PowerPuff Girls Doujinshi

Encyclopedia : P : PO : POW : PowerPuff Girls Doujinshi

Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi (also known as Powerpuff Girls D or PPGD) is a manga-styled fancomic drawn by an artist known only as Bleedman. It is hosted by Snafu Comics.

The comic is a crossover of sorts based on the American animated television series The Powerpuff Girls, though finding Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup slightly older and now going to school in a fictional neighboring city of Townsville known as Megaville. Here the girls meet various other characters of different Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon animated programs such as Dexter's Laboratory, Time Squad, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Megas XLR, Invader Zim, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Atomic Betty, Fairly Odd Parents, Samurai Jack, and more. However evil forces soon set their sights on the girls, which will no doubt lead to conflicts as the comic progresses.

While PPG Doujinshi includes many familiar characters (drawn anime-style), the comic also sports a slew of original characters, the most noticeable being Bell, a supposed Powerpuff Girl dressed in white who works for the villains.

The comic is known to be much darker in tone than the animated series on which it is based.

Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi was updated regularly on Sundays until recently when the artist began to work on his related comic, Grim Tales From Down Below, and updates won't begin again until that comic's current arc is completed. It is very fan-oriented, with several artists and writers influencing the work of the creator.

The comic was the "Outstanding Superhero Comic" and "Outstanding Character Art" winner on the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2005.

The comic has it's translations into Spanish and Japanese by fans on the web.

Main characters

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Blossom (The Powerpuff Girls): Still the leader of the Powerpuff Girls. She is a bit more sensitive than her TV incarnation, but still very strong-willed. She gets kidnapped by Mandark later in the comic and develops a bit of a crush on Dexter as the comic progresses.

Bubbles (The Powerpuff Girls): Same as her TV version as of yet. She hasn't really done much in the comic at the moment, but still helps her sisters out when needed. She adopts Courage and befriends Mandy and (as stated in her character bio) Gaz (or at least she thinks so).

Buttercup (The Powerpuff Girls): A tad more aggressive here than her TV version (even going as far as to threaten Otto when he reveals the truth about Dexter to Blossom.) As always, she is brash and unafraid of using extreme measures against the villains. She has developed a fangirl crush on Jack.

Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory): The most developed character so far in the comic. He challenges the girls no sooner than meeting them, which ends in a tie because of Jack's interference. When Blossom stumbles upon his makeshift lab in the school's library, Otto (from Time Squad) takes her back in time and shows her the boy genius's tragic past, which involves Mandark and Dexter's sister Dee-Dee. Dexter later comes to Blossom's rescue when Mandark kidnaps her.

Mandark (Dexter's Laboratory): A tragic figure in the comic. He slowly slips into depression and madness after one of his Jackbots kills Dee Dee, his lifelong love, during a fight between himself and Dexter. He blames Dexter entirely for the incident and is recruited by the villains to try to kill him. During this time, he creates armor, weaponry, and even Dr. X's home base, Black Eden, for the Council. In the end, he is supposedly destroyed in the blast of his laboratory's self-destruction. All that is recovered of him is his ruined glasses.

Dee Dee (Dexter's Laboratory): Killed in battle by a stray laser, fired by one of Mandark's robots but meant for Dexter. She jumped in the way to save her brother, though her sacrifice led to a more serious turn in the rivalry between the two. She is seen later as an angel who helps Blossom back to the mortal realm to help Dexter. She apparently knows Grim on a personal basis. Her death is considered probably the most powerful scene in the comic as of yet.

Otto (Time Squad): An accomplished time ranger in the comic, though he seems a bit more shy than his TV version. He takes Blossom back in time and shows her Dexter's past. When Mandark kidnaps her, Otto receives the ransom note and relays it to Dexter. He also helps rescue Blossom alongside Bubbles, Buttercup and Coop.

Jack (Samurai Jack): Seen as a gym teacher in the comic. He breaks up the fight between Dexter and the PPG after their first meeting. He is also taking care of Courage after Muriel left him in his care. He helps save Bubbles from one of Mojo Jojo's monsters later in the comic. His good looks and gallant ways have unintentionally earned him the affections of many of his female students -- including, it seems, Buttercup. Jack has since remained tight-lipped about the fact that he is actually from feudal Japan. He isn't seen in the later stages of the comic.

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog): A fuschia dog that lives in perpetual fear. He was left in the care of Jack by Muriel as she left for some unknown reason. He helps rescue Bubbles from Mojo Jojo's monster.

Coop (Megas XLR): He loans Megas to Dexter early in the comic, but he comes into play when Blossom is kidnapped. He fights Samantha's mech, Megabee, outside of Mandark's hideout and easily wins with the greater power of the Megas XLR.

Darkstar Council: The primary villains of the comic, composed mostly of robots working for the Cluster (enemies from My Life as a Teenage Robot). Most are original characters created by [Kainsword17]. Led by Dr. X, they have been enhanced by Mandark and bear a Blood Seal on their heads and armor.

Dr. X: An enormous humanoid demon and the head of the Darkstar Council whose sole purpose in life is to conquer Earth. He is originally a scientist who was driven to evil by his own ambitions. He considers the Powerpuff Girls his greatest threat to his world domination plans. He tends to go around in his blue-striped pajama pants, a strong contrast to his deep red skin and perpetually blazing head. Flashbacks indicate that perhaps he was once a normal man, though this is most likely due to his manipulating Mandark's mind. He is supposedly Bell's father. He is also speculated to be related to Professor Utonium. Dr. X is an original character, created by Bleedman.

Bell: A mysterious supposed Powerpuff Girl, dressed in white, who works with the villains; though her motives against the Girls are unknown. She is just as strong as (if not stronger than) the Girls, as demonstrated in a fight against Blossom, though she does have a sympathetic side as shown in her relationship to GIR. She considers Mandark to be like a brother to her. She is another original character of Bleedman, also one of the most popular in the comic. After Mandark's death, Bell shows open hostility towards her father because he refused to save him. This hatred may carry on into future chapters, but how it affects Bell's relationship with her father, or her status as one of the bad guys, remains unclear.

Zim (Invader Zim): An overconfident and slightly mad alien (of the Irken race) also seen working with the Darkstar Council. He is sent to work for them in a deal with the Almighty Tallest Red and Purple in yet another attempt to get rid of him; predictably, the Darkstar Council and Dr. X don't think much of him, as he is just a janitor around their base of operations and has a tendency to destroy everything he touches. However, he was apparently promised a chance at destroying the girls -- though it is unlikely that they will ever make good on this vow without a little "urging" from Zim himself, assuming that Zim doesn't decide to simply split off. As seen occasionally, he is jealous of GIR's constant attention to Bell. Lately, he appears to have a more personal relationship with Dr. X, apparently replacing Mandark as the adoptive son.

GIR (Invader Zim): As in the TV show, he is just comic relief. He is seen by Bell's side rather than Zim's most of the time, much to Bell's delight and Zim's chagrin. He harbors a penchant for speaking utter nonsense. He often appears in his costume, a strange looking green dog, but he is actually a dysfunctional robot that is supposed to be Zim's servant but instead is more of an autonomous pet.

Princess Sam (Medabots): One of the few humans working for the Darkstar Council. Originally known as Samantha, she attacks Coop and Megas outside of Mandark's hideout, but later has one of her teeth knocked out by Buttercup, foreshadowing a grudge between the two. One of her arms is mechanized, but she wishes to be fullmetal, implying that she wants her soul transplanted into a robotic body. (See Fullmetal Alchemist)

Mojo Jojo (The Powerpuff Girls): The Powerpuff Girls' arch nemesis. He followed the girls to Megaville and is still obsessed with defeating them. He is recruited by the Darkstar Council later on, to be perplexed by Zim and enhanced cybernetically.

Rowdyruff Boys (The Powerpuff Girls): Seen near the beginning of the comic, part of a secret special forces experiment known as "Project: Rowdy" that is under training. Brick and Butch still harbor a hatred for the girls for their first defeat. However, Boomer seems to have an interest for Bubbles. Butch and Boomer are based on their first appearance in The Powerpuff Girls, where they are defeated by kisses, but Brick has long hair like his second incarnation.

Jenny Wakeman (My Life as a Teenage Robot): Seen also with the Rowdyruff Boys and subsequently handed a defeat by them in their combat simulation. She is last seen being repaired by Ms. Wakeman and Sheldon where she apparently activates a self-destruct mechanism as a visual joke.
