Amoeba Boys

Amoeba Boys

## Overview

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* They are frequent brutes used by the other masterminds. They often cause rampant destruction on their own for no reason other than to find sustenance or wreak havoc after having escaped captivity by humans for breaking the "laws" that they don't acknowledge.
* Mojo managed to salvage some Element X from their bodies, which was used to create three clones of the Powerpuff Girls.

### Notes

* Amoeba Boys are a group from the *Powerpuff Girls* animated series.
* More than just floating amoeba with hats, the Amoeba Boys are reimagined as Clayface-like slime golems with sentience.
