The City of Townsville is pretty infamous
for its high villain population. In fact, it’sprobably right up there with
Gotham City in terms of just how many villains attack itsresidents on a weekly basis. That’s not even mentioning all the people
in the city whoare crooks or just plain old jerks, or the Godzilla-esque monsters that
always seem topop up. So yeah, Townsville... Not the safest place to live, even with the
Powerpuff Girlsprotecting it. But out of all these villains, which are only
sorta bad and which ones arethe most cruel and sadistic? I’m Kyle with WickedBinge, and this
is Powerpuff Girls Villains: Bad to Evil.Now, before we start ranking these baddies, a few
quick notes to go over first. Giventhat the Powerpuff Girls is a sort of
“monster of the week” show, there are far too manyvillains to count, even for us. Of course, we’ll try to hit the most noteworthy
and the mostmemorable ones. However, many of the minor villains, especially
from the latterseasons, will be skipped over simply because of lack of presence or lack
of power. Wedon’t want this list getting too repetitive.Additionally,
we won’t be listing any of the monsters that attack Townsville. Whetherthey’re attacking because they’re
mindless beasts or because surviving an attack fromthe PPG is seen as a show of strength
in Monster Society, these guys all feel prettyneutral to us. Finally, we will not be including any villains
from the 2016 PPG reboot.Because the reboot is completely different from the original
show, both with the type ofvillains it has as well as with its new interpretations of
classic villains, it would just feelweird to rank them side-by-side.Now, for this list,
we’ll be starting with the least evil villains and working our way up tothe most ruthlessly
evil...Surprising absolutely no one, we have The Amoeba Boys in dead last. For many, theAmoeba Boys aren’t even considered
real villains due to how harmless they are. Still,even if they fit more in the Grey Area
than the Bad Tier, it wouldn’t feel right to not givethem a quick mention. The Amoeba Boys are a gang of, well, amoebas. Though theiractions themselves may not be
too evil, they still try their best to be villains, wanting thestatus that comes with
the title. Though others may see them as complete jokes,
theytake their work quite seriously. They’re even willing to stand outside in
the cold and rain all night just so they can commit the ‘totally
awful crime’ of loitering and standing on thegrass. Though, speaking of this particular episode,
the Amoeba Boys were able to causesome damage to Townsville, albeit accidentally, by spreading
their own special brand ofthe flu. There was also the episode where they learned
how to divide themselves,quickly taking over the town until the Girls managed to merge
them back together. Still,when the worst thing that this so-called
army did was steal oranges and cause peopleto get scurvy, it’s a given that they’d be
at the bottom of this list.Next in our ranking is fake hero and super-zero, Major Man. In his brief appearance onthe show, Major
Man did all he could to take the Girls’ job as the protector of Townsville,easily
winning over its residents with his muscles and charm. But we quickly learnedthat Major Man was nothing
but a phoney, and that all of the crimes he had stoppedwere not only fake, but ones he
coordinated. He even started a fire just so he could bethe
one to put it out and save the day! Honestly, how low can you get? His main goalwith his so-called good deeds
was simply to gain fame and glory. He only came cleanonce he realized he was
totally outmatched in an actual fight with a monster, beggingthe Girls to help him. What’s maybe the most frustrating thing
about Major Man is thathis superpowers are real, he just uses them for selfish reasons
and is too much of acoward to fight actual threats.No disrespect to our fellow fandom
nerds, but Lenny Baxter takes that mindset wayyyytoo far. Lenny was absolutely obsessed with the Powerpuff
Girls, to the point where itwas downright creepy. Though he obviously admired the Girls on some
level for theirpowers and achievements, he didn’t really care about the Girls themselves,
only theirmerch and his status as a fan and collector. When he suddenly lost his purpose in lifeafter
collecting every single piece of PPG merch, he resorted to stealing personal itemsfrom
the Girls. When even this wasn’t enough for him, he
lured the Girls to his apartmentand captured them. Of course, kidnapping is a seriously evil
offense. But unlike othervillains who wanted to either
kill the Girls after capturing them or use their powers fortheir own means, Lenny just
kept them in super-plastic on his top shelf, seeing them asanother ‘collector’s item’
to keep safe in mint condition. This is still bad, don’t get uswrong, but
it could have been much MUCH worse. Because of this, we can’t really rankLenny
any higher.Up next is Hollywood film maker Bernie Bernstein. In the episode “Film Flam”, we metthis
hack director when he tried to convince the Powerpuff Girls to help him make aPowerpuff
movie. In reality, Bernie saw the film as a means
to rob the Townsville bankwithout suspicion, hoping that the Girls would be too distracted
by filming to notice.Though we give Bernie points creativity, this is a pretty dumb plan,
even if it is still somewhat evil. Along with being a hopeful bank robber, Bernie
is just a jerk in general,yelling at Bubbles to keep her mouth shut when she tries to correct
him. When itbecame clear that his plans had fallen
through, Bernie decided to fully go from directorto criminal, kidnapping the mayor and holding
him at gunpoint. While this earns him acouple extra evil points,
compared to the other villains of Townsville, he really is just awannabe.Femme Fatale
was a villainess who sought to put herself on top despite claiming shewas fighting for
equal rights. Depicted as a strawman (pardon the phrasing)
version of afeminist, Femme Fatale was a thief that was only interested in Susan B. Anthony
coins.After the Girls caught her, she manipulated them into letting her go, claiming thatbecause
they were in a men’s world, they had to stick together as women and look outfor each
other. Now, there’s plenty to criticise about the
episode that features her,“Equal Fights”, as well as the character herself. There’s a reason why the person whohelped
write this episode, Lauren Faust, tends to distance herself from it. But as for thevillainess herself, while cruel
towards both men AND women, she doesn’t seem to betoo dangerous despite her brandishing
a gun in the shape of the female gender symbol.Without superpowers, the Girls are easily able to
take her out. Her crimes were awful, aswas her misandry,
hypocrisy and manipulation tactics, but she really didn’t cause toomuch damage in the
end.Next is Mike Brikowski, the worst police officer in Townsville. Officer Brikowski was, toput it simply, a
bad cop. While other officers throughout the show were
either ineffectiveagainst the town’s array of supervillains or as incompetent as the
rest of the residentssometimes were, Brikowski was lazy and actively chose not to do his
job. He’d sleepthrough emergencies like bank
robberies and would waste time stopping at donutshops instead of speeding towards crime
scenes. When he finally gets fired for his poorpolice
work, Brikowski blames the Girls for making him look bad and decides to getrevenge on
them. Using confiscated weapons from other villains,
Brikowski capturesthe Girls after luring them to a warehouse and threatens to lower them
into acid.Although it turns out that the Girls are thankfully acid-proof and ultimately walk
awayfrom the incident unharmed, Brikowski didn’t know that. The fact that he was maliciousenough to dip
five-year-olds into acid is just seriously messed up. Blossom probably putit best: He’s not a
good cop gone bad, but a bad cop gone worse.Next, we have an entire family of villains - The
Smith Family. Originally, the Smiths -Harold, Marianne,
Bud and Julie - were just an average family. Day in and day out,Harold would go through
his dull routine, silently growing more bitter as he began todespite his neighbors, the Utoniums,
for seemingly having perfect lives. He began
plotting an attack against the Utoniums, and although he tried to hold it together for
hisfamily and hide his passions for evil, Harold just couldn’t take it anymore and
ended uptaking the Professor hostage, threatening to melt his head off. After Harold wasdefeated, Marianne swore revenge
against the Utoniums - not for arresting her husband,but just for ruining the dinner she
had planned. With a brash personality, a need forthings
to be perfect, and a love for evil, Marianne is just as bad as Harold, if not worse.When
Harold got out of prison, the Smiths worked together to trash the Girls’ homebefore
trying to run them and the Professor over with their car. Though their actionswere indeed evil, their
lack of any real power prevents them from being placed anyhigher up. I mean, Harold was using a hairdryer as a
weapon, for crying out loud. Thisfamily may be crazy, but they aren’t
much of a threat.Time to “blame it on the boogie” with The Boogieman. The Boogieman is different fromother Townsville
monsters, and not just because he’s smaller than a skyscraper. He’smore interested in partying and dancing
to 70’s disco music than destroying buildings.But, because monsters that live under the bed or
in the closet can only come out atnight, the Boogieman tried to plunge the world into eternal
darkness. He blocks out thesun with a giant disco ball,
and when the Girls try to stop his plans, he fights them off. Inthe end, Bubbles is able to destroy the
disco ball and save the day. Although Boogie andthe rest of the monsters
seemed to enjoy terrorizing the kids of Townsville, all theyreally wanted to do was party for
a while without having to worry about any lights - orthe sun - harming them. You can kind of understand where they’re
coming from, andthey certainly aren’t as destructive as other villains, but the Boogieman
is still a selfishvillain, putting his own party life above the rest of the world.Up
next is former clown turned supervillain, Mr. Mime. As Rainbow the Clown, hebrought smiles and
joy to the children of Townsville. Before his accident, he was atotally good
person - not even that scary like how most clowns usually are.Unfortunately, after being
covered in bleach, he became the villain Mr. Mime. With hispowers, he was able to not only suck
the colors and sound out of Townsville, but leaveits citizens in almost a catatonic state,
unable to react to anything. If not for the Girlssaving the day, this could
have eventually been fatal. Still, as bad as all of this sounds,Mr. Mime
falls into that special category of villain where they can’t really controlthemselves,
and it’s the thing that created them that ends up influencing their actionsinstead of
any personal vendetta. This is proven when, after the Girls reverse
the effectsof the bleach, Rainbow is grateful for their help and happy as ever to be back
on the sideof good. Granted, he still gets beaten up and arrested
but, fun fact, the higher ups atCartoon Network were the ones who wanted this ending, not
the writers. Poor Rainbow. Similarly, Abracadaver was an entertainer
whose career and life were ended by one badday. Once upon a time, he was known as Al Lusion,
and was considered one of thegreatest stage magicians that Townsville had ever seen. But, after a performance gonehorribly wrong,
Al Lusion lost his life and swore revenge against the audience that hadlaughed at him,
eventually coming back as a zombie. After mistaking Blossom as thegirl that led
to his untimely end, Abracadaver tries to kill all three of the Powerpuffs.Thankfully,
the Girls had a few tricks of their own up their sleeve, and managed to puthim back in
his coffin. This villain, along with his debut episode,
is one of the darkestthings from the classic seasons of PPG, and while Abracadaver didn’t
get to do much asa villain, viewers aren’t going to be forgetting this villain anytime
soon.Next is the VERY disgusting Roach Coach. Roach Coach sees humanity as nothing but abunch
of pests. Ironically, considering that he himself is
revealed to actually be acockroach in a robot body. With the help of his fellow roaches, Roach
Coach takes overthe city, spreading his bugs far and wide. Along with this being evil, it was alsoabsolutely
disgusting. With how durable these bugs are as well as
their high populationnumbers, you have to wonder if Roach Coach would have tried to
take over the entireworld, had he been successful with taking over Townsville. While he caused a lot ofdamage, you can’t
really blame the guy for being so bitter, given how many humanswould rather squish bugs
whenever one enters their home instead of just leaving it be.Still, trying to overthrow
humanity and make cockroaches the dominant race is a prettyevil move.Though still obviously
evil, Fuzzy Lumpkins is probably the least evil of our main badguys. He’s also the most anti-social, only teaming
up with other villains when it directlyaffects him. After all, his catchphrase is pretty much
just “Get off my property!” All Fuzzywants is to be left alone in his
woods, but while he may not be very active in the world ofvillainy, Fuzzy is still no
less dangerous - especially when someone steals from him orbothers him. This even extends to squirrels, as seen in
the episode, “Fuzzy Logic”. Hecan also be pretty greedy, having no problems
holding up a cashier in the openingsequence of the Powerpuff Girls movie, and was one
of the core members of theBeat-Alls, taking pride out of being the one to crush the Girls
with a giant rock over andover again. In the episode, “Impeach Fuzz”, Fuzzy
temporarily became mayor. While notthe worst leader, it’s clear he
couldn’t care less about Townsville and barely does his jobas mayor, only calling
on the Girls to catch his pig or play jugband music. Him bringingout his cousins to wrestle alongside
him when the Real Mayor challenges him for theposition also shows just how unfair and
cruel he can be to others, along with beingselfish. The guy truly only cares about himself and
his property. Everything else? Theycan get blasted by a shotgun for all he
cares. Next, we have another group entry, The
Gangreen Gang. The Gangreen Gang are just abunch of jerky
teenagers, so they do typically jerky teenage things. They’re not abovetrying to torment and bully
innocent children, as seen in the episode where they’re sentto Ms. Keane’s class
and in the Powerpuff Girls Movie. In both instances, they’re morethan happy
to terrorize kids who either can’t defend themselves or, in the case of thealready-emotionally
distraught Powerpuffs, won’t allow themselves to fight back. Whenthey got ahold of the Powerpuff HotLine,
they ended up causing quite a bit of chaos justfor some hilarious prank phone calls. There was also the episode where the Gang
all gotsuperpowers after an incident involving snacks and the Powerpuff Girls’ heat ray. Theyspent the entire afternoon destroying
the city and attacking the Girls, nearly killing themif not for the source of their powers
being digested. You also have the episode whereButtercup had
a crush on Ace, who used this to his advantage by pretending to like herback so he could
manipulate her, as well as distract her from her superhero duties,which then put her sisters
at risk. While they aren’t really looking for power
ordomination like other PPG villains, they can still cause quite a bit of damage. The onlybright side of their group is Big
Billy, who was willing to be a good guy, but only after theGirls saved his life. There was also the episode “Aspirations”
where the Gangreen Ganghelped the Girls figure out how to defeat a superpowered Sedusa, but
only after Sedusabetrayed them first. Most of the time though, the Gangreen Gang
are nothing butmean-spirited bullies.Though not an actual royal, Princess Morbucks
certainly acts like a spoiled princess.While she already has tons of money, gadgets and
status, all Princess really wants is tobe a Powerpuff Girl. Of course, her lack of morality means that
it’s impossible for her tobe a true Powerpuff, and from then on, Princess figures that if
she can’t be a Powerpuff,then no one can be one. Now let’s be clear, if she was just a spoiled
brat with a jetpack,she’d be way lower on this list. But her evil deeds extend far past simply
being entitledor trying to destroy the Powerpuff Girls. In one episode, she tricked the Mayor intosigning
over his position and all its power to her, and with one simple decree, Princessmade crime
legal and allowed villains to run amuck all over the city. She only reversedthis law when her own stuff
was stolen. In the Christmas special, she put every singlekid
in the world on the naughty list, making herself the ONLY good kid in the world soshe could
get the ultimate present of superpowers. Who would’ve thought that Santahad THAT
in his gift bag? There was also the time she manipulated and
then betrayedthe Girls’ new friend and neighbor, Robin, in the episode “Superfriends”. And of course,she wouldn’t be a spoiled
rich character if there weren’t examples of her bribing otherpeople with cold hard
cash. The only thing we can be thankful for in regards
to Princess is the fact that her influence doesn’t keep her from getting arrested,
or from (eventually)getting disciplined by her father.Up next is the seductress with
the wild hair, Sedusa. When we first met her, she wasintroduced as
Ima Goodelady, and briefly became the Professor’s girlfriend. While sheput on a sweet and innocent face
around the Professor, she was cruel to the Girls,forcing them to do chores without their
powers and then getting them grounded afterthey snuck out to save the day. Shortly after, it was revealed that she was
doing all ofthis so she could steal the Mayor’s jewels without any interference. Fortunately, theProfessor immediately broke
up with her once he saw Sedusa’s true colors beforehanding her over to the police. But, this isn’t the last time we would see
her - and it couldbe argued her second scheme was even more evil than her first. In “Something’s a Ms.”,Sedusa steals
Ms. Bellum’s identity, disguising herself as her and using her, ahem,‘charm’ to
convince the Mayor to give her days off. With these days off, she secretlywent out
to commit crimes and steal valuables. Sedusa then fakes Ms. Bellum’skidnapping,
disguising the real Ms. Bellum to look like her in the hopes of having her goto jail in
her place. When this doesn’t work, Sedusa attacks both
the Girls and Bellum,and tries to finish them off - even nearly drowning Ms. Bellum in a
pool. Then, in herthird appearance, she worked with
the Gangreen Gang to steal Egyptian treasures andnearly destroyed Townsville. Though she may seem like a pretty face, Sedusa
seems tobe totally heartless, and more than deserves this high ranking.For our final group
entry, we’re placing the Rowdyruff Boys just outside of our top three.Like stereotypical
‘bad boys’ and similar to the Gangreen Gang, the Rowdyruffs aredestructive, rude,
crude and uncaring. They’ll happily destroy a whole city and
tormenttheir female counterparts, all for the sake of having some fun. As far as we can tell, theRowdyruffs don’t
seem to have any good sides, and with them being just as powerful asthe Powerpuffs, that
also makes them all the more dangerous. They were literallycreated to be bad guys. So why not have them at the top of the list? Well, a couplereasons. Again, these guys were purposely created to
be ‘evil’. Afterwards, they wereinfluenced by both Mojo
and HIM, so this is a case of both nature and nurture workingtogether. But you have to wonder, if someone like the
Professor were to try and raisethem, is it possible for them to one day become good? Along that same line of thought,while the
Boys are superpowered and are old enough to know what they’re doing, they’restill
just kids - just like the Powerpuff Girls are just kids, and we’ve seen from otherepisodes
that the Girls are just as capable of making poor, morally incorrect choicesjust as much
as anyone else. Maybe this is a case of us just being hopeful,
but webelieve that there’s still a line between being an awful, bratty boy and being
truly heartless and evil. With that said, let’s move onto the top
three most evil baddies ofTownsville.Taking the bronze medal of evil is the super-genius
monkey, Mojo Jojo. Though not themost evil, obviously, Mojo is
probably the most famous PPG villain. He’s fought againstthe Girls the most times,
has had several episodes focused on him as well as hisbackstory, and was even the main
antagonist in the PPG movie. He mutated stolenprimates to give himself
an army, tried to turn all humans into dogs (twice), uses hisintellect to build machines
and weapons to terrorize Townsville, has attempted to killboth the Girls and the Professor multiple
times - the list of his evil deeds just goes onand on. Even before he was given supergenius intellect,
Mojo was destructive andviolent. So, after everything Mojo’s done, why are
we only placing him third? Well, firstoff, though he did it accidentally,
it is revealed that he was the one who caused theChemical X to be added to the formula,
creating the Powerpuff Girls.He’s also occasionally saved the day, like in the episode “Forced
Kin” where he foughtoff aliens trying to take over Townsville, and can even be somewhat
respectful towardspeople (including the Girls) when he’s not in the middle of an evil scheme. It’s then laterrevealed that Mojo is one
of those “doing the wrong things for the right reason” villainsand may actually have
a good side? In the 10th anniversary special and series
epilogue,“The Powerpuff Girls Rule”, we see Mojo finally take over the world. And what does thismonkey do with all that
power? Well, he ends world hunger, brings world peace
and evengives everyone a free puppy. Yeahhh, talk about a plot twist. As it turns out, Mojo onlywanted to rule the
world so he could make it better. While this by no means excuses allthe awful
things that he did in an attempt to gain power and you could even make anargument that this
was just a silly non-canon special, we still have to give credit whereit's due. Mojo was, in the end, a good guy!... But only for like five minutes. In the end,Mojo became bored with peace and
went back to his villainous ways, showing thatmaybe Mojo really is just a bad monkey
after all.For our second place baddie, we have to give the silver medal to Dick Hardly. Dick wasanother one-shot villain, only appearing
in one episode, but MAN did he leave animpression on viewers. Although he had gone to the same college as
the Professor,Dick was more interested in making a quick buck than helping the world
throughscience. When he first met the Powerpuff Girls, he
saw them as something every personand city would want, given their cute exterior and
ability to protect others from harm.After manipulating the Girls into telling him how
they were created, Dick recreated thefamous formula, hoping to make a profit through his
new Powerpuff Girls Xtreme.Because these Powerpuffs weren’t made with love and good intentions,
they wereshoddy and fell apart, eventually becoming abominations. Of course, as long as he could still make
money off them, Dick couldn’t care less. When the Girls confronted him,he became a
monster both inside and out after swallowing the Chemical X. He thentried to drain the Girls of their Chemical
X, nearly killing them in the process. Dick isultimately brought down by his own
creations after they realize he didn’t have any lovefor them, and is killed in a fiery
explosion. Selfish, cruel, greedy and literally monstrous,Dick
is the worst human that the Girls face. But, there’s still one other character thatoutmatches
him in terms of villainy.Earning the Gold Medal of Most Evil, we have none other than
HIM. We’re sure manysaw this coming, and while
it would have been nice to subvert expectations, there wasjust no way we could give first place
to anyone else. After all, HIM is a literal devil. It’shard to get much more evil than that. He’s also well known for his schemes focusingmore
on the psychological than the physical, showing that he’d rather torment hisvictims before
destroying them, just to make it all the more satisfying for him. With hisdark powers, HIM is also the strongest
villain that the Girls face, able to alter his sizeand transform at will, as well as
a wide array of other powers. He’s also, perhaps, themost deranged. His most infamous episode is “Speed Demon”
where it’s revealed that,without the Powerpuff Girls, HIM was able to take over Townsville,
turning it into awasteland and leaving many residents husks of their former selves, including
theProfessor and Ms. Bellum. Just knowing this was a possibility absolutely
traumatizedthe Girls. Episodes like “Octi Evil” and “Tough
Love” also show just how cruel HIM canbe, from using Bubbles’ plushie as a means to
manipulate Bubbles and turn Blossomand Buttercup against each other, to using his mind control
powers to sway the heartsof Townsville and brainwash them, forcing the Girls to fight
off people they loved. It’seven canon that this guy is SO evil
and SO vile, that you can’t even say his real name,hence why he only goes by HIM. Now that is evil. Even other villains respect HIM, withMojo
even calling him “Sir” when HIM calls. Even when HIM is in a more comedic role,like
when he and the Professor made a bet over whether or not the Girls could solve hisriddles,
with the prize being just a free breakfast, you just know in the back of your mindthat
HIM is a true threat, and his power nor his evilness should never be taken lightly. Assuch, he more than earns the top spot on
our list.But what do you think? Who’s the most evil Powerpuff Girls Villain? Let us know in thecomment section below. Don’t forget to hit that notification bell
