### Amoeba Jr.: 2004 - 2006

The Amoeba Boys were created in the summer of 2004 in the same lab accident that gave rise to the Powerpuff Girls and led to the criminal career of Mojo Jojo. It was Mojo Jojo who first took notice of the potential for the residue left behind after the explosion that created Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Mojo Jojo had returned to the lab to investigate the aftermath of the explosion that he had originally fled from. He noticed that the mess left behind was attempting to assemble in a vaguely sapient form but lacked stability and would collapse into ooze shortly after forming. Mojo Jojo collected the slime and took it to his makeshift lab.

Mojo Jojo was able to combine additional chemicals into the slime to give them enhanced stability, along while retaining their malleable nature. At first, the slimes were little more than mindless blobs of sentient slime. They were named Buck, Slim, and Junior. However, with their ability to absorb information from organic and digital sources, they gained intelligence and the ability to maintain a mostly sapient form. In particular, they became rather fond of old gangster movies and while robbing a high-end haberdashery they had the means to accessorize their look.

After their first run-in with the Powerpuff Girls, the Amoeba Boys were defeated and their remains were scattered across Townsville. They spent most of their time over the next two years trying to survive on the streets of Townsville, avoiding humans and other threats, while they regained their forms and found each other.

### Amoeba Jr.: 2006 - 2009

As the Amoeba Boys regained their forms and rediscovered each other, they grew in power and intelligence. With limited skills (or interest) outside of criminality, the Amoeba Boys began to attract the attention of the criminal underworld. Buck had changed his name to "Boss", becoming the spokesman and brains of the operation, and began to sell their services to Townsville's Most Wanted. The three were often employed by their mentor Mojo Jojo, but they also worked for other villains such as HIM, Princess Morbucks, and even Fuzzy Lumpkins.

### Amoeba Jr.: 2009 - 2010

The Amoebas became known for their destructive tendencies, causing chaos and mayhem wherever they went. They were often used as brutes and enforcers, using their powerful abilities to overpower the police and wreak havoc across Townsville. With experience, they even would pose a challenge for the Powerpuff Girls.

Despite their reputation as villains, the Amoeba Boys maintained a strong sense of loyalty to each other. During this time, the Amoeba Boys continued to work for various villains in Townsville, but they also began to strike out on their own. They would often cause rampant destruction and chaos just for the fun of it, reveling in their power and abilities with no clear motive or objective. As the months went on, the Amoeba Boys grew increasingly powerful and dangerous. They had become a force to be reckoned with in Townsville, feared by both police and criminals alike.

This culminated in another confrontation with the Powerpuff Girls. Due to the Amoebas increasingly destructive actions, this forced the Girls to unleash their powers in order to stop the Amoebas with a more permanent solution than normal. Their remains were believed destroyed for good.

### Amoeba Jr.: 2015 - Present

However, the Amoebas were not as destroyed as believed. They were able to regrow from trace residue left on surfaces in their final confrontation with the PPG. It took them the better part of five years, but they returned to life and with another visit to the haberdashery, the Amoebas were back in business.

Upon their return, the Amoeba Boys were not as powerful, as they had been prior to their destruction. They would have to start from scratch in many ways, but this also meant they were willing to do whatever it took to achieve their goals. In some ways, they were more dangerous than ever. However, they did have one thing going for them... the people of Townsville no longer had their trio of champions.

## Personality

The Amoeba Boys are mischievous and anarchic beings that love to cause destruction and chaos wherever they go. They have no regard for rules or authority and will do whatever it takes to survive and thrive in their surroundings. They have a childlike quality about them, often behaving in a way that is playful and carefree.

Junior may be the smallest of the Amoeba Boys, but what he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in sadism. He delights in causing pain and suffering, often coming up with cruel and unusual ways to torture his victims. His favorite pastime is to capture small animals and torture them for his own amusement, often dissolving their limbs off one by one or subjecting them to other gruesome fates.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Slime Physiology:** The Amoeba Boys can change their shape, size, and density at will. They can stretch, flatten and mold themselves into any form. The Amoeba Boys can also drop or sling excess portions of themselves and temporarily manipulate those remote extensions of themselves. They can also use these detachments to crystallize into the shape of simple objects. The slime can also be acidic or toxic, depending on how it's created.
	+ ***Absorption:*** The Amoeba Boys can absorb chemicals and matter, allowing them to alter their bodies' properties for a brief period of time. The Amoeba Boys can also absorb the genetic material of lifeforms, dissolving their bodies and allowing them to gain their memories (and metahuman abilities) until the material is completely used up (usually takes two to three weeks).
	+ ***Digital Osmosis:*** The Amoeba Boys can absorb information stored digitally by placing the devices or storage media into their mass. They can also meld with machines and electrical devices in a similar manner to take control of such objects.
	+ ***Invisibility:*** The Amoeba Boys can turn invisible by altering their refractive index to bend light around them. However, they must remain still and motionless for this to be effective. This power is usually for stealth or escape.
	+ ***Life Drain:*** The Amoeba Boys can drain the life force of others by coming into contact with them, rendering them unconscious or killing them outright. This power is usually used to gain sustenance or as a form of attack. This allows them to gain the memories and skills of their victims for a brief period of time (they can retain this information for six to ten hours, depending on the length of contact).
	+ ***Regeneration:*** Overtime, with absorption of matter and energy, the Amoebas can regenerate any part of their body that's been damaged or destroyed. They can also absorb other materials or substances to regenerate their mass if necessary.

### Weaknesses

* **Antidote X** Though created to render the active Chemical X in the Powerpuff Girls' bodies inert, Antidote X also works on the Amoeba Boys. If exposed to Antidote X, the Amoebas' biology breaks down at an accelerated rate.
* **Electricity:** Electric shocks can short-circuit the Amoeba Boy's slime bodies, rendering them temporarily paralyzed.
* **Extreme Temperatures:** Extreme heat or cold can also affect the chemical bonds of the Amoeba Boy's bodies, causing them to melt or freeze solid.
* **Kinetic Force:** Strong explosions or severe impacts can cause the Amoeba Boy to lose cohesion, rendering them unconscious or incapacitated.
* **Water:** Being doused completely in water (or other fluids) for a prolonged period of time can dissolve and disintegrate the Amoebas' bodies, requiring them to reconstruct themselves through great effort.
