Professor Utonium

Professor Utonium is one of the main characters from The Powerpuff Girls series.
== Charactah Account ==
Professor Utonium is the brilliant scientist who created the girls in his lab. He acts as a father figure, caring for them as a single parent would. He's enthusiastic about his work and cooks up all sorts of inventions and experiments in his lab.
According to his past, mentioned in Get Back Jojo, Utonium started out as a terrible brat who had no interest in education, let alone science; but when three "perfect little girls" from the future rescued him from Mojo Jojo, Utonium became so obsessed with science that he eventually created the trio we know today.
He is overprotective of the Girls. He is a very affectionate and supportive father, whose pep talks often bring the girls around when they are discouraged. While he is sometimes portrayed as rather skittish, he can be reasonably strict with the girls when he needs to be, particularly when they were falling asleep in school.

== Trivia ==
* The voice of the Professor is based on the late veteran voice actor Gary Owens.
* The Professor's voice actor, Tom Kane was in both the original and reboot. Coincidentally, he also voices HIM in both reboots.
* The Professor was inspired by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs of the Church of the Subgeniuses.
* In the promo Whoopass Stew episode, he looked like an older version of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory without hair.
* While the real last name of the Powerpuff Girls was never revealed on the show, it can be assumed that "Utonium" is their surname since the Professor is technically their dad.
* One thing that would indicate that Utonium is the girls' last name is when the Professor said, "We're Utoniums." In "Roughing It Up," when the girls got mad at Fuzzy Lumpkins and his three nephews.

* It was revealed in "Uh-Oh, Dynamo" that the Professor is left-handed.
* In the episode "Mommy Fearest", he is shown sleeping in a double bed alone, implying that he was married at one point. Since his previous wife was not seen or mentioned throughout the series, which means she could have passed away.
* It is revealed in the animated short Ping Pong Z that Professor Utonium has a deceased mother named Mumu, whose cremated ashes stand on a shelf in the living room; effectively making this incarnation of Utonium the first to have his mother directly alluded to.
* He happens to be non-arachnophobic (not afraid of spiders), revealed in Arachno-Romance, and doesn't know how to use a computer in Viral Spiral, unlike his 1998 incarnation.
