The Powerpuff Girls: Everything You Need to Know About His Infernal Majesty, aka HIM

Aside from his haunting falsetto voice that echoes all around, one of HIM's most defining traits is his unexpected sense of style — tutu, leather belt, and thigh-high boots included. Of course, he takes many forms and his jagged teeth, lime green eyes, and various terrifying forms aren't always glamorous. So, for better or for worse — usually the latter — he knows how to add a little bit of flare to any battle with the Powerpuff Girls.

Every Powerpuff Girls villain has their specialty, but when it comes to HIM, he's pretty much a jack of all trades. Telekinesis, acid spit, flight, the ability to resurrect himself, transformations, mind control, laser eye beams, and dream manipulation are just a few of the creeptastic villain's powers. So including him in the reboot would open up the potential for some truly wild fight scenes, and we are here for it.

Some of the most memorable Powerpuff Girls episodes include a dose of humour from the most unexpected characters. One example is when the girls burst in on HIM in "Telephonies" and find him working out to an exercise tape, leg warmers and all. The comedic effect of having an otherwise maniacal villain do something so mundane was brilliant when we were kids, and we can see it adding just as much pizzazz to the reboot.

When superheroes team up, we know we're in for a good showdown. When villains team up, we know we're in for a great one, and HIM and Mojo Jojo are no exception. They've had their differences in the past, but when they come together to take on the Powerpuff Girls, we can't help but feel like we've gotten two episodes for the price of one. Sure, they're wildly different villains, but that's what makes them such a great pair.

Townsville's equivalent of the devil himself, HIM is dark, sinister, manipulative, ruthless, and stylish to the bone. Was he the best choice of villain for a kids' cartoon? Probably not. But he definitely left a terrifying lasting impression in the minds of Powerpuff Girls fans and deserves a place right beside his BFF Mojo Jojo in the live-action reboot.
