She's the most aggressive and confrontational sister, and has gained a reputation among the bad guys of Townsville as the most vicious of the trio.

A [[Mad Scientist]] chimp with great intelligence, notable for his pseudo-Japanese accent and his convoluted, repetitive manner of speaking (inspired by the speech patterns of characters in the English dub of ''[[Speed Racer]]''). As revealed in the episode "Mr. Mojo's Rising", and expanded upon in ''The Powerpuff Girls Movie'', Mojo Jojo was 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 jealousy of the affection they received from the Professor that he did not, though he never deserved it due to his destructive nature. According to a countdown of the 10 worst villains in the series held by Cartoon Network, he's the number 1 worst villain in the series.

{{quote| Voice by [[Tom Kane]]}}
{{quote|Voice by [[Tom Kane]]}}


A mysterious, supernatural, red-skinned, effeminate (apparently androgynous) and immortal caricature of [[Satan]]. He is the ultimate embodiment of pure 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 falsetto voice, to a deep, booming, demonic voice. He is also the Girl's most dangerous foe as well as the hardest villain to defeat. He's one of the girl's main enemies, but in particular an enemy for Bubbles.

The Powerpuff Girls

As depicted in the opening sequence of each episode, the Powerpuff Girls were created by Professor Utonium in an attempt to create the "perfect little girl" using a mixture of sugar, spice, and everything nice. However, he accidentally spilled Chemical X into the mixture, granting the girls their superpowers.

Powers:

Blossom

Voiced by Cathy Cavadini

Commander and the leader

Blossom is the redhead in the pink outfit and signature red bow. She's the "smart one" and the self-proclaimed leader of the group, although at times she can be bossy or over-analytical. Her unique ability, introduced in the episode "Ice Sore", is ice breath.

Bubbles

Voiced by Tara Strong

The joy and the laughter

Bubbles is the one in the blue outfit with the blonde hair and pigtails. She's the most childish, naive, and timid of the three, but also the most gentle, caring, and playful. She's a Friend to All Living Things, and she has the unique ability to talk to animals and speak any language.

Buttercup

Voiced by Elizabeth Daily

The toughest fighter

Buttercup has the green outfit and black hair. She's a tomboy, and the "toughest fighter". She's the most aggressive and confrontational sister, and has gained a reputation among the bad guys of Townsville as the most vicious of the trio. Unlike her sisters, she doesn't have a unique ability (to her chagrin); however, it's eventually revealed in the Season 6 episode "Nuthin' Special" that she's the only member of the team who can curl her tongue. Well, at least it's something.

Professor Utonium

Voiced by Tom Kane

Professor Utonium is the brilliant scientist who created the girls in his lab. He acts as a father figure, caring for them as a single parent would. He's enthusiastic about his work, and cooks up all sorts of inventions and experiments in his lab.

Residents of Townsville

The Mayor Of Townsville

Voiced by Tom Kenny

The mayor of Townsville wears a trademark hat, monocle, and huge bushy mustache, and is referred to only as "Mayor" (even campaigning with the slogan "vote for Mayor for Mayor"). He is neither bright nor mature, and relies heavily on his secretary and personal assistant, Ms. Sara Bellum, to do the real work around the place. The Mayor seems to have his job only because no one bothers to run against him; The Narrator once refers to him as "The Pity of Townsville." Also, he really like pickles.

  • Adult Child
  • Balloon Belly: "Candy is Dandy"
  • Berserk Button: In "Impeach Fuzz", Fuzzy Lumpkins finds out the hard way what happens when you wear the Mayor's hat.
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite being portrayed as incompetent and immature, the Mayor has shown to have the potential of being one of the most badass mayors in existence:
    • In the episode "Him Diddle Riddle", the Mayor successfully decodes Him's riddle "Where is boiling and freezing at the same time?" as coordinates in a matter of seconds through rapid explaination to the trio of dumbstruck girls, along with a more simple alternative.

Mayor: "... Or it could be there's an ice cream truck on fire somewhere. Have a nice day, girls!"
The Girls: [[[Beat]]] [Fly off to the location]

    • Also in the episode "Impeach Fuzz", Villain of the Week Fuzzy Lumpkins becomes the new mayor. The Mayor doesn't really care about this until he learns Fuzzy is wearing his hat and accepts a challenge to wrestle him for the hat and his title as mayor again. He's easily tossed around by Fuzzy and his kin until during a pin, Fuzzy mockingly puts the Mayor's hat on in front of him. Suddenly, the tables were turned in a matter of a second.

Mayor: "FUZZY! No one wears my hat!" [Suddenly rips his vest off, becoming RIPPED]
Fuzzy: {{[[[Oh Crap]] Looking frightened}}]
Mayor: "Let's get it on."

  • The Ditz: In one episode he puts a CD on a record player and starts snapping his fingers as it blares scratching noises.

Mayor: This techno music is dope!

Sara Bellum

Voiced by Jennifer Martin

Ms. Bellum is the mayor's much-more-competent personal assistant, helping him out with whatever he can't handle on his own (i.e. just about everything). She's tall and has long, bushy red hair, but her face has never been shown--it's always blocked by the top of the frame, a conveniently-placed obstacle, or something like that.


The Narrator

Voiced by Tom Kenny

The series' enthusiastic narrator is never seen at any point in the series, though he is a person and not just a disembodied voice--for example, in "Monkey See, Doggie Do", he's turned into a dog along with the rest of Townsville, and in "Simian Says", Mojo Jojo kidnaps him and takes his place as the narrator. As the narrator, he, of course, has the ability to break the fourth wall.


Miss Keane

Voiced by Jennifer Hale

The kindergarten teacher of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten. She is patient, understanding and very protective of her students, making her a well-liked, motherly figure.

Antagonists

Mojo Jojo

Voiced by Roger L. Jackson

A Mad Scientist chimp with great intelligence, notable for his pseudo-Japanese accent and his convoluted, repetitive manner of speaking (inspired by the speech patterns of characters in the English dub of Speed Racer). As revealed in the episode "Mr. Mojo's Rising", and expanded upon in The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Mojo Jojo was 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 jealousy of the affection they received from the Professor that he did not, though he never deserved it due to his destructive nature. According to a countdown of the 10 worst villains in the series held by Cartoon Network, he's the number 1 worst villain in the series.

  • Arch Enemy: Particularly to Blossom.
  • Big Bad: He is the most well-known villain and the Big Bad of The Movie.
  • Big No
  • Catch Phrase: "CURSES!"
  • Department of Redundancy Department: 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.
  • Everything's Better with Monkeys
  • Evil Counterpart: To Professor Utonium.
  • Evil Genius
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: 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 got an incredibly high IQ, had the girls create his lab through trickery, and has since established himself as the Arch Enemy of the girls.
  • Genius Bruiser: 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.
  • Hannibal Lecture: From The Movie, including:
  • Large Ham
  • Luke, You Are My Father: 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.
  • Mad Scientist
  • Manipulative Bastard: In the movie.
    • Still shows it at times in the series. For example, tricking 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 Drunk with Power and do anything to get more, including destroying the Powerpuff Girls.
  • One-Winged Angel: 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.
  • Redemption Promotion: Twice.
  • Shout-Out: His character is a reference to Dr. Gouri, the main villain of Spectreman.
  • Superpower Lottery: In the finale of the film, he grows to become at least Kaiju size with most of the advantages, but also has generally impressive speed, the ability to use a thunder-clap, shooting his hair out like thorns, and fire breath.
  • Victory Is Boring in the 10th anniversary special.
  • Villainous Crossdresser: 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 Go-Karting with Bowser. Once eveyone goes to sleep, however, Mojo sets on his real mission: to get the Antidote X.
  • Villains Never Lie: Averted.

HIM

Voice by Tom Kane

A mysterious, supernatural, red-skinned, effeminate (apparently androgynous) and immortal caricature of Satan. He is the ultimate embodiment of pure 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 falsetto voice, to a deep, booming, demonic voice. He is also the Girl's most dangerous foe as well as the hardest villain to defeat. He's one of the girl's main enemies, but in particular an enemy for Bubbles.

This is a villain so evil, so sinister, so horribly vile, that even the utterance of his name strikes fear into the hearts of men! The only safe way to refer to this king of darkness is simply... Him!

  • Sissy Villain
  • Thigh-High Boots: High-heeled version, which makes him even freakier.
  • Ultimate Evil: Actually called this by name by Princess Morebucks in one episode, though he concedes to her claim that her "cold hard cash" trumps that.
  • Villainous Crossdresser
  • Voice of the Legion
  • What an Idiot!: In-Universe. 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 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.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: ...yeah.

Fuzzy Lumpkins

Voiced by Jim Cummings

A large, husky, furry pink 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 and is otherwise harmless. He lives in the woods next to the city of Townsville. He is also prone to destructive fits of rage during in which these times, gaining enough physical strength to overpower (and sometimes intimidate) the girls, to which they must outsmart him to beat him.

The Gangreen Gang

Voiced by Jeff Bennett (Ace/Big Billy/Grubber), Tom Kenny (Lil' Arturo/Snake)

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.

Princess Morbucks

Voiced by Jennifer Hale

"If I can't be a Powerpuff Girl, than there won't be any Powerpuff Girls!"

A spoiled rich girl, whose partially unseen and mostly mute "Daddy" allows her to finance various evil plots to destroy the Powerpuff Girls. Her hatred of the girls stems from her deluded rebuffed attempt to become one of them. She is also the only female villain in the series who is not an adolescent or young adult woman; she is approximately the same age as the Powerpuff girls.

Sedusa

Voiced by Jennifer Hale

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 Punny Name, she has Prehensile Hair, which is her greatest asset in combat.

The Amoeba Boys

Voiced by Chuck McCann

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 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.

The Rowdyruff Boys

Voiced by Rob Paulsen (Brick/Boomer), Roger L. Jackson (Butch)

A team of male counterparts of the Powerpuff Girls, created by Mojo Jojo out of snips, snails, and puppydog 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 Rogues Gallery.

Dick Hardly

Voiced by Jeff Bennett

A one-shot villain in the show, appearing only in the Season 4 episode "Knock it Off", he used to be Professor Utonium's college roommate. He discovers the formula for creating the Powerpuff Girls and abuses it to mass-produce Shoddy Knockoff Product versions of them on an assembly line. Despite being only a one shot villain, he manages to be one of the most evil and memorable characters on the show.

  • Big No
  • Big Yes
  • Collapsing Lair
  • Consummate Liar
  • Death Cry Echo
  • Establishing Character Moment: In flashbacks, his lecherous and greedy tendencies were made all too apparent. Made even more apparent when he looks through the professor's mail and calls him a geek (albeit not in front of his face), almost as if they just wanted to make sure you know he's still not a nice guy.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Professor Utonium, in that he's a man of science (though with slightly less "science"), but has none of the compassion and legitimate love the Professor has for the girls.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: He was originally just a sleazy jerk who took advantage of Professor Utonium, but by the end of "Knock It Off", he's more or less a literal monster.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: His name, in a way.
  • Greed
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: When the replicas saw the Professor's love for the real girls, they questioned why they weren't loved to Dick. He told them to back off. Simply put, it didn't end well for Dick.
  • Jeff Bennett
  • Jerkass: Even before he came up with his con, he was still a douche only putting on the nice facade when in front of the Professor.
  • Karmic Death
  • Killed Off for Real: His creations realize that he doesn't love them and turn on him, ultimately killing him by bringing his own factory down on his head. Notable as he's the only villain in the entire series to actually die.
  • Manipulative Bastard: YES.
  • Meaningful Name: Maybe not an intentional one, but he is, well, a dick.
  • One Episode Wonder
  • One-Winged Angel: After swallowing a whole vial of Chemical X.

Femme Fatale

The third notable female villain in the series, next to Princess Morebucks and Sedusa, despite being a minor villain. She only appears in the episode "Equal Fights" as a man-bashing Straw Feminist who only stole coins with Susan B. Anthony's portrait on them.

Mr. Mime

Voiced by Tom Kenny

Appears only in the episode "Mime for a Change." He is what you get when you douse the local smiling birthday entertainer Rainbow the Clown in bleach.

Boogie Man

Appears only in the episode "Boogie Frights." He hatches a plan to blanket the world in perpetual night by blocking out the sun with a giant disco ball, so that he and his fellow night-terrors can wreak havoc forever.

The Smiths

Harold Smith voiced by Jeff Bennett
Mary Anne and Julie Smith voiced by Kath Soucie
Bud Smith voiced by Christine Cavanaugh

Narrator: Uh-oh, looks like evil runs in the family.

Appear only in the episodes "Supper Villain" and "Just Desserts". The Smiths were an average family living next door to the Powerpuff Girls. Harold Smith had become sickened by his routine life and menial job at a mustard factory. Inspired by Mojo Jojo, he began to embrace the life of a supervillain. Unfortunately, he chose to do this on the night his wife Mary Anne invited Professor Utonium and the PPGs to dinner. Everything eventually devolved into a food fight, and the police arrest Harold. Mary Anne, however, put a lot of effort into the dinner, and upon seeing it get ruined, she vowed to destroy the Powerpuff Girls.

Bud: Okay Dad, let's talk about your amazing day. How many mustard jars did you fill?

Harold: Oh, criminy. How come you guys get cool supervillain stuff?
Mary Anne: We've had more time to prepare, dear.
