Who is your favorite Villain from the Powerpuff Girls cartoon?

I like Him; he may be freaky, but it just makes him even more evil than the others.

I like Mojo Jojo the best. :) I don't know why; I guess it's because of the way he talks. :wakko:

Do I really have to say?

Probably not, but I will anyway.

Mojo Jojo, because he can be both evil *and* hilarious. And also due to the interesting origin of his villainry; sibling rivalry taken to the extreme.

Not just sibling ... parental! He did cause the accidental spillage of Chem X, so not only is he a brother to the 'girls, but also one of their fathers. Talk about screwy ... :)

Obviously, he's my favorite of the villians too.

Mojo, def'nitely Mojo; followed by Kitty ("Cat Man Do"), and Lenny Baxter.

My least favorites: Mr. Smith ("Supper Villain") and the Ministry of Pain ("Arch Rivals")

I think you mean 'Fallen Arches.'
The MoP aren't my favorite villains either, but that ep does explore a little-discussed area; what happens to Superheros & Supervillains when they get old?
One hopes the Girls take that lesson to heart.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the title off the top of my head.

Him is number one, followed very closely by Mojo and the woefully underused Fuzzy. They've only worked all together twice, in "Beat-Alls" and "Telephonies" (two of my favorites). I can imitate Fuzzy and Mojo perfectly, though my Him needs work. An honorable mention to Seduca, who may have been indirectly referenced in a Samurai Jack ep--as a woman, Aku resembles her a bit. :shudder:

Re: "Fallen Arches"--I've heard the heroes were caricatures of J. Barbera and W. Hanna, but did anyone else think the hero looked like Ronald Reagan and his sidekick like Jimmy Carter? "The world?" "No, my juice globe!"

Mojo would be my favorite as well. The mixture of evilness/hilarity work for me. The way he talks is just too funny as well. Him would be second for his overall nature. I don't know if they count, but I liked the Rowdy Ruff Boys too.

I haven't seen all the episodes and the name "Lenny Baxter" doesn't ring a bell with me. What episode was Lenny in?

Explaination for Lenny Baxter- Caution: Spoilers Below



Lenny was the guest-villain in 'Collect Her.' He was a rotund fanboy collector of Powerpuff Girls artifacts who discovered, to his horror, that he'd aquired *every single* piece of PPG merchandise available. And it wasn't enough ("Collecting is my life!")

So he moved on to 'collecting' items from the Girls' home, and finally the Girls themselves (tho exactly how he managed to overpower them wasn't clear.) When the children of Townsville discovered he was responsible for the Powerpuffs' disappearence, they 'tortured' him into telling where they were, by ripping open his sealed toy packages (as he'd put it, "Toys are not to play with- they're an investment!") I suspect the PPG creators are sending out a message there.

Notable ep quote from Professor Utonium: "You may have all the toys and the gadgets, but there's one thing you don't have, sir; and that's True Fandom!"

Yes, but I do believe that its intention is self-reflection. Note in the interview about what his hobby is.

Even now, he's suprised at what new PPG stuff is out there. I've even noticed him bidding on PPG items on ebay ... and in those instances, I leave him alone. I kinda feel it's bad karma to outbid the creator. :)

It's not as shocking as it was, though, when a lot of stuff was still kinda far and few between. I must say, it was rather convienent that I happened to have had the light sculpture in my car, 'cause he's hasn't seen it before, and I got to show him in the parking lot next to the Shrine Auditorium.

-- Kane ... that was back in '99.

Thanks a lot, Sharklady. ^_^

--Genndy bidding on his own character merchandise. I presume he gets a cut of every item sold...interesting way of fattening one's own royalty checks...start a bid war, sit back, and watch the numbers rise (cynical, yes, but that's what I would do in his position....)

Actually, Dr. Belch, it's Craig who's doing that. Powerpuff, not Dexter.

I'm more than certain that it's not for royalty. Those PPG pez dispensers are knockoffs ... and so are the pinatas. And the fact that on the most part, he wins those auctions, he's moreso fattening the seller's wallet versus his own.

:confused: Two questions, Doc:

1: What have you been smoking?
2: Where can I get some? :D

Why, Mojo Jojo of course. For all the reasons said above. Besides, his way of talking always appealed to me. ^^

...Him is certainly a good villain, but he's really too evil to not be likable enough for me. At least all the other villains have some bit of goodness and comedy in thier hearts...Him has none, I don't like that. >_<

I do have to admit the RowdyRuff boys look interesting to see, but I haven't seen the eppy. But I enjoy clone matches, so they already get a high spot....^^;;

...I haven't seen any other villains, though. :o
