two gallons of coffee that I am actually going to get two gallons of coffee?”
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Downplayed, as it isn't clear just how much she truly loves The Boys. On the one hand, she does give them life advice and acts like a motherly figure towards them. On the other, her scheme with Mrs. Moorbucks in chapter 12 implies she's starting to view them as a lost cause.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While she jokes about it, she's clearly not okay with Butch's flirting, as he's 17 and she's in her thirties.
• The Gadfly: As shown in her conversations with Brick.
  Penny: “Call me back when you've got a girlfriend,”
• Hidden Depths: Despite working an office job, interior design is her stated passion, and she puts it on full use while choosing an apartment for The Boys in Townsville.
• Intergenerational Friendship: With her three best field agents, the Rowdyruffs, who see her as their big sister.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Even though she's his Morality Pet, Brick keeps his plan to usurp JS from her. She apparently has a plan of her own, though.
• Morality Pet: While she's likely no more virtuous than him, she's the one Brick calls when he needs someone to lean on.
• My Girl Back Home: To The Boys, although it’s more like a Cool Big Sis situation than a romantic one (although Butch does ask her out on occasion).
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: When Bubbles uses her X-ray vision to see her gun, Penny instantly notices and looks at her, causing Bubbles to become more wary of her.
• Punch-Clock Villain: She's a secretary at her company, so she leaves the dirty work to The Boys. As of chapter 12, however, she's seemingly Co-Dragons with Mrs. Moorbucks.
• Sassy Black Woman: She's dark skinned and her tongue is very sharp.
• The Tease: Playfully flirts with The Professor after meeting him.
• Villainous Friendship: With Mrs. Moorbucks, and possibly with Princess as well.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Seems to view The Girls as a lost cause, and is dangerously close to thinking this about The Boys too.

Brick’s Clients

Penelope Moorbucks

Princess' mother who loves to organize fund-raising events. She's also a bit of a perfectionist.

---

• Affably Evil: She's polite and professional (if a bit smug) to everyone she meets, but is also a shady Manipulative Bitch. Borders on Faux Affably Evil as some of her darker actions come to light.
• Ascended Extra: She was The Ghost in the source material, only being referenced once for a joke about how much Princess hates her. Then she comes back from France...
• Awful Wedded Life: According to her, Princess' dad was a bad egg in the family due to his lack of talent for business and his lack of restraint when it comes to spending the family's money. She allegedly spent a lot of her married life cleaning up his messes.
• Bad Samaritan: Possibly.
  • She is clearly in contact with or knows about JS Inc. She also persuaded Brick to do another dance with Blossom by claiming Brick still owed her for Reccardi, and repeats this process on numerous occasions to assert her dominance over the superpowered boy.
    Brick: “I was under the impression it was a favor.”
    Mrs. Moorbucks: “An honest mistake,”
  • In chapter 5 she name drops a European company similar to JS Inc, asking to Brick to keep a potential partnership in mind. The implication is she is somehow working for them, making her appear quite shady, especially after chapter 12 reveals she's scheming with Penny behind The Boys' back.
• "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: She repeatedly forces Brick to work for her by using the favors she did for him as leverage. He's clearly uncomfortable with this power dynamic but goes through with them regardless.
• Charity Ball: Organizes one in chapter 3, with Brick and Blossom as the main dancers.
• The Chessmaster: Implied to be crafting an Evil Plan involving The Girls and The Boys with her daughter and Penny.
• Deus ex Machina: A variation. When Bubbles is trying to get Princess to invite her and her sisters to her party (to keep The Boys in line), this woman comes out of nowhere and takes a liking to Bubbles on the spot, getting her and her sisters invited almost instantly. To be fair, had she not appeared on time Blossom would've likely gotten the mayor or the principal to force Princess' hand, so the events would've played out the same.
• Dirty Coward: "Coincidentally" leaves Townsville for a tour before summoning a giant horde of monsters to it.
• The Dreaded: Princess crumbles like a wet tissue when she sees her for the first time in years.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She seems to truly love her daughter, and believes transferring her to a boarding school in Paris is the best for her.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While she uses Brick as live bait for her little experiment, she didn't expect a monster to cause a power shortage in the monster barrier, so civilian casualties weren't in her agenda. Not that she cared much.
• The Fashionista: She is always dressed in elegant dresses and is given an elegant demeanor.
• Tranquil Fury: When Brick implies she's not trustworthy, she calmly but sternly deconstructs his claim by breaking down everything she's done for him over the course of the book.
• Herald: She starts the events that eventually lead to a bettering relationship between Brick and Blossom, who refused to be in the same room together before then.
• The High Queen: She's regal enough that she quiets down Princess with little protest.
• Hypocrite: For a self-proclaimed philanthropist, she sure puts a lot of money and effort in creating a monster bait, and then unleashing it on Townsville.
• Gaslighting: She endangers Brick's life by secretly installing a monster bait on him. When he finds out and calls her out on it, she uses the favors she did for him as leverage to keep him in line. This makes him back off and apologize when he can't come back with a retort.
• Lack of Empathy: While she didn't expect the wave of monsters to break through Townsville's barrier, she also displays no remorse for the thousands of lives she risked with her little experiment.
• My Beloved Smother: While she gave her a window of 17 years to prepare, she is adamant that Princess graduates on the International School of Toulouse, even taking her by force when she tries to break her dad out of prison.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Gets a little too excited while explaining to Brick how the device she'd implanted on him could've set an average human on fire if it exploded.
• Non-Idle Rich: She is always working on something or other, since she's occupied cleaning the mess her husband left behind.
• Ojou: Of the Proper Lady variety.
• Omniglot: Fluent in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Chinese. At least.
• The Perfectionist: She goes to extreme lengths to get Blossom and Brick to dance together, even spending millions of dollars on leverage to have over them, since she knows they're the best in the business. Even after Brick insists he dance with Cindy, she manages to convince Blossom to participate.
• Proper Lady: Arguably more than Blossom, and she's upset that her daughter doesn't take after her.
• Shout-Out: Her butler's name is Alfred.
• Socialite: A little strange considering some of her other traits.
• Smug Smiler: As she knows she has leverage over Brick, she allows herself to act smug when getting him to do as she pleases. Blossom even internally calls her "the queen of smug".
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a harsh one to Brick after he accuses her of breaking his trust by using him as a guinea pig for her tests.
  Mrs. Moorbucks: “I'm sorry, Brick. Am I to understand that you don't trust me? After I agreed to pay your rent? After all the people I've introduced you to? After not only sharing with you some very sensitive information about our new technology, but including you in its hands-on testing? What's to stop you from running back to JS to share this news with them? Hm? And me, well, here I am, placing my faith in a very young man —talented, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that you are quite young— and trusting that he will be able to deliver on the promise he made to me a mere two months ago? I mean, of the two involved parties, who do you think should have difficulty extending trust, Brick?”
• Villain Respect:
  • She's impressed with Bubbles' special ability, and invites her and her sisters to Princess' party as a result.
  • She considers Brick to be an exceptional young man, which is why she constantly requests jobs and favors from him.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Since she's a big fan of charity events, her reputation in Townsville is rather high, especially when compared to her husband and daughter.
• Villainous Friendship: She's apparently a close friend to Penny, and cordially asks her to address her by her first name.
• Wealthy Philanthropist: She defines herself as this, although some of her actions contradict this claim.

Reccardi

An art collector and a highly coveted client for JS Inc.

---

• Affably Evil: He accepts jobs from shady organizations like JS Inc and Brick, but he's quite cordial when talking to the latter, clearly interested in hearing his story.
• Consummate Professional: Brick knows he doesn't get swayed easily, so he knows deep down that any dancer who is not Blossom isn't going to impress him.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Boomer calls him "Ricky Ricardo", which gets him banned from Brick's meeting with him.
• It Was a Gift: Brick's painting that he sculpted as Blossom danced ends up going to him as a parting gift.
• Nerves of Steel: When he realizes Brick is a special agent, he initially believes he's there to kill him. This doesn't stop him from having a formal conversation with him until Brick proves him wrong.
• Shout-Out: He's named after Chris Reccardi, one of the writers and story boarders for the source material.
• Smile of Approval: Gives one to Brick during their meeting. Brick tries not to smile back.
• Villain Respect:
  • Thanks to Blossom, Brick earns his respect through his dancing abilities and his skills in art, and Reccardi later asks him to consider working for him.
  • Despite being on opposite ends of the morality spectrum, he also admires Blossom for her impeccable dancing and ability to flawlessly freestyle Brick's plan.
• Villain with Good Publicity: He's little more than a wealthy, renowned, art collector in everyone's eyes. Only Brick and Mrs. Moorbucks (that we know of), know of his influence in the evil industry.

Joseph

An Modern Girl coordinator and another client of Brick's.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: Brick thinks he recognizes him from an event regarding JS Inc, and Joseph himself seems to spot the thread regarding his decision to credit himself as John Smith. With that said, it's unclear whether he was a client or a potential one.
• Broken Pedestal: It's not like Brick admired him or anything, but after learning of his attempted recruiting of Blossom for a lewd magazine, he loses any and all respect that he might've had for him, having to summon all the strength he can muster not to tear the paper with his phone number to shreds.
• Dirty Old Man: Aside from asking Blossom to pose for FHN, he gets very insistent when asking Brick for his (non-provocative) pictures of her, to the point of being willing to pay him 70% of Dimitri's original fee.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While he's shameless about asking Blossom to pose for lewd pictures, he makes a point of saying that he will wait until she's of legal age, although this might be for pragmatic reasons.
• Jerkass: He forces an extremely uncomfortable Brian to ask Blossom to pose for a lewd magazine. He also condescendingly refuses to treat Brick as a professional photographer because of his age.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Rude as he was about it, firing his supposedly professional photographer Dimitri in favor of the younger but more professional Brick was one of the smartest decisions he ever made.
• Mean Boss: He cuts Brian off on multiple occasions while the latter points out the legal ramifications of the underage Blossom appearing in a lewd magazine.
• Only One Name: Lampshaded by Brick.
  Brick: "You guys and your single title names,"
  Joseph: "One name is often all you need, Brick."
• Smug Snake: Brick notes that he's quite smug when interacting with him.
• Villain Respect: He admires Brick's photography skills, and writes him his number a result.

Independent Villains

HIM

A mysterious demon and the surrogate father for The Rowdyruff Boys, until Brick got them out after solving one of his riddles.

---

• Abusive Parents: Being The Devil, the way he raised The Rowdyruff Boys is quite unorthodox, to say the least.
  • Brick describes His parenthood as "being under a contract", Considering they were five when said "contract" started, (and considering the literal hell Brick had to go through to Win Your Freedom) it's clear HIM didn't give them a choice in the matter.
  • While it isn't made clear, Bubbles fears He manipulated an insecure 11 year-old Boomer into signing a Deal with the Devil in exchange for a special ability.
  • In chapter 7, He sends a Fog of Doom that feeds on turmoil to Brick's location, knowing full well the latter is at his most conflicted regarding his feelings for Blossom.
  • In chapter 10, he traps The Boys in a vortex, resulting in Butch getting disemboweled. He couldn't give less of a shit.
• Affably Evil: He takes Brick's Deadpan Snarker tendencies in stride, and is always happy to have an amicable chat with him on multiple occasions (even if the latter doesn't return the favor).
• Always Chaotic Evil: He basically IS Satan, so it's a given.
• Ambiguously Gay: Similar to the original show's teasing with the brainwashed Professor, here he teases Brick seductively while adopting Blossom's figure, voice, and smell.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Of pure evil of course.
• Archnemesis Dad: Brick certainly seems to think so, even though Him seems to be trying to reconnect with him (in His own way, of course).
• A Chat with Satan: Brick has a very brief chat with Him in Chapter 7, he becomes a lot more chatty in Chapter 11.
• Bad Samaritan: Being the Devil, he has a reputation as this. Before the events of the story, He gives an 11 year-old Boomer (one of his surrogate sons) his Beautiful Singing Voice powers, but Bubbles fears that someday he will return to collect his payment.
• Beard of Evil: He's depicted as sporting his trademark goatee.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He playfully teases Brick's feelings for Blossom like a normal father would, only to then summon a Fog of Doom that feeds on conflicted hearts.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Like in the original show, He's evil incarnate, and he revels in it.
• The Chessmaster: Whatever his master plan is (if he has any beyond toying with Brick for the sake of it), there's no doubt He's holding all the cards, and it's clear He could crush all His enemies if so He desires.
• The Corrupter: The Rowdyruff Boys were already evil, but it's implied their time with HIM turned them from Enfant Terrible to Teens Are Monsters.
• Disappointed in You: Calls Brick a disappointment after meeting with him in chapter 7.
  HIM: “You were a source of great pride for me. And, naturally, great disappointment.”
• Disproportionate Retribution: Encourages Brick's accidental near-killing of Butch by pointing out the latter's rebellious personality.
• The Dreaded: Although The Rowdyruff Boys are accustomed to him, The Powerpuff Girls still shudder in fear when His name is uttered.
• Emotion Eater: Not Him, per se (at least not literally), but His Fog of Doom in chapter 7 literally feeds on turmoil.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Zig-Zagged. Despite his Abusive Parents tendencies, it seems He really does love Brick in his own way, though (being the Devil) it often manifests in a twisted Tough Love way, fitting for His Infernal Majesty.
  Brick: “Whaddaya want?”
  HIM: “Just checking up on you. I worry about you, you know.”
  Brick: “You tried stabbing me in the chest last time,”
  HIM: “That wasn't me, that was just a thing I was playing with. I just put it out there. It just so happened to go after you.”
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's offended when Brick accuses Him of being behind the giant monster horde in chapter 10, calling it "pitiful", and saying He would've been more original than that.
• Evil Overlord: He's Satan so this is basically a given.
• Eviler than Thou: As much as he wishes to, Brick will never be as evil as Him.
• Flaming Devil: As campy and devilish as His original counterpart.
• Fog of Doom: One of His newest "toys". He unleashes it on The Girls and The Boys in chapter 7.
• Greater-Scope Villain: While he isn't really an active threat anymore (or at least not a recurring one), His dark presence is felt by both The Girls and The Boys on multiple occasions, not to mention He's part of the reason The Rowdyruff Boys are so troubled in the first place.
• It Amused Me: His reasoning for his vortex fiasco in chapter 10. As He puts it: "eternity is boring".
• No Sense of Personal Space:
  • After briefly slowing down time to talk to Brick, His shadowy form creepily stalks on the rest of the team and slithers past them, before intentionally settling in on Blossom, to Brick's displeasure.
  • In chapter 10, He briefly shape-shifts into Blossom and taunts Brick (His own surrogate son!) by seducing him. Gross.
• Not Me This Time: As it turns out, He is not behind Brick's dreams featuring Blossom, as much as Brick tries to insist that He is.
  HIM: “Even if I could, I wouldn't have to make you do or feel or dream anything. I'm just a spectator. You're doing fine all by yourself.”
• Lack of Empathy: Comes with being the Devil. He turns Butch (his surrogate son)'s near-death experience into a lesson on control for Brick.
• Parental Favoritism: He often shows up to check on Brick, and gave Boomer his own special ability when he asked for it (though Bubbles fears He didn't do it out of love for him), but He never shows any concern towards Butch, even approving of Brick accidentally disemboweling him.
• Sadist: Takes extreme pleasure in eliciting negative feelings from others, especially from Brick, who claims he has none.
• Shipper on Deck: While it's more for His sick amusement, He constantly tries to pry Brick's feelings for Blossom out of him, and taunts him on his erotic dreams of her.
• Slasher Smile: That's where Butch probably got it from.
• Sore Loser: Brick's memories imply that He wasn't very happy about his surrogate son solving His riddle and earning The Boys' freedom.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Shows an evil version of this in chapter 10, when he expresses worry regarding Brick's health, before proceeding to taunt him with his nightmares.
• Troll: His mind games with Brick show this side of Him, with a side of Sadist added to it.
• Villain Has a Point: He always spits facts regarding Brick's repressed insecurities and feelings, much to the latter's chagrin.
• Villain Respect: Despite being displeased with losing him, He clearly respects Brick's ability to escape His riddles, which is probably the reason He only manifests himself to him and not his other sons.

Mojo Jojo

The Arch-Enemy of The Powerpuff Girls, and the original creator and father of The Rowdyruff Boys, who still wants to rule the world with his inventions.

---

• Archnemesis Dad: Brick clearly has no respect for him anymore, and has no qualms with casually dropping him down a pit while on his way to saving Blossom.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He's as quirky as he was in the original show, but comes dangerously close to killing The Girls in chapter 9, thanks to his Antidote X ray.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: A classic example.
  Blossom: “Mojo, why do you have a switch to turn the robot on and a button to turn it off?”
  Mojo Jojo: “Do not question the complexity of my grand designs! My designs are too complicated and too intricately designed for puny brains such as yours to comprehend, so if I were to explain it to you, I would become veeeeery frustrated at your inability to process the information I was giving you—”
• Came Back Strong: After a year of absence, he got his hands on Antidote X and made sure to unleash it on his enemies.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Unlike Brick, he has no regrets about being a destructive maniac.
• Demoted to Extra: Goes from the Big Bad of the original show to your average Villain of the Week in this work. Justified, as it's implied Mojo is now past his prime and isn't as active as before.
• Disappointed in You: Calls Brick an utter disappointment when the latter visits him in prison.
• Ditzy Genius: Is able to create highly advanced robots and has a security camera system that goes inside the prison system. He's also enough of an idiot to create a blatantly obvious self-destruct button for the aforementioned robots.
• Enemy Mine: Defied in chapter 9, when both him and Blossom are trapped in his damaged Robo Jojo, he pretends to join her only to instantly press the self-destruct button on the robot and leave her trapped inside.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • In line with his Spock Speak, he finds cursing very disrespectful.
    Mojo Jojo: “While I may be a villain, I do expect a certain amount of respect, courtesy, politeness, even from you, my most haaaated enemies, so zip up that insolent little foul mouth of yours and learn some respectful English!”
  • He refuses to sell out to JS Inc when Brick offers him a job at the corporation. Subverted, as his main reasoning is that he doesn't consider them evil enough.
• Evil Gloating: He gloats to Brick that he's too late to save Blossom before being dropped down a pit by his surrogate son.
• Evil Laugh: He usually delivers an awesome one while attacking The Girls.
• Friendly Enemy: Has a brief moment of this with Bubbles, though it seems one-sided on her part.
  Blossom: “We were wondering when you'd show up again, Mojo.”
  Mojo Jojo: “Aw. Are you actually saying that you missed me?”
  Bubbles: “A little.”
• Green and Mean: He's mean and has green skin, both courtesy of Chemical X.
• I Have No Son!: His reaction when Brick saves Blossom from his self-destructing Robo Jojo.
• Jerkass: Time hasn't changed this chimp's grumpy, violent, and destructive demeanor.
• Motor Mouth: If you don't make him shut up, he'll ramble about the tiniest subject for hours, even when trapped inside a self-destructing robot!
• Near-Villain Victory: As stated above, his fight with The Girls in chapter 10 would've ended in a victory if it hadn't been for The Boys.
• Sadist: When Brick is trying to save Blossom, Mojo begins to gleefully taunt him with a You Are Too Late speech before being thrown out of the way.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gives Brick a savage one, calling him out for the Big Bad Wannabe he is deep down.
  Mojo Jojo: “You say you rejected a destiny that holds no option for you other than failure, but did you ever make the effort? You accuse me, and those with similar inclinations like me in this city, of wasting our efforts, of essentially not being 'evil enough,' the Devil Himself included, the absolute paragon of Evil, the very Being who recreated you! You have no grasp of how significant your origins are! You are a part of something you cannot even begin to comprehend, and instead of taking that opportunity and living up to the responsibilities you shouldered—”
  Brick: “I shouldered nothing. I was a kid, a stupid kid who didn't know any better—”
  Mojo Jojo: “And remarkably enough, nothing has changed. Listen closely so that you may remember this later and I will not have to repeat myself since you have already listened to it and taken this into consideration. You may submit to the idea that being evil means manipulating the world from behind a dark, secret curtain of secrecy, but in the end, how much more devastation will be brought about by you killing whatever rich person it is that you kill who has a lot of money because they are rich, than by destroying those that signify eternal hope and salvation? Those that have become symbols of love and beauty—”
• You Are Too Late: Says this word for word to Brick in regards to Blossom's safety. He gets dropped down a pit in return.

Sedusa

A half-succubi who brainwashes boys into doing her bidding.

---

• Ambiguously Human: She can disguise as an old lady by simply wearing a wig, but she's also able to control her superpowered hair at will.
• Beauty Is Bad: Boomer notes that she's very attractive, but it doesn't make her any less evil.
• Berserk Button: She doesn't take it well to someone being unaffected by her charms. When Boomer becomes too much of an annoyance and she can't brainwash him, she loses it and attempts to kill him.
• Didn't See That Coming: She had no idea her latest victim would be acquainted with Bubbles, much less be her boyfriend.
• Dirty Coward: Abandons her cat while fleeing The Girls' justice, and uses a bunch of brainwashed teenage boys to be her bodyguards while she escapes.
• Double Entendre: She has a purring cat, and she encourages Boomer to pet it.
• Evil Is Petty: Kidnaps several teenage boys to use as butlers for her own amusement, and loses her temper against Boomer when the latter gets picky with the record player.
• Femme Fatale: Brick notes she's quite the stunning woman, something that she uses to her advantage when brainwashing boys.
• For the Evulz: Unlike most other villains of the work, there doesn't seem to be an ulterior motive to her plans; she's just The Hedonist with brainwashing powers.
• The Hedonist: She has the power to charm and control the minds of teenage boys, but uses it mostly to please herself, and has no problem discarding them when they stop entertaining her.
• Karma Houdini: While her subjects are all freed, she escapes the scene of the crime in chapter 10A before The Girls arrive, using her Brainwashed and Crazy minions to cover her escape.
• Master of Disguise: Disguises herself as an old lady to kidnap teenage boys. Later, she dresses as a Ms. Fanservice to try and seduce Brick.
• Mind Control: With her cat and a disguise, she uses this to abduct boys and force them into slavery.
• Not Distracted by the Sexy: Both Brick and Boomer reject her advances, forcing her to resort to other methods of luring them into her place to eat them.
• Pedo Hunt: Brick is quick to call her a pedophile when she tries to seduce him. The fact that she uses teenage boys to pamper her also has some creepy implications.
• Prehensile Hair: Uses it to choke Boomer when the latter unintentionally blows his cover.
• Related in the Adaptation: The cat from Cat Man Do is revealed to be her cat in this work.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Hightails it when she learns Bubbles is her latest captive's girlfriend, and is heading his way.
• The Vamp: She doesn't use her beauty to her advantage in Townsville anymore, but is not above trying this with Brick in Citisville. She fails.
• Villainous Breakdown: When she realizes Boomer is affiliated with Bubbles and the Powerpuff Girls, she instantly drops her charming façade and goes full rampage mode on the Rowdyruff.
• Womanchild: The only reason she creates boy-toys is to use them to pamper herself.
• Would Hurt a Child: Not only does she routinely kidnap little boys to use as playthings, but she also tries to strangle Boomer to death with her hair after he reveals himself to be Bubbles' boyfriend.

Fuzzy Lumpkins

A hillbilly monster with a short temper who lives in the forest.

---

• The Aloner: He mostly keeps to himself, and he hates trespassers.
• Butt-Monkey: It's all but stated Buttercup makes a habit out of provoking him for fun. Luckily, the one time she goes with Butch she decides not to ruin their relaxed atmosphere.
• The Brute: Used to be Buttercup's main punching bag who fights back, before Butch showed up.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: While strolling through the forest, Buttercup advises Butch not to get close to his lawn, as he's not welcome to strangers.
• The Ghost: Doesn't really appear in the story, but is mentioned by Buttercup at one point.
• Retired Monster: After the Girls became stronger with time, he was implied to have sought retirement in his old hut.

The Amoeba Boys

A trio of anthropomorphic protozoan villians who once came close to destroying Townsville by accidentally spreading a virus. While said virus was contained and every infectees cured, it still affects any newcomers.

---

• The Ghost: They don't appear in the story, but their virus from Geshundfight does.
• Harmless Villain: Judging from how The Girls speak of them, they never managed to do any actual evil before retiring.
• Retired Monster: They were implied to have left their life of crime before the events of the story (not that they were much of a threat to begin with).
• Small Role, Big Impact: They're absent from the story, but the second half of chapter 8 revolves around The Boys catching their virus and The Girls having to take care of them.

Squatter Gunmen

A team of terrorists who raid Townsville High and take most of its occupants hostage.

---

• Agony of the Feet: Their leader gets his own bullet lodged in his foot, fired back by Brick's mouth.
• Asshole Victim: After the fight is over, Butch casually kneecaps one of them with his own gun. Considering what they had just attempted to do, nobody (except Blossom and Bubbles, albeit briefly) feels the need to call him out on it.
• A-Team Firing: During the fight, they don't actually manage to hit anyone, despite many of them wielding automatic guns. Bonus points for one of the squads actually being called "A-Team".
• BFG: While being held hostage, Boomer casually compliments his hostage taker's spectre.
• Bullying a Dragon: Downplayed. They are well aware of how powerful the Powerpuff Girls are, and it's only after they take most of the school hostage when they start acting smug around them.
  • Played Straight a minute later, since they didn't know Brick, Butch and Boomer had powers too. They really had no idea of how screwed they were when they threatened Brick.
  • During the ensuing shootout, one of them grabs Boomer of all people as a hostage, which quickly proves to be the wrong choice.
• Canon Foreigner: They aren't implied to have crossed paths with The Girls in the original show. Justified, as they likely have been planning their raid for a long time.
• Can't Take Criticism: While the leader was already hostile towards Brick for his defiance, it's the latter's Do Wrong, Right speech that makes him lose it.
• Child Hater: If the fact that they choose a high school to occupy is any indication.
• Combat Pragmatist: After all Hell breaks loose, four of them try to get a hold of a child at random to have an advantage over their attackers. It doesn't work.
• Evil Is Petty: Their leader bullies The Girls around when his men take Townsville High hostage, and is quick to fire at Brick (who is 17) for insulting him.
• Evil Gloating: Briefly engage in this when they have the entire school (and The Girls) at their mercy at the gymnasium.
  Blossom: (as Buttercup enters, ready to fight) “Buttercup, no!”
  Buttercup: “Why not?”
  Squad leader: (smugly) “Because there's too many of us. Right, Blossom?”
• Hate Sink: Unlike most villains shown in this story (and in the original show), these guys have absolutely no redeeming or entertaining traits to them.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Brick does a Bullet Catch with his mouth and later a Catch and Return at full speed against the leader's foot.
  • Butch shoots some of them with their own guns.
• Hostage Situation: Responsible for starting one at the gym during AP classes in chapter 5.
• Jerkass: Their leader's unbearable and petty behavior towards The Girls and Brick motivates the latter to help save the school from them.
  Squad leader: “I could shoot you. I could shoot all your God damn friends. You'd all be dead in a matter of seconds. It's that easy.”
• Oh, Crap!: When Brick reveals he has powers like The Girls (and, unlike them, doesn't hesitate to apply Evil vs. Evil), they all quickly lose it.
• Pet the Dog: For what's worth, their leader doesn't shoot Kris when Brick dares him to (despite having hostages to spare), instead turning his attention on the latter. Might fall into Pragmatic Villainy considering Kris was Blossom's boyfriend at the time, so it probably wasn't in their best interest to off him so quickly.
• Sadist: While most of them are generally silent, and are quite professional about their deed, their leader seems to be taking delight in taunting The Girls, and gets a little too grim when threatening Brick.
  Squad leader: “You ever seen someone's brains on the outside of their body?”
• Shoot the Hostage: Attempted with Kris and accomplished with Brick (too bad the latter has powers).
• Smug Snake: Their leader thinks he's doing a Badass Boast when he taunts Brick, but it quickly falls into this when the latter reveals his skin stops bullets.
• Snark-to-Snark Combat: The leader briefly engages in this with Brick before losing his patience.
  Brick: “I take it you're the leader,”
  Squad leader: “Gettin' a good education, aren't you?”
  Brick: “Not from here,”
• The Sociopath: If taking an entire school hostage just to make a statement (with pride, no less) isn't enough, then casually firing at one of said students for insulting you (without knowing he was Immune to Bullets) definitely makes them this.
• Stupid Crooks: Their leader falls for Brick's I Shall Taunt You fallacy and gets twelve of his men to turn their attention to him in return.
• Stupid Evil: Brick calls them out for choosing a High School of all places to take over despite having enough weaponry to take down a bank.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Attempted. Their leader threatens to have twelve of his men empty their guns on Brick's face. He only hurts himself.
• Uncertain Doom: Butch casually states that he shot some of them with their own weapons, so it's not made clear if any of them were killed during the attack, or if they were merely injured.
• Would Hurt a Child: As the Townsville High students (especially Kris, Cindy and Robin) can attest to.
  • Their leader also didn't know Brick was Immune to Bullets before putting one in his mouth.
