Debut Series

As famously shown in the original series' opening scene, the girls were conceived by Professor Utonium in the basement of his laboratory, who initially meant to create the perfect little girl with a mixture of "sugar, spice, and everything nice." However, the professor accidentally smashed a container of Chemical X to the concoction, causing an explosion that hurled him back. Upon waking up to discover three girls floating in the air, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were born, which led to Utonium adopting them as his daughters. The accident Utonium caused was revealed to have been the result of his former chimp assistant Jojo, who pushed the Professor towards the Chemical X container. The same Chemical X explosion that created the girls also affected Jojo, who had been mutated to a superhuman intelligence, and upon seeing the love he immediately had for the girls, felt rejected and resentful despite the fact he caused the accident, left to become Mojo Jojo in a path towards supervillainy.

Development

Series creator Craig McCracken cites the live-action Japanese tokusatsu show Spectreman as inspiration for creating Mojo Jojo. He specifically referred to the character Dr. Gori, a green-skinned ape-like villain of the show's titular character, as the basis for Mojo's character design.

McCracken also cites Speed Racer (the English dub adaptation of the anime Mach GoGoGo) for Mojo's verbose and fast-paced style of dialogue.
