- HIM Origins - A mysterious demonic being who was scarier than Mojo Jojo in the Powerpuff girls
#powerpuffgirls #cartoonnetwork #90scartoons
For some reason as a child everytime I’d see him on the screen I just got this eerie feeling nd was always disturbed by HIM
His voice is too eeire
Crazy once you think about it
It was his voice lol
Same.
@@viperskiss6655 exactly
So the name Him is actually initials or short variation for His Inferno Majesty, never occurred to me before really!
Infernal
I always thought they just called him "him" because his real name made him more powerful or maybe it wasnt something you could say
I always thought that "HIM" was a subtle way of saying Satan, but at the same time, amazing creativity with that acromyn!
There's actually a band that popularized that acronym before PPG so maybe that's where the inspiration came from. Their music is very Gothic and eerie but beautifully powerful at the same time
I thought it was HIM because of the feminine features and heels. Kinda like an irony thing
HIM is forever the most evil being in a children's cartoon that still haunts me but admire the effort they made him an memorable villain
HIM was scary, but no villain can stand up to the bubbly personality of Bubbles
Maybe, but after having her buttons pushed too many times, she'd make sure someone's in critical condition at the hospital
Bubbles mecame mojo jojo once lol
@@johnynoway9127 exactly
Bubbles is the best I love bubbles
Angry Or Mojo Jojo Bubbles Were The Best Version Of Bubbles. Period!
I thought he was supposed to be a sexually confused Satan 😅 he was quite hilarious when he had temper tantrums
Same!!
He’s a creepy trans
he represented both male and female aspect of this evil entity as you can also hear from the duality in its voice.
Or creators are just a bunch of bigots who depicted the only trans person in their show as epiphany of all evil, idk
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Ocelot835 you’re too gen z to be here lol
Him probably one of the most scares cartoon characters ever
If you guys really pay attention you would see the scariest as hell terrifying truth about this character. HIM does what he does because he bored and he honestly is just playing with them.
Reminds me of Q on Star Trek The Next Generation. If ya know ya know.
If you don’t, get past the social stigma of Star Trek and give it a whirl. It has wholesome messaging and interesting possibilities and impossibilities.
@@VespasianJudea true, but at the end of the day. Even Q has motivations beyond he's just bored. For Q is an end goal. However for HIM there isn't one which is why him being bored and just playing with them is way more terrifying
@themidnightspectrumclub726 actually no but I like the thought. The joker is more a kin to the gangrene gang where as him is closer to a 5th dimensional imp. Where in they could just blink everyone out of existence but they don't because it's more entertaining to just mess with people.
Scary truth @blueknight10 is that is represents the baphomet. androgynous Beast with female breasts and a males penis. The people who run our world are satanic pedohphiles who extract blood (Adrenachrome) from young innocents to consume. Monsters inc for example is all about adrenchrome extraction. We live in a satanic ritual.
I always assumed HIM's outfit was some kind of Santa Clause outfit lol.
Lol yeah, with similarities
It is he was supposed to be called Satan claws but this video never mentions that
@@16driver16 ohhh! interesting
I swear I thought he was dressed as Santa 😂
What kind of Santa has been sliding through your chimney?😂
Sadly HIM could not exist in cartoons today. He was hands down one of the best cartoon villains.
Literally exists in the reboot they show in this video
@@Flipitmixit true but they reduced his scariness drastically
Yes he could!
@@facethebass thank god the shitty reboot got cancelled. Now i hope Craig brings Him back on the reboot he's producing
@@facethebass ofc cuz LGBTQIAA++ characters could never be bad! Ugh stupid woke bs
HIM is definitely the "Pennywise" of PPG universe villains
As a kid when I saw HIM take control of Octy I was freaked out because I already knew he was a devil but this was like watching it just solidified my fear
It’s the way he was transforming to octi saying “I’m wining I’m wining” that’s got my fucked up but him as always been my favorite character of ppg
They knew what they was doing with that character back in the day
Which was ???
@@tswelopeleseleka9641 him being a Androgynous, which is hated by most religions groups for either being non masculine, gay or trans like. Him acting all sexual with anyone is also frowned upon by most religions. Added that with his demonic features and feats makes him the ultimate representation of what religious people hate.
@@mandalorianhunter1 on top of that, they actually "toned down" the original devilish features of Him quite a bit...originally Him was supposed to have pointy horns on his head like the ones of a goat (Satan/Baphomet), sharp teeth visible in his mouth all the time and also a long devil tail that he could use as a weapon, but then they realised it was too much for a kid show so they removed those from his design
@@vados8500 which is good because it would have been overkill imo
@@mandalorianhunter1 that is SUCH a reach NOTHING to do with lgbtq the DEVIL is portrayed like that, simple.
Him was so scary as a kid but I always found him really intriguing too. Now he's one of my favorites
Him was supposed to be called Satan-claws, hence his half satan and half santa appearance but the network wouldnt allow it. the power-puff girls were supposed to be the whoop-ass girls.
Or even Satin Claws, given his fondness for women's clothing.
👏show👏me 👏the👏proof
Lol ohhh
@@nikovanegas2735look it up. there’s videos of the whoop ass girls pilot on youtube bruh.
They really should’ve went by “The Whoop Ass Girls”
IDK why Mojo Jojo was the PPG's arch nemesis when HIM always gave them a run for their money.
Well, I guess Mojo was easier to get a grip, being in the same dimension and everything. And, let's remember: HIM and Mojo are fathers of the Rowdy Boys. And I'll die saying that PPG and Steven Universe were by far the most progressive mainstream cartoons ever.
It’s not uncommon for stories to have the arch nemesis who’s the main villain and on par with the protagonist, but also an ultimate evil who truly poses as an existential threat to everyone, sometimes including the nemesis as well.
Mojo Jojo was more like the funny bad guy which felt safe compared to Him that looked like the Devil in disguise.😮
HIM was more a "Nah, he is on a whole another Level, we Don't want to face HIM".
daddy issues
When it comes to HIM, he's probably one of my favorite villains in animation and honestly a really cool concept for a character overall. He was easily the best villain next to Mojo and I love a villain with flamboyant mannerisms or layers of caring about others. You would not get away with a concept like HIM in animation today. For me Octi Evil, Speed Demon, Tough Love and Telephonies were his best appearances. By far I think the best HIM scene that is really underdiscussed is his entire opening sequence of Tough Love, his rant in the bathtub, which compliments his oddly eerie tone, his comedic tone alongside his eerie nature with the rubber duck was so good, however what sold it for me was when he turns into the moon and his evil laugh after he spreads the hate mist, it truly cemented HIM as the HIGHEST class on the power totem pole, and the girls don't even defeat HIM directly, just overcome his plan. However, if I had to give a rather hottake, I felt HIM went through villain decline as the show went on and people don't really talk about it. He went from being the one villain that the girls felt uneasy toward, but would still fight despite their hesitance, to basically just as desperate and easily defeated as the other villains. This is most obvious in the Seasonal Rot Seasons 5 & 6, but this happened as early as Season 4.
They also lost a lot of his comedic balance with his sinister tone as well. For me the worst cases of villain decline from HIM were the season 4-episode Power Noia where he creates nightmares for the girls and the episode where he revives the Rowdyruff Boys, while pulling a stunt like dream manipulation is up HIM's alley, he just fumbles at the end by just being easily defeated while in one of his various forms, then cowers in fear of being attacked again. Which doesn't seem like a HIM move, compared to earlier seasons where the girls would only defeat him indirectly or in Speed Demon where he doesn't take their blows. In The Boys are Back in Town he's portrayed as a desperate villain who can't seem to do anything to the girls and doesn't have his commanding presence he did before, such as when he calls Mojo in Season 2's Telephonies pissed off at being intruded on by the girls and Mojo gives him a "yes sir". For me the last time I felt HIM was utilized well was in HIM Diddle Riddle since, while comedic it was fun seeing him test the girls in ways other villains don't and despite being played up as a joke, he actually manages to win against them. Even HIM's eerie echoes from his falsetto to demonic voice became less threatening, as not only was there less echo in the voice lessening the creepy factor, but the falsetto part of the voice was emphasized.
I believe even in his last appearance it's just spent with him bickering with Mojo over who gets to father over the Boys while his other worldly powers when he moves the sun away with a wave of his hand is used as a gag. HIM wasn't the only villain that suffered, Mojo did as well, but I feel this is an element not really discussed.
The design of him was brilliant for subconscious moral flagging. He was everything society at that time was against. Simply being evil wasn’t enough they had to associate him with other taboos to drive the idea everything he represented was worth fighting against.

@@toxicmanbaby1069he's such a nice man to read to children. When was the last time you read to a child?
Prefer a drag queen then a priest or a maths or gym teacher. You know, demographics guilty of molesting children
Why does HIM seem like he would rub shoulders with evil Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa at their little villain conferences or get togethers? Such a good all-around kid show villain.
Lord Voldemort could also be part of that conference
@@MPbmfmVoldemort: "God damnit, how do we keep getting bested by children and teenagers?!"
Lord Zedd: "...I keep asking my wife that same question."
Anyone else notice the snake is perfectly synced with the voice over? 0:05
Yea thought it was on purpose 😅
Its crazy that the algorithm showed me this because i feel the reason why i felt disturbed as a child by HIM is I never really knew his motive and why he spoke in such a soft voice that my child brain could not comprehend it, kind of gives you an idea on how to read people and how we all practice this each day…Him was so manipulative that you never really knew when or what he was gonna do next and if you take that context into real life, you learn that some people are no so different.From a psychological point of view when we read people we decide whether we like said person or not. Hims purpose is to cause chaos and fuck shit up for no reason or the reason may be so innocent to get people to do exactly what he wants and in my opinion thats what makes him scary
The symbolism of him using Saturn to do this goes right over everyone’s head
wdym
Explain plz
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. Historically it has been associated with darkness because Saturn becomes dominant in the sky at the end of the year. Saturn also has a hexagon on it that we can see. So Saturn has been long associated with bad things like darkness. In fact that’s also why we celebrate Christmas it’s real name is saturnalia
@@GothBiDemiGirl Saturn is supposedly a demonic symbolism for something I forgot. Like owls are demonic so are dragons and goats
That part
my favorite thing about HIm is that he like "Got be evil but I need to look good while being evil" Everyone forgets being evil has more to it than just being evil.
On the OG Powerpuff Girls, I'm pretty sure that there's an episode where HIM was at the end credits or near the end of they story where he tells the audience or someone that either the powerpuff girls or people will have tooth decay or cavities.
I just can't remember what episode is that.
It's not the Moral Decay nor the Candy is Dandy episode.
Edit: I've found it. Birthday Bash episode.
"Oh, simpleminded mortals. You must plan for the future. What is candy today becomes cavities tomorrow!" LOL!
There's a sad thing HIM though. We will never hear his voice again since Tom Kane retired from voice acting.
You never know, he'd probably need the right catalyst for a comeback just like Jim Carrey had
@@damianprock1650 I Hope he come back. No one can ever do a voice like HIM!
@@animeknight8958 or even others like Quincy Sharp from the Batman Arkhamverse
Bro I thought u was gonna say he dead
@@Flipitmixit i thought so too until i looked him him.
I loved his double sounding speaking voice. He is obviously a characterization of the great actor Tim Curry's Dr. Fran N Furter from Rocky Horror Picture. 👍
The episode with the stuffed octopus scared the hell out of me as a kid...
Me too I couldn't sleep for a week
My absolute favorite villian back in the day
Without a doubt HIM just wanted to watch the world burn while the other villains just wanted profit after watching the sandman series no doubt I see some desire characteristics in the character of HIM
Yep, you just wait til he, Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Princess Morbucks join forces with the Puppet King, Ventriloquist, and Scarface
@@damianprock1650 Imagine if HIM teams up with Doctor Destiny
@@milutinstankovic4638 then things would be crazy
The obvious choice to play HIM in a live-action PPG movie would be Tim Curry
Nah, I'd vote Jeffree Star ;) hehe.
An interesting idea
@@damianprock1650 Or Woody Harrelson can play him
@@JYDY-if5rf oddly enough since he played Carnage
While a great shout, it's probably not possible since he had a stroke that left him patially paralyzed. He still uses a wheelchair.
HIM was also the only enemy that they rarely if ever beat up or truly defeat in most fights
Buttercup knocked his teeth out
@@zoomanx9661 I did say rarely....not not at all....but yes
@@l.raphaelnery7299 I know, that was just a funny episode
He isnt even trying
HIM was always my favorite character even as a kid. From the way he presented himself to his power(s) to his voice to how hard it is to peg his gender on first glance. I just love everything about him.
Him always creeped me out when I was a kid. The writers did a great job with him
Him's only flaw is that he doesn't understand the power of goodness and love. The love of the PPG are stronger then his hate. But otherwise he's unbeatable. Great video.
@@A-Ls1 the fuc shyt scalates quickly af.
We are talking about HIM not "them"
@@A-Ls1
Can you dumb it down for the ones with less than average IQ? (Me)
PPGZ's version of HIM was voiced by Ryusei Nakao in the original Japanese, as in the greatest enemy of the Powerpuff Girls at one point had the voice of Goku's greatest enemy: Frieza!
Whoa
@@jamimuhammad3699 Yeah, look it up, man, I'm serious. Whoever cast the voice of Frieza to play HIM in PPGZ's original Japanese dub was a genius!
Him really creeped me out as a child. It was the voice that got me.
At least the reboot did a good job with him, you know, made him basically a final boss
Him has always reminded me of Red Guy from Cow & Chicken.
They're probably related.
It was from the same channel so who knows what was going on with studio executive decisions.
The same
Let's be real though, HIM always rocked the shit outta those heels though, God bless his ankles lmao.
Him definitely made my anxiety go up whenever I would him on tv, something was really creepy, I think it was the voice that really got me lol!
Lol Did you know that HIM'S name was almost Satan-claws? If you look at his design you can see why he was almost named that. But I think they went with "HIM" to make it more child friendly.
This proves that if Him actually TRIED instead of just playing around, Townsville (as well as the rest of the world) would cease to exist.
He's kinda cute tho💕✨and fabulous ✨💕
I love HIM
In one of Bleedman's stories, ' Grim Tales From Down Below', which is a sequel to The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Him had a daughter who was also friends with Chi, Aku's daughter! I love the manga art of both PPGD, GTFDB, and SB that are all done by Bleedman!!!
Not EVERYONE can understand Acronym, spell it out first until we ALL know what or who the fuck you're talking you little shit!
I don't recall Chi being the name of one of the 7 daughters of Aku sent to kill his sworn enemy, Samurai Jack
@@damianprock1650 the bleedman comics are fancomics I believe. So ideas like aku having children are probably a totally separate thing in that fan's universe.
@@jackrom75 unless you look at the 5th season of Samurai Jack
Also that daughter's mother was Blossom
I can't wait to see how HIM is portrayed in the new powerpuff girls annouced by it's original creator.
I wouldn't be surprised if HIM showed he had an army of creatures just like him, as a homage to his inspiration from the Yellow Submarine's "The Nasties" who bare not only a striking resemblence but also scare a level of creepiness to them.
@MRKR0MER1997 That's the one!
Sorry it's been a while since I saw it, but how they looked, I will never forget it ^^
He always reminded me of the Screaming Blue Meanie. 😆
Him was always the darkest entity in the show
i was already old when this show aired and so i just loved the spooky absurdity of HIM
The cartoon manifestation of "THE MAN"
"and also others"
Remembering he's basically the foster father of the RowdyRuff Boys.
When I was a kid, I was confused about HIM because he seemed evil at times and then also completely reasonable during other times. But I was a bit of a weird one and liked HIM quite a bit, I wasn't scared of HIM.
Most good villains are multifaceted. One dimensional villains are weak and uninteresting
Lmao I liked him too because I thought he was stylish with a nice voice. I just hated when he’d get bigger and demonic
Bubbles is adorable and lovable .
Initially that character gave me the most awkward ick creep vibes as a kid, I was also sooooo confused by the character. By the time ppg wrapped up I was pretty chill about the character though
I usually didn't watch episodes with HIM, there was just too much going on for me to comprehend at the time but I knew him was evil and a different kind of villan
Makes sense. I mean in speed demon the girls seemed tired of saving the citizens and him scared to keep them in lane. Although I don’t think that the professor created the girls after the evil creatures but at the same time. I think the professor was lonely and him made a deal that he could help him if he agreed to create both good and evil creature and the professor agreed knowing full well it is all a show for Him to stay entertained. Once in a while when him is truly bored or when he needs to teach the girls a lesson to stay obedient and keep the show running he goes down to earth and does something to them.
While Mojo Jojo is in my Opinion the Best Villain in the Series to how he’s the Complete Opposite of the Girls and how He’s Important to the Lore,However HIM is the Most Evil,Unpredictable,Mysterious,and Dangerous Villain not Only on the Powerpuff Girls but Everything Media,HIM is one of those Demonic Villains that wants to bring Outer Chaos and Destroy while Torturing His Enemies Psychologically and if the Plan Fails,He would Never Repeat the Same Mistake as He would Improve,The Girls are the Embodiment of Love and Hope for a Better Future as they’re made from Sugar,Spice,and Everything Nice and HIM Despises Them for that Key Factor that it might be his Weakness but both Him and the Girls knows that they were Lucky no matter how many Times they Stop Him Him will Always Be the Biggest Thorn for the Powerpuff Girls’ Side they can’t Stop that in a Way it’s a Tragedy.
Him is more of a serious villain. Where as mojo Jojo is a bit more of a fun guy
I watched Hellraiser and scream growing up, but Speed Demon the unarguably most scarring of all the Powerpuff girl episodes, that screwed with me.
HIM was always my favorite villain from PowerPuff Girls.
He's a living critique of the villainisation of Queerness. You should know that by now.
I just thought he was gay and not a threat
When i was a child due to his looks I thought he mightve been a female (despite his beard). But his voice made me think he really was a male. I admire his powers but I see him (pun intended) as the cartoon satan
I need more of HIM 😌.
HIM was originally supposed to be the professor's homosexual brother who he was ashamed of..
"Him" is much better in the Hungarian translation. Hungarian doesn't have any gendered language and Men and Women are both referred to as "ő" in the 3rd person (no he or she).
So when you watch it in Hungarian as a kid you are constantly wondering whether the villain is a guy or a girl.
Him terrifying and scary dark antagonist Powerpuff girls Great video ❤️❤️❤️🧡
That eerie music that would play when anyone mentioned his name gave me the chills.
I never saw him as scary but funny like the riddler
Then you have yet to see the Riddler join forces with Jimmy Neutron's rogues gallery
Ah I remember him, the devil in heels 👠
Him looks like one of santa's lil helpers who is confused about his sexuality then escaped santa to do his own stuff
Him is serving drag house Christmas realness hunny
Purrrrr
When I was young I definitely thought him was the most dangerous villain. Even mojo jojo wasn’t as bad as him
'I just stood there waving goodbye... I just stood there waving goodbye... and they raced off!!' Ms Keen's line in Speed Demon was nightmare fuel!
Even though he was the scariest thing to me as a kid, those gucci boots are fierce !
the more I know about him, the more I'm convinced he's just playing with them and loses on purpose not to break its toys
I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that Him was inspired by Frank N Further from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
I won't lie, Kaiju Him was one of the coolest thing I've seen in that show!
I love HIM so much, def my fav villain. Not just favorite villain, though he’s also my favorite character.
Speed demon was terrifying
This character was one crazy Mother Lover ! Lmfao 🤣
Wouldn't be surprised if Him was based off the villain in yellow submarine
That’s a good guess! Definitely seems like the creators got inspired by the blue meanies for sure!
When did Powerpuff girls get Powerpuff girls chakra mode and I forgot they added a black power puff girl. God Dam HIM IS just ridiculous give me a break. He legit is a demon….
I thought i was the only one who was scared him
You not alone I'm surprised they got away with making this character and parents never complained but they complained about Invader Zim talk about irony😅
Did you say 'porn store'?
This villain was pure nightmare fuel for me as a child. Sometimes when I used to watch this show, and I watch an episode I haven't seen and whenever he appeared on screen I'd be like: NOPE! *Shuts off TV*
He'd fit right in today with a certain movement
Everyone be saying Him is scary and all but for me when I first saw Him I was confused if he was a female or male💀
Two characters scared me as a child. Him and Goldust
As a kid, I thought Him was actually the devil
This villain made me so incredibly uneasy as a child. He is just so awkward.
I wanted to be Him for Halloween this year but I can't find thigh highs in men's size 14 or 16 in ladies.
If HIM been made on cartoon this year era. Everyone would get triggered by it. Blame it as lgbt and trans symbol
I came here because I wanted the backstory of this character. Instead I became shocked that there is a fourth powerpuff girl.
HIM is definitely a was a constant menace for ppg 😂😂😂😂😂
I always loved the pitch changes In his voice 😈
He strikes me as a red Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine.
I always thought HIM was a Marilyn Manson reference.
HIM was my favourite villains of the series
Imagine if Him met Desire of Endless from The Sandman
Plot twist Him is a servant of Desire.
@@musicgirl12357 WHAT?!?!
bro got planets booping and booping LMFAO, ain't no way id fight him!!!
I prefer not knowing the name simply referring to them as HIM is scary itself
Him had the biggest pair of strpper boots I'd ever seen
