The Powerpuff Girls: Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup

The Powerpuff Girls – Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup – were created by Professor Utonium. He wanted to make the "perfect little girl." He mixed "sugar, spice, and everything nice" together. But then, he accidentally spilled a special substance called "Chemical X" into the mix. This accident gave the three girls their amazing superpowers!

They can fly without wings, and they have super strength and speed. They are also very tough and can see through things with x-ray vision. They have super senses and can shoot red heat vision. They can even create energy blasts and control lightning and fire.

The girls all have unique looks. They have big, oval-shaped heads and large eyes. They don't have noses, ears, or fingers. They usually wear dresses that match their eye colors. They also wear white tights and black shoes. The show's theme song describes their personalities well: Blossom, commander and the leader. Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter. Buttercup, she is the toughest fighter.

  • Blossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) is the leader of the group. Her special ingredient is "everything nice." Her color is pink, and she has long orange hair with a red bow. She is often the most calm and smart sister. Blossom is also very strong and determined. Her unique powers include "Ice Breath" and microscopic vision. She is a great planner and strategist.
  • Bubbles (voiced by Tara Strong) is the sweetest and softest of the three. Her special ingredient is "sugar." Her color is blue, and she has blonde hair in pigtails. Bubbles is kind and loving, but she can also get very angry. She fights monsters just as well as her sisters. Her best friend is a stuffed octopus named "Octi." She loves animals and can talk to them. Bubbles can also understand and speak many languages. She can even make super loud sounds with her voice.
  • Buttercup (voiced by E. G. Daily) is a tough and feisty tomboy. Her special ingredient is "spice." Her color is green, and she has black hair. Buttercup loves to play rough and get dirty. She doesn't plan much; she just jumps into action. She is the only Powerpuff Girl without a unique superpower. (But she can curl her tongue, as shown in one episode!) Craig McCracken first wanted to name her "Bud." But a friend suggested the name Buttercup instead.
