## Physical Description

### Background

Snips, snails, and puppy-dog tails. These were the ingredients chosen to create the worst little boys, but Mojo Jojo intentionally added an extra ingredient to the concoction — Chemical X! Thus, The Rowdyruff Boys were born. Using their awful superpowers, Brick, Boomer, and Butch have squandered their lives to committing crime and unleashing evil!

If you ask me, that's what an ASIS commercial would claim, complete with a catchy tune to it, if it were so motivated to advertise the villainy of these boys. However, much like with the Powerpuff Girls, the Rowdyruff Boys' true origin is quite different. But before we get to that, it's important to cover the reason for their creation.

The origin of the Rowdyruff Boys goes back to the debut of the Powerpuff Girls. Mojo Jojo had just attempted his first real scheme against the citizens of Townsville, with the support of the Amoeba Boys. His plan likely would have worked as ASIS was woefully unequipped for meta-crime at the time, much like most of the world. However, Mojo Jojo does not rule Australia with an iron first as the Powerpuff Girls were quick to intervene and put the Chemical X-enhanced chimp behind bars.

Somewhere between Mojo Jojo's arrest and his eventual escape (Australia was also woefully unprepared to house meta-criminals), the concept of the Rowdyruff Boys' creation began. The idea was nourished for several months in a prison cell and once the chimpanzee convict concocter was back on free soil, the idea formed into a plan.

First, Mojo Jojo waited for the heat to die down, then he infiltrated the Powerpuff Residence and collected samples of the Powerpuff DNA. Likely from hairbrushes and toothbrushes (and possibly from Drake Utonium's lab as he had been conducting vulnerability tests on the girls at the time). Mojo Jojo then broke into some labs across Townsville to study the DNA samples in order to get a better grasp on exactly what the Powerpuff Girls were.

With step one completed, Mojo Jojo moved onto the next stage in his plan. The criminal chimp robbed various labs and ASIS warehouses in order to acquire the equipment and ingredients he would need to create his own superpowered children. Having been Utonium's lab experiment previously, Mojo Jojo knew the exact contents of the cabinet in which the PPG were born, so he knew exactly what he needed to get: kryptonite, a Motherbox, and Chemical X. While ASIS didn't have a Motherbox at the time, Mojo Jojo was somehow able to secure a Fatherbox. Of course, once Utonium was alerted to the stolen wares and rumors of a Fatherbox in Australia, he also suspected what Mojo Jojo was up to, and he promptly urged his daughters to capture Mojo Jojo before it was too late.

The race was on. Mojo Jojo assembled a supercomputer to analyze the genetic material in order to quantify the exact portions and conditions required to duplicate the Powerpuff Girls. When the PPG tracked Mojo Jojo down, he had enough time to commit the supercomputer's findings to memory before his face was repeatedly smashed into the computer, destroying it beyond repair.

When Mojo Jojo was arrested again, ASIS knew what he was planning, but they were unable to find where he had stashed the stolen alien tech and minerals. The chimpanzee was sent back to prison, but he promptly escaped once again, this time with the aid of the demon known as His Infernal Majesty. Some speculate that HIM provided Mojo Jojo with the Fatherbox and HIM had stashed the ingredients in some parallel dimension outside ASIS and Powerpuff scrutiny.

The same night that Mojo Jojo escaped prison with a little help from his demon, Sara Bellum, Meg Keane, and Emma Goode were convened at the Utonium Residence to plan a national tour of the Powerpuff Girls; Utonium was in Sydney giving a keynote speech at a science conference; and The Powerpuff Girls were looking into rumors of a swamp creature to the East of Townsville. Without warning, Mojo Jojo and HIM broke into the Utonium Residence and kidnapped the three women. While Mojo Jojo had intended to kidnap the professor, he thought the women were important enough to the girls that they would also make valuable hostages.

That night, back at his lab, Mojo Jojo put the ingredients together following his careful formula. The amorphous blob created was then dumped through the barred ceiling of the cage where an unconscious Sara Bellum, Meg Keane, and Emma Goode were restrained. The original plan was to sacrifice all three women to hungry mass, hoping the extra genetic material would make a more powerful being, but at the last minute, Mojo Jojo became concerned that the fire extinguisher Utonium used may have been an essential ingredient in the chemical process, and so he threw the canister into the cell.

Having heard the explosion during their investigation, the Powerpuff Girls rushed to the secret lab where they found the three women imprisoned, covered in a familiar goo, and confused as to how they had gotten there — but were otherwise unharmed.

### Brick Mojo: 2005 - 2006

Of course, the explosion that had alerted the PPG to the secret lab's presence had also birthed Brick, Boomer, and Butch. Unlike the Powerpuff Girls who were created by the essence of a feminine Motherbox, these Rowdyruff Boys had the masculine energy of a Fatherbox to inform their creation, shaping them into a male form. Also, in contrast to the PPG being sisters, each one a genetic daughter/partial-clone of Drake Utonium, each of the Rowdyruff Boys had a different mother.

In the case of Brick, he appears to have had his human genetics duplicated from the genetic code of Sara Bellum. This makes him "Batch Brothers" to Boomer and Butch. The notable genetic differences appear to have made the Rowdyruff Boys more genetically diverse than the PPG, but also less synergetic. Though, the manner in which the Boys were raised may have more to do with their lack of brotherly love and team cohesion.

Speaking of their upbringing, after their creation, the Boys were apparently hauled off to another dimension so HIM and Mojo Jojo could train them. Time may have flowed differently in this alternate reality. Just a few months after the kidnapping of Bellum, Keane, and Goode, the Rowdyruff Boys appeared seemingly as peers to the Powerpuff Girls, ready to crash the Girls' big birthday bash celebration.

The fight that ensued was considerable. It lasted for the better part of a day. Superman was called in and en route, as was the Flash and Wonder Woman. In the end, the Powerpuff Girls were victorious through the use of teamwork and quick-thinking. Though Brick, Boomer, and Butch managed to escape after getting humiliated by the Powerpuff Girls, Mojo Jojo was captured.

During their time on their own, the Rowdyruff Boys engaged in various petty crimes. They had a few run-ins with the Powerpuff Girls, but nothing major came of any incident. The best the Boys could do on their own was to fight the Girls to a stalemate. However, without any parental guidance to monitor their nutrition, the Boys ate mostly junk food and their health was affected, limiting their powers' effectiveness, meaning the Girls usually wiped the floor with them.

When Mojo Jojo was once again free (yeah, this was a trend for a few years before ASIS stepped up meta-crime correctional institutions), he took the Rowdyruff Boys back in and began to use them to commit crimes to gain resources for his research and inventions. HIM and Mojo Jojo had a falling out during this time as they disagreed on how to raise "their" children, with Mojo Jojo actually feeling some responsibility for his creations.

Mojo Jojo's big scheme this time was to create Antidote X, a chemical counter to to Chemical X that would render the Powerpuff Girls powerless. However, when he poisoned the Girls with this and then sent the Rowdyruff Boys to finish them off, Blossom deduced they had been poisoned and encouraged her sisters to give the Boys a big sloppy kiss to the lips in order to give them a taste of their own medicine. When the Antidote X kicked in, the Girls then just had to call for an adult to help them. Drake Utonium was more than happy to show the Boys what happens to bullies.

The Boys were then imprisoned off-world by the Green Lantern Corps. They were only in the Sciencells for a month before HIM broke them out and took them under his claw. He quickly put them to work against the Powerpuff Girls, but they were quickly defeated thanks to Utonium's clever reworking of a Y-chromosome-targeting variation of Antidote X in a gel form, easily applied as a lip balm. The Rowdyruff Boys stood no chance against the Powerpuff Girls and their "Cooties."

For the rematch, HIM made sure to steal the rest of Utonium's supply of Cooties. When the Rowdyruff Boys didn't want to fight the Powerpuff Girls anymore, HIM threatened them with his supply of Cooties, forcing them to again face Townsville's champions, this time, though they fought without restraint as HIM had compelled them to kill the Girls or else he would kill them.

The Rowdyruff Boys were prepared to do what they must with HIM nearby urging them on, but before any Rowdyruff was forced into delivering a killing blow to a Powerpuff or vice versa, Mojo Jojo showed up armed with an exorcism spell. The nefarious demon was cast off our Earthly plane, allowing the daughters of Utonium and the sons of Mojo to call that fight a draw and each peacefully go their separate ways.

I doubt this will be the last time the RRB and the PPG throwdown. However, I suppose only time will tell what comes of their next encounter.

### Brick Mojo: 2006 - 2007

The Rowdyruff Boys continue committing crimes under Mojo Jojo's guidance. However, they become increasingly frustrated with their father's schemes.

### Brick Mojo: 2007 - 2008

The Boys' disillusionment with Mojo Jojo grows, but they have difficulty envisioning a different life for themselves. They continue committing crimes, albeit with less enthusiasm. Several times when tasked to attack the PPG or commit crime, they defy their father to do something else.

### Brick Mojo: 2008 - 2009

Despite their doubts, the Boys remain with Mojo Jojo until July 2009. When the RRB decide to leave Mojo Jojo and strike out on their own, they continue to engage in criminal activities on their own, unsure of how to change their ways. Chaos, crime, and violence is really most of what they know.

### Brick Mojo: 2009 - 2010

As their independent criminal lifestyle persists, the RRB realize that they're not happy, they're mad at each other more and more. Things get to a head. Brick and Boomer get into a fight. Brick nearly kills Boomer and then Butch nearly kills Brick until Boomer stops him. The brothers make up and decide that what they need is a fresh start. Knowing that Australia would be unlikely to gove them a second chance, they set out to find a new life. They begin traveling the world, committing petty crimes in various countries and evading law enforcement — but only when they have to and never resorting to violent crimes.

### Brick Mojo: 2010 - 2011:

While in Europe, the Boys encounter the Powerpuff Girls, who are on their World Tour. The Boys and Girls engage in a "friendly" fight for old times' sake, after which the Girls see the Boys' progress and encourage them to keep on their path... deciding not to turn the Boys in to ARGUS but promising that if the Boys stray towars violence again, the Girls will come after them.

### Brick Mojo: 2011 - 2013

The Boys decide to assist the Powerpuff Girls while they are fighting a forest fire in Northern California, marking the beginning of their path toward actual heroism. After this, they still struggle with their criminal past, as they have run-ins with HIM and Mojo Jojo who both try to tempt them or coerce them back into their criminal ways.

### Brick Mojo: 2013

Empowered by the Hell on Earth event, HIM manages to put the Boys under an infernal mind control spell. He sends the Boys to kill the Powerpuff Girls. To lure the Girls to them, the Boys let loose with their powers in South America. The Girls respond to this rather than helping in the Hell on Earth crisis. The Boys are defeated when the Girls manage to compel them to resist HIM's influence.

### Brick Mojo: 2013

Empowered by the Hell on Earth event, HIM manages to put the Boys under an infernal mind control spell. He sends the Boys to kill the Powerpuff Girls. To lure the Girls to them, the Boys let loose with their powers in South America. The Girls respond to this rather than helping in the Hell on Earth crisis. The Boys are defeated when the Girls manage to compel them to resist HIM's influence.

### Brick Mojo: 2013 - 2014

Seeing the devastation they wrought, the Boys turn themselves into ARGUS, believing they will always be a threat to others until they commit to making a difference.

### Brick Mojo: 2014 - 2015

The Boys are kept imprisoned and given chemical treatments and inhibitor collars to make sure they don't escape. However, the Boys are considered model prisoners.

### Brick Mojo: 2015 - 2016

Mojo Jojo is imprisoned and attempts to use the Boys to aid him in an escape. However, the Boys instead assist authorities in preventing the escape of Mojo Jojo and quelling a riot that Mojo Jojo was using as a cover for his escape. As a result, the remainder of their sentence is suspended and the Boys are given an early parole.

### Brick Mojo: 2016 - Present

Having demonstrated their commitment to redemption, the Boys leave prison and use an investment from an anonymous benefactor to open a roadhouse-style tavern on the outskirts of Townsville called the Rowdy Room. Brick handles the books, Boomer entertains the crowds, and Butch runs the bar.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Rowdyruff Physiology:** Brick is the result of a lab experiment. He has a rather unique physiology, based on the genetic information of a human template and augmented by a number of other factors and organized into a sentient, sapient form by the remnants of a Fatherbox.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability:*** Brick is highly resilient to blunt force trauma, extreme heat and cold, and many environmental dangers such as fire.
	+ ***Enhanced Senses:*** Brick has heightened senses approximately ten times more potent than those of an average human. He can also activate an enhanced visual mode he calls "Brick Vision" which causes his eyes to glow and allows him to see in absolute darkness and allows him to 'detach' his perception from himself, thus enabling him to view another area remotely. The range of this appears to be fairly limited and is affected by heavily dense barriers, such as concrete or steel walls. In ideal conditions, he can view half a mile away from himself.
	+ ***Enhanced Speed:*** Brick 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:*** Brick can lift about four tons (~3600 kg). Likewise, he can hit with approximately 8000 lbs (~3600 kg) of force per square inch of his fist. He is ranked Class III in the Enhanced Strength bracket.
	+ ***Empathic Connection:*** Brick has an intense empathic link to not only his brothers, but also the Powerpuff Girls (possibly to other similar beings to himself). When he is angry, he can channel that emotion to such beings to provoke them into violent action. While the impulse can be resisted, doing so can be quite taxing and may cause severe headaches or psychic feedback.
	+ ***Electrokinesis:*** Brick can emit pink lightning from his body (usually his palms). With concentration, he can also absorb electricity into his body and redirect it. There is a limit to how much electricity he can absorb without injury. It is worth noting that his electric shock is somewhat less powerful than those emitted by his Powerpuff Girl counterpart, Blossom.
	+ ***Flight:*** Brick can defy gravity and fly at supersonic speed (fastest recorded speed: 800 MPH/1290 km/h). When in flight, Brick leaves a red energy trail in his 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.
	+ ***Goo Spit:*** Brick can eject a foul-smelling orange mucus from his mouth which can quickly harden upon contact with oxygen. By controlling the velocity of its launch, Brick can cause the spit to harden mid-flight to deliver a ranged kinetic attack at a target or cover his target in the odorous substance before it quickly solidifies, weighing them down or encasing them in the substance and possibly incapacitating or immobilizing them as a result.
	+ ***Laser Vision:*** Brick can emit superheated light particles from his eyes.
	+ ***Photographic Muscle Memory:*** Brick can quickly learn complex physical skills and talents by watching others. He retains such skills for long periods of time. If the skill requires complex mental or social skills in combination, Brick does not master those particular facets at the same rate, but once he has mastered the physicality, he may have considerable ease in learning the other required elements. As a result of this, Brick is a talented skateboarder, locksmith, gymnast, and martial artist - among other things.
* **Leader of the Rowdyruff Boys:** Brick is the leader and the commander of the Rowdyruff Boys. While he is charismatic and tries to be at least somewhat strategic, he is not particularly organized or motivated. He mostly leads by fear and violence.
* **Genius Intellect?:** Being Blossom's counterpart, it is highly suspected that Brick is much more intelligent than he appears. It is possible that he chooses not to fully apply himself. It may also be possible that Blossom's intelligence is not tied to her particular genetic makeup.

### Weaknesses

* **Chauvinism:** Brick firmly believes that girls are inferior to boys. "Boys rule, girls drool" is something he will exclaim repeatedly. This leads him to grossly underestimate a female's capability.
* **Sibling Rivalry:** Brick is prone to bullying and belittling Boomer, often over petty matters. The Powerpuff Girls have defeated the Rowdyruff Boys in the past by turning these two against each other with considerable ease.
* **Ultraviolet Radiation:** Though Brick can endure the extreme heat of molten lava, his skin can still burn from overexposure to the sun's rays. Brick and the other Rowdyruff Boys can and do suffer from sunburns if they don't use sunblock. However, they also require sunlight to recharge their powers.
* **Vice — Sloth:** If Brick isn't doing something that he wants to do, he will lack motivation and put in little to no effort.
* **Vice — Wrath:** Brick can quickly lose his temper and become violent. He often chooses violence over other solutions.
* **Weakness — Antidote X:** Mojo Jojo has created a special chemical cocktail called "Antidote X" which can render the active Chemical X in the bodies of the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys inert. If exposed to Antidote X, Brick's biology does not allow for the absorption of Antidote X. Once it works through his system, his powers will return. Similarly, Professor Utonium created a variant of this that works only on those with a Y chromosome, which he dubbed "cooties." However, the components required to develop the singularly male-targeted Antidote X appear to be too prohibitive to reproduce after H.I.M. stole the last batch (and used it to threaten the Rowdyruff Boys into working for him).

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* Brick enjoys music, particularly classic rock (especially "southern rock" and "punk rock"), heavy metal, and of course "Oz Rock." His favorite band is AC/DC.
* Though it seems likely that Sara Bellum is the genetic template for Brick, and thus his "mother," it may be that his hair is simply a manifestation of the type of Kryptonite found in his portion of the birthing mass, which appears to have been the case with Blossom. It is also possible that Sara Bellum is simply one of three "mothers" that Brick has or possibly the "primary mother." However, as she did not give birth to him and did not raise him, Sara Bellum claims no parental relationship to Brick and will not until irrefutable proof is given.
* Brick's favorite food seems to be bacon cheeseburgers.
* He usually bullies Boomer. Though Butch will join in the bullying of Boomer with Brick, he will stop when he thinks that Brick has crossed a line (unless he's told to continue). When he finds that the bullying has become excessive, he will stand up for Boomer and tell Brick to knock it off. It appears that Butch only allows Boomer to be bullied by Brick as any other bullying of Boomer will quickly earn Butch's ire. Further, if Brick is insulted or attacked by outside forces, Butch will quickly come to his brother's defense.
* He has a Matcheroo app under the name BrickPics.

### Notes

* Brick is a character from the *Powerpuff Girls* animated series.
