The Powerpuff Girls are a superhero team and the main characters in the animated TV series The Powerpuff Girls.
Origin
When scientific genius decided to create the perfect little girl using sugar, spice and everything nice, the potent chemical known only as Chemical X is added to the concoction, creating three little girls with ultra-super powers.
History
The Beginning
In the City of Townsville, Professor Utonium was a brilliant scientist trying to create the perfect little girls, using the ingredients sugar, spice and everything nice. However, the Professor's rambunctious lab monkey assistant accidentally broke a vial containing the mysterious concoction known as Chemical X into the mixture, resulting in the creation of three little girls with "ultra super powers". The Professor was immediately taken with the children and took them in as his own children, naming them Blossom (for her openness), Bubbles (for her bubbly personality), and Buttercup (because it also starts with a "b").
The Professor soon enrolled the children in Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, but soon the children get in trouble once they use their powers in a game of tag that gets disastrously out of control, destroying much of the City of Townsville. Soon the Girls were shunned by the town until a mysterious stranger came to them promising to help them gain redemption. The mysterious stranger, Mojo Jojo, was in fact the same lab monkey who caused the accident, now granted super-intelligence from the exposure to Chemical X. Mojo asks for various items to be procured and tasks accomplished, which he promises will help them be seen as heroes in the eyes of Townsville. However, when it is time for the plan to succeed, Mojo reveals his plot was to conquer Townsville by turning other monkeys super-intelligent. Feeling ashamed of the part they played in the conquest of Townsville, the Girls flee the Earth, and stay on a meteorite, lamenting their actions.
Soon, however, they realize they cannot abandon Townsville and upon their return, when trying to protect the innocent, they realize their super strength and speed gives them an edge over the super-intelligent monkeys. Soon the girls were able to defeat the monkeys with their powers, as well as Mojo Jojo, even after he increased his own strength with Chemical X. After this, the girls became celebrated superheroes and took on the name "The Powerpuff Girls".
Further Adventures
With the Girls as the city's new protectors, their home and kindergarten was given emergency hotlines to the mayor as well as an emergency "Powerpuff Signal" to summon them whenever trouble reared its head. Soon the Girls developed their own rogues gallery of villains including Mojo Jojo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess, the Gangreen Gang, Sedusa, and the Amoeba Boys.
Eventually, Mojo Jojo revealed that we was created by Prof. Utonium (who had no memory of the event) and used the Professor's sense of responsibility to trick him into bestowing Mojo with Chemical X-enhanced powers. Mojo soon used his powers to fight the Girls, completely overpowering them. When things seemed their worse, the Professor's memory of and revealed to Mojo that his rambunctious behavior is what caused the explosion that gave him his intelligence and created the Girls, meaning that he was the one who truly created them. This caused Mojo to go into catatonic shock, giving the Girls more than enough time to depower him and send him to jail.
Tired of constant defeats by the Powerpuff Girls, Mojo Jojo created his own super-powered children: The Rowdyruff Boys. Though the Girls were defeated at first, they ended up destroying them with a kiss on the cheek.
After many more adventures, the girls decide they want a new member and attempt to recreate the Professor's experiment to make a new Powerpuff Girl. In their attempt, they create the well-intentioned but deformed and low-intelligence fourth Powerpuff, Bunny.
