Bubbles Utonium, better known mononymously as just Bubbles, is a child superhero and one of the three titular characters in the Powerpuff Girls animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Kath Soucie, although it is better remembered by her successor, Tara Strong.

She is a member of the Powerpuff Girls, which also includes her other fraternal triplet sisters, Blossom and Buttercup. Together, they live with their father, Professor Utonium, in the city of Townsville, which they have become the official protectors of.

Utonium created the girls—albeit accidentally—while trying to create the perfect little girl with a mixture of "sugar, spice, and everything nice." He then accidentally added the extra ingredient of Chemical X, which created three little girls around the age of five-years old; complete with special powers such as being able to fly, super strength, and shooting lasers from their eyes.

Character description

Bubbles is a young girl sporting a light blue dress with a black-centered stripe, along with white stockings and black Mary Janes. She has blonde hair tied into neatly curved pigtails.

In the original series, she is portrayed as a 5-year old girl who attends Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, whilst fighting crime alongside her sisters Blossom and Buttercup.

Biography

The Joy and the Laughter

Bubbles, along with Blossom and Buttercup, was created in Professor Utonium's laboratory basement, when he wanted to artificially create the perfect little girl to be his daughter by mixing up a bowl of sugar, spice, and everything nice, but accidentally added the mysterious black vial of Chemical X. In reality, the accident was not the Professors's fault, but the result of his trouble-making lab assistant monkey, Jojo. The Chemical X caused an explosive chain reaction and out came not one but three little girls, each with their own superpowers. Jojo, meanwhile, had also been affected by the blast, causing his brain to expand above his head, along with increased intelligence that allowed him the power of speech. Even though Mojo had caused the accident, he grew resentful of the immediate love the Professor showed the girls, leaving the Utonium residence behind to begin a path of supervillainy. Both Professor Utonium and the girls blocked it from their memories soon after.

Bubbles Sells Out

In The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode "The Grim Adventures of KND," when the Kids Next Door arrives, Billy exclaims, "Hey! You're not the Powerpuff Girls!" Later in the episode, Bubbles and her sisters are some of the characters who exploded out of the Delightful Reaper.

In the Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa crossover episode "Say Uncle," Bubbles is one of the names on Uncle Grandpa's list.

Main article: List of pop culture references to Powerpuff Girls

• In The Parkers episode "Three's a Shag," Stevie wears a t-shirt with a print of Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup.
• In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body," a pink shirt with the three Powerpuff Girls is seen inside of Willow's closet, while she panics over what clothes to wear to her mother's funeral.
• In the X-Men: Evolution episode "Dark Horizon Part 1," Blob and Toad watch an ersatz-styled Powerpuff Girls show, where three girls resembling Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles fight a Mojo-looking bad guy. The off Bubbles in particular throws a glob of orange paint at off Mojo.
• In the Everwood episode "Extra Ordinary," Amy watches the episode "Mommy Fearest" in her room, specifically the scene where the girls are shopping at Malph's and the girls each have their own favorite snack they want Professor Utonium to buy.
• In the ER episode "Now What?," Hannah wears both a Powerpuff Girls t-shirt and a backpack at once.
• At the beginning of the Six Feet Under episode "Bomb Shelter," Mandy watches the very end of "Los Dos Mojos" in the back of the Gorodetskys' car, where the Narrator goes on a Mojo-like tangent while trying to end the episode. The Powerpuff Girls are briefly seen on the car TV, in front of the pulsating heart as they are replaced with "The End" sign.
• In the Degrassi: The Next Generation episode "Bark at the Moon," one of the questions to test out the true love test is one's favorite superhero, with Manny sheepishly asks Chester if Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls counts, to which he responds doesn't.
• In the Veronica Mars episode "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough," Veronica talks to Weevil's young niece Ophelia who carries a Powerpuff Girls backpack, which she wants to check if it has the stolen senior trip money. In a twist, it turns out Weevil did hide it in the backpack, but then had Ophelia hide it in the ball pit because he knew Veronica would come looking for him.
• In Fox's late night animation programming block Animation Domination High-Def, there was a sketch called "HBO's Powerpuff Girls," in which the Powerpuff Girls were depicted like the characters from HBO's Girls. When creating the girls, the Professor adds a dose of narcissism. They are now in their 20s and live in New York City. Even though they try to fight monsters still, they spend more time smoking, binge eating, and dating. Curiously, Bubbles goes on dates with Professor Dick Hardly, Mojo Jojo, Sedusa, and Snake.
• In the Fresh Off the Boat episode "Hal-Lou-Ween," three girls dress as the Powerpuff Girls on Halloween and go to the Huangs for candy, but receive raisins instead. Louis doesn't know who they're supposed to be and calls them "feminine insects," only to be corrected by the one dressed like Bubbles. They aren't happy with the raisins with the Bubbles one once again talking and telling them they ruined their childhoods.
• In the Amphibia episode "The Hardest Thing," when taking flight in their calamity forms, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy each leave a trail of the same distinctive colors as the Powerpuff Girls do.
• In the Disney+ film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip and Dale rescue a bunch of trademarked cartoon characters who have been bootlegged by Sweet Pete (Peter Pan), which includes Bubbles.
