## Buttercup

### Buttercup: 2004 - 2006

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls, but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction — Chemical X! Thus, The Powerpuff Girls were born. Using their ultra-super powers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!

At least, that's what the old ASIS propaganda commercials claimed with a catchy tune to it. The truth, however, is much different. The sisters were formed from an disgusting abomination that nearly killed Professor Utonium before he was able to cause it to explode. From the remains of the monster, three girls would form and claim the professor as their father.

Professor Utonium took the girls home and gave them names. The green-eyed girl was given the name Buttercup because... well, he named the other two Blossom and Bubbles and liked the alliteration, I guess. After giving them names, clothes, and food — the professor had questions for the girls.

Like her sisters, Buttercup vaguely remembers that she had once been part of an alien device known as a Motherbox. This is how she and her sisters were born preprogrammed with English and basic knowledge of Earth and customs. Another thing Buttercup knew was how to "whoop ass" and was more than happy to prove it when the cops came to arrest Utonium under suspicion of being a terrorist.

Ultimately, Utonium got the girls to allow him to surrender peacefully, but the police didn't have much choice but to let the superpowered children to go with their father. As Utonium was interrogated, Buttercup gave Special Agent Bellum a menacing glare that never relented. That is, until Utonium told Buttercup and her sisters to go prove they were on the side of angels by taking down Mojo Jojo and the rampaging terrors he had unleashed upon the city of Townsville.

When the girls returned victorious, Bellum made a deal to Utonium keep him out of prison for his part in all the havoc unleashed upon Townsville. The ASIS would pardon Utonium in exchange for his cooperation in branding the girls as a homegrown team of Australian heroes, akin to the United States' newly-minted Justice League of America. The name ASIS came up with was "The Powerpuff Girls".

A month or so later, Buttercup joined the professor and her sisters at some fancy digs that ASIS built especially for them — sparing no expense. Bellum herself would oversee the girls' training and public relations while a child specialist named Meg Keane would educate the girls and look after their basic needs. There was even a lab in the basement to allow Professor Utonium to continue his research with ASIS funding and keep him available to the girls who had grown quite fond of him.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Powerpuff Physiology:** Buttercup is the result of a lab accident. She has a fairly unique physiology, based off the genetic information of Drake Utonium and augmented by a number of other factors and likely organized into a sentient, sapient form by a Motherbox.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability:*** Buttercup is highly-resilient to blunt force trauma, extreme heat and cold, and many environmental dangers such as fire.
	+ ***Enhanced Senses:*** Buttercup can activate "Buttercup Vision" in which cause her eyes to glow and she can see through solid matter with thermal vision or see in darkness with exceptional nightvision.
	+ ***Enhanced Speed:*** Buttercup can run at speeds approaching the speed of sound (675 MPH/1086 km/h). That's not quite faster than a speeding bullet, but it's fast.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength:*** Buttercup can lift about six tons (~5500 kg) when calm. Likewise, she can hit with approximately 12,000 lbs (~5500 kg) of force per square inch of her fist. She is ranked as a Class IV in the Enhanced Strength bracket. **Note:** Buttercup has displayed even greater strength when she's in rage mode.
	+ ***Empathic Connection:*** Buttercup has an intense empathic link to her sisters. When her sisters are in pain, Buttercup will sense this. If she wills it, she can touch her sisters to absorb their pain — which usually makes Buttercup angry.
	+ ***Fireball:*** Buttercup can emit green fire (usually from her palms), which can shape into fireballs to launch at her enemies with tremendous force.
	+ ***Flight:*** Buttercup can defy gravity and fly at supersonic speed (fastest recorded speed: 800 MPH/1290 km/h). When in flight, Buttercup leaves a green energy trail in her wake that lingers in the air for several seconds, caused by residual particles. The gravity in the affected areas acts strangely until the color fades.
	+ ***Heat Vision:*** Buttercup can emit superheated beams from her eyes.
	+ ***Rage Mode:*** Buttercup's anger, pain, and general moodiness can be harnessed to activate what Blossom and Bubbles call "Rage Mode". As this power only shows up when Buttercup has been pushed beyond her limits, few have seen its startling display. When active, Buttercup appears possessed with glowing eyes, burning hands, and angry shouts replacing her sarcastic quips. Buttercup appears practically invulnerable to most forms of damage while showing greater strength and speed than usual.
	+ ***"Whoop-Ass" Instinct:*** Buttercup has a natural affinity for hurting people. She has a limited mastery of most martial arts forms she has encountered and can quickly figure out how to use a weapon — including improvised weaponry.

### Weaknesses

* **Burn-Out:** As rage mode continues or Buttercup continues to hurls fireballs in combat, the more its effect shows on her body. She begins to sweat and look more and more drained until she eventually collapses from dehydration.
* **Loved Ones:** Threatening Buttercup's family will earn her attention (and ire).
* **Sibling Rivalry:** Buttercup enjoys teasing Bubbles and challenging Blossom.
* **Ultraviolet Radiation:** Though the girls can endure the extreme heat of molten lava, their skin can still burn from overexposure to the sun's ray's. Buttercup and her sisters can and do suffer from sunburns if they don't use sunblock. However, the girls also require sunlight to recharge their powers.
* **Vice — Envy:** Buttercup is no stranger to the green-eyed monster. She tends to get cranky and upset when her sisters have something she does not.
* **Vice — Wrath:** Buttercup has a lot of anger management issues. She usually works through this anger by beating up criminals or punching a slap of meat. If she is worked up without an outlet nearby, she can become violent without notice.
* **Weakness — Antidote X:** Mojo Jojo has created a special chemical cocktail called "Antidote X" which can render the active Chemical X in the Powerpuff Girls' bodies inert. if exposed to Antidote X, Buttercup's biology does not allow for the absorption of Antidote X. Once it works through her system, her powers will return.
