Ace D. Copular

**Ace D. Copular**, also known as **Ace**, is a character from *The Powerpuff Girls* series.

Ace is the leader of the Gangreen Gang.

In the XP4 Fics, Ace debuted in the XP4 Heroes of the Multiverse - All-Star Adventures.

## **Appearance**

He is 17 years old - the oldest of the Gang. Ace's height is 6'1" tall and he has a long, pointy chin. He sports a long, straight, greasy, slick-back hairdo, a blue and orange vest-jacket, a pair of shades, a thin mustache, and even fangs.

## **Personality**

Ace is the Gang's leader and a punk, and a mean-spirited, bullying, opportunistic rogue. When he speaks, he sounds like the typical juvenile delinquent—mean and disrespectful. He has a nasally Italian New Yorker accent. As the Gang's smartest member, he is the instigator of most of their antisocial activities, and he does possess a certain charismatic charm that allows him to sweet-talk people who ought to know better, such as Buttercup in the episode "Buttercrush."

### **XP4 Heroes of the Multiverse - All-Star Adventures**

In Chapter 28, Ace, alongside Professor Utonium, arrives at the junkyard area of Townville where Ace asked the professor for help in finding out of what happened to the rest of the Gangreen Gang and upon using a device, they then discovered the rest of the Gangreen Gang became victims of Antonio Cueto and Matanza Cueto, much to their shock and horror. Later that day, Ace and the professor then met up with Blisstina "Bliss" Utonium, Blossom Utonium and Buttercup Utonium at the Utonium Residence where they told them that the rest of the Gangreen Gang became the latest victims of the Cuetos, Ace then revealed his intentions of joining the Grand Empire.

In Chapter 29, Ace is seen being shown around by Bubbles Utonium inside the main base of the Grand Empire and after their tour concluded, he thanked Bubbles and made his way to the sick bay for a medical evaluation.

## **Abilities**

Ace is a natural leader and manipulator, being able to lead the Gangreen Gang into many of their exploits and can take advantage of others, even people like Buttercup and Ms. Keane.

In "Power Lunch," he temporarily had cryokinesis, the ability to generate ice and snow, similar to Blossom's ice breath.

## **Trivia**

* In the Powerpuff story, "Buttercup and the Mind-Reading Juice" it is shown that Ace has aquaphobia, (meaning he's afraid of water).
* However, he was able to drink slushies, and it gave him ice powers, as ice also comes from water. Moreover, he was seen in the rain in The Powerpuff Girls Movie. In the anime, he was sitting in a hot tub in one episode. However, this could be considered an alternate universe.
* Ace has pink eyes, but in the episodes: "Power Lunch" and "Bang for Your Buck" they are turned white. In the episode Bought and Scold his eyes are pink for a few frames and for a few frames white.
* Ace's favorite snacks are ice cream, popsicles, and Slurpees.
* In Fusion Fall, he was 25 years old.
* Ace, as well as the rest of the Gangreen Gang, likes chocolate milk (as seen in the Powerpuff Girls chocolate milk commercial).
* He seems to like a lot of rock music, as seen in Buttercrush. Also, Mr. Wednesday called him and his gang Punks.
* The whole gang likes pizza.
* It should be noted that, unlike most villains who go out of their way to create evil plans, Ace only does so when he sees an opportunity — such as exploiting Buttercup's crush on him, gaining superpowers or teaming up with all the other villains.
* Most episodes have shown Ace punching Snake.
* A Gorillaz animation reveals that he has a Switchblade, similar to the one he used in Twisted Sister.
* Due to complications with their deal with Cartoon Network, Ace was not allowed to speak during his tenure as Gorillaz's bassist. Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett revealed the music video for "Tranz," in which Ace is prominently featured, originally included a spoken introduction where Ace would have interacted with the singer 2-D, but the process of getting the dialogue approved by Cartoon Network and bringing Jeff Bennett in to record the lines would have added too much to the budget.
* After leaving Gorillaz and returning to Townsville, Ace became a doomsday prepper and moved to the desert. In Murdoc's commentary for Humility's music video, he says that Ace sent him a letter saying that he moved to the desert and stockpile on food and weapons, waiting for something called "the endless dark".
